Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 572: Elijah’s Intention

"Griffin Hale and Violet Purple are in the North pack," Christian reported to him.

Elijah’s eyes narrowed. "Go on."

"It took a lot of confirming on my side," Christian continued, "but it’s true. Violet is now mated to Alaric Storm. She currently bears three bonds with your heirs."

"Impossible!" Elijah shot to his feet, shocked. "That can’t be."

"I know, Your Majesty," Christian said quickly. "I could hardly believe it myself. But it has been verified. Some members of the pack were present when it happened.

Apparently, Zara Storm opposed Violet and clashed with Alaric over her. I don’t have all the details yet, but from what I’ve gathered, they personally witnessed the mating process, and saw the rune appear on Violet’s body with their own eyes."

Elijah didn’t show even a trace of emotion at the news that his heir and Violet had mated in front of the North pack. No, they could mate in front of the entire world and he wouldn’t so much as blink.

What truly stunned him was the third bond.

A freaking third bond.

No one in the entire history of werewolves had ever possessed three bonds. This wasn’t just rare — it was an abnormality. Where others foolishly called it a blessing, Elijah saw it for what it was: something dangerous. Whether this anomaly would ultimately benefit him or destroy everything he’d built, he couldn’t say yet.

Slowly, Elijah sat back in his seat. His earlier agitation vanished, and was replaced by a calculated calm as he stroked his jaw, deeply in thought. "So Violet Purple is collecting my heirs, one after the other."

"That seems to be the case, Your Majesty," Christian replied carefully.

Elijah’s gaze sharpened. "Have you found anything about her mother? Who is she? What is she?" he emphasized.
