Soren
I stormed out of the building, my anger seething just beneath the surface, only to find Rowan leaning casually against the car. The sight of him, so calm after what he'd done, sent my fury over the edge. Without a second thought, I marched up to him and slapped him hard across the face. His head snapped to the side, but he didn't flinch or retaliate. He just stood there, his jaw tightening.
I expected him to come at me, to demand why I hit him but he just looked like he was expecting it and that pissed me off the more.
"What the hell was that in there?" I demanded,
He slowly turned back to me, his face unreadable. "I did what I had to do."
"You completely undermined me in front of them!" I snapped. "Do you have any idea what kind of position that puts me in? An Alpha that can't keep his house in order. You made us bicker in front of them."
