Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 128: Becoming A Villain

Violet shivered under the steady stream of the shower, her body trembling even with the warmth of the water cascading over her.

However, the chill wasn’t from the temperature, but from her last encounter with Asher in the counselor’s office. And no matter how hard Violet tried to shake it, the memory clung to her like a second skin.

She could still feel the twist in her stomach, the way her anger had burned bright for a fleeting moment before being snuffed out by a cold, dark fear.

Asher was deadly serious. She had known from the look in his eyes, the way his hands gripped her wrists as though he was holding himself back from doing something even more dangerous.

Asher had not been making an idle threat. He meant every word. And now, those words echoed in her mind like a haunting refrain.

Your first time is mine. You’re mine. Defy me, and I’ll kill him myself.

Violet closed her eyes tightly, leaning her forehead against the cool tiles of the shower wall.

She had slapped him hard across the face before storming out, her hand still stinging from the impact even an hour later. But her anger hadn’t been enough to purge the gravity of his threat.

The first thing Violet had done was to run back to her dormitory in a haste to scrub away his scent and the lingering stain off her. And right now, with the shower beating down hard on her hair, Violet found herself questioning his threat once more.
