Chapter 182: War Of The Rogues And Cardinal Houses

The meeting hall buzzed with conversation, agitation in the air as the cardinal alphas and the elite students gathered in their exclusive space.

Unlike the rest of the school, which had already dispersed, the real power brokers of Lunaris Academy remained to decide the fate of Violet Purple and her friends after the chaos they had ignited.

And it was not surprising that Elsie Lancaster was at the center of it all. She

stood first, saying with righteous indignation.

"Violet Purple and her friends rejected our ways, our laws, and our protection.

A rogue has no place in our hierarchy. I demand that Violet Purple be removed from the rankings immediately!"

Murmurs rippled through the room with some students nodding in agreement, while the others thought the opposite, uncertainty written across their faces. This was the first of its kind, at least since their rise to power, it didn’t mean their predecessors didn’t have a sensitive case like this.

"You’re right," Amanda chimed in smoothly, siding with Elsie like a vulture smelling blood."Allowing a rogue to remain on the rankings undermines the authority of the houses. We can’t have a rogue queen. That would be devastating."

A scoff pierced followed her words.

"For a harmless human, you seem awfully eager to rip her down," Natalie remarked, her arms crossed, and her razor-sharp gaze brimming with mockery. "Do you have that much of an inferiority complex, Amanda Raynes?"

Amanda’s mouth opened in fury, but before she could spit out a retort, Asher’s stare landed on her, and she snapped it shut. There were certain lines even she wouldn’t dare cross especially when the west house Alpha looked at her that way. Cold and deadly. She quickly realized her place.

Natalie took advantage of the silence to say."Last time I checked, rogues are werewolves. Violet and her friends are human. Their decision makes them outcasts, not something as offensive as going rogue. It’s not the same thing."

"Last time I checked," Roman interjected, lifting a brow, "You’re human too, and yet you live under the protection of his pack."He tilted his chin towards Griffin, making his point loud and clear.

"Because I have no choice," Natalie shot back. "If I did, I’d be on my own and perhaps, be branded a rogue." She challenged him.
