The Alpha's Mother Lied

Lady Adele Fangblade was supposedly "still in bed" and was unable to meet Ronan and Lucien.

While Ronan was still hesitating between throwing up all over Dane or giving the man a punch across the face, the diplomatic Lucien ripped the yellow rose bouquet from Ronan's clenched fists and handed it over to Dane.

"We will come again later," he said with a curt smile before dragging Ronan back to their apartment.

The Alpha seemed to have been frozen into a huge chunk of ice. 

"Ronan?"

Lucien tried his best to commiserate with his mate, but he really couldn't. He and Annalynne came from a functional family with parents who loved each other. Although both of them were grossed out by the thought that their parents were still sexually active, they were not exactly allergic to the idea.

Ronan was entirely different.
