Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 776

Chapter 776: Take Her To His Domain

"Hey," Micah breathed as soon as Adele stepped out of the ward. She looked as pale as hell, enough that he reached out quickly and steadied her when she stumbled.

"What’s going on? Are you alright?" There was nothing but worry in his eyes.

Adele nodded, then let out a deep breath. "She simply took a lot from me."

Micah didn’t need further explanation. Adele’s power was more on the giving side. In the past, he hadn’t thought much about it—he never gave much thought to others—but now they were mated, her wellbeing was his utmost concern, and it pissed him off how she had to suffer just to make someone else feel better.

So he guided her to the bench right outside the room and helped her sit. Micah sat beside her, his discerning eyes studying her. "How is she?"

"Barely alive," Adele breathed. "While I was treating her, I found other injuries, and I can’t tell if they further complicated things, but the girl is lucky to be alive. If I had been even a minute late, we would have lost her."

Micah grimaced as the events of the night replayed in his mind. No matter how he looked at it, he had fucked up.

He should have given Abel more warning than simply telling him to check on Roman’s room.

How was he supposed to know the vision would align so perfectly with their timing?

How was anyone supposed to predict that?

Moreover, he had been on his way as backup in case things weren’t what they seemed.

Not to mention, he hadn’t expected Abel to go alone. Even then, couldn’t he have alerted the others through the packlink when he noticed the situation? But no—he had to fight witches and prove he was a capable Beta.

Excuses. Excuses. Micah knew. No wonder he felt shitty as hell.

Thankfully, aside from a few broken bones that would heal with time, Abel was good to go.

The same just couldn’t be said for the little witchy.

Adele continued, "The girl is in a coma. We’ll have to wait for her to wake up to tell us what the hell she was doing here. But can you imagine? A witch at Lunaris?"

She threw her hands up, giving Micah an incredulous look. "I get returning to the academy and finding it warded. But zombies? And now witches breaking into Lunaris?" She shook her head in disbelief. "I can assure you, the world is going crazy right now."

She leaned back against the wall, still reeling.

Then she looked at Micah and caught that look on his face—the one that told her he knew more than he was letting on.

Adele’s demeanor shifted instantly. Her eyes narrowed. "What are you not telling me, Micah?"

She watched his body tense, the way he pressed his lips together, eyes pleading in that innocent way she was getting used to.

"Hell no," Adele said flatly. "Out with it, the great Oracle."

And yes, discovering that her mate was the great gossip diva was a reality no one had ever prepared her for. Not that Adele judged him—but if anyone had told her beforehand, she would have laughed in their face.

The irony was almost impressive.

All this time, the entire school had been led to believe the Oracle was some mysterious, gossip-hungry female student lurking in the shadows.

Meanwhile, it was the charming, playboy counselor who had been quietly setting the school on fire with his articles—collecting secrets, exposing scandals, and watching the chaos unfold from behind his desk with a polite smile.

If anything, Micah had played them all beautifully.

Thankfully—mercifully—he had never turned his pen on her. Because if he had, she would have made sure his next article was written somewhere very quiet—preferably the underworld—with only his ancestors and the gods as his audience. Surely someone down there would appreciate his humor.

Micah worked his jaw as soon as he saw the determination in her eyes. He told her, "It’s a very dangerous secret, Adele."

"And I haven’t been dragged into dangerous situations since the last month?" she challenged him, her arms folded across her chest.
