Story: Defy The Alpha(s)
Being stunned was an understatement; Lila, Daisy, and Ivy simply gawked at Violet like a fool. To think they had been debating how to haul her out of bed and comfort her for the day’s trials, never guessing she was already on her feet, preparing for revenge? Wow. That was mind-blowing.
Ivy was the first to speak. "You just said ’enemies,’ not ’enemy,’ which means more than one...right? I thought Elsie Lancaster was our only enemy. What other enemies do we have? Tell me it’s not the cardinal alphas. It can’t be them, please."
"Knock it off, Ivy," Daisy snapped. Ivy’s fixation on the alphas was clearly getting on her last nerve.
Violet boldly told her. "Yes, you heard correctly. I’m not sparing the cardinal alphas. I plan to punish them all."
Immediately, Lila’s eyes shone with pride. "Whatever you decide, Princess, this humble servant stands with you wholeheartedly." The girl looked as if she were a breath away from bowing like a knight and pledging her allegiance.
"Whoa, hold up," Ivy interrupted, stepping closer. "Do you even realize what you’re talking about? We’re dealing with the cardinal alphas here. Even Elsie alone’s going to be a battle, considering all her supporters. Add the alphas, and that’s suicide."
"What supporters?" Daisy scoffed. "Have you looked at your Moon Feed this morning? The Oracle dropped a bombshell."
Violet’s brows lifted in surprise. She quickly pulled out her phone and opened the Oracle’s latest article.
Written by : The Oracle
Oh, my addicted readers of Lunaris! Your poor Oracle’s heart is so shattered, even a polite "hello" feels like a lie right now. Let’s skip the sugarcoating and plunge straight into our latest storm of scandal, shall we?
Oh, Lunaris.
Let’s not pretend we don’t all know what’s on the tip of everyone’s tongue right now: The Video. Yes, that one.
Oh, Elsie. You were once the ice queen we all feared and admired. But now? You’ve scorched so many flowers that even The Oracle is squinting at your crown. Releasing that well-timed video wasn’t a power play—it was a full-blown massacre.
Do I condone Violet’s risqué rendezvous with not one but two of the cardinal alphas? Absolutely not. Nonetheless, everyone to their own. But to throw a girl to the wolves like that? There’s a word for that, darling: cruelty.
And before you bite, no—I’m not soft. But I still believe in girl code. Women supporting women. What happened to that, Elsie? Did you skip the lesson or were you too busy clinging to power to remember we’re not supposed to cut each other down?
Now, I’ve witnessed my fair share of catfights, but seeing that humiliating takedown of our dear Violet Purple—oof. Even I, your drama-loving Oracle, had to clutch my pearls. There’s a line you don’t cross, honey. And Elsie soared right over it with the grace of a rabid hawk.
As for you, Alaric, our Lightning Prince, you burned us. We shipped it. We rooted for you. Or did we not cheer him on when he literally kissed the thunder into Violet’s life?
We said, "Oh look, maybe brooding Alaric has a heart after all." But then? You shattered it. Publicly. Mercilessly.
Dear prince Alaric, you’re not just the storms these days, you’re the heartbreak hurricane, and half of Lunaris is gawking at your every move. I expected better from you.
But fear not, my cunning sweethearts, because as one door closes, another opens.
One name lingers in the air: Asher Nightshade. Remember that persistent death look alpha who’s hovered around Violet from day one? Perhaps this fiasco is the break he’s been waiting for.
If Asher intends to swoop in and console our Rogue Queen, well, sign me up for the front-row seats. Then again, he’s vanished from the radar lately. Off plotting some wicked scheme, I presume?
If Asher’s out of the picture, well... might I interest you in Griffin Hale?
Because did you see that man leap to Violet’s defense? (Raise your hand if you swooned a bit when he roared on her behalf. No shame—we all did.) What a knight in shining armor moment. If chivalry isn’t dead, it’s probably wearing East House colors.
Which brings me to another juicy thought: is the alliance between Griffin and Alaric fracturing? We’ve seen bonds strain before (cough Asher and Roman cough).
Their relationships are more frayed than that pair of old jeans in your closet and now the crackling tension between these two makes me wonder if the Cardinal Four might soon become... well, none.
By the Moon Goddess, let’s hope this doesn’t result in another calamity like the one at Silver Court last Saturday. My day planner can’t handle another tragic meltdown.
So, if we’re playing chess, it looks like Elsie, the reigning queen bee, officially has Roman and Alaric on her side. (Or does she? Roman didn’t look too cozy with her after the video.)
On the other hand, Rogue Queen Violet may just have Asher and Griffin backing her. Which side pulls more knights into their camp, hmm? The mind reels and I, for one, am living for it.
As always, I’ll be watching (and sipping tea) to bring you the juiciest updates. Until next time, keep your claws sharp and your secrets sharper.
"Whoa," Violet breathed, unable to believe what she’d just read.
"Yes, that was exactly the feeling I had after I was done too," Daisy admitted. "Aside from you, the Oracle is one of the few not scared to call out Elsie’s behavior."
She added, "The Oracle has never been on anyone’s case the way she’s emotionally invested in yours. If I wasn’t so careful, I’d dare to say she’s on your side."
Ivy shook her head. "Elsie won’t take this lying down."
"And that’s where you’re wrong," Daisy told her ominously. "No one fights the Oracle. Not when she holds the key to your secret. You don’t want her opening that box."
