Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 541

Chapter 541: Run With Violet

"Because it wasn’t the first time we’ve fought them. In case you don’t remember, we were the ones to rescue those pack members before any of your people could do anything." Griffin said boldly, letting the insult land clean. "Moreover, they were dressed thoroughly and used sophisticated weapons not even your department could get your hands upon. So instead of questioning us like criminals, you should be thanking us for doing a job your people should have handled already."

Vincent answered flatly, "We are pouring our resources and doing everything we can to find Patrick Vale right now."

"Hmm," Micah spoke for the first time, his voice cool, "I wonder how long that would take? When the heirs are attacked a third time and Patrick finally succeeds?"

"We are handling that." Vincent gritted out.

Roman chuckled. "Someone doesn’t like being investigated."

The glare Vincent sent Roman’s way should have been enough to vaporize him on the spot if he could fire lasers.

"Let the man do his job," Elijah said lazily, as if enjoying the show, but the message had been passed.

Vincent’s voice was tight with annoyance when he asked, "When did you see Henry Nightshade?"

"Toward the end," Griffin answered curtly.

"And?"

"And I don’t know what else you want to hear?"

"Perhaps details of what he looked like? How did he die exactly, without vague answers?"

"I’m sorry, but we were outnumbered and fighting for our lives," Griffin said with biting sarcasm. "So forgive me if my memory isn’t picture-perfect toward the end."

Vincent’s eyes narrowed. "All of your memories aren’t solid toward the end, I see. But thank the goddess Violet was with Henry at that moment, so perhaps I’ll get something real from her now." His tone carried finality.

He flipped to the next page, raising his voice just slightly. "Finally, the famous human among you, Violet Purple."

When Violet lifted her head to meet his gaze, the fears were gone. Griffin had bought her enough time to calm her emotions. Moreover, she could tell from the smug look on Vincent’s face that Vincent considered her the weakest link.

Unfortunately, if there was anything Violet hated, it was being called "weak" because she was far from one. Not to mention, she won’t be the one to drag her men down after their hard work.

"Commander Vincent." Violet said, "Let’s begin now, shall we?"

Vincent’s brow lifted in surprise. That was not the reaction he had been expecting. He expected her to be nervous and quivering in her seat now it was her turn. After all, he had smelt it like a shark locating blood, she was hiding a secret and he’d find out.

Fine, let’s play.

"You were there that night at Pine lodge, weren’t you?"

Violet’s breath didn’t hitch one bit. "Yes, I was."

"How are you alive when most aren’t?" Vincent continued, "It sounds convenient, don’t you think?"
