Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 387: B&B - Betrayal And Bait

"Exactly," the rogue leader said. "I don’t get it. What’s so special about you, little feisty cat?"

Normally, Violet would have spat in his face just to provoke him. But someone out there had paid handsomely for her capture, and she needed to find out who. So, she dialed back the fire, and let her body go still, looking up at him with trembling lashes and tear-glossed eyes.

"I don’t understand," she whispered. "Why would anyone want me? I’ve never done anything to deserve this."

He laughed, a throaty, mocking sound. "Oh no, princess. He doesn’t want you dead."

Her heart dropped. "He?" she echoed, glancing at Griffin, who stared back at her with the same confusion she felt.

Seeing their confusion, the rogue puffed up with pride, delighted to know something they didn’t.

"Yeah. He gave us your location, and I’m guessing he’s some kind of doctor, considering he also gave us drugs strong enough to knock out a cardinal alpha. Anyway, he told us to target the West Alpha, but we got lucky instead. We caught the dumb one. Didn’t even put up a fight." He mocked, glancing at Griffin.

Griffin snarled at him, but the Rogue just laughed.

Violet ignored their confrontation, sucking in the information and locked in. "The doctor, who is he?"

The rogue tutted. "Now, now, love. Client confidentiality." He winked.

Her stomach twisted. Did someone find out about her and wanted to use her for an experiment? No. She needed a plan to get out of here. Quickly.

"What’s your name then?" she asked with curiosity.

The rogue Hazel’s hazel eyes sharpened. To be honest, he was too handsome to be a villain. But evil didn’t care about faces, all it needed was a willing vessel.
