"He's going to come after me," Violet whispered to herself with dread. Her friends heard her, their expressions shifting to one of concern.
"What do you mean by that?" Lila asked, alarmed.
Violet clenched her fists. "This is my one chance to leave the West House, but Asher won't let that happen. He'll focus all his resources on capturing me."
"Alaric won't stay still either way," Daisy countered. "You're his girlfriend. This is his chance to keep you close. It'll turn into a fight over you, and I have no doubt Griffin and Roman will back their respective friends."
"Wait a minute," Ivy interjected, a spark of realization in her eyes. "If they all fight over you, doesn't that mean it'll give us enough time to escape? What happens if we actually manage to escape without getting caught?"
No one had an answer, and Ivy, never one to hesitate, raised her voice, addressing the Alphas directly. "What happens if we escape successfully? Do we still have to return to our old house?"
