Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 580

Chapter 580: End Of The North Pack

"I even wrote him a letter!" Finn roared with rage. "I wrote him a fucking letter explaining who I was. Who my mother was!" His chest was heaving now, breath ragged. "The least he could have done was seek her out, apologize, or something. Anything! I don’t know, he could have tried to make it up to me."

Finn let out a harsh, bitter laugh. "But instead, some months later, I get chosen to be Alaric’s beta..." He spat the title like it was filth. "He couldn’t bring himself to apologize, but he had no problem making me serve the very son who’s living the life that should have been fucking mine! Is that how much of a joke I was to him?!" His laughter grew wild, edged with disbelief and pain.

Zara’s face hardened. "So let me get this right, you’re angry because your mother didn’t get an apology?"

Finn shot to his feet, shaking with restrained fury. "I’m angry because you all ruined my mother’s life. You ruined me!"

"Oh please, fucking grow up." Zara rolled her eyes, her tone razor-sharp. "Everybody goes through hard shit in life. The fact your mother let one failed relationship dictate her entire existence? That’s on her, not anyone else. It’s her fucking fault, not mine, not Caspian’s, and certainly not my sons’. If there’s anyone who owes you an apology, it’s your fucking bitch of a mother. Go get it from her!"

Finn went utterly still while she spoke, his face blanching. It was as if he couldn’t believe those words had just come out of her mouth. Then, slowly, his features twisted into rage, only for his face to smooth back into eerie calm.

By the time she finished, his lips formed a chilling smile. "You’re not scared."

"Scared of what?" Zara spat, venom dripping from her words. "Your cowardice? Or the fact that you’ll never amount to anything?"

She scoffed. "For a second there, I was almost scared you were Caspian’s bastard child. But to think you’re here bitching because you’re not the Alpha’s heir? Pathetic."

She tilted her chin, her voice cold as ice. "You’re even more cowardly than my husband,and that’s saying a lot. Now, if you don’t mind, get the hell out of my sight. I need to continue my sleep. I have a council judgment to tackle tomorrow."

For a beat, there was dead silence. Then Finn burst into dark, manic laughter.

"You really are as cold-hearted as your reputation precedes you, Zara Storm," he said, his tone almost admiring. "I really made the right choice coming here."

A sinister laugh escaped his lips again. "Even in the face of death, you’re still playing it cool. I love that. Mad respect." He mock-saluted her.

Contrary to Finn’s words, Zara was scared as hell. But she wasn’t going to cower in front of this boy. If she went down tonight, she’d do so fighting.

"I could have waited until tomorrow to watch the fall of the North pack," Finn began his disturbing confession,"To see you and your precious family die together."

His smile darkened. "But after the way you treated your son’s mate, it kind of triggered something in me. I wanted to see the look on your face as I took the life out of you. I want you to know you were killed by one of those children you so arrogantly look down on. I want to see your blood coat my fingers..." His voice dropped to a hiss. "Would it be red, or black like your cold-blooded heart?"

For the first time, the blood drained from Zara’s face. She had thought this was a foolish boy’s revenge — something she could handle — but this was far bigger than she’d imagined. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
