Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 623: Fight For His Son

The room fell silent, the tension thick enough to choke on. Caspian felt a great anger swell inside him, and for the first time, he wanted to defy Elijah’s orders.

Then, without warning, the door burst open and Christian stepped in, looking flustered. "Your Majesty," he said breathlessly, "we can’t find Violet Purple."

"What?" Elijah thought he had heard wrong. Then, almost immediately, his cold gaze shifted to Caspian.

Caspian saw that look and went pale. He already knew what the Alpha King was thinking.

"I don’t know where she is," he denied quickly, agitation flickering in his eyes.

Christian added quickly, "Not just her, Your Majesty, both Alaric Storm and Griffin Hale are missing as well."

The light in Elijah’s eyes turned glacial. A muscle ticked in his jaw as he slowly rose to his feet, his dark Alpha aura filling the room.

"What did you just say?" His voice came out cold and lethal.

Even Christian swallowed hard. "I—I can’t find any of the boys, not to mention Violet Purple."

Elijah turned to Caspian. The older Alpha tried to stand tall, but cold sweat rolled down his temples.

"Where are they?" Elijah demanded.

"Are you suggesting I hid them, Your Majesty?" Caspian shot back, meeting his gaze. "Even ten years ago, when you demanded my son be handed over to Patrick for testing, my wife and I obeyed without question. So why would I withhold him from you now?"
