Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 789

Chapter 789: Her Biological Mother

Nancy screamed, nearly jumping out of her skin when she caught the reflection in the floor-length mirror. It was the faces of the Cardinal Alphas awkwardly crammed together as if trying to fit into the frame at the same time.

"Oh, we don’t need any filter," Roman replied to Griffin. "I wouldn’t mind receiving a tip or two from our very experienced mother-in-law." He grinned shamelessly.

"God, you’re so gross." Alaric grimaced, staring at Roman in open disgust.

While the chitchat continued, Nancy and Ezra stood frozen on the spot, staring at the scene with identical looks of bewilderment.

Then Violet’s voice floated in before her face appeared in the mirror, scolding one very obvious Alpha. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"There are some imaginations I do not need in my head, Roman Draven."

Roman pouted. "Don’t worry. I can learn it alone and demonstrate later if you know what I mean."

"I don’t necessarily need you all talking to them," Asher started, his tone laced with threat.

Roman rolled his eyes.

Then he turned and finally noticed Ezra and Nancy still staring at them like they’d just witnessed a supernatural glitch in reality.

He waved casually. "Hello, Nancy. Ezra."

"Goddess above..." Nancy whispered, shell-shocked.

She tried to step forward, but Ezra immediately grabbed her and shifted her behind him protectively, as if this could somehow be a trap.

Ezra was the one who finally moved. He walked toward the mirror, his face creased with cautious thought. Reaching out carefully, he tapped the surface, half-expecting something dramatic to happen.

Nothing did aside from a faint ripple, like disturbing the surface of water, but the mirror remained solid and still.

He stepped back slowly and stared at the serious face of Asher Nightshade, who seemed to occupy the entire reflection now, patiently waiting for Ezra to recover from his shock.

"Alpha Asher?" Ezra asked carefully. "Is that really you?"

Asher lifted his chin slightly. "It’s really me. And we don’t have time for this. There are many things to discuss."

Nancy gasped at that.

She didn’t care about whatever serious conversation Asher was already planning — that boy was always straight to business. She brushed past Ezra.

"Violet, baby?" she called.

"I’m here, Mom!" Violet shouted, stepping forward until she filled the mirror entirely.

"Goddess, Violet..." Nancy lifted her hand, tracing her daughter’s features even though all she could touch was the cold, hard surface of the glass.

"What is going on? Where did you all go? Do you know how worried I was? I thought—" Her voice broke. She shut her eyes briefly, taking a steadying breath before opening them again. "I thought something had happened to you."

Nancy breathed shakily. "The only comfort I had was knowing you were with the alphas. But even then, what if that wasn’t enough? I’ve been anxious ever since."

"I’m so sorry, Nancy. I honestly didn’t mean to scare you like that. Everything happened so quickly, and then there was so much going on here, there wasn’t—"

"Here?" Nancy cut her off immediately.

Her eyes narrowed. "Where is ’here’? Where are you, Violet?"

Violet hesitated, glancing to the side as if silently consulting the others about how much she should reveal.
