Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 915

Chapter 915: Welcome The New Queen

Elijah had to admit that the current Lunaris Academy was better than their time. At least when it came to the food. Everything else was a mess.

The wolves and humans were far too comfortable with each other. Sure, he had introduced the Luna Ranking during his time, but it had been a tool of control, not whatever this nonsense was.

Look at him, an Alpha King having dinner, and yet none of the students had the sense to leave the hall until he was done. That was the least respect they could show the King of the Wolves.

His gaze lingered particularly on Ace Storm, son of Caspian Storm. What in the world was he doing with that human? And by human, he meant Daisy Fairchild.

Daisy, Ace, Ivy, Dion and Natalie were having dinner together alongside the other students of Lunaris that evening. It was something that hadn’t happened in a while. Between the zombie virus, the werewolf civil war and the witches’ attack, movement around the academy had been heavily restricted, with most students confined to their rooms unless absolutely necessary.

Sure, they had food and all their personal needs delivered during the lockdown, but they had missed this. The company, laughter and endless chatter filling the dining hall.

More than anything, the recent events had reminded everyone how fragile life truly was. One moment you were making plans for tomorrow. The next, tomorrow never came. So why not enjoy the present while it lasted?

"What do you think of it?" Daisy asked eagerly as she watched Ace take a bite of the tiramisu she had recommended.

It still felt strange to her that he hardly knew comfort food. Or junk food, as his mother Zara called it.

Growing up, Zara Storm had controlled every aspect of her children’s diet. Anything she deemed unhealthy was immediately banned from the menu.

It wasn’t until recently that Ace understood why his brother Alaric spent so much time attached to Griffin Hale’s hip. The East Alpha’s heir supplied an endless stream of comfort food.

So here Ace was, trying to discover all the treats he had apparently missed out on. At least that was how Daisy had described it.

"Well?" she asked again, her brown eyes shining with anticipation.

Ace chewed slowly, making a show of considering it.

"It’s terrible."

Daisy’s jaw dropped.

"Oh no. Terrible? You don’t like it?"

She looked down at the plate in confusion. Most people loved tiramisu. Then again, everyone had different tastes.

"Absolutely awful," Ace declared before taking another bite. "I should probably finish it so nobody else suffers."

Daisy narrowed her eyes. Then she scoffed.

"You’re impossible."

That was when she noticed the small streak of cream lingering at the corner of his mouth.

"Hold still."

Ace stilled as she leaned forward and wiped it away with her thumb.

"You’re such a messy eater," Daisy chuckled, her hand lingering longer than necessary.

Unfortunately, that was also the exact moment she noticed how kissable his lips looked.

Fuck. What was she thinking?

Daisy immediately tried to pull away. Ace caught her wrist with such speed that her heart skipped a beat.

"What?" she asked, suddenly breathless.

Ace’s blue eyes had darkened.

"That was the perfect kissing moment." His voice came out lower than usual.

Dion whistled knowingly. "Long overdue."

Natalie immediately kicked him beneath the table. "Behave," she warned.

Ivy sighed. At this rate, she was about to become the only single person left in their friend group.

Ace never looked away from Daisy.

"So why are you still hesitating?" he asked. "I already told you I don’t mind the age gap."

Daisy suddenly found herself tongue-tied.

She wasn’t stupid. Ace had made his intentions clear from the beginning. The boy had literally transferred schools because of her.

So what exactly was stopping her? Was it really the age gap? Most people these days barely cared about that.

Except what scared Daisy wasn’t the age difference.

It was the thought of losing him. The recent war had forced that realization on her. Ace could have been sent to fight and he could have died.

Just like that.

If he had, he would never have known how she truly felt about him.

Sure, she was scared.

What if she gave him everything only for him to wake up one day and realize she wasn’t the one?

But then again, how would she ever know if she never gave him a chance?

So this time, Daisy let go of the fear.

She leaned forward while Ace watched her carefully. Her lips brushed the corner of his mouth. It was so brief one could almost believe it never happened.

But the cream disappeared, and there was definitely a lingering tingle where their lips had touched.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Daisy lifted a brow. "You were saying?"

Ace’s eyes immediately gleamed with something dangerous.

"And this is the part where I take over from where you stopped."

He cupped her face with both hands and crashed his lips against hers in a passionate kiss.

"Yes! Finally!" Dion cheered so loudly that half the dining hall turned toward them.

Several students immediately broke into applause. Others wolf-whistled, while a few even started chanting. The entire hall burst into noisy approval as though they had all been waiting for this moment.

That was the scene Elijah witnesse and slowly shook his head. Another royal wolf lost to a lowly human.

Caspian turned his head in the direction of his son and ordered through the pack link, "Ace, clear the hall immediately."
