Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244: Violet Purple Has To Go

Jeremiah, Griffin, Alaric, Roman, and Elsie were gathered in Principal Jameson’s office, making the air inside feel suffocatingly tense. If anyone dropped a lit match in there, it might have erupted in flames given the hostility crackling among them.

None of the alphas were speaking. Each of them stood at their own corner, wearing scowls like armor, positioned as far from one another as the room allowed.

All except Elsie Lancaster, who sat primly in the chair before Jameson’s desk, legs crossed, looking unbothered and bored. She alone seemed immune to the atmosphere, her expression far too composed for someone at the center of a brewing storm.

Then the door flung open and in came Principal Jameson, her heels echoing sharply like war drums against the tile. She came around her desk and paused, taking one long, disbelieving look at the fractured scene before her.

There was disunity among the cardinal alphas. Something that had never happened in Lunaris Academy’s history, until now.

Then her gaze landed on Jeremiah. They narrowed. "Where is your Alpha?"

Jeremiah merely shrugged. "Out on alpha business."

It was the one excuse no one, not even Jameson included, could challenge. An Alpha on duty was untouchable. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

Roman scoffed audibly from his spot near the bookshelf. Everyone in the room knew that was a lie. Perhaps Jameson knew that too judging from the way her jaw ticked. But then, she said nothing.

Instead, she exhaled slowly, tamping down her rage. "So," she said tightly, "what the hell is going on?"

Elsie arched a brow. "You’ll have to be a bit more specific, Principal Jameson," she said, her voice light with mock innocence.

Jameson didn’t respond right away. Instead, she pulled out her phone, placed it on the desk, and hit play. The video began to roll, showing the exact moment Elsie spat in Violet Purple’s face.

"Care to explain that?" Jameson asked tightly.

Elsie barely glanced at the screen before looking up again, offering a sugary smile. "Oh, that? I was simply dealing with a rogue who didn’t know her place." she said dismissively. "It’s nothing to worry about."

"Really? Nothing to worry about?" Jameson nodded her head, seeming to consider the words for half a beat before she lost it.

With a sudden burst of fury, Jameson swept her desk clean, the papers, files, and her phone scattering across the floor with a thunderous crash. Everyone in the room flinched. They had never seen her this furious.

She advanced toward Elsie who remained seated. Given Jameson’s height, she loomed over her like a tempest about to break.

"Are you fucking kidding me right now?!" she barked into Elsie’s face. "This one—" she jabbed a finger toward Griffin, "nearly tore the school apart. And this one—" her hand shifted to Alaric, "would’ve electrocuted everyone if he’d lost control. Do you understand what that means? STUDENTS COULD HAVE DIED UNDER MY WATCH!"

At that moment, she didn’t even care that her fury was close enough to spray spit on Elsie’s face.

However, Elsie’s initial calm vanished, her eyes flashing with anger as her wolf rose to the surface. In a low, threatening voice, she said, "It would do you best to step away from me. Now."
