Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 338: Enjoy Your Night

"Violet, Ezra has secured a place in District Seven. There are excellent human schools there, and you can attend without risking your life," Nancy said in a rushed breath, fully aware Violet didn't want to hear any of it.

"No. No. No. I don't want to hear that," Violet shook her head like the words were poison meant to corrupt her mind. She turned quickly to Lila, gesturing toward Nancy. "Are you going to stand there and let her do this?"

"Your safety is the priority. If District Seven is the safest place for you, I won't argue with that." Lila said calmly.

Violet gaped at her, the sting of betrayal hitting hard in her chest.

Roman stepped forward, placing himself in front of Nancy. "I'll protect Violet if that's what this is about."

But the sudden proximity triggered a sharp growl from Ezra, his instincts surging to the surface, perceiving Roman's move as a threat

Nancy raised her hand to calm her mate before looking Roman straight in the eye with a sneer. "Oh, really? Big talk for someone who peed on my daughter in wolf form and bullied her every chance he got."

"Oh fuck." Violet breathed, realizing Nancy knew more than she had let on. Someone had told her. She turned accusingly toward her friends, and her gaze locked on Lila. It wouldn't surprise her if the girl had told on her, using the excuse of 'protection' just to get her out of Lunaris.

But before she could speak, Daisy told her quietly. "It was Caroline Lancaster. She had a little mother-to-mother talk with Nancy when you left with the guys earlier." Her voice was heavy with meaning.

Violet's fists clenched. Caroline and Elsie! That mother and daughter duo were really testing her patience. Tomorrow couldn't come fast enough to expose their rotten asses.

Roman blinked, caught off guard by the call-out, but he recovered quickly. "You're right, ma. I was horrible to Violet at the start, which is why…"

Roman dropped to his knees and began kowtowing before
