Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212: History Of Lunaris

Thanks to the house war, Principal Jameson had instantly announced a campus-wide curfew. No one was allowed outside their dorms after seven p.m., and each house was to stay strictly on its own turf. If students needed something, they had to inform their house prefect.

But what about the rogues? Who would they notify if they needed anything?

Luckily for Violet, Lila, and Ivy, they didn’t require much at that moment. The three of them were sprawled on the living-room floor of the shack, bellies full from dinner, and too lazy to make a move.

It was a good thing they’d hauled back enough food, so they wouldn’t need to journey to the Silver Court for breakfast tomorrow. Even better, none of it would spoil, all thanks to Lila who had cast a quick preservation spell of some sort over it.

"The lights are going to be an issue," Ivy mumbled, glancing at her power bank, whose battery was nearly dead.

"We’ll charge our gadgets tomorrow at school," Violet told her, "and in a day or two, we can figure out hooking up the electrical lines."

The idiots in charge had cut off any supply of light to the rogues’ house. Currently, the girls relied on a stash of old candles they’d discovered in the musty storage room, left behind by the shack’s previous owners.

Amid the clutter, they’d found the candle holder, a battered stove, some skateboards that might help them zip to school, plus a hopelessly broken bicycle. There was more in there, but it was too late—and too dark—to sift through it all.

Ivy rolled to face Lila. "You have magic, so can’t you, like, charge my phone to one hundred percent or something?"

Lila, who seemed miles away, turned her head just enough to scowl. "Don’t bother me." Then she went back to staring at the ceiling.

Ivy pouted. "You’re so weird." With a huff, she flopped back down. "If I ever get powers," she grumbled, "I want the ability to charge anything at will. Perhaps then, I’d charge your brain, too." She definitely meant that as an insult.

Violet snorted a laugh, pressing her palm to her mouth to stifle the noise. Her attention went to Lila, noting that although she was physically present, her mind was clearly somewhere else. Not just that, her eyes were distant, empty, as if she were drifting in a dream or something.

Curiosity rose in Violet. Was this some Fae thing? When was Lila finally going to teach her more about her Fae roots, and everything she was capable of? Violet was growing impatient.

Suddenly, Ivy burst back into the room, making Lila gasp sharply. In that same moment, the vacant look vanished from Lila’s eyes, as if she’d just been pulled out of wherever her mind had wandered.

All three girls sat up, just as Daisy appeared clutching Ivy’s tablet, the one she’d borrowed earlier. She looked breathless with excitement. "I think I just found something you’re going to want to see." _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

They exchanged glances, and Violet spoke for them all. "Go on."

Daisy settled herself on the floor, flipping the screen around so they could see. "So I spent hours digging through Lunaris’s old history archives, and look what I found..."
