Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 826

Chapter 826: Fight For District One

If eyes could kill, the sub-alpha would definitely be dead.

But Elijah’s attention was drawn when Irene said, "But it’s not working, is it?"

"What?" Elijah was confused.

"You said the spell was supposed to attract the zombies like a beacon, yet what about that cluster?" she pointed at the screen.

Elijah stared hard at it, his jaw working, obviously pissed. It was his beta who took it upon himself to explain.

"According to reports, these clusters have been moving for days. Oftentimes, they break up and separate, but they still remain a horde. Not just that, even stragglers seem to be adapting the same pattern. Separate, infect, conquer, and move on."

"Moving to where?" Leon demanded, something close to suspicion sitting in the corners of his eyes.

Christian and Elijah seemed to share a look, as if hesitant to reveal that piece of information. A gesture everyone noticed.

"Moving to where, Christian?" Irene demanded, her ire rising.

"District One," Elijah announced. "That’s where they’re headed."

For a moment, no one spoke, having no idea how to react, or perhaps what to do with that piece of information.

"But District One is a ghetto," Aeron muttered this time, confused.

"Yet it’s also the place with the least protection. No authorities..." Ezra seemed to latch onto something, a new kind of understanding mixed with fear entering his eyes.

"Goddess above," Caspian exclaimed, "We all thought we were dealing with mindless creatures, but these are zombies with a hive system being operated by a genius general. District One is the perfect breeding spot. Their leader intends to build an army."

A chill washed over everyone, and not even Elijah was spared because though he hid it, he was obviously rattled.

An uproar broke out at once with several sub-alphas slamming their palms against the table so hard the sound cracked through the room. Chairs scraped while voices rose over one another in a sudden ugly wave of outrage.

"You planned to keep this from us? So that was your plan?"

Another Alpha barked, half-rising from his seat. "You’d treat us like fools?"

"And what exactly do you and your precious President intend to do about it?" someone else sneered, the mockery in his tone impossible to miss.

Unfortunately, that one was deliberate and whether intentionally or not, its aim to provoke the Alpha king worked.

Something flashed in Elijah’s eyes. He snapped. "I will not take this disrespect from you!"

His Alpha voice ripped through the room with brutal force, thick with command and dominance. It slammed into everyone present like an invisible wall of pressure, heavy and merciless, pressing down on shoulders, throats, and lungs.

Several of the weaker sub-alphas recoiled immediately, their bodies reacting before their pride could catch up. One dropped back into his chair so quickly it nearly tipped. Another lowered his head with a stiff, unwilling submission, jaw clenched as though he hated himself for it. Even some of the stronger wolves went tense, their eyes flashing in instinctive caution.

Because no matter what anyone said behind closed doors, Elijah was still Alpha King recognized by their law and the gods.
