A shiver rippled through the onlookers, not from the cold but from the sudden, crushing weight of Ethan’s aura.
It pressed down on them, a reminder of his place in the top ten of the rankings—a reminder of the gap between Noah’s fury and Ethan’s power.
Noah’s eyes widened, but he did not back down. Ice began to crawl up Ethan’s arm, the frost biting into his skin.
