Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 166: Wolves’ Den

The moment the signal was given, chaos erupted.

Students scattered like a herd of startled deer, their bodies moving forward with a singular goal to escape and win. Eyes burned with desperation, feet pounded against the damp earth, and within seconds, the wild expanse became a battlefield of newbies pushing, shoving, clawing for an advantage.

Violet’s grip on Lila tightened, her fingers digging into the girl’s wrist. Beside them, Daisy clung to Ivy, all of them moving in sync as they cut through the frenzy.

Desperate students tried to shove between them or rather, strategically separate their competition. But the four girls held their ground, pushing forward like a current refusing to be broken.

The tall grass lashed at their legs, slick with rain and mud. The damp air burned in Violet’s lungs, her breath coming in ragged gasps. But stopping wasn’t an option. Not now. Not ever.

"Fuck it!" she cursed, swiping her wet face with her left hand.

The ground beneath them had become soft and muddy from the rain that Alaric had summoned. What mercy? Asher’s so-called mercy was nothing but a cruel trick, an added layer of difficulty to an already merciless game.

"This is fun!" Lila screamed, her eyes alight with exhilaration

Violet snapped her head toward her, incredulous. Was the girl insane? What part of this game looked fun?

Behind them, she could feel the heated gazes of the werewolves, each ready to close in on them the moment the waiting time was over.

"I mean, look at this! It looks like we might actually run past—ahh!" Lila’s words were cut off by a sickening snap.

A sudden force ripped her off her feet, and in the blink of an eye, she was whipped into the air.

"Lila!" Violet screamed, skidding to a stop, her heart plummeting.
