Rescuing the Alphas (1)

"Huh?"

The image of the little blond boy who hugged his leg appeared before Ronan's eyes. That little guy was injured? When? Before or after he made the phone call?

Ronan did not listen in on the phone conversation, but if it's before, should Lucien not say anything? Lucien would tell him this kind of thing. Besides, they chatted for some time. An injured boy would not talk that long into a phone.

Was it after, then? Did he get punished because he made the phone call...?

No... unlikely. Kinnon would not do that to his only child.

"What happened to him?" Ronan heard himself asking.

Exasperated laughter rang out from Kinnon's side.

"Ronan, what are you playing dumb for? You can play the hero for the whole world, including Lucien, to see. In front of me, do not try to even pretend. I know what kind of person you are."
