The Heartless Alpha’s Beloved Luna (Avery and Gideon) novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318

Avery’s POV

The drive to Heathmoore Academy took fifteen minutes instead of twenty because I accidentally blew through a stop sign due to my mind wandering so much.

The school was on the north side of the city, surrounded by manicured lawns and wrought-iron gates. It was expensive, but the education was the best available, and I thought Bjorn would be happy there.

I was wrong.

I had worked so hard to get Bjorn into this school. The tuition was insanely expensive, plus I was expected to be on the PTO despite my lack of time for things like bake sales and fundraisers. But I did it. For Bjorn.

And now, for the third time this month, I was being called in because of another incident.

I parked in the visitor’s lot and walked inside. The receptionist recognized me immediately, and just pointed at the headmaster’s office door without a word. She scowled at me as I passed, so I knew it was really bad.

Sure enough, Bjorn was sitting in a chair near the window in the headmaster’s office. His arms were crossed, and his face was turned away from me. But I could see his knuckles. They were covered in blood.

“Bjorn,” I said.

He didn’t look at me.

The headmaster stood from behind his desk He was a tall and imposing man, but he was kind. Or at least, he used to be before Bjørn started troubling him. Now, every time I saw him, he just looked more and more tired.

“What happened?” I asked by way of greeting.

The headmaster looked at my son, then looked at me, “Bjorn got into a physical altercation with another student during lunch. The other boy had to be taken to the hospital. He has a broken nose, two fractured ribs, and a concussion.”

“Jesus Christ, Bjorn. Is that true?”

I looked at Bjorn. He still wouldn’t meet my eyes, although I could see his jaw clench. Whenever he did that, he looked too much like Gideon, and it made me feel weird.

“Thankfully, the other student will be able to make a full recovery, and the family has decided not to press charges,” the headmaster continued. “But this isn’t the first time Bjorn has acted out violently. And given the extent of the other student’s injuries, we can’t overlook it.”

“What started the fight?” I asked.

“According to witnesses, the other student made a comment about Bjorn’s family. Bjorn responded by attacking him.”

“What did the kid say? Did anyone try to step in?”

“A teacher intervened within seconds. But the damage was already done.” The headmaster sighed. “I’m going to be direct with you. Bjorn can’t continue attending Heathmoore Academy.”

“What?” My mouth hung open. “You’re expelling him?!”

“Unfortunately, I have no other choice. This is the third violent incident this month. We’ve tried to work with you. We’ve been patient. But I can’t in good conscience allow a student who poses a physical threat to others to remain enrolled here.”
