Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408: East Custom

The first time they arrived at the East pack house, Violet hadn’t taken the time to look around. It was late, she was tired, and everything had been a blur. But now, standing in broad daylight, the place left her dumbfounded.

It wasn’t just a house. It was a freaking mansion built across several hectares of land, with winding stone paths, wide verandas, and forested groves surrounding the main building. Griffin had told her earlier that it wasn’t just his family living here, but some members of the pack too. A communal style of living, still practiced by some werewolf clans.

And that was how Violet ended up lounging in the pool area with Griffin’s family.

Griffin, in his ever-resourceful fashion, had found her a fitted swimsuit—God knows where from—and she hadn’t questioned it.

Violet and Kaia were reclining side by side on long, cushioned sun loungers, soaking in the warm rays, while Griffin’s younger twin sisters, Vivain and Blaire, fussed over her like she was a life-sized doll.

They were performing some kind of skincare treatment on her. Violet had willingly let herself be their experiment. The girls were lovely, so why not?

She was relaxed, half-listening to the banter between the twins, until she felt something cold and wet spread across her skin.

Violet tried to lift the cucumber slices off her eyes but Vivain slapped her hand away, followed by a soft, muffled giggle.

Something wasn’t right.

"What are you rubbing on me right now?" Violet asked warily.

Blaire answered with the utmost seriousness. "A homemade mud skincare formula developed by me and Vivian."

"Oh," Violet muttered, both impressed and suspicious. Nah, she’d trust the girls. They wouldn’t do anything to her.

The twins continued to smear it across her face. The mixture was cool and had a strange, herbal scent. Her nose twitched. "What’s in this, exactly?"

Vivian listed proudly, "Neem leaves, rose water, turmeric, ground aloe, goat milk, and dried chamomile petals."

Violet was just beginning to relax again when Blaire added casually, "And cow dung."

"What?" her entire body went stiff.

"Do you know that cow dung is packed with antiseptic and exfoliating properties," Blaire continued calmly. "That’s why it’s the key ingredient in our recipe."

Vivain, ever the mischief-maker, kept spreading the paste on her cheek, grinning. "You’re going to be the most beautiful bride at the Cnáimhseáil Anama tonight."

That was it.

Violet yanked the cucumbers from her face and bolted upright. "Griffin!" She took off screaming, her feet slapping against the pool deck.

Griffin, who had been in the pool with Callen, heard her and rushed out, water dripping down his chest. "I’m here, Violet!"

She rushed into his arms, wiping furiously at her face. "Your sisters put cow dung on my face! Can you believe that? Freaking cow dung!"

But instead of helping, Griffin was busy stifling his laughter.

"Are you kidding me right now?" she snapped.

Oh, he couldn’t hold it any longer. The laugh burst out from his throat. "God, you should see the look on your face."

Right on cue, Vivain appeared and flashed a camera in Violet’s face. "This one’s staying for the record," she giggled.

Violet stared, dumbfounded. What the hell was going on right now?

Griffin finally put her out of her misery. "There was no cow dung in that. Congratulations, you’ve just been successfully pranked by the twins."

"What?!" Violet turned slowly toward the girls, who were laughing their heads off.

"Oh, I’m going to kill you once I get my hands on you." She looked scary as she walked towards them..

The twins screamed and took off, still laughing while Violet gave chase.

Left with no choice, the girls ran straight to the pool and jumped in, one after the other.
