Not that she wasn’t properly terrified, but not of Bran. She met Bran’s eyes and bared her teeth at him as the wave of his power brushed past her like a spring breeze. When Anna had first come to Aspen Creek, beaten and abused as she’d been, if anyone had yelled at her, she’d have hid in a corner and not come out for a week. Though he made no outward move, the speed of their surrender testified to Bran’s anger and his dominance-and only Anna, somewhat to her surprise at her own temerity, stayed on her feet.
