Viola had seen the slap coming and knew the she-wolf was going to hit her for the way she had addressed her by name. She had already prepared herself to stop it before it landed, and she caught the she-wolf's wrist so effortlessly that it stunned Ember.
"You don't think I'll let you hit me again after what happened the last time," Viola said, tightening her grip around Ember's wrist. "I want you and Leni out of this building right now, or you might not like what I do next."
She threw out the threat even though she herself knew there was very little she could actually do if the two she-wolves decided to gang up on her. Still, she was the Luna as the crown hadn't been taken from her, and technically she still had the authority to send them out of anywhere in Silver if she chose to.
Ember parted her lips to respond and pulled at her wrist, expecting the effortless resistance of someone wolfless, but something was wrong.
