“I was a little angry.'

Casteel arched a brow as he glanced at me. 'A little?'

I narrowed my eyes. 'Okay, I was very angry.'

'I didn't know that,' Alastir said from behind the rim of his cup.

'Obviously, Casteel takes after his father when it comes to women with sharp objects,' Jasper commented with a snort. 'I feel like I'm missing some vital information that Delano conveniently left out when he met me halfway.'

I frowned, but at least I knew where Delano had been.

'You stabbed Casteel?' Jasper repeated. 'In the heart? With bloodstone? And you thought it would kill him?'

'In my defence, I felt bad afterward.'

'She did cry,' Casteel remarked.

I was going to stab him again.”
