Chapter 165: Sound Of Thunder

"He’s going to come after me," Violet whispered to herself with dread. Her friends heard her, their expressions shifting to one of concern.

"What do you mean by that?" Lila asked, alarmed.

Violet clenched her fists. "This is my one chance to leave the West House, but Asher won’t let that happen. He’ll focus all his resources on capturing me."

"Alaric won’t stay still either way," Daisy countered. "You’re his girlfriend. This is his chance to keep you close. It’ll turn into a fight over you, and I have no doubt Griffin and Roman will back their respective friends."

"Wait a minute," Ivy interjected, a spark of realization in her eyes. "If they all fight over you, doesn’t that mean it’ll give us enough time to escape? What happens if we actually manage to escape without getting caught?"

No one had an answer, and Ivy, never one to hesitate, raised her voice, addressing the Alphas directly. "What happens if we escape successfully? Do we still have to return to our old house?"

Griffin answered her, "You’ll have the choice to join any house you want."

Hope spread like wildfire among the newbies. If they escape, they will be free to choose a house for themselves. The possibility of such freedom was intoxicating considering all of them had a dream Alpha they wanted to stay under.

Ivy turned back to her roommates with excitement. "So, let’s say we make it together. What house would we pick other than the West House?"

"North House, probably," Lila suggested, glancing at Violet. "She has a cardinal Alpha for a boyfriend. We’d have a smoother stay there."

Daisy, ever the strategist, shook her head. "Elsie is already a member of the North House. If Violet moves in, it’ll turn into a warzone for power."

"If it comes down to that, Violet will win. I believe in her," Lila said with absolute faith in her voice.

"Or," Ivy cut in, "we avoid the drama and go with the East House. Griffin isn’t so bad, and he and Alaric are friends."

"It still wouldn’t be better than staying under her boyfriend’s watch!" Lila argued.
