Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473: Unexpected Team Of Two

What the hell was she doing?

Adele asked herself that question for the umpteenth time, gripping the wheel a little tighter. Of all the things she imagined doing tonight, driving to Pine Ridge Lodge with Micah of all people wasn’t on the list.

How did they even end up here?

Well... apparently, Micah claimed Alice the seer had called him out of nowhere and told him to find her. Adele would have called that bullshit but judging from her own experience with Mary, this can’t be games. The timing was just strange.

So here they were speeding on the road, heading straight into whatever fresh problem the cardinal alphas and Violet purple had landed themselves in.

Two rescuers were better than one, she supposed.

Still, the silence in the car was suffocating. It was tense and awkward. And unfortunately for Adele, she found herself glancing at Micah more often than she cared to admit.

This was the first time they’d ever been in such close quarters, and it was messing with her.

Demon-blooded or not, Micah was a glorified flirt with questionable morals and a disturbingly close relationship with nearly all the student body. Yet, sitting beside her now, Adele had to admit—grudgingly—that he was unfairly handsome.

Nope. Not going there.

Trying to distract herself, Adele broke the silence.

"I didn’t know you were close to Alice."

Micah didn’t look at her, just shrugged. "I didn’t know about the woman until today. Trust me. If Violet and the alphas were in danger, why send me to find you? Why not just send me directly to them?"

Adele snorted, eyes on the road. "Beats me."

Silence fell again. Then, out of nowhere, he asked.

"Still spying on the cardinal alphas for my uncle?"

Adele’s jaw ticked. "I was asked to watch over them. Not spy on them."

Micah arched a brow. The kind of look that said really, you want to argue semantics right now?

Adele exhaled deeply. "I don’t do that anymore."

"Oh? What changed?"

She paused, then said quietly, "Your uncle’s not the man I thought he was."

Micah let out a low whistle. "That’s a shocker. Someone who doesn’t worship the ground Elijah walks on. That’s rare."

Adele rolled her eyes. But after a beat, she confessed. "The cardinal alphas, they’re pitiful in a way. They were dragged into a life they didn’t ask for, and given these powers that wasn’t even their choice."

She glanced at him. "I’m their healer, Micah. That’s more than physical wounds. I’m supposed to patch what I can’t even see, heal every aspect of their fragile soul. You can call me their guardian if you want."

That actually silenced him for a while. Long enough that Adele started to fidget again.

"What?" she finally snapped, unable to take the stillness.

Micah shook his head with a faint smirk. "I think I might’ve misjudged you."

Adele blinked. "Wait, you profiled me?"

"Kill the engine," Micah said suddenly. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
