Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 595

Chapter 595: Energy Rune

Alaric saw, in terrifying clarity, the many ways they could die if the third explosion went off.

With the nitrogen purge system and foam suppression in place, the bomb wouldn’t level the entire packhouse, but they were the ones in danger now.

If that third device detonated, even without a full facility-wide chain reaction, the resulting shockwave would bring the warehouse down on top of them. Iron walkways, heavy racks, and massive pipes could come crashing down. Even supernaturals like werewolves weren’t invincible against being crushed if pinned beneath a multi-ton structure.

And that wasn’t the worst of it.

The wreckage could trap them deep inside, leaving them buried and scrambling for a way out while the toxic fumes crept in. If they couldn’t dig or fight their way free in time, they’d choke to death, suffocated in darkness.

"We have to go now!" Alaric roared, his voice hoarse and raw over the chaos.

But even as he seized Violet’s hand, ready to run, she saw the unsaid truth in his eyes: they weren’t going to make it.

Alice’s words flashed in Violet’s mind — "Trust your instincts."

Up until now, she’d been second-guessing herself, afraid of her own power. But the thought of losing Alaric filled her with a desperate clarity. She couldn’t let it happen.

Before Alaric could react, Violet wrenched her hand free.

"Violet—" His face went pale, his wolf blazing in panic. "What are you doing?"

Violet’s voice was calm even with the impending threat. "You have to leave now. I need to concentrate."

"What are you talking about...?" Alaric started, but his words died on his tongue when he saw it happen.

Dark tendrils erupted from Violet’s hand, slithering across the floor, and shot up the nearest rack, wrapping around it. In the next instant, the heavy steel structure crumbled into dust, vanishing into nothing.

The entire team froze.

Their jaws fell open, shock rippling across their faces. They had just witnessed the impossible. Wasn’t Violet supposed to be human?

But to their credit, they recovered quickly.

So Violet wasn’t human. So what? There was no time to dwell on it.

Violet stared down at her hands, muttering under her breath, "Didn’t think it would work on inanimate objects."

Alaric’s voice cracked like a whip. "This is too much structure, Violet. You’ll never be able to cover it all in time!"

"I know." Her voice was oddly calm. Then her golden eyes flared, glowing with otherworldly light. "That’s why I need to let go."

She turned to the leader of the A-Team, her tone commanding. "Take him out of here."

The man’s jaw tightened. He nodded, resolve hardening in his eyes. With a subtle glance, he gestured for his men to move in.

But Alaric saw it coming and in an instant, lightning crackled across his entire body, his presence radiating Alpha authority.

"I suggest you leave me," he growled, his voice layered with power, "and get the hell out of here."

The men staggered back instinctively, caught between obedience and terror.

"I don’t want to hurt you." Violet told him.
