Chapter 255: Stay Quiet
Sebastian~
"Tiger," I growled, barely reining in the crackle beneath my skin. "Please. Just give it to me straight. Where. Is. Zane?"
He didn’t flinch. Didn’t blink. Didn’t move an inch.
I asked again—louder this time, my voice slicing through the quiet between us. I stepped in, close enough to catch the scent of damp soil and tree bark curling from his skin. That wild, rooted scent he always carried like some forest-born sentinel.
But still—nothing.
Tiger just stood there.
Unmoving. Unshaken.
Like a living statue carved from ancient wood and quiet defiance. A tree that refused to bend, no matter how loud the wind screamed.
I could’ve screamed myself.
"Tiger," I tried again, quieter now, my voice threaded with a lethal kind of calm. "Tell me where Zane is. Now."
His gaze didn’t even flicker.
