Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 577: The Spy Amongst Them

Alpha Caspian was on a rampage tonight, and right now, Finn—Alaric’s beta—was the next unfortunate soul caught in his wrath.

"So, where were you all this while?"

He interrogated him with a glare so sharp it could cut through bone, his tone carrying the promise of violence if he didn’t like the answer.

Finn swallowed. "I was back at Lunaris Academy."

"Back at Lunaris Academy when Alaric was in danger?" Caspian fired at him.

Finn shifted on his feet uncomfortably. "With all due respect, Alpha Caspian, Alaric has always been a bit of a loner and never wanted me to follow him around. That was his wish."

He rushed to add, "I could count the number of times Alaric has gone off the radar and come back in one piece. Moreover, someone had to be around to put the pack in order."

"Really? Is that so?" Caspian’s voice grew icier. "So you left him alone simply because he commanded you to? Or was it because you enjoyed playing leader at Lunaris, holding the pack together there, rather than being concerned about my son’s welfare?"

"I was concerned, sir!" Finn shouted immediately, panic creeping into his tone. "I did ask about Alaric, and Luna Zara told me everything was fine."

"Your Alpha returned all the way back to the North pack and you didn’t bother following him. Nor did you send even a delta to find out what was happening."

Caspian’s gaze hardened, his words merciless. "To me, this reeks of negligence."
