Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 295

Chapter 295: A Miserable Third Wheel

"Elsie asking us to make our own alterations, if that doesn’t scream trap, I don’t know what does," Daisy said as she leaned against the desk. They had managed to find an empty class to regroup after that doomed Luncheon meeting.

"She intends to humiliate us." Ivy glanced down at her phone as if expecting a call. She bit her lip. "We’re rogues. She wants to make that clear to every parent attending that Luncheon."

The girls didn’t need Ivy to finish. It was as clear as daylight.

Even if her family was new money, they were still aristocrats—and they would attend the Luncheon because Elsie had made sure an invitation was sent. They could see the game being played here. Elsie wanted the Sinclair family to see their daughter at her worst. Hanging out with rebels? Rogues? Her parents would be mortified.

Perhaps Elsie reasoned that Ivy’s parents would scold her and try to move her into one of the pack Houses. That way, not only would Violet lose a supporter, but it would also break up their dynamics.

What Elsie didn’t know, however, was that Ivy wasn’t going anywhere. Not that she could. She knew a certain princess’s secret, and that crazy guardian of hers wasn’t about to let her walk free.

Yep, she was stuck either way.

"So we dress differently, we’re branded rogues. We dress the same, and we’re her little bitches serving drinks at her party. I see what she did there." Violet nodded, clearly annoyed.

"So we fake it, then." Lila said suddenly, drawing everyone’s attention.

"What?" Violet asked, curious now.

"Fake it till you make it." Lila shrugged as if it were obvious. "Elsie wants us to be branded as rogues because rogues are supposed to look poor, dangerous, undignified. But what if we look more than they expect us to be?"

"You mean steal the show?" Daisy said, her mind already spinning with the possibilities.

"Yes. Exactly." Lila smirked. "Instead of people looking down on us, they’ll be impressed. After all, how many of them have seen rogues who actually look this good?" She proudly gestured to her body.

Violet chimed in, "You make a fine point. I know Elsie too well. And while she wants her girls to reflect elegance, she would never let them outshine her. No wonder the uniform was so horrible."

Standing taller now with a plan forming in her head, Violet said confidently, "She timed this perfectly. She knew we wouldn’t have time to make alterations and would probably settle for whatever we had. But what she doesn’t know is..." She pinned her gaze on Lila, "We’ve got an ace card."

She turned to Lila fully and asked, "Any chance you can be our fairy godmother and turn this into magic?"

"I’m no witch, Violet," Lila replied, only for her lips to curve into a sly grin, "but this Fae has got a few tricks up her sleeve, and enough materials to work with."
