Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 654

Chapter 654: Not In Heaven

"Fine..." Elsie smirked wickedly, savoring Daisy’s defiance. "Duck her again."

"No—wait!" Daisy shouted.

Elsie raised a brow, amused. "Oh? You ready to talk now?"

"Yes—yes... just let me—let me catch my breath..." Daisy coughed violently, chest heaving.

Elsie’s expression hardened. "I see what you’re doing. You’re stalling."

"I’m not..." Daisy rasped. "There’s just too much water in my lungs..." another coughing fit shook her.

Elsie rolled her eyes, impatient. "Throw her back in."

"No, don’t—Violet’s not here!" Daisy blurted in desperation.

Elsie leaned down until they were eye-to-eye, her face twisted with vindictive satisfaction. "Exactly. Then where is she?"

"In a place far away," Daisy whispered hoarsely. "I can’t tell you. I’ve been spelled not to. You have to believe me."

"Bullshit," Elsie laughed. "You think I’m stupid because you and your little squad embarrassed me last time. Not happening again." She flicked her fingers. "Do it."

"No—don’t—!" Daisy’s protest drowned in a rush of water as her head was shoved under. Bubbles stemmed around her as she screamed into the pool, inhaling more water.

A loud bang slammed against the door.

Elsie’s head snapped toward it, eyes widening. "Shit. Help is here, and she hasn’t told me anything yet!"

The two girls froze, exchanging fearful looks. They did not sign up for a murder charge. They hoped Elsie knew what she was doing.

"Pull her up!" Elsie barked.

They dragged Daisy above water. She surfaced with a violent gasp, coughing, eyes red and burning.

"Where did Violet and Lila go?!" Elsie yelled, desperate now.

"I CAN’T tell you! How many times do I have to say it to get it into your dense skull?!" Daisy screamed back.

Elsie flinched, startled by the fire in Daisy’s voice. The nerve. The audacity.

Of course, she didn’t believe Daisy was spelled into silence. In Elsie’s mind, Daisy was just testing her patience. And to Elsie, stubbornness was a challenge. A dare.

"Fine," Elsie hissed, her voice low and chilling. "You want to drown? I’ll help you drown."

She snapped at her minions, "Put her back in, and don’t let her up."

"What?!" the girls cried, horrified. Even they weren’t expecting that. Didn’t that mean Elsie practically wanted the girl to drown?

When neither moved, Elsie snarled, "Fine. I’ll do it myself."

Daisy’s eyes widened. "Don’t let her—!"

Elsie shoved her head under. Daisy’s scream turned into a stream of bubbles as her legs thrashed helplessly.

The two girls panicked as the pounding on the door intensified. Whoever was out there would break it down pretty soon.
