Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 622: Don’t Divorce Her

Elijah’s sudden arrival at the North pack was nothing short of startling. Everyone had expected him to make the trip the next day, so seeing him appear that late at night sent shockwaves through the wolves. Even the guards stationed at the gates straightened instantly, their weariness forgotten despite the disaster that had just befallen them.

Alpha Caspian and Ace were already waiting by the entrance when the black car stopped. The door opened and out stepped Elijah, dressed finely from head to toe, his presence enough to make even the wind hesitate.

Both men bowed their heads. "Your Majesty," Caspian greeted.

Elijah didn’t spare him a glance. "Summon Violet Purple," he said immediately.

The words hit like a whip. Caspian blinked, trying to mask his surprise. Of all things, he hadn’t expected this. After the blood and destruction on their pack, he thought the Alpha King had come to sympathize with them, not chase after his son’s mate. It was disappointing, but he kept his expression calm.

"Of course, Your Majesty," he said, forcing a polite smile. "If you would please follow me to my office while she’s brought to you."

Elijah gave a single nod. "Christian, go with them."

That was all it took to make the air turn heavier. Everyone knew what that meant — the Alpha King didn’t trust them to bring Violet on their own.

"This way, Your Majesty," Caspian said, his voice measured. He turned, leading the way inside.

Their footsteps reverberated through the corridor as they climbed the stairs, the scent of smoke and blood still lingering from the recent attack. Neither man spoke, though behind them, Ace’s throat bobbed nervously. His palms were clammy, and he tried his best not to fidget under the crushing silence.
