Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 464

Chapter 464: Please Me

And just like that, the mood was killed.

No one spoke. Not when the moment demanded silence.

Asher’s words had come from a place that was too raw to ignore and too honest to brush off. And once again, Violet felt her heart bleed for him. To imagine the horrors he’d endured at the hands of Henry made her veins pulse with so much fury. One day, Henry would get exactly what he deserved.

Violet had half a mind to stand and hug Asher, to show him something real, and that she was with him.. But before she could so much as move, Roman spoke.

"Oh, you think I have it easy?"

"I don’t think that’s what—" Violet tried to cut in, but Roman wasn’t done.

"If that’s the case, why don’t you try growing up with parents who care more about themselves than their own damn son? Do you know what it feels like to be the screw-up of the Cardinal Alphas?"

"I didn’t say you’re useless," Asher shot back.

Roman snorted bitterly. "You’re the perfect strategist with powers that could mess up the mind of anyone who crosses you. Alaric’s a lightning-wielding genius who probably invent stuff even while asleep. While Griffin is hella strong and mated to Violet."

Griffin raised his hand lazily. "I’m lucky to be mated to Violet, sure. But let’s not act like that’s solved everything. Not everyone is into the whole strong, macho guy," He didn’t have to say her name, they all knew he was talking about Elsie.

Alaric spoke up as well. "My powers get out of control sometimes and I have to wear gloves so I don’t kill anyone by accident. My parents love me for what I can give them, not who I am. So yeah, you can go... oh—" he added immediately, remembering. "And yes, my mother also hates Violet’s ass and is probably planning to marry me off to a distant cousin." He finished, prompting silence as everyone realized how messed up his situation was.

Roman’s shoulders sagged, some of that fight draining from his face. He let out a deep breath. "All I’m saying is,I don’t deserve to be envied. After all, all I can do is turn into some bunch of animals—but we can all pretty much do that with our wolves. Not to mention, I couldn’t even help when Violet was kidnapped. So yeah, it’s pretty much like a slap in the face when you say you want to be me." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Violet took his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "Asher doesn’t mean it as an insult. And like you just heard, no one has it perfect. And who says you’re useless? You are not at all. You have your strengths and your weaknesses, and I like you just the way you are. Matebond or not, you’re mine, Roman Draven." She gazed at them to punctuate her point. "All of you."

For a moment, there was silence as Violet’s words seemed to penetrate into their hearts like Cupid’s arrow.

Then Asher cleared his throat. "Alright. Group therapy over. It’s my damn turn." he said gruffly, snapping everyone out of it.

Asher spun the bottle and it twirled, only to land on... Griffin Hale.
