His icy blue eyes shone with a contained, sociopathic fury that was infinitely more terrifying than an outburst of screaming.

“Safety?” he whispered, stepping forward until his shadow completely enveloped her.

“Do you honestly believe my child needs to hide inside a tank like a coward?”

The sound was faint.

But to Julian’s obsessive, controlling ears, it was an unforgivable offense.
