A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 69: Who Is The Suspect?

Renn headed straight to the South House after leaving Angela’s classroom. He hadn’t been able to check on Hiro the day before because of his packed schedule. Aside from his regular duties, he had to take combat classes for the Junior students. The other three Alphas were also instructors, but their classes weren’t scheduled yet. For now, everything was on his shoulders.

When he reached the room, he knocked, and Kael opened the door. They exchanged greetings, and Renn walked in, heading straight for the bed where Hiro was lying.

"I know what’s in that thick skull of yours. Don’t you dare say it," Hiro warned, already guessing what Renn wanted to say.

"I’m going to say it anyway," Renn replied with a small laugh as he sank into the couch. He looked at his friend and shook his head, "You look like shit."

"I told you not to say it," Hiro sighed and tried to sit up. "It’s all because of that damn bullet. And Taros didn’t help either."

"How did he contribute to this?" Renn asked, confused. As far as he knew, Taros was the reason Hiro was still alive.

"If only he didn’t make it seem like I’m helpless, none of you would be babying me right now," Hiro explained, rubbing his forehead. "He won’t even let me step out of bed. Thinks I’ll drop dead the moment I walk through that door."

"You need rest. He’s right," Kael added from where he stood near the door.

"Wow, thank you for the motivation," Hiro replied sarcastically, flashing Kael a fake smile before turning back to Renn. "By the way, Taros left a scar on me. A huge one. Can you tell him to get rid of it? Girls are going to keep asking me questions about it."

"Let them ask. It makes you look more dangerous," Renn teased, chuckling softly. "It’s beautiful on you."

"You’re not my brother. None of you are. You’re all my enemies," Hiro muttered, shaking his head.

"I really missed you, bro," Renn said, his tone softer this time. Hiro was one of the few people who could make him laugh no matter what. His jokes, his energy, his reckless honesty—he was more than a friend. He was like a brother. They fought sometimes, argued over little things, but Renn would always pick Hiro over anyone else. Even family.
