It took Daniel fifteen minutes to realize that Anabella was not listening to the work he was saying.
Rage surged inside him as his alpha felt insulted. Daniel raised his hand before a firm slap echoed through the room.
The red print on Anabella's face was proof of Daniel's rage, but her unblinking and unnerving glare kept Daniel in check.
He wanted to bring his hand down Anabella's cheeks again, but his arm had lost all power after that first slap.
"Tsk, I want you to pay attention next time and not make the same mistake. The only reason I am going easy on you this time is because you are sick. Otherwise…"
The alpha raged until he was out of the room.
This time, Anabella kept a neutral face, but her facade was finally broken once the alpha was gone. She turned to look beneath her covers where James was hiding and gestured for him to come out.
"You don't have to be afraid anymore. Your father is gone, so you can escape hiding now."
