Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 174: Another Chase

Unlike the first time Roman had carried her, Violet was tense now and it wasn’t just because they were about to descend from the tree house.

After their heated exchange, Violet no longer trusted him. He was not who she had thought he was. Roman Draven was nothing but a fox who seem to be enjoying this power play far too much.

But no, there was only a self-satisfied gleam in his glowing green eyes.
