Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 359: Her Big Teddy

Nancy was fine, thankfully. Else today would have been Elsie Lancaster’s last day on earth. Her mother had suffered a few bruises and aches from the impact, and the last time she saw her, Adele was already patching her up.

"Next time, I’m not agreeing to that reckless plan," Asher grumbled. "You should’ve just let me tear her apart."

And yes, Asher was talking about how they’d let Elsie get close enough to harm her.

It had all been Violet’s plan from the start. She had a feeling Elsie would explode after that reveal and try to attack her. And she did. Thanks to that spectacular display, everyone would finally see Elsie for the crazy wolf she truly was.

"But it did work out, didn’t it?" Violet nudged him gently, trying to soothe him, knowing he was still angry.

However, Asher didn’t respond. That tight frown was still on his face, and Violet decided to make it her mission to change that. So she stepped in front of him and began to bother him like a buzzing fly.

"Say it. It worked out, didn’t it? Huh? Huh?" she poked at different spots on his stomach, but apparently, Asher was impervious to tickle attacks. God, was this guy a robot or what?

Still, Violet kept jabbing at random places, determined to get even the tiniest chuckle out of him.

"Stop it, Violet."

Of course, she didn’t. She kept poking, grinning mischievously. Asher must’ve had enough, because he made a grab for her, but she saw it coming and swiftly dodged him, giggling.

"Come here," Asher ordered.

Violet shook her head, stepping back with a playful grin, eyes studying his movements. "Come and get me."

Asher lunged, and she jumped out of the way, only to step on a small stone she hadn’t seen. She tripped and would’ve hit the ground if Asher hadn’t caught her in time.
