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.
