Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 260: The Goddess Fool

"No, you can’t go in there!" a nurse called out, her voice high with alarm as Adele barged through the double doors of the ward. But Adele didn’t even stop nor flinch, undeterred by the frantic protests

At her side was Asher and the puppeteer turned a fierce glare on the nurse, barking, "Rest your ass."

Immediately, the nurse’s defiance melted like a puppet cut from its strings. Meek and mute, she returned back to wherever she came from, powerless to protest further.

Adele saw the whole thing but said nothing. If anything, it confirmed that she’d made the right choice by bringing Asher along. His ability commanded compliance—and right now, obedience was gold.

They strode down the tiled corridor, the air thick with antiseptic and tension. Adele’s eyes briefly swept over an elite student perched on the bed, chatting with her phone. The girl hastily averted her face, trying to use her hair as a curtain to hide her face.

Classic.

It wasn’t uncommon for students, especially the elites, to hide out here to escape class. The hospital wing was like a safe haven for them. Indeed, it was for humans.

But Adele didn’t care. She wasn’t here for her or any of the others hiding out here. It was Jameson’s business to enforce stricter rules and control her students.

Mary wasn’t hard to find. She made sure of it with the loud, chilling voice echoing across the entire hospital floor:

"Night is coming.

Woe to those that sleep.

Woe to those with eyes but see not.

With mouth, but talk not.

The wheel is turning.

The war waits for no one."

The haunting words struck like a blade dipped in ice, lodging themselves in Adele’s spine. She stepped faster, urged by the frantic need to help the young girl from whatever they were doing to her.
