Chapter 396: Chapter 449

Chapter 0449 “No; actually, I came here to say that I think it's unfair that she must live off campus. She'd be able to get the best schoolwork done if she were here full-time. She's already behind and she needs every advantage she can get.” Headmaster Prescott leaned back in her seat and took me in with her eyes. I couldn't read the expression on her face, but she was quiet for along moment.

“You know she’s a fairy, right?” She finally asked, keeping her tone even.

“Since when does a student species matter?” I asked, furrowing my brows together. “It's the 21 (st) century, Headmaster.

If we can welcome vampires, bears, and even some witches, we can welcome fairies as well.” “You know that’s not what I mean, Lila,” she said, sighing. “I've tried to get her a room but unfortunately no student wants to room with her.”

“Then make them—" “I can’t force them to room with someone they don’t want to room with; especially when they were there first,” she said, stopping my words. She didn't raise her voice, but her tone was powerful enough to silence me.

“It's just not fair,” I murmured, staring down at my hands.

“I know you want to help, and you are. By tutoring her and catching her up on her assignments, you are helping her a lot. She still has access to everything a regular student has access to. The only difference is she won't be sleeping here. It won't affect her work if she doesn't let it.” I opened my mouth to say more, but the office door swung open and a dark and familiar sense washed over me. Telling from how tense Headmaster Prescott just got, I knew exactly who was standing behind me.

“Sorry, I didnt realize you were having a student meeting,” Alpha Jonathan said from behind me.

turned slightly and peered up at him, his eyes flashed with recognition as he glared at me “Oh, hello, Lila,” he said with such a fake kindness I had to stifle an eye roll.

“Hello, Alpha,” I said to him, proud that my voice came out stronger than I felt. I turned back to Headmaster Prescott and forced a smile. “I'll leave so you can talk.” “Actually, you can stay, Lila,” Alpha Jonathan surprised me by saying. “I'm glad you are here; this concerns you as well.” My heart fell deep into my stomach. He was.

going to tell the headmaster about what he saw in the arena. I knew it.

It took everything I had not to jump up and run from the room.

“Go on,” Headmaster Prescott urged.

I Alpha Jonathan stepped further into the I room, keeping the door open, probably so Sarah could listen as well. I felt my face

getting warmer with each passing second.

‘I wanted to speak to you about this mural that is being created under my nose without my consent,” he said through his teeth and as soon as those words left his lips, I felt myself sighing in relief.

I But then his words registered, and I tensed again. Was he going to forbid the mural from happening? We were already collecting photos from students; they were going to be so disappointed.

“We've been meaning to speak about it with you—" “When? After it's already been created?” Jonathan asked, raising his brows. I had never seen Tiffany Prescott look so small as she does at this very moment. I felt bad she was getting in trouble because of an idea that I had.

“My board members were supposed to send an email—" “They didn't,” he said sharply, cutting her off.

“I had to find out from a student.”

“I'm so sorry, Alpha...” ‘If it were to be run by me, I'd express my concerns about having my campus graffitied.” “It's not graffiti,” I found myself saying quickly. “It's a mural for students. It'll give the campus more life and color.” “It's a school; it doesn’t need life or color,” he said through his teeth.

“It's a school that most of us live in,” I said in return, narrowing my eyes at him. “The students are lacking in motivation and 60% of it is because of the environment they work in.” “And graffiti is going to change that?” He’ asked, raising his brows.

“It'll help,” I said, not bothering him to correct him again. “The colors will make it livelier, and the students will feel seen.” “Alpha, the mural is going to be a bunch of pictures that the students submit to the art department that will—="

EE “I'm aware of what this project is, Miss Prescott. No thanks to you and the board that I pay,” Alpha Jonathan sneered, making her flinch and silence. He then turned to me, narrowing his eyes at me. “I'll tell you what.

You win this election, and you can continue with this project. If my daughter wins then this project is being thrown out. Until then, it's on hold. End of story.”
