Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 629: Return My Throne

At that information, Elijah’s eyes widened. "He really said that?"

"Yes, Your Majesty," Christian replied. "Usually, I’d take that as the raving of a madman, but considering what’s happened lately, especially regarding Violet Purple, what if the same thing occurred here? A portal opened and took them?"

"Took them to where?" Elijah fired at him.

"That, I have no idea, Your Majesty. But what if this is all Violet Purple’s doing? We have no idea what she’s capable of. The children are smart, they must have realized you were coming for her, so they vanished," Christian surmised.

Elijah rubbed his jaw thoughtfully. "No, that can’t be it. I might not know my dear niece very well, but the girl’s no coward. And Asher wouldn’t abandon his pack like that. He knows how dangerous it is to leave, especially after that rebellion. Whatever happened, I don’t think the kids had a choice."

He looked up. "Investigate deeper. Check if someone else infiltrated the Pack House during that time. Let’s hope Violet hasn’t fallen into the hands of her father."

Christian’s eyes widened. "Are you saying—" He stopped when the Alpha King gave him a sharp look. The name "Angus" was forbidden here.

Still, something didn’t add up. "If he wanted Violet Purple, why take the Alphas too?" Christian asked carefully.

"Because mates are a package deal," Elijah replied. "You can’t take one without the others losing their minds from the bond. However..." He paused, his tone darkening. "Call it instinct, but I don’t think this is his doing. We’re missing something vital here."

Something clicked in Elijah’s mind. "What about Violet’s mother? Did you find out what kind of creature she is to have given the girl such power?"

Christian hesitated, glancing toward the door to ensure no one was eavesdropping. "About that..." he began carefully. "We do know his existence"—he emphasized the word—"was kept extremely low. So even investigating who he might have had relations with, without mentioning names, is difficult. However, I received information about a healer who supposedly nursed him back to health. The timing fits and all evidence points to her being Violet’s mother. But there’s literally no information about her since his you-know-who-I’m talking-about, lived practically like a ghost."

Elijah had no words to say especially knowing how sensitive the topic of this conversation was. If news got out that Angus was still alive.....he didn’t even want to think about it.

Finally, Elijah made up his mind. "Hire the help of witches."

"Eeh—" Christian’s eyes widened.

"Enquire about Violet Purple’s whereabouts," Elijah ordered, his tone sharp. "No matter the cost."
