Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 315: Henry Wants Violet Punished

It had barely been a few minutes since Alpha Henry arrived at Lunaris Academy, and Asher was already at the end of his rope.

"Why are students running around like wild animal? This is an academy, not a playground," Alpha Henry muttered as he strode beside his son.

"Because it’s Parents’ Week, and they’re happy to spend time with their families," Asher replied flatly.

"And? Can’t they do it with some order?" Henry scoffed. "This school’s gone downhill since our day. Maybe I should write to the Alpha King and suggest replacing that human principal. It’s about time someone from our own ranks took charge. Someone who actually understands how to lead."

Goddess help me, Asher groaned inwardly. The man hadn’t even been here a full minute, and he was already plotting how to drain the joy out of the students. If not, take over the whole academy.

Asher was still mulling over how to survive the rest of the day with his father when Principal Jameson appeared, smiling brightly as she approached.

"Alpha Henry," she greeted with the kind of warmth meant to charm, clearly ready to extend a handshake.

But Henry didn’t so much as glance at her. He walked right past without a bit of acknowledgement.

It was no secret that Principal Jameson’s power only stretched as far as the walls of her little school. Everyone knew she bent over backward to please the visiting parents, desperate to curry favor wherever she could. So, even with the blatant snub, she pasted on a tight smile and hurried after him like a determined sycophant.

"Alpha Henry, I must say, it’s a pleasure to have you with us today," she tried again, voice bright with forced cheer.

All she got was a disinterested, "Hmm," as Henry kept striding forward like it was the wind speaking behind him.
