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 cto 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 followto 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.

He knew the truth. Violet was gone. But they didn’t know that yet, and he was terrified of what would happen

once they did.

They arrived not long after and he waited outside as his father and Alpha king went in.

"My apologies," Caspian said quickly, stepping forward to tidy the desk. "There's been little tto put things in

order after the incident. If I'd known you were coming, I'd have made proper arrangements." He gave an

awkward laugh that didn’t quite reach his eyes. "Perhaps if I'd been given a heads-up..." He trailed off, realizing

how that sounded.

Elijah said nothing. Instead, he reached into his coat, pulled out a white handkerchief, and brushed the dust off

the nearest sofa before sitting down. His movements were slow, almost a reminder that he didn’t owe anyone an

explanation.

He crossed his legs. "Send word when she’s here," he said coolly.

Caspian nodded, forcing composure, though the back of his neck prickled with sweat.

The King had cfor Violet, and Caspian knew that nothing good could cout of his sudden interest in

Alaric’s mate. It had to be connected to the attack. Up until now, everyone had believed the girl was human,

until she exposed herself to save them. That had to be why Elijah was here.

Caspian could only hope the King didn’t do anything reckless. He might have failed Alaric in other areas, but he

would sooner lay down his life than let harm cto his son’s mate. No matter what Violet truly was, a mate

was sacred. And she had to be spared.

Elijah continued. "Secondly, I'm here to extend my condolences to the families of the fallen. What happened to

the North pack is unfortunate."

Caspian’s jaw tightened. The word unfortunate felt like an insult. "It’s my fault," he said. "If | had taken my duties

more seriously, this wouldn't have happened. | should have seen it coming."

"Yes," Elijah said bluntly, "it is your fault."

Caspian’s head snapped up, stunned. "What?"

Elijah went on. "Patrick tested your defenses over and over, and you did nothing. You let his influence grow right

under your nose, feeding on your weakness. Now look at the cost."

Caspian slammed his palm against the desk. "And who brought Patrick into our midst in the first place?" he

barked, his voice shaking with anger. "Tellthat, Your Majesty!"

Elijah growled low, a dangerous sound that made the air vibrate. The temperature in the room seemed to drop

as both men stared each other down.

Then Caspian exhaled, realizing he’d crossed a line. He turned his gaze away, fists clenched. Elijah, too, drew in

a steadying breath, his shoulders loosening.

When he spoke again, his voice was composed but carried steel. "It won't happen again. Patrick will be brought

to justice. My men are already scouring every district as we speak. He won't get far. The son of a bastard will be

caught and dealt with accordingly."

Caspian gave a small nod, though the bitterness in his eyes remained.

The offer was generous, but that wouldn't bring back the people he lost. He bowed his head slightly. "We

appreciate your help, Your Majesty."

Elijah studied him for a moment, then said, "I heard you intend to divorce your wife."

The question cso suddenly that Caspian blinked. "Yes," he answered. "I certainly can’t live with a woman

who tried to harm our son."

"Don’t divorce her."

Caspian’s head snapped up, disbelief cutting across his face. "Excuse me?"

Caspian’s lips parted, but no words cout. The idea of keeping that woman near him again made his stomach

twist, yet the King’s gaze left no room for argument.
