"Because I'm telling you right now, I have no intention of marking Violet. Not now, not ever," Rowan declared with grim finality.
It took every bit of control in me not to burst out laughing, especially when I caught sight of the dumbstruck expression on Violet's face. She had never been on the other end of this equation, where the Alphas were treating her as the negative influence that needed to be purged.
Earlier, Rowan had merely ordered her to make herself useful. Now he was straight up implying that her words were nonsense and shouldn't be listened to!
Her eyes were red, though I couldn't tell if it was out of anger, frustration, or hurt. It could easily be a mix of all, seeing as how her fists were now curled at her sides, and she looked ready to dig her claws into my face if Rowan wasn't here.
