Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 258: Perfect Window

First period was canceled that morning and for good reasons. Violet and the girls received an alert from the Lunaris link, the school’s academic app. All the students of Lunaris Academy were expected to converge at the ballroom. Hence they joined the students funneling in one direction.

Though Lunaris Academy was known for its cutting-edge dorms and lavish wings, the school had been around for a long time, and the ballroom remained one of its oldest and grandest parts.

With vaulted ceilings crowned by breathtaking chandeliers, marble floors polished to a mirror shine, tall arched windows, and water-paint murals lining the walls, the space practically reeked of legacy.

Depending on the occasion—such as the assembly taking place right now—it often doubled as a conference or banquet hall, thanks to its impressive size.

Perhaps due to the sudden nature of the announcement, Violet did not get much of the attention she had expected after yesterday’s incident. It relieved her a bit even though she knew it wouldn’t last forever.

Students filed in, filling the room with chatter, but all noise quickly died down as their eyes caught sight of principal Jameson. But that was not all because the four cardinal alphas were standing tall behind her.

Everyone practically froze, not because of the cardinal alphas powerful presence but because everyone knew the alphas had been butting heads lately. Even the Oracle predicted the cardinal alphas breaking up.

And yet, here they were, united behind their principal Jameson like the good old days. They knew instinctively, something big was coming.

Once the last student squeezed through, Jameson stepped forward to the podium, her voice echoing through the mic.

"Thank you all for coming," She commanded everyone’s attention. "Now in recent days, we have seen recent events threaten the harmony of this great academy. Scandals. Fights. Chaos."

She paused, letting the tension simmer before she went on, "Let me warn you: Lunaris will not tolerate such behavior moving forward. Not on my watch. Any further misconduct will be met with the harshest retaliation, and trust me, I don’t mean detention."

The hall was dead silent at this point and some of the students, especially the humans, had expressions of dread on their faces. Violet was concerned as well knowing the stunt she was about to pull off, however, she remained brave. Jameson was all talks because at the end of the day, the wolves would do whatever they wanted.

"Fortunately," Jameson added, "I’m in a forgiving mood today because this week is Parents Week."
