Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 401: Secret Of Their Birth

This was certainly not the way Violet planned to reunite with her now-inevitable mother-in-law.

Why did this always happen with Irene?

To make it worse, Griffin came inside her with a deep, animalistic grunt right there, in front of his mother.

Yeah. Caught in 4K.

She was never going to recover from this.

Violet eased herself off Griffin’s body on unsteady legs, her thighs trembling. He caught her, hands firm around her waist to keep her from falling.

Violet swallowed, forcing herself to meet Irene’s stare.

The woman hadn’t moved, she was still rooted in place, stunned. Her gaze raked over them, over Violet’s very naked body, taking in the unapologetic aftermath of what they’d just done.

Violet was embarrassed, no doubt about that. But oddly enough, she didn’t sense any mockery, disgust or judgment radiating off the woman.

If anything, Irene’s expression was unreadable. She wasn’t even looking at her anymore, her eyes locked on her son with an emotion Violet couldn’t quite place.

And then, slowly, Irene began to move and stopped directly in front of them. She was still staring at Griffin with her

mouth slightly parted, and her face caught between disbelief and wonder.

Violet was confused at first until she turned to Griffin and realised what was going on.

They were mindlinking.

She could see it in his unfocused stare, and the way they stared intensely at each other without saying a thing.

Then suddenly Irene broke free.
