FORBIDDEN ICE: CLAIMING THE CAPTAIN'S SISTER 166
CHAPTER 166STANDING IN COURT ROWANThe second the Dean told Ellis to start talking, the energy in the room shifted. It was something you could feel. Ellis straightened slightly beside me, shoulders tight like he was deciding how much truth to give and how much to hold back. I didn’t blame him, there was too much truth in this mess, and none of it sounded clean.He cleared his throat and began to talk. “It started at the showcase,” he said carefully. “Victor performed a song and the lyrics… were personal. They were directed at someone.”The Dean lifted a brow, shifting his glasses up the bridge of his nose. “Directed at who?”Ellis hesitated, and I saw the flicker in his eyes. He was probably thinking of Isla, and how whatever he says would affect her.He decided to choose his words carefully. “They were directed at a student. Someone he knows.”Victor scoffed, rolling his eyes. “It was art. We were all asked to display our talents, so I did.”The Dean didn’t even look at him as he

CHAPTER 165WALKING INTO CONSEQUENCESELLISThe security officer stepped out from the back office and looked at us like a man who regretted every life decision that had brought him to this moment. He didn't look like any of the ones that had grabbed us the previous day, but whatever fill-in he got made him already tired of something that hadn't even started. “They’re ready to take you now,” he said, turning around to start walking again, but I stopped him. “Take us where?” I asked, my eyebrows dipped into a frown. I thought this was where whatever judgement would go on would go on. He sighed like he’d already answered this question ten times already that day. “The Dean’s office.”The weight of those words were enough to deafen my ear. I exchanged a look with Rowan, Noah straightened from where he was leaning against the wall, and even Asher’s shoulders stiffened slightly.Nobody liked hearing “Dean’s office”. It carried the same energy as a storm warning. You knew something bad w

CHAPTER 164AFTER THE HITELLISThey say anger can make anyone die anything and everything. That the power of anger was nothing compared to none. I never really understood it or how it felt, but now I did. Anger sat under my skin like fire, and this one wasn't loud. It was heavy, controlled and the kind that made every muscle in my body feel tight and restless. It made me want to hit something again just so my hands would stop shaking.Security had a firm grip on my arm, dragging me through the backstage hallway like I was some delinquent they’d just pulled off the street. The noise from the crowd faded behind us, but my heartbeat refused to slow down.Victor stumbled ahead of us, holding his jaw, still running his mouth even after getting dropped twice.How can someone be so talented and good at being an asshole. “You’re all insane,” he spat, glaring back. “You assaulted me in front of everyone—”“Shut the fuck up!” I snapped, tired of his bullshit. Rowan’s voice came right after

CHAPTER 163ALL HELL BROKE LOOSEROWANI don’t think I’ve ever hated silence more than I did in that moment. It hung over the room like something waiting to explode. It was thin, brittle and ready to crack with the slightest push.Victor stood on stage, smug even after getting cornered. Isla stood frozen beside Ellis and Asher, her shoulders tight and her voice shaking but still trying to fight back. I could see the effort it took for her not to fall apart in front of everyone.And it pissed me off.I wasn't just angry, I was angry in every sense of the word. I didn't care about the fact that I could be in trouble any second, all I cared about was Isla. Because I knew that look on her face.I’ve seen her hurt before, I’veseen her scared. But this? This was humiliation. Public, deliberate humiliation, and Victor was enjoying every second of it.Asher hadn’t moved yet. He was still standing there, jaw clenched, his eyes bouncing between Isla and the stage like he was fighting two differ

CHAPTER 162WHEN THE TRUTH IS A WEAPONISLAVictor’s smile widened slowly, like he had been waiting for this exact moment. It was as if he didn't initially say the name out of pure courtesy.And now the opportunity he'd been waiting for had presented itself. The entire room leaned forward, the anticipation almost physical as it pressed against my skin. Even the air felt thinner and heavier. Looks like everyone was holding their breath at the same time.“Fine,” he said into the microphone, voice smooth and calm. “Since we’re all so eager for clarity… I’ll reveal who the story is about.”A wave of murmurs swept through the hall and my heartbeat slammed against my ribs. He looked straight at Asher first, letting his gaze hang on him. “But,” he added, tone dripping with mock sympathy, “don’t be too shocked if the bullet hits closer to home than you expected.”A few scattered laughs echoed around the room and Asher smiled back. And it wasn't hard to tell there was nothing amusing about t

CHAPTER 161BREWING CHAOSISLAThis is the part where you wish for the ground to open up and swallow you whole. Because how did I get stuck in the middle of all this bullshit?The silence after Asher’s voice resounded in the room felt louder than the music and every other performance that had occurred there was. It was more than just his soft voice, it was heavy when thick with a lot of things I couldn't decipher. The kind that made your ears ring and your heartbeat suddenly sound like a drum in your own chest.Victor stood frozen on stage for only a second, guitar still hanging against his hip. The microphone was catching every small breath he took, his chest falling and rising in a steady motion. The spotlight painted him in warm gold, but the smile on his face felt cold from where I sat.Asher didn’t sit down, and that sent more chills down my spine, together with the dangerous soft look on his face. My brother wasn’t loud when he was really angry. He didn’t need to shout. He just
