Branson POV: I knew it! I don’t know how, but I knew that’s what he was going to say. At first, I had noticed he would sometimes seem to struggle with controlling his temper, though it was nothing really extreme. In fact, I just thought it was nothing more than your typical alpha anger. But I started getting a little suspicious when he was at my pack. The number of rogues he had taken down during my and Reena’s alone time was mind-boggling, and not once was he injured. I still played it off. He’s a strong alpha and a good warrior, but I did have some doubts. Then seeing him when he burst into the room, the way he had shredded…literally shredded…those hunters to pieces told me what I needed to know. The look in his wolf's eye when he turned to me, the pure rage, was more than just normal
