Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174: Another Chase

Unlike the first time Roman had carried her, Violet was tense now and it wasn’t just because they were about to descend from the tree house.

After their heated exchange, Violet no longer trusted him. He was not who she had thought he was. Roman Draven was nothing but a fox who seem to be enjoying this power play far too much.

But before she could overthink it, Roman moved, except he didn’t take the way down as she expected. No, the fucking bastard leaped from the tree house.

The scream lodged in Violet’s throat as they plummeted toward the ground, her heart lurching violently while her arms tightened around him instinctively.

He was going to get them killed!

That was all Violet could think as the air rushed past her ears, and for a split second, panic overtook her senses.

But in a blink of an eye, it was over. Roman landed with ease as if he had merely stepped off a curb rather than free-falling from a height that would have broken some bones in her body.

The Alpha was unshaken unlike Violet, she felt like she had just lived through an out-of-body experience.

She inhaled sharply, realizing only then that she had been holding her breath. Her pulse thundered in her ears as she turned her head to look at Roman, expecting some indication that the jump had at least rattled him.

But no, there was only a self-satisfied gleam in his glowing green eyes.

Cocky bastard.

Even after dropping from such a dangerous height, he stood perfectly upright, not even winded in the slightest. Or limping.

God, these creatures were scary.

Violet swallowed, her grip still locked around his neck before she realized he was waiting for her to let go.

"You can hold on a little longer if you like, sweetheart. I know you just want a feel of this body." He said shamelessly.

Violet scowled and shoved herself away from him, nearly stumbling in the process before regaining her footing. Perhaps in the past, his teasing would have cracked her up, but now, all she felt towards him was loathing.

Roman stretched his shoulders, saying, "That was fun, wasn’t it?"

But Violet leveled him with a glare, her voice flat. "Drop me like that again, and I’ll make sure you never have fun again." _{freёweɓnovel.com}

Roman shuddered dramatically, his voice thick with mock terror. "That was violent, little Violet."

Instead, Roman lifted his head slightly, then gestured toward his back with a jerk of his snout. The invitation was clear. He wanted her to get on.
