"There you are!" Someone suddenly jumped in front of her, startling Violet out of her thoughts.
"Ahh!" Violet screamed, instinctively landing a punch on the person's face, only to realize it was Lila.
Lila yelped in pain while Violet's expression shifted to horror as she recognized her friend. She hadn't meant to hit her, but years of always keeping her guard up had conditioned her to react this way.
Violet rushed forward, hysterically checking on Lila.
"I'm okay, I'm okay," Lila insisted, trying to calm her down. "See? No damage." She attempted a smile, but her face scrunched up in pain. "But damn, that was a mean hook."
With a deep breath, Violet slowly calmed her racing heart. But almost immediately after, her expression twisted in anger.
"What the hell is wrong with you?! Why would you jump in front of someone like that? Are you asking for death or something?" she shouted.
Hi everyone!
In case you received the notification, the Most Popular Character Selection competition is back! Exciting news, our beloved character, Violet Purple, has made it onto the list! The competition is divided into four stages, and for the first stage, Violet needs to secure a spot in the top 16.
Please help Violet maintain her position and aim for victory by voting with points or coins on the Defy The Alphas book details page or directly on the contest activity page. Both will count toward her progress.
As a special thank-you, if we win this competition, I'll release five bonus chapters (in addition to the upcoming release on the 11th. Yes, the secret's out now!).
Thank you so much for your incredible support! Let's make this happen!
