Irene needed no protection. Her shoulders were squared, eyes blazing with defiance as she released an equally fierce roar, challenging Henry to do his worst. She wasn't going to back down.
"Whoa!" Leon quickly stepped between them, gripping Henry's shoulder to hold him back. "I believe it hasn't gotten to this. Remember, we're here to gain the Alpha King's approval, not his disapproval," he reminded the raging Alpha.
Henry didn't struggle against Leon's grip, but the rumbling growl in his throat didn't lessen. Leon was the only thing standing in his way of teaching that insolent bitch a lesson she wouldn't forget.
For a moment, it seemed like Henry was finally calming down, but that was until Irene tilted her head and called him, "Pussy."
And that did it!
Henry lost it!
