Kinnon Youngshaper's eyes were burning with jealousy and rage.
He was thankful for Ronan's help in finding Lucien, but he in no way tolerated the closeness between them. Especially not after his and Lucien's marriage plan had been announced.
Ronan should have known his place.
Kinnon stepped into the room and held out his hand to touch Lucien's chin.
"Lucien, how are you doing?"
A strange light flickered across Lucien's eyes when he caught sight of Kinnon. Instinctively, Kinnon withdrew his hand and retreated a few steps. That was the right thing to do.
A split second later, Lucien jumped off the bed and launched at Kinnon with an inhuman speed. Two sets of sharp, glinting wolf claws protruded from the pair of deformed human hands, aiming at Kinnon's neck and chest.
"Lucien...!!!"
The claws missed Kinnon by a hairbreadth. If Ronan did not additionally hold Lucien back by his waist, Lucien would not have missed his target.
