Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 292: Rogue Pack

For over a minute, none of the girls said a word. Not after what they’d just seen.

"I think I’m traumatized," Ivy was the first to break the silence. "I need a drink." She took a few steps before throwing her hands in the air. "We don’t even have a damn drink!"

Lila stood. "Give me a minute."

She vanished and returned moments later with a bottle filled with some strange blue liquid. Before Ivy could even comment, Lila had already poured her a glass.

Ivy eyed the drink skeptically. "Is this even safe?" It would be foolish to assume Lila had just pulled a random bottle from the heavens. This had Fae concoction written all over it.

"Yes, it’s safe for humans. And perfect for the kind of uncomfortable situation we find ourselves in," Lila said, urging her to try.

Well, what’s the worst that could happen? It’s not like she’d dance until her feet blistered and her heart gave out. Right? She’d read all about humans and enchanted Fae food. But Ivy chose to believe she hadn’t done anything to provoke Lila. Kind of. Hopefully. Whatever.

Ivy tilted her head back and downed the shot, only to groan seconds later as it hit her like a lightning bolt to the brain. "God!" she gasped, then laughed. "This is insanely strong, yet tastes perfect at the same time. I don’t even know how to explain the feeling."

"I need one too," Violet said.

"Same," Daisy echoed, clearly convinced after Ivy had just served as their very brave, very dramatic test subject.

Minutes later, the girls sat slouched on the sofa, half-drunk drinks in hand, staring blankly into space. No one dared bring up what they had just watched, each waiting for the other to speak first.
