Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 190: Parents Union

Alphas were naturally aggressive and dominant, which was why there was always one Alpha per pack. Having two or more dominant Alphas in the same space for too long was like striking a match in a room filled with gasoline.

For that reason, all the Alphas of the four houses were given separate residences in the palace, lest they tore each other apart in the fight for dominance.

However, a message had been sent out: The Alpha king would see them. Hence, they had to leave their rooms once more for the grand hall. It was not surprising that Henry Nightshade, Alpha of the West pack and Asher’s father, was the first to arrive, considering the man was punctual and disciplined to a fault—a trait he had inculcated into his son who now embodied the no-nonsense nature of the West.

However, Asher Nightshade looked nothing like his father, at least physically. Where Asher was all dark and handsome, Henry had dirty blonde hair and beaded black eyes so dark they resembled the abyss. The man’s features were sharp and austere, lacking warmth and exuding a repulsive aura that could make a child cry if he merely glanced their way.

He was a figure that commanded fear rather than admiration. But just like all Alphas, Henry was tall and strong. His attire was black on black, entirely flawless. The West Alpha was the epitome of organization, showing no ounce of emotion.

They said birds of a feather flocked together, but there was nothing identical between Henry Nightshade and Leon Draven, Alpha of the South and Roman Draven’s father. While Henry was all grim and cold, Leon was sweet and sunshine.

There was no doubt Leon had graciously bestowed his good looks on his son, except his eyes were amber where his son’s were green, inherent to his unique power. Like father, like son, Leon also had
