Being stunned was an understatement; Lila, Daisy, and Ivy simply gawked at Violet like a fool. To think they had been debating how to haul her out of bed and comfort her for the day's trials, never guessing she was already on her feet, preparing for revenge? Wow. That was mind-blowing.
Ivy was the first to speak. "You just said 'enemies,' not 'enemy,' which means more than one…right? I thought Elsie Lancaster was our only enemy. What other enemies do we have? Tell me it's not the cardinal alphas. It can't be them, please."
"Knock it off, Ivy," Daisy snapped. Ivy's fixation on the alphas was clearly getting on her last nerve.
Violet boldly told her. "Yes, you heard correctly. I'm not sparing the cardinal alphas. I plan to punish them all."
Immediately, Lila's eyes shone with pride. "Whatever you decide, Princess, this humble servant stands with you wholeheartedly." The girl looked as if she were a breath away from bowing like a knight and pledging her allegiance.
