Chapter 39: Painting Of The Past

A layer of ice formed over Lucien's eyes as he watched Lillian's convincing performance. This was the second time someone tried to make him up to be the villain in front of Ronan.

Lucien folded his arms in front of his chest in defiance and turned to look at Ronan with a raised eyebrow, indirectly challenging him. Ronan gave him an annoyed look.

"What is going on in here?" the Alpha demanded to know.

"I... It's just... I accidentally offended Lucien." Lillian put a hand on Ronan's arm. Coupled with the teary eyes, she looked very pitiful. "Please help me apologize to him, Ronan..."

Ronan looked at Lillian's tear-streaked face. The tears were real, but was she acting or was she not? Oh, but did it matter? Could it be that Lucien was jealous of Lillian and thus attacked her? A victorious smile spread on Ronan's face.
