Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 593: Doomed

The bombers weren't the only surprise Patrick had prepared for them.

The North Packhouse was under siege.

Screams filled the air as commotion broke out in every direction. People ran in blind panic, shoving and

stumbling over one another as they scrambled to escape the heated battle, the metallic tang of blood filling the

air.

The attackers were human, yet their strength rivaled that of the trained werewolf guards. They moved with

unnatural speed, their eyes glazed with a wild, frenzied focus.

"Ignis!" Violet shouted over the noise, realization dawning on her, "They're all strong from the drug!"

Asher had warned her about the drug during his visit to District One, and now every single symptom he'd

described was unfolding before her eyes. Violet watched in horror as the drugged humans rip through the ranks

of the guards like rabid beasts, their confidence shocking, their movements wild and unrelenting.

Griffin's and Alaric’s faces darkened the instant her words registered. Their gazes swept over the battlefield, and

what they saw confirmed their fears. Patrick had unleashed drugged humans as weapons, turning them into his

living tools of destruction.

"You have to warn your father!" Griffin said with urgency.

In the fog of shock, Alaric had nearly forgotten the new connection he’d forged with his pack. It was hardly

surprising considering the link should have been a blessing to celebrate, not a lifeline in a war they weren't

ready for.

He shut his eyes and leaned into it, forcing the signal to reach not just his father but every member of the pack.

The feeling was like a hive mind, the sensation startling, and slightly overwhelming. Yet he pushed the message

through.

"The humans are on Ignis. Don’t try to match their strength, go straight for the kill. They'll burn out when the

drug wears off. Don’t underestimate them. They're strong and unpredictable. Repeat: invaders on Ignis. Kill

quickly."

As soon as Alaric was done with the message, it was as if the humans zeroed in on them. Their heads snapped

up, and the three of them charged at them.

Griffin instinctively shoved Violet behind him. "Stay behind me! I'll protect you—"

But before he could finish, Violet slipped from his shadow, darting straight toward the oncoming threat.

"Damn it, Violet!" Griffin swore under his breath, launching after her, Alaric right on his heels.

For once, it wouldn't have hurt if their mate stayed under his protection. But deep down, Griffin knew better than

to try to clip Violet's wings.

With her momentum, Violet kicked her target squarely in the chest, the force of the blow sending the human

flying several meters back. Around her, Griffin and Alaric engaged their own opponents with brutal attacks.

Her target crouched low, snarling like a wild beast. Violet's brow furrowed in disgust. Just what had Patrick

promised them to make them take that wretched drug and turn themselves into this?

The human lunged at her and though Violet had braced herself, the first punch rattled her to the core, vibrating

through every bone in her body. The strength behind it was terrifying. Dizziness washed over her, and she barely

twisted aside in tto avoid a second strike aimed straight for her skull.

Before the human could attack again, Griffin slammed his fist into the attacker. The impact was devastating —

Violet heard the crack as the man’s body flew through the air and smashed into the side of a nearby building,

leaving a jagged fracture across the wall.

Violet whirled on Griffin, "He's mine!" her eyes flared molten gold, Thalia’s presence burning through her.

As an Alpha, Griffin reacted instinctively to what he sensed was a challenge, his own eyes flashing amber.

But instead of the crushing, intimidating pressure that would normally force submission, what radiated from

Griffin instead was pure, protective instinct. He was still an Alpha, but in this moment, every ounce of his

dominance was focused on protecting his mate.

At once, Thalia mentally sheathed her claws like a tamed kitty, her golden eyes softening. Through Violet's gaze,

she stared at Griffin with pride. Her mate. Her equal.

Griffin's wolf stared right back at her, his mental tail wagging eagerly, desperate to please his mate and reassure

her she was safe.

The fragile moment shattered when Griffin's opponent chose that exact second to strike back.

Without even glancing at him, Griffin snatched the man by the throat mid-lunge, his grip unyielding. In one

brutal motion, Griffin yanked him forward and ripped his head clean off.

Blood sprayed across both of them in a hot crimson arc as the headless body collapsed at Griffin's feet.

Not slowing for even a breath, Griffin turned and hurled the severed head across the battlefield. It sailed like a

stone launched from a catapult and struck Violet's opponent — who had just begun to rise — with bone-cracking

force.

The impact was sickening. The human's skull split with an audible crack, and he dropped to the ground, writhing

as blood poured from the fatal wound.

Wolves were apex predators, and males would go out of their way to impress their females.

So, even though Griffin was obviously showing off, Thalia was damn well impressed.

And Violet? She was being shown very vivid, explicit ways she could thank her mate later.

"Oh, con, you horny beast!" Violet groaned in her head, exasperated. "We're in the middle of a battle!"

"After battle," Thalia replied with absolute confidence, leaving no room for debate.

And just like that, they plunged back into the fight.

But Griffin told Alaric with authority.

"I'll go with him," Violet said firmly.

Griffin’s head snapped toward her, ready to protest, but she cut him off before he could speak.

"My powers might be more suited there than here," she argued, her golden eyes blazing with determination.

Alaric didn’t argue. He knew she wasn’t entirely wrong having seen her powers manifest in unpredictable ways.

Griffin held Alaric’s gaze, his voice low and deadly serious.

"You protect our girl. She comes first."

Alaric nodded with a hardened expression.
