Defy The Alpha(s)

Chapter 652: Have A Talk

The classroom door swung open, and Daisy let out a long breath of relief. "Thank God, you’re here." She hurried forward and wrapped Ivy in a tight hug.

Ivy embraced her back, then pulled back, eyes wide and tense. "She really called you? Luna Zara?"

Daisy nodded, still shaken. "Yeah. She questioned me about Violet and Lila."

Ivy’s expression twisted in fear. "What do you think we should do? What if we just run away? My family has a private property in the city. We can hide out there until this all blows over."

But Daisy shook her head. "No, Ivy. Running away only proves we’re hiding something. We can’t do that."

Ivy hesitated. "Then what do we do?"

"We stay," Daisy told her. "We simply keep our heads down, and act normal. The moment we run, we look guilty. Violet would want us to be brave, not cowards."

Ivy sighed, running her hand through her hair. "What in the world is going on here? Where is Violet? What happened this time?"

"There’s one person we can get information from," Daisy said.

"Who?" Ivy asked warily.

"Natalie Avax."

It was just one name, but Ivy’s face twisted instantly in disgust.

"Blah!" she groaned, making a face. "You mean the bitch who took Violet’s place?"
