Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 426

Chapter 426: The Truth Game

Not just the teachers, but other staff members of Lunaris Academy resided in the faculty housing aside from Micah and Principal Jameson.

Micah was no ordinary counselor; he was still royalty, and that respect had to be paid to him even though he wouldn’t be Alpha king. So, he had an entire bungalow all to himself where he could conduct his "business" without interference.

The inside, of course, was spacious, luxurious, and refined. It was outfitted with dark leather, floor-to-ceiling curtains, and a plush sofa. Griffin and Violet settled down while Micah echoed from the corner, ruffling through the fridge. "Care for a beer?"

"No, thank you!" Violet answered before Griffin could say a word.

"We are going to see Asher tomorrow, remember?" Violet reminded him, her brows lifted.

If there was anything Griffin wanted, it was a drink, and there was no way in hell they were getting wasted tonight. Their minds needed to be sharp, and they had to be fit on their feet tomorrow.

"Juices would be good, thank you."

"Such a buzzkill," Micah muttered with obvious disappointment.

Moments later, Micah returned with a tray and placed a glass in front of Violet.

"Strawberry juice? Really? What am I, ten?" she wrinkled her nose.

"Only for my little sister." He patted her on the head, only for Griffin to let out a low growl, his warning clear: Get his hand off her.

Micah took his hand off, but his intense gaze and the way his lips tightened showed just how much he thought about Griffin.

With a smile that didn’t touch his eyes, Micah said in a mockingly sweet voice, "Your mate doesn’t want you drinking, and you’re not ten. Make do with this, Alpha." He placed a glass of water in front of Griffin with a dull thud.

Griffin saw it and snorted. Was he seriously kidding him?

Notwithstanding, he still took the water and chugged it down. Then he placed the empty glass on the tray and said in an equally taunting tone, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Micah’s eyes twitched before narrowing, the tension between them rising again. Even before his identity as the oracle was revealed, Micah and the alphas were not exactly enemies, but they were not friends either.

After all, one of the heirs would be Alpha king in the future, a position that should have been his had his mad father not diluted his blood with that demonic contact. He didn’t loathe them exactly; such was his fate. They just never got in each other’s way.

"Can we just not do this right now? This is not what I came for," Violet said in a weary voice.

That seemed to bring them back to their senses at once. Micah straightened up and left with the tray.

As soon as Micah was gone, Griffin leaned in and whispered, "I get he’s your brother, but don’t trust him. Demons are deceitful."

Violet turned to Griffin with a frown and said, "And Fae are tricksters. I thought you’d be one not to judge people because of their nature." She took a deep breath. "Nonetheless, I’ll be careful. I didn’t tell him I’m a princess, did I?"

"Fair point," Griffin said, relaxing as if nothing had happened just as Micah returned.

He had a bottle of beer in his hand and intentionally drank from it right before he plopped down on his sofa. "Let’s get this conversation started."

Griffin’s jaw hardened, seeing through Micah’s tactics. He was riling him on purpose.

Violet asked him, "Did you know Angus was alive from the very beginning?"
