"You're lying," Griffin growled, his voice rough and feral, teetering on the edge of snapping. His animalistic tone sent shivers down Violet's spine.
Violet's entire body went rigid upon recalling that werewolves could tell when one told a lie. They could hear the slightest irregularity in a heartbeat, a telltale sign of deception.
Unfortunately, Violet had no choice. Griffin didn't like her, and he could never know the truth she had learned. This was a dangerous game, but Violet had to make him believe her lie. Fake it until you make it, that was her only strategy right now.
With no other option, Violet suddenly screamed, her voice loud and filled with anguish. "The gods be damned! Why won't you believe me?! Why are you doing this to me?! Is it because I'm a human? Is that why you're bullying me? Why won't you go ask Asher yourself why he's doing this to me? I did not do anything wrong by getting accepted into this school, did I?"
