Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 650: Face Of The Rebellion

"How do you know all this?" Alexa asked Micah out of nowhere.

"Excuse me?"

Alexa narrowed her gaze. "You’re here spilling a bunch of things nobody knows about, and we’re all just accepting it in good faith?" She turned to the others.

"What’s the probability he’s not working with this Lila? What are the chances we’re not sitting here with the enemy?"

And this, people, was exactly why he never revealed his identity. For a moment, Micah didn’t answer her, he just gave her a blank look that screamed, Bitch, really?

Except when he turned, he caught the look of suspicion on the others’ faces. Alexa must have noticed it too, because it gave her boldness to continue.

"The children of powerful Alphas are missing, and the only person who suddenly ’knows things’ is a half-demon Oracle who admits to getting information from the underworld and some other sources. Surely, I don’t sound crazy right now." She chuckled awkwardly, though the sound carried an edge.

"I really shouldn’t have come here," Micah muttered under his breath. It was natural that someone would suspect him, and that was exactly why he regretted coming.

Nancy lifted her head and looked him straight in the eyes, "This sudden disappearance, it’s related to Violet, isn’t it?"

Micah looked at her and answered simply, "I hundred percent believe it is."

Nancy studied him, thinking. "There’s something you’re not telling us, isn’t there? Is it about Violet? Or is it something you can’t trust us with?"

Micah replied coolly, "Violet’s secret is hers to tell."

At that, Nancy straightened up, addressing the others. "I trust him."

Murmurs rippled through the room. Some agreed, others clearly didn’t.

Undeterred, Nancy went on, "I know my daughter, Violet, and that girl can hide a secret deeper than the ocean trench. The fact that Micah knows something about her means she should be the one saying so, not him. And I won’t let him say anything that could put my daughter in danger in a room full of people I don’t quite trust yet." Her eyes locked on Alexa when she said it.
