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.

But no matter how hard they tried to mimic her style, none could match the Oracle’s enigma, nor her undeniable dominance in the world of Lunaris reporting.

Still, that didn’t stop them from trying.

Nicole pivoted slightly, angling the camera toward the extravagant bonfire setup, her voice laced with awe because the Alphas were definitely not afraid to flaunt their affluence.

Her camera panned across the arena, capturing every excess and indulgence in full, glorious detail.

Unlike ordinary boarding schools, where students had to sneak around, bribe lenient staff, or risked expulsion for throwing unauthorized parties, the Cardinal Alphas did not ask for permission.

They did what they wanted.

Because at Lunaris, the Cardinal Alphas didn’t just rule the student body.

They owned it.

The bonfire arena was remote yet accessible, settled in the sprawling, shadowed clearing right next to the infamous Silver Glade, the scary woodland.

But not tonight.

Tonight, the alphas owned the darkness.
