A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 49: Maybe I’m In love-Hiro!

Renn stepped into the party venue. He hated parties. That was one of the reasons he almost didn’t show up, even though Kaito had sent him an invitation. They weren’t friends, not really. But still, they couldn’t deny the truth—they were brothers. Born of different mothers, raised in different packs, yet chosen by the moon goddess for a purpose bigger than any of them.

And he hadn’t forgotten. The bond that would unite them wasn’t blood, but a woman. Their mate. Whoever she was, she had managed to turn their lives upside down without even trying.

"Renn," Taros called, his voice cutting through the noise. He stood near the corner, eyes scanning the crowd.

Renn walked over, his hands shoved deep in his pockets. The air felt strange. He knew they had all felt it. Something wasn’t right, though none of them could explain it.

"You got it too?" Taros asked, his eyes no longer red but their natural shade of blue again.

"I did. That’s why I came," Renn replied. His voice was calm, but his thoughts were restless. "Do you think it’s about her? Our mate? Maybe she’s in trouble."

For a moment, none of them spoke. The silence wasn’t empty—it was heavy. None of them wanted to talk about that night. Each one believed the others didn’t know she had been there. Each one hoped to be the first to reach her.

"I don’t know. Did you get anything else?" Kaito asked, and this time there was worry in his voice.

"No..." Renn trailed off. His eyes had fallen on Angel. A sudden cold wave rushed through him. It made his heart pound for a reason he didn’t understand. Why now? Why him? The feeling didn’t sit right. He frowned and quickly turned away from the boy.

"We won’t know anything until we look around," Renn said. "She could be somewhere close."

"I doubt it," Taros said quietly. He couldn’t catch her scent. The only trace left was what clung faintly to Angel. And even that was fading. Without her scent, finding their mate would be nearly impossible. And tonight wasn’t even a full moon—their chances were slipping through their fingers.

A small voice broke their focus.

"Is something wrong?"

The three Alphas turned to find the little boy standing there, his eyes full of curiosity.

Renn stared down at him. He was taller than the boy, yet something about Angel’s confidence made Renn pause. Most students in the Academy avoided him. But this boy? He didn’t flinch. He didn’t back away. It was like fear didn’t live in his heart.

"It’s none of your business," Renn replied sharply, though his eyes lingered longer than they should.

He studied the boy more closely. As Angel stepped closer, Renn noticed the softness of his features. The pink lips. The delicate skin. There was something too gentle... too beautiful.
