My heart fell into the pits of my stomach when I saw Violet standing at my door. She wore a wicked smile when she realized I had a visitor.
More accurately, a visitor who had broken the Alphas' rules.
Without anyone else present, she hadn't even bothered to keep up with pretenses. Slowly, Violet walked in, and Jessie shot up to her feet. Her face paled in horror. I was sure mine matched as well.
"Well, well, well," Violet said, clicking her tongue as she shook her head. "Look what the cat dragged in. Briar, didn't you know that you're not supposed to have any visitors? I thought the Alphas made that very clear."
"She was just leaving," I said without even turning to look at Jessie. "Weren't you, Jessie?"
"Y-Yes!" she squeaked. "Please excuse me, Luna Violet―"
"Not so fast," Violet said, stopping Jessie in her tracks. "The Alphas made sure everyone in the pack knew that Briar's bedroom was out of bounds. You're not leaving without punishment."
"Violet, she didn't mean to―"
