A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 17: Mate?

Fourteen hours earlier...

After Kaito and Taros left with Angel, Hiro couldn’t shake off the feeling that something wasn’t right. There was something strange about the new boy-something that had been bothering him from the moment they crossed paths.

It started in the behind the halls.

He’d caught a scent-sweet, sharp, familiar yet unfamiliar. It pulled him like a rope wrapped around his chest, dragging him across the hallways. He followed it, thinking it was a girl. He even smiled to himself, certain it was a sign. Maybe the Moon Goddess was finally guiding him to his mate.

But then he saw him.

Angel.

A boy.

And his world didn’t just tilt, it cracked.

His wolf had reacted instantly, growling in excitement. But Hiro? He was nothing but stunned. Confused. And more than anything, disappointed. That wasn’t what he expected. That wasn’t what he wanted.

Still, he tried to show a little kindness, maybe just out of curiosity. But Angel didn’t return the energy. No gratitude. No respect. Just attitude. Hiro could still feel the sting from those sharp words. The boy didn’t just irritate him. He insulted him. Right there. Like he had the right to talk back.

And that’s why Hiro had wanted to put him in his place.
