In the next second, before Alice could do anything to stop her, Annalynne already pounced at Ronan and landed a slap across the Alpha's face.
A crisp sound tore through the air. Ronan's head was forcefully turned to the side following the direction of the slap.
Anger quickly rose within Ronan's heart.
The Alpha turned to glare at the junior who dared to hit him, but the fierce expression on his face quickly disappeared when he saw Annalynne's tear-streaked face.
Healed from the ugly scars that marred her appearance, her crying face was remarkably similar to Lucien's.
His anger melted away, replaced by a feeling of helplessness.
"How dare you," Annalynne repeated, her lips shaking from both fury and sadness.
