Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 433: Talk Things Out

Pine Ridge Lodge sat at the edge of a tranquil mountainous area, characterized by unique pine forests, granite massifs, and limestone formations, where the mist never seems to fully lift.

Aside from the storm summoned by Alaric, the altitude keeps the air cool and crisp, while the narrow road winding up to the property ensures its isolation.

Right now, the others were settled in the main lodge, waiting for Violet to win over her other boyfriend, Alaric.

While Asher and Oscar were deep in conversation, Roman and the Beast were left to "bond".

At that moment, Roman burst out of one of the lodge rooms, finally dressed in pants he had stolen from Alaric’s room. Yes, he had found his room already. Haha, he was quite efficient,, wasn’t he?

"Finally, a semblance of normalcy!" Roman declared, striking a pose as if he were on a fashion runway.

Then he pulled out an oversized pants saying, "I don’t know who left these granny pants, but they should fit!"

He tossed the pants at The Beast, who was lounging on a nearby couch, his huge body dwarfing the furniture. The Beast, however, didn’t even flinch nor bother to catch it. The pants landed on the floor, sliding off his muscular thigh and pooling at his feet.

Roman sighed, shaking his head. "Come on, put them on!"

The Beast grumbled. "No."

"Try again," Roman said, crossing his arms defiantly. "Put them on!"

The Beast growled in response, this time with more force, slamming his massive hand into the wall, causing a crack to spiderweb across the plaster.
