Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 220: The Alpha Who Cried Wolf.

Eyes narrowed and with an uneasy feeling curling low in her belly, Violet asked, "What do you mean, bonded with me?"

Roman exhaled heavily, dragging a hand through his already ruffled green hair. "It must have happened that day I shifted into my cat’s form."

The skeptical look that flickered across Violet’s face made Roman’s expression darken. He clenched his jaw before saying, "I’m not kidding, Violet. My animal side is an extension of myself. We are one and the same. Even though I override it as its owner, it still affects me nonetheless."

Roman swallowed, "I shift mostly during the night, and after its walk, it..." He hesitated for a second before finishing, "it wants to rest close to you."

There was a beat of silence until her outburst.

Violet’s expression flashed with anger.

Her voice was razor-edged, cutting through the tension like a blade.

"Don’t you even dare."

She stepped closer, eyes burning with anger. "I already paid the price, Roman. You cashed in the favor of using Kitten Roman and turned me into a Rogue, remember?"

Roman’s lips parted, but no words came out. His head dipped slightly, and he whimpered.
