There was a sickening crunch that filled the air, and from my spot on the bed, I could see Cassian's eyes bug out in shock as he staggered back, taken by surprise by the full weight of Rowan's anger.
I guessed he had never expected his own brother to hit him so hard. Even though Cassian was also an alpha, whatever strength he had was still considered paltry when compared to Rowan's righteous anger, especially since Cassian was taken off guard.
If he could fall to a sudden kick to the nuts, then a proper punch from Rowan would've hurt a lot more than whatever human strength I had put into kneeing him previously. Or perhaps, Cassian simply hadn't fully recovered from his earlier poisoning.
Either way, I was too tired to care about his problems when I had a laundry list of my own.
"You hit me?" Cassian spat out a bloody mouthful. I wouldn't be surprised if Rowan's punch had dislodged a couple of teeth, considering how red his mouth was. "Over her?"
