Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 906

Chapter 906: Divine Judgement

Seraphira and Angus were like two magnets drawn toward one another, unable to resist the pull between them. Angus stopped right in front of her and for a moment neither of them spoke. They simply stared at each other, unsure of what to do.

It had been years. The last time Angus had reached out to her through the dream, Seraphira had not exactly been pleased to see him.

Then, to Angus’s surprise, Seraphira lifted a hand and gently cupped his cheek. Angus leaned into the touch immediately. His eyes fluttered shut.

For a brief second, he looked less like a tyrant and more like a man who had finally found something he had spent years searching for.

"Oh no, we’re doomed," Alaric groaned into his palm.

It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in Violet, but this was Seraphira. The freaking Fae Queen.

She possessed centuries of experience, and terrifying power. Combined with Angus and whatever abomination of magic he had turned himself into, they would be nearly impossible to stop.

Angry tears gathered in Violet’s eyes. Sure, she understood the pull of a mate bond. She had her own mates after all. But Angus was a monster.

If one of her mates ever became a threat to innocent people, it would destroy her, but she would still do what was necessary.

Her mother apparently disagreed. Because right now, Seraphira looked exactly like a woman who had gotten her mate back.

In the end, she would always choose Angus.

"I missed you," Angus whispered, meaning every word.

He turned his face slightly, pressing further into her palm, afraid she might disappear if he let go. He closed his eyes and inhaled her familiar floral scent greedily, committing it to memory. For years he had dreamed of this moment. Had imagined having her beside him again. Now she was finally here.

Yet Seraphira’s expression remained unreadable.

"Is that why you’re hurting our daughter?"

Angus’s eyes opened. His gaze flickered toward Violet’s angry expression before returning to Seraphira.

"I was only teaching her a lesson," he said dismissively. "But now that you’re here, I’m sure she’ll be on her best behavior."

That piece of shit. Violet nearly launched herself at him, only for Asher to grab her arm.

"Wait." His expression was deadly serious.

So Violet did. Barely.

Angus, meanwhile, seemed oblivious to the danger. He was staring at Seraphira with the expression of a man seeing his future unfold before him.

"You know," he said softly, still holding onto her hand, "now that you’re here, we can finally be a family."

His smile widened.

"I achieved my dream. I’ll become the most powerful Alpha in existence. You’ll stand beside me as my queen. Violet will be our heir." His eyes gleamed. "It’ll be exactly how we imagined it all those years ago."

Seraphira remained completely unmoved.

"Is that why you think I’m here?"

Angus paused, the certainty on his face faltering. For the first time, it occurred to him that perhaps they were not imagining the same future.

"And have you forgotten something?" Seraphira suddenly laughed, except the sound held no warmth.

"I’m already a queen."

Angus’s expression changed immediately. He released her hand slowly, the realization having sunk in. They were not on the same side.

Seraphira straightened confidently while the atmosphere rippled with power. Gone was his foolish mate. Standing before Angus now was the Queen of the Fae.
