CHAPTER 370
~Valerie's POV~
The wall behind me was cold, but his body wasn't. Dristan stood so close, every breath I took brushed against his chest.
His eyes were darker now, edged with something between anger and frustration.
I shoved at him, palms flat against his chest. "Speak," I snapped. "Stop trying to intimidate me."
He smirked, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly. "If I was trying to intimidate you, you'd know."
My heart thudded, but I refused to look away. "Then stop acting like you're above everyone else. I'm not a fan of your on-and-off support. One second you're defending me, the next, you're throwing me to the wolves."
He leaned in slightly, jaw tight. "Funny. I should be saying that to you. One minute you're accusing me of hurting people, and the next, you're playing detective on my behalf."
"You left me no choice," I hissed, meeting his stare.
"I was only analysing and looking for the best way to help you out."
