She did not sound too happy.

In fact, she was furious.

“What the hell do you think you are doing, Ronan Silverback???” she snapped at Ronan. “Do you take my brother as a joke? How can you let that woman dangle from your arm during the day and still have the face to sleep in the same bed with my brother at night?”

Ronan did not need to ask to know what made Annalynne so angry.

On top of Lillian writing a post to announce that “they” were having a baby boy, some paparazzi posted pictures and videos of them walking together in and out of the hospital.

Once these pictures and videos circulated, they caused a huge uproar.

Why?

Because, ever since Lillian’s pregnancy was announced, this was the first time she was seen together with Ronan, the alleged father of her baby.

.....

Fans who supported Ronan and Lillian praised the closeness between the future parents and reveled in the sweet moments that they shared during the hospital visit.

Those who supported Ronan and Lucien were happy to see Ronan being involved in his child’s development prior to birth. They also admired Lucien for his strength and willingness to share Ronan’s love with the unborn child.

Other than these two groups, there were also people who were infuriated by this news.

Such as, for example, the new Alpha of Silent Walkers Pack, Annalynne Clearwater.

Truth be told, this was not the first time someone criticized Ronan on Lucien’s behalf.

The other person was Kinnon Youngshaper, who cornered him a day after Lillian posted the image with the red roses.

The Alpha of the Night Prowler Pack told him openly that if he didn’t know how to treat Lucien the right way, he should send Lucien to East Temple City.

He would be glad to show Ronan how.

Ronan had gritted his teeth and shoved Kinnon away without responding.

“I am dealing with it,” Ronan told Annalynne.

He was sick of not being able to tell the truth. Sick of being at the receiving end of critics. And most of all, sick of hurting his mate.

“If by ‘dealing with it’ you mean letting my brother suffer, I am going to personally make you pay for it!”

Ronan was not in the mood to fight with Annalynne. He ended the call right away and threw his phone away.

“What’s wrong?” Lucien looked up from the book that he was reading.

“Nothing,” Ronan answered in exasperation before he punched the wall next to him.

Lucien sighed into his book. It did not look like nothing at all.

“Who did you talk to just now?”

He rose from his seat and approached his mate.

“Just some business partners.”

“Don’t lie to me, Ronan Silverback. I can hear the agitation in your voice.”

“... Your sister.”

“Ah.”

Lucien tilted his head to the side and observed Ronan’s face. He had his eyelashes lowered, unable to even look at Lucien. Was it guilt?

“Did you do anything to warrant her anger?”

“No!” Ronan denied it right away, but when he recalled the photos and videos, he was not so sure.

“Maybe,” he said helplessly.

But what else could he do? There was no love between him and Lillian, but there was a secret arrangement. One that he could share with no one unless he wanted them to end up like his mother.

Lucien put his book away and touched Ronan’s cheeks. His hands traveled down to his neck, then settled on his chest.

“Did you sleep with her again?”

Eyes big from disbelief, Ronan’s jaw dropped open.

“NO!”

Ronan grabbed Lucien by his wrists.

“You would have known if I did! You would be able to smell her scent on me! Lulu, I swear, I did not!”

Lucien sneered.

“I know you didn’t. Also... Honestly, that would be quite disgusting.”

“...”

“What did you do then?” Lucien asked in an unhurried tone, but his gaze was as sharp as a blade.

Ronan groaned in exasperation. He did not want to describe it, so he took out his phone and showed Lucien the pictures and videos that Mara Keenthorne sent him.

“Just these.”

“Mm.”

Lucien gazed at the screen and scrolled up and down for a long time.

“I hate to say it, but you two do make a beautiful couple.”

“She and I are NOT a couple!” Ronan shouted, shocked by the mere statement.

He grabbed Lucien by his waist and pressed a kiss on his lips.

The kiss was a rough one.

“Mnhh...” Lucien furrowed his brows when Ronan pried his lips open and thrust his tongue inside Lucien’s mouth like a savage beast.

His lips were sucked and bitten until they were swollen.

Even after Ronan was done ravishing his mate’s oral cavity, his indignation failed to ebb.

“Lulu, WE, you and I, are a couple. Don’t ever think otherwise!”

Lucien wiped saliva off his lips and chuckled.

“I know. It’s too bad that...”

Lucien did not end his sentence. He looked down at his flat stomach and rubbed it instead. It was very brief, but the gesture broke Ronan’s heart.

“I don’t need it,” Ronan said with a hoarse voice. “Unless it’s ours, I don’t need a child. I don’t need any heir.”

A thin smile graced Lucien’s beautiful face.

“Fatherhood is an amazing experience,” he told his mate. “Although I am unhappy about Lillian’s pregnancy, I am glad that you get to be a father.”

But it isn’t even my baby, Lulu...!!!

Ronan was about to go crazy.

“I will talk to Anna,” Lucien promised while patting Ronan’s chest. “Don’t worry, I am neither angry nor upset.”

“Lulu...”

Ronan leaned closer to kiss Lucien again, but then his phone started to ring.

“...”

“Pick up, it might be important.”

“No,” Ronan picked his mate up into his arms instead. “You are more important.”

Lucien chuckled.

“Are you still trying to get me pregnant?”

“I never said that I would stop,” Ronan quipped.

Before Lucien found the time to talk to Annalynne in peace, the unhappy sister showed up the next day at the Infinite Eclipse Pack’s pack house.
