Upon hearing Ronan's words, Elder Devin, who slammed his hand against the table in front of him, shouted, "Alpha Ronan! You are speaking about the birth family of your late mother! Do watch your tongue!"
Ronan turned to look at Elder Devin. The pair of eyes typical of the Fangblade bloodline looked extra fierce when coupled with Dane Silverback's signature cold gaze.
"Thank you, Uncle. I am aware of what I just said."
Elder Devin turned beet red. He looked like he wanted to curse Ronan out for being disrespectful, but in the end, he decided to swallow the indignation instead.
Elder Devin did not continue defending the Fangblade family against Ronan, but everyone felt uncomfortable badmouthing an ancient bloodline that had unfortunately been discontinued.
"We should rule out this possibility, Alpha Ronan," Gregor said. "Unless you think that Elijah Summertide stole the poison when he was but a youngling of ten years old or less."
