Bab 255: Drexel's Other Side

Zephyr felt an unsettling shift in the air. His fists tightened with barely controlled rage, and the look in his eyes was downright chilling. People could almost feel the sharp edge of his anger.

But it wasn't because someone was after him—he could handle that. What really got under his skin was the fact that someone was willing to mess with the Alliance's success for their own shady reasons.
