Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 860

Chapter 860: The Bond Is Complete

"Welcome back, son."

Griffin opened his eyes, surprised to see his mother and father hovering over him with concern that slowly eased into pure relief. That was when he looked around and realized he was lying on a bed.

A bed?

How did he get here? The last thing he remembered, he had been with the others in the meeting room, making plans on how they were going to kill Angus.

"What happened?" he asked, confusion lacing his voice as he pushed himself up on his arms.

Aeron and Irene shared a look before his father answered. "We were talking when you suddenly clutched your chest and cried out in pain. Then you fainted. Not just you—Roman too. We figured it had something to do with the bond between you all and brought you here to rest. Roman is with his parents as well."

Irene narrowed her gaze. "What’s happening? Don’t tell me something happened to Violet?"

Right at that moment, the strange dream Griffin had came rushing back to him.

Except it wasn’t a dream.

"Fuck!" Griffin jumped to his feet so abruptly that his parents flinched back, worry instantly returning to their faces.

His eyes widened as everything clicked into place, his hand pressing against his chest as if to steady the sudden rush.

He saw Asher and Violet.

"The bond is complete," he whispered at first. Then a laugh broke out of him, wild and exhilarated. "Asher is finally bound to her! That lucky bastard!" He punched the air in excitement.

"Okay...?" Irene muttered, clearly unsure, her expression caught somewhere between relief and confusion.

Right at that moment, there was a knock on the door. Griffin rushed to open it. He didn’t need to guess who it was, he could already feel "him".

Roman burst in, breathless, eyes lit with the same realization.

"Asher and Violet are finally mated!" He announced.

"Yes, dude, finally!" Griffin shot back, matching his energy instantly.

They grabbed each other, arms thrown over shoulders, jumping in excitement like children who had just won a game.

Except they didn’t realize all the shouting was happening inside their heads. To everyone else, they were just grinning and celebrating like lunatics.

Scratch that—add Leon Draven to the scene, who stood by the doorway watching them with the same baffled expression as the others.

One moment, his son had been unconscious. The next, he had sprinted across the house like the devil was chasing him.

For a brief second, Leon genuinely wondered if Roman had gone mad. In the span of a few minutes, he felt like he had aged ten years.

While the boys were celebrating, Irene leaned in to whisper to her husband, "Should we be concerned about this new development?"

At that, Roman grinned, sending a thought to Griffin. "I can’t fail to mention that I love this new upgrade."

Griffin shot back," You’ve said that a hundred times already."

Roman let out a dramatic mental sigh. "I can’t wait for her return. Now we have a private channel where I can say my thoughts unfiltered. I’m practically bursting with excitement."

Griffin’s brow furrowed slightly. "Dude, we are with our parents. Can you try not to be weird?"

"What do you mean, weird?" Roman retorted. "Sorry, I’m just more honest about my feelings for our mate than you are, you prude. Meanwhile, Asher is probably busy monopolizing her for goddess knows how long. I have to step up my game. There’s competition now, and I refuse to fall behind."

"Goddess above, save me," Griffin muttered mentally, dragging a hand down his face in clear exasperation.
