Defy The Alpha(s)
Chapter 192
Chapter 192: [Bonus Chapter] Compromise
Alpha Caspian looked utterly dumbfounded. He stuttered, "I—I think you’re mistaken here, your majesty. I believe I mentioned that we were attacked."
Moreover, if there was any Alpha less inclined to violence, it was Caspian—their suspicion should be directed at Henry and Irene, the two war gods of the four regions.
"The North is more invested in technological advancements, not warfare," Caspian continued. "Attacking you the Alpha King.... is preposterous!"
Elijah’s gaze sharpened. "Didn’t you just say your company was attacked, and weapons were stolen?"
"Yes, but by—"
"—Rogues," Irene finished unapologetically. For a woman, she wasn’t scared speaking to Elijah, the Alpha king that way.
And Elijah did notice because his attention was wholly on her as she said, "We already told you this isn’t just an ordinary rogue attack, Alpha Elijah. The rogues are testing our defenses, probing for weaknesses. My patrols are already stretched thin as it is. If this continues, I’ll have no choice but to conscript more pack members into active service."
Leon, Alpha of the South, growled, "I’ve already done so. Except unlike the East, we’re not natural fighters."
"Yes, your people are entertainers, Leon." Elijah’s tone dripped with mockery.
However, Leon looked beyond the mockery and answered. "Morale is crumbling, your majesty. My people question our ability to protect them, and they’re not wrong. We need reinforcements, but your rising taxes—" He clenched his jaw. "—are draining our coffers. How are we supposed to defend our borders when we can barely afford supplies?"
"Perhaps by working harder?" Elijah suggested.
"Work harder?" Alpha Leon scoffed and for the first time since their arrival, every mirth escaped his expression.
He hissed, "While the rogue threat is indeed concerning, I’m more troubled by the drought affecting my territory. Our crops are failing, and livestock are dying. My people are starving. We can’t afford rising taxes when we’re struggling to survive."
