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."

"And what exactly does this animal side want?" she asked, suspicion still in her voice.

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.

"Are you fucking kidding me right now?!"

Violet muttered something under her breath, something that sounded an awful lot like,’ Is this your latest tactic to get into my pants?’

Roman’s brows twitched in irritation, but his voice remained calm. "I might have played games before, but I kid you not this time." His eyes burned into hers, unwavering. "I have no control over this. It’s never happened before. If it had, I would have never risked spending time with you. Moreover... You are partially responsible for this as well."

Violet’s expression flashed with anger.

"Don’t you dare put this on me."

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.
