Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 430: Threatened By Henry

Asher had escaped his father’s clutches, that much was obvious.

When Henry realized his son was gone, his eyes darkened with fury. Violet recognized that wild look instantly and took a step back. She tapped Griffin from behind. "Run?" she whispered.

"What?" Griffin didn’t seem to have heard her.

"Run!" Violet bolted before anyone could react. Sorry, but ladies first! She wasn’t sticking around to be collateral damage.

Henry roared, "Get them!"

Before the first guard could lunge at them, Griffin drove his fist against his temple, sending the man staggering sideways with a grunt.

The second guard seized Roman in a tight hold from behind. But Roman wasn’t having it. With instinctive finesse, he used the wall as leverage, kicking off it with both feet. His body arched midair in a tight flip over the stunned guard’s head. He slipped out of the grip just in time to land nimbly behind the man.

The guard spun around, but didn’t get the chance to strike because Griffin’s fist was already waiting. It connected with a sickening crack against the guard’s jaw, sending him falling to the ground.

Roman threw his hands in the air, exasperated. "Seriously? I had that handled!"

"You’re welcome," Griffin muttered and was already sprinting down the corridor.

However, to their shock, they saw Violet running towards them with a shriek, "There’s more of them coming!"

"Oh shit!" Griffin cursed beneath his breath. Fighting in a public hospital was really not the best.

"To the stairs!" Roman said, turning at once. Griffin took Violet’s hand and followed after him.

Roman yanked the stairwell door open, his feet barely touching the top step before he halted, his eyes going wide.

"Are you kidding me?!"
