Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 754

Chapter 754: Destroy The Wolves

Each of the remaining alphas glanced at one another, tension in their posture. A private meeting with the Alpha King was never delightful and they bet their ass they were going to regret this.

Elijah clasped his hands behind his back, deliberately weighing each of them in turn with those knowing eyes.

"I know you’re curious about this meeting. And you’re right to be uneasy because while the world is distracted by the virus, my concern lies elsewhere.... " he announced, "...With my heirs."

And there it was. The moment they had been dreading

"Have there been any developments," Elijah asked calmly, "regarding the whereabouts of the cardinal alphas?"

His eyes settled squarely on Irene.

"No," Irene answered without hesitation. "There’s been no sign. No trail. Nothing concrete."

Elijah studied her for a long moment. "So not even your priests or seers have spoken of my heirs’ location?"

Irene inhaled slowly. "The last time I consulted Alice, the seer, she told me only this: the boys are safe, and they will return when the time is right."

Elijah’s eyes narrowed. "She did not say where they are."

"No," Irene admitted. "She did not."

Silence pressed in again.

"And you," Elijah said quietly, "do not know where your son is."

Irene’s jaw tightened. "I’ve searched every place Griffin would reasonably go. And if he were able to return, he would have. Griffin would never torment me with silence." Her voice hardened. "That isn’t how I raised him."

Elijah hummed softly. "Mm. Is that so?"

He turned away, pacing once before stopping again. "Unfortunately, the times do not afford us patience. I need my heirs back. Now."

Once more the alphas shared a look, wondering how he was going to make that happen.

"To that end," Elijah said, "I will be employing witches to assist in tracking Patrick Elias Turner."

Heads turned up and stared at Elijah accusingingly. Werewolves and witches had never coexisted peacefully and associating with them was considered taboo at best.

But Elijah continued, unbothered with the looks on their faces, "And tomorrow, I will also ask those same witches to track down my heirs."

Irene stiffened. "Track them how?"

Elijah turned back to them. "with the help of each of your blood."

The reaction was instant.

"No."

"That’s not happening."

"You’ve lost your mind."

Their voices overlapped, filled with anger. Was Elijah kidding them right now?

Elijah raised his hand, his expression hardened. "Are you disobeying me?"

The room went cold.

Irene stepped forward first. "If you believe this demand is just, then make it publicly. Ask for our blood in front of our people, let’s see how that turns out, your majesty."

Leon shook his head. "I’m not a man of faith," he said, "but I believe in the goddess. And I will wait for my son to return when she wills it."

Caspian exhaled. "I would grant you any other request, your majesty. Any. But not this." He turned and walked away without another word.

Ezra didn’t speak at all, he simply shot Elijah a dark, dirty look, then turned and followed the others out of the hall.

Meanwhile...
