A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 55: He Knows?

Her lips parted, but no words came out. Angela looked around and saw that some of the students were watching. Their eyes were fixed on her and Renn, curious about what was going on. She turned back to him and saw it clearly—he was angry. Really angry.

She wished she had never come to apologize. This was exactly why she hated saying sorry. She had told Stales before that apologies often made things worse. And now, look at what Renn had done after hers.

Angela swallowed her pain, held back the anger rising in her chest, nodded quietly, and walked away. As she made her way back to her friends, her mind was spinning. What was wrong with Renn? Just moments ago, he had protected her like she meant something, like he cared. He had cleaned her wound, stood up for her, and now he was asking what gave her the right to speak to him?

It was hard to believe. In their dream, he wanted her so badly. He held her like he would never let go, and now he was acting like she didn’t matter. Angela didn’t know which was worse—him knowing the truth about her, or him still thinking she was a boy and hating himself for falling for her.

"What did he say?" Stales asked the moment she returned. "That ended too fast."

"He said I shouldn’t talk to him," Angela replied, her voice shaking slightly. She held the coffee cup tightly, trying to keep it from slipping out of her hand. She still couldn’t believe it. "He acted like the same old Renn... like nothing happened."

"Strange," Alex said, standing up with a confused look on his face. "He almost killed Xavier over you, and now he’s treating you like a stranger?"

Angela didn’t respond.

"I don’t know," Alex continued, "but I think he’s found out your secret. You should think hard. Did you drop any clue? Anything that could’ve made him suspect?"

Before she could reply, Renn’s voice cut through the room, calling the class to order. The combat session had started. They all stood and began walking toward him.

"You guys be watchful," Alex said as they walked. "That person who posted the video is still out there. If you see anything strange, report it fast."

Angela and Stales nodded. They hadn’t forgotten about the video. Someone was trying to ruin her, and that threat was still very real.
