Maria looked Neal dead in the eyes after hearing what he had just spouted. Her jaw clenched and her teeth were almost being grinded into powder as she held herself back.
After fifteen whole minutes, she managed to calm down and chuckled gently.
The fifteen minutes that Maria took to cool down didn't seem to have any effect on Neal but when her lips broke free and giggled like a small girl, he couldn't help getting on guard, subconsciously.
Danger was lurking!
You said..you are Neal Cliff, a beta to Lyrand Cliff, your clan's alpha, the Cliff family. And you are here to take back a child that belongs to your Alpha?" Her eyes were clear but that was what was most frightening.
Neal was on edge and almost shifting into his Lycan form. That's how much pressure he was under..this pressure was even greater than that of his Alpha!!!!
Not even with all clan elders combined would he be able to make him feel this way.
