Quentin's face twisted with rage as he stormed toward Citrine. "What did you just say, Citrine Carmichael? Are you looking for trouble?"

He looked ready to strike her, and Citrine narrowed her eyes, preparing to defend herself. But before she could react, a large, strong hand gripped Quentin's arm, stopping him cold.
