章 45: Suspecting Callum(Storm's Point of View)

I stare in disbelief at Callum, eyeing him suspiciously.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Makai growls at him.

He holds his hands up in surrender, about to speak when he spots my frozen handiwork.

"Oh, my goddess Stormy! Did you do that? I always knew you had it in you and would rise to the occasion when it matters."

Makai glances at me. "What does he mean?"

I feel the flush climbing up my neck. "This is the first time I've dead-frozen a living thing. In magic school, I couldn't bring myself to dead-freeze the practice animals."

Makai gapes at me. "Storm, you're a wolf. You eat animals daily but you couldn't freeze them for practice?"

"It's not just freezing!" I defend. "It's a dead-freeze. Whatever is inside a dead freeze just dies. If I eat the animal, its death serves the good purpose of filling my stomach and nourishing me. You can't eat something after a death freeze so in that case the animal just dies a useless death."
