A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 40: Rejection? Never!

"Doesn’t he look kind of feminine to you?" Alpha Renn asked, resting his hands on the stair rail. He was upstairs with Samuel, watching the students gathered below.

"Angel?" Samuel raised a brow and looked down. He spotted Angel talking to Taros. And now that Renn mentioned it, there was something different about the boy. The way he kept brushing his hair back—but not like a guy would. Instead of pushing it away carelessly, Angel tucked it gently behind his ear. He also kept stealing glances at Taros like he was trying hard not to stare too much.

Samuel narrowed his eyes, curiosity tugging at him, but he decided to stay in his lane. "Maybe that’s just how he behaves," he said casually.

"Not with me," Renn replied without hesitation. "He doesn’t act that way around me at all."

"Well, maybe he doesn’t like you," Samuel said. "You’ve never exactly given him a reason to."

"You’re blaming me for this now?" Renn snapped. "The boy disrespected me in front of everyone. I had to act."

He remembered the exact moment things went wrong between him and Angel. It had started with his first day. .

"So you’ve been trying to prove a point all this time?" Samuel asked quietly.

Renn didn’t respond. His eyes stayed locked on Angel and Taros as they walked together, heading toward the junior class block. He tried not to care, tried not to give a damn, but something about the way Angel looked at Taros lit a fire in his chest.

What the fuck were they talking about? Why did Angel have to smile like that?

He clenched his jaw. He didn’t want to react, but his blood was boiling. His chest burned like someone had punched him from the inside. He hated this feeling.

"Maybe you don’t actually hate Angel," Samuel said, dragging him back to reality. "I think you like him... but you just don’t know how to handle it. First, he embarrassed you. Now, he’s doing something else to you—and it’s messing with your head."

Renn turned to him slowly, eyes narrowed. "And what the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"You’ll figure it out, Alpha," Samuel replied with a small smirk. He gave Renn a light pat on the arm and walked off, leaving the Alpha standing there in silence.

But Renn did know what he meant.
