"Hi," I said dumbly, my focus entirely on Soren's rapidly swelling cheek.
I couldn't believe Violet had actually, genuinely, slapped Soren with practically all her strength. Violet had, not to my knowledge, ever hit any one of the Alphas before, not even as a joke― let alone hitting them hard enough to actually hurt them!
Usually, her hatred and anger were directed at me, and she tended to favour scheming to hurt me. To think she would slap Soren in the face, especially when she was in the midst of currying favor with them, was unheard of.
My mouth fell open as I continued to gawk, my brain trying to register what I had just seen, compared to what I knew of Violet.
Did I accidentally wake up in an alternate universe after sleeping for three days?
Or maybe this was indeed Violet's clone after all. That would certainly explain why she acted so brashly, and why the triplets — at least Rowan and Soren — seemed to be avoiding her like she was the plague.
