Chapter 29: Learning Good Manners.

Wait... did that mean Alpha Kaito had a girlfriend?

Angela asked herself for what felt like the hundredth time. She hadn’t been able to sleep all night. Her mind was filled with too many questions and no answers. She had more than enough problems already, and the biggest of them all was that by tomorrow, she had nowhere to sleep. But the one thought that kept rising to the surface was Kaito and his supposed girlfriend.

Why was that even bothering her so much? It wasn’t her business if he had one or even a hundred of them. She was nothing to him.

In fact, she should be grateful. The skies had done her a favor by pulling her away from someone like him. Someone who could have bought her like an object. If what she had heard about West Pack was true, he would have kept her among many others.

She shouldn’t be shocked. The stories she’d heard were horrible and cruel.

Morning came faster than she expected. Angela realized she had barely gotten two hours of sleep. She sat up from the couch and looked around the room. Kaito was already gone, which was no surprise. He was always up early.

She got ready without wasting time and joined the others outside for the morning road work. As usual, she was the last to arrive. But there was no Alex today to tease her or tell her she was meant to be the last in line. He didn’t even show up for training at all.

That made her feel worse. Maybe he was still upset about what had happened yesterday during combat class.

Angela knew it wasn’t his fault. Not really. If anyone was to blame, it was Alpha Renn. He had started it all. None of this would have happened without him.

When the training ended, she hurried back to her room. She took her bath, dressed up, and rushed to the cafeteria. She hadn’t eaten dinner last night, so she made sure not to miss breakfast.

As soon as she stepped into the cafeteria, she could feel it. Every pair of eyes turned to her.

She tried not to let it show, but she noticed the ones from the West Pack looked at her with clear hate in their eyes. She didn’t need to ask why.

They had lost points, and she was the reason.

She just didn’t know how many.
