Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 638: The Watchers

Violet Purple had assumed Roman was in the shower and would step out any second.

But even after her orgasm—yes, those screams, and thank you very much, her mates had done a damn good job cleaning her plate—she knew something was very, very wrong.

Roman would never miss an opportunity like this. Never.

This was Roman Draven they were talking about, for moon’s sake—the same guy who could sense her hunger from miles away and show up grinning.

So where the hell was he?

Violet sat up at once, still panting as she asked, "Have you guys seen Roman this morning? Wasn’t he in the bathroom with you?"

Asher’s brows furrowed immediately. "Isn’t he usually taking solace in your bosom?"

Instinctively, Violet looked down. Her breasts were already bare from the entire situation, but there was no sign of Roman anywhere.

Just to be sure, she stood up and stripped completely, scanning herself.

"He’s not here, is he?" Violet said, spinning around slowly so they could confirm she wasn’t hiding a certain sneaky reptile anywhere.

Alaric coughed, his face bright red. "No, he’s not."

He wasn’t the only one affected. There was also the dark, smoldering look in Asher and Griffin’s eyes. For a second, no one breathed.

Then, as if realizing they were all thinking the same sinful thought, their gazes collided, and each of them instantly looked away, pretending to be unbothered while subtly adjusting their trousers.

This was so not the time. Roman, that little fucker seems to be missing, they needed to focus on that.
