Chapter 44: Mate Number 3? Triple Problem!

Song Recommendation: Kante by Davido and Fave.

*****

Evening had come. Angela was getting ready to head to the cafeteria when she heard a knock on the door. Kaito had already gone out, so she wondered who it could be. She opened the door and her breath caught the moment she saw who it was.

Taros.

If the word handsome was a person, it would be him. No doubt. He stood there, looking effortlessly perfect, and for a second, she just stared.

"Come in, Alpha Taros," she said, stepping aside.

"Is Kaito in?" he asked as he walked into the room. His eyes scanned around, then he nodded to himself. "I guess he already left. I actually came to get you ready."

It took a second for Angela to remember their plans. The outing. She had not even told Kaito yet. And the celebration in her house tonight—if she missed it, everyone would be asking questions.

"I have a house—"

"Party? That’s exactly why I’m here," Taros said with a smile so charming it made her feel weak for a moment. He really knew how to use that smile. "We’ll go now, and I’ll make sure you’re back in time for your party. What do you say?"

Angela smiled, feeling her heart warm at how easily he solved her problem. "Nice idea. I’ll get ready now."

"I’ll wait outside," Taros said and headed for the door. She watched him walk out and couldn’t help but sigh. He was such a gentleman. If only Kaito could learn a few things from him.

Angela quickly changed into a big black baggy trouser and an oversized shirt. She combed her hair, which had grown longer than she expected. Maybe she’d trim it again soon. She grabbed a face cap and adjusted it properly, then stood in front of the mirror for a final look.

She looked at her reflection and chuckled. There she was—beautiful and handsome, all at once. No wonder the alphas couldn’t handle her. They didn’t know she was a girl, but they still couldn’t stop trying to break her. They must be jealous. She looked too good to be just another boy in the Academy.

She laughed softly at the thought and rushed out of the room to meet Taros. Just the thought of spending time with him made her chest flutter. She wished, even for a moment, that she could tell him the truth—that she was a girl hiding in this world of boys.

But no. That was too dangerous. Her safety came first. And so, the secret would remain hers...at least for now.

Outside the dormitory, Angela stood quietly, waiting for Taros. Most of the students had already gone to the cafeteria, and for that, she was thankful. The silence made everything easier. She could slip away without drawing any attention. Things seemed to be working in her favor for once. But where was Taros? He had told her he would be waiting outside, yet she couldn’t see him anywhere.

Just as she began to wonder if he had changed his mind, a white BMW pulled up in front of her. She narrowed her eyes in confusion. Whose car was that? The first time they met, back at the Academy gate, he had driven a white Benz. This wasn’t the same car, so maybe it wasn’t him.
