Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 631: Not A Monster

As soon as the sisters were within the privacy of their room, Ziva began to rave. "He’s going to search for her. I know how his mind works, he’ll probably keep me in the dark until he needs my help. I need to know what’s going on."

Lauren and Layla exchanged glances, both clearly uncomfortable. At this point, Ziva’s antics were going to get them all in trouble.

Layla shrugged. "Well, whatever you do, leave me out of it. You won’t drag me into whatever suicide plan you’re plotting."

Ziva’s eyes flashed dangerously. "What did you just say?"

"She’s right," Lauren cut in before Layla could push further. "Your obsession with Violet is becoming a problem. No matter how much you hate it, Violet is still our powerful sister and Father will bring her in whether you like it or not."

Ziva froze, speechless for once.

Lauren pressed on. "And while you’re at it, figure out Hannah’s situation before Father finds out what you did."

That was the last straw. The twins clasped each other’s hands and walked out together, not daring to look back. They were done with Ziva’s schemes, her temper, and the mess that always followed her.

Adele nodded slowly, relief spreading across her face.
