Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 74: Just Like Roman

However beautiful the scene may have seemed — at least to Alaric — the moment of passion had reached a dangerous precipice.

Violet and Roman, completely overtaken by their desires, were preparing to cross the line.

Violet’s fingers were already working feverishly at Roman’s belt, while Roman tore his shirt off, his muscles taut with need.

The gods help them! Where the hell was Asher, and why was he taking so damn long?

"D-don’t do this...." Alaric managed to groan, his voice strained as he dragged his body across the ground, struggling against the venom coursing through his system. But his plea fell on deaf ears. Roman and Violet were too far gone, consumed by the fire that burned between them.

Violet had just succeeded in slipping Roman’s belt free, her hands moving to tug down his zipper when the door suddenly burst open. All heads turned toward the sound, and for a fleeting moment, Alaric dared to hope it was Asher. But instead, it was Griffin, standing in the doorway with a stunned, almost dumbfounded expression.

"Stop him!" Alaric commanded, his voice cracking but firm.

Griffin didn’t need further clarification. He knew exactly who Alaric was referring to. The bond between the two cardinal alphas had always been rooted in a shared disdain for Roman’s more reckless tendencies. Closing the door behind him with a deliberate motion, Griffin stepped into the room, his movements slow and calculated.
