A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 15: The Healing II.

Things didn’t go the way it seemed.

Kaito eventually left for the bathroom, thankfully without removing his trousers, and that gave her a moment of relief. Taros helped her into bed carefully, making sure she was comfortable. He didn’t say much after that. He just sat beside her, waiting. Angela could barely keep her eyes open. Before she drifted off, she felt him still there—watching over her like someone who actually cared. And when she finally fell asleep, he slipped out quietly.

For the first time in her life, she felt like someone really cared.

No one had ever done that for her. Not even Grace. Even when Angela was sick and burning with fever, Grace never stayed by her side. She’d go out, leave her alone, tell her to figure it out herself. No hugs, no comfort. Just silence.

But today? Someone stayed. Someone helped her. Kaito had saved her from Renn and Hiro, and Taros... Taros treated her like she mattered. Like they had known each other for longer than just a day. He made her believe that maybe this Academy wasn’t such a terrible place after all. That maybe, just maybe, there was room here for someone like her.

But deep inside, she couldn’t let herself get too comfortable.

Life had taught her one harsh lesson—nothing good ever lasted. People changed. One minute they were kind, the next they could turn cold. She had learned not to expect too much from anyone, not even the ones who smiled the most.

That night, she had the worst nightmare.

Renn wasn’t alone in her dream this time. There were four of him. Four monsters with his face, each shaped differently, each ready to tear her apart. She ran faster than she ever had in her life, screaming, crying, but no matter where she turned, one of them was there. In the end, she still got caught. Her screams echoed into the darkness.

A loud bell tore through the room and pulled her from the nightmare. She shot up in bed, gasping for air. Sweat clung to her skin. Her eyes searched the room, hoping to find Taros there. But he was gone.

So was Kaito.

She sat there confused, trying to figure out what time it was, when the door creaked open.

A tall guy she’d never seen before walked in. He froze when he saw her. His hazel eyes locked on her like he hadn’t expected anyone else in the room. They just stared at each other for a few seconds, unsure of what to say.

Then Kaito walked in behind him.

He looked freshly worked out, wearing a fitted white shirt that hugged his body and black track pants. A small white towel rested on his shoulders, and he had airpods in his ears, one still playing something faintly. He didn’t even look tired.
