Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 647: About Lila...

Lunaris Academy...

Standing in front of Principal Jameson’s office, Daisy Fairchild sucked in a deep breath.

"There’s nothing to be scared about. You did nothing wrong. We’ll just answer Mrs. Jameson and we’re good to go." She gave herself a pep talk before finally mustering the courage to knock on the door.

"Come on in," Jameson’s voice came from inside, and Daisy braced herself as she stepped in.

Of course, there was Principal Jameson looking primed and proper as always, not a single piece out of place. One would think that after the horrible scandal that had plagued Lunaris Academy, the woman would have been sent packing.

Unfortunately, the hard-to-kill cockroach had managed to wriggle her way back into position by riding on Violet’s purple glory, the human girl with three mates. She had the PR team push that story, feeding the garbage to the public until they practically forgot all the recent incidents.

In a way, it worked. Lunaris Academy was once again the top supernatural academy every human girl dreamed of being chosen for. Everyone wanted to be Violet Purple.

Even now, it had been revealed that Violet Purple wasn’t even human. But no one seemed to care. If anything, the academy’s popularity had exploded beyond control.

How did Violet Purple become a werewolf —or whatever people thought she was? Already, rumors were circulating that there was a secret lab in Lunaris Academy where humans were experimented on and turned into werewolves.

And yet, instead of deterring them, it only made everyone want to be part of Lunaris even more.

It was crazy out there.

When Daisy came in, she never expected Principal Jameson to have a visitor and certainly not a familiar, blue-eyed Luna.

"Luna Zara," Daisy bowed her head respectfully. "An honor to meet you."

"The pleasure is mine, Daisy Fairchild."

Daisy lifted a brow. How did the Luna of the North Pack know her name? And why was she summoned here? Of course, Daisy wasn’t stupid; she could sense something was off.

"Do have a seat, Daisy." Jameson gestured to the chair in front of her.

Daisy sat carefully, hyper-aware of the Luna’s presence beside her. Suddenly, it felt less like a meeting and more like she’d just stepped into an interrogation room.

"I’m sure you’re surprised by my presence," Zara said with a small, knowing smile.
