Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 152: A Tip In Power

"And finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for has arrived! We are live at the bonfire party tonight!" Nicole spoke into the camera with excitement as she recorded for her blog.

Ever since the meteoric rise of The Oracle, every aspiring student journalist and gossip columnist had been scrambling to follow in her footsteps.

They owned it.
