Chapter 520: The Alpha King’s Welcome

"Can someone shut him up, please?" Aeron finally spoke, his voice a growl as he pressed harder on the accelerator, putting more distance between them and Christian’s trailing car.

And that was the crack Griffin had been waiting for. His unflappable father, the man who could face down enemies without blinking, finally snapped under the one force of chaos no wolf alive could handle: Roman Draven. Even Asher couldn’t stomach him for long, and that said everything.

Roman, of course, looked positively delighted at the outburst. "As you wish, Dad Deluxe."

Through the rear-view mirror, Aeron gave him a stare like he was trying to decide if Roman was a wolf or some new species of pestilence. Griffin hid the grin tugging at his lips, while Violet prayed they survived the car ride before Roman got them killed with his mouth.

Thankfully, Roman went quiet after that, and Aeron seized the chance to speak seriously.

"Now listen up," he said, voice sharp. "As far as anyone’s concerned, Alpha Henry died in the explosion set off by Patrick Vale. Are we clear?"

"Clear as day," Griffin answered without hesitation.

"Yes, Aeron," Violet answered.

"Yes, Dad," Roman added smugly.

Aeron cut him another look but let it slide.

After a beat, he asked again, slower this time. "Is there anything else I need to know?"

The way Griffin and Violet’s eyes snapped to Roman in unison was almost comical. It was almost like a silent firing squad warning him to keep his mouth shut. If Aeron had nearly wrecked the car over mashed-potato Henry, God only knew what would happen if Roman blurted out that Violet was half Fae, half werewolf. Definitely not a roadside conversation.

"Nothing, sire," Roman said at last, for once behaving.

Aeron lifted a brow at Roman’s answer. For a man desperate to silence Roman, he sure looked like he had an appetite for more gossip.

"What’s the situation at hand?" Griffin asked his father.

Aeron told him. "Your mother is waiting for us at Elijah’s residence. Apparently, everyone is waiting to hear you guys part of the story."

Roman perked up instantly at the news. "Is my father there too?" he asked with curiosity.

"Yes," Aeron confirmed, eyes fixed on the road. For a moment he said nothing else, then he added, "You have nothing to worry about. Your mother and I have everything in control. On the bright side, we won’t have to spend much time with him, anyway. Everyone’s headed down to the West pack for Alpha Henry’s burial."

The trio stared at each other, a thought passing between them. This was a good thing. With everyone headed down to the West pack, they’d finally be reunited with Asher. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Aeron suddenly said to Violet, "When we arrive, make sure either Griffin or Roman is always with you. Don’t ever stay alone with Alpha Elijah no matter the circumstance."
