Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 395

Chapter 395: Goodbye Lila

Asher and the others had long gone off the road and were now trudging through a forest thicker than any of them expected.

It was late at night, and thank the moon they had their wolf sight else they’d have tripped over every gnarled root and gotten whipped by every low-hanging branch clawing at them from all directions.

The rogues had hidden themselves well which wasn’t surprising. Lone wolves were always on the move, always adapting, and no one survived as long as they had without learning how to vanish in plain sight.

The trail should have faded hours ago, but Asher had to admit he was impressed. The Fae was moving ahead with the kind of confidence that came from instinct, not guesswork, leading them unerringly through the maze of undergrowth.

But not even the tension of the unknown, or the unsaid dread in the air, was enough to kill Roman’s vibe. The South Alpha was belting out loud, cheery, dramatic rhymes like they were headed on a family vacation, and not a rescue mission in rogue territory.

"Four wolves with teeth so white,

Snuck through the woods in the dead of night.

On a quest so bold, with hearts all sour,

To fetch back our stolen purple flower."

Asher, Alaric, and Adele exchanged a look and moved on. No, they wouldn’t say a word. It was always safer to just let Roman be Roman.

"There was Thunder Boy who summons the clouds,

And Lover Boy who broods in crowds.

Then Smiley Wolf with jokes so cute—

(That’s me, hello, you’re welcome, chum!)"

"God, this is killing me." Alaric groaned internally.
