A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 87: Angela Now Angel.

"Why didn’t you pair me up with Angel?" Renn asked for the sixth time since they got over the fence. He didn’t understand why he had to be stuck with Kaito when he could have been with his girlfriend, protecting her like he was supposed to.

Kaito gave no reply. He simply closed his eyes, focusing all his energy on trying to shut down the lights in the Central House. If he could do that, they would have an upper hand in the dark. Most of the Housemates were humans after all, and darkness was their enemy.

"I would have made a better pair with Angel than Hiro. I’m sure he’s bullying him," Renn went on, still talking as they moved behind the dormitory. The building was tall and quiet, and they needed to find a way in from the back. If Evan had cameras set up in his room, they had to be extra careful. "I would have—"

"You’re getting on my damn nerves," Kaito cut in sharply. His voice was low but filled with irritation. He didn’t understand why Renn kept talking about pairing up with Angel. Couldn’t he see how serious this was? Couldn’t he shut the fuck up for one damn minute?

"And for the record, about that pairing shit. Hiro is better."

"Why?"

"Because I said so. I don’t owe you an explanation," Kaito snapped, not caring how harsh he sounded. "I’m Angel’s Alpha and his roommate. I know what’s good for the boy."

Renn stopped walking. The pain in his eyes was sudden, but deep. "So you think I’m not good enough for him?" he asked, his voice cracking slightly. Kaito’s words hit harder than he expected. Was that what everyone thought? That he was a bad influence on Angela?

"Don’t think of it like that," Kaito sighed, running a hand through his hair. Maybe he shouldn’t have said it that way. But again, maybe Renn deserved it. He had hidden things. He acted like nothing was wrong and expected them to figure it out on their own. No one came to him. No one said a word.

"You already said it. I can’t stop thinking about it now," Renn muttered, shaking his head. The sadness on his face was raw. Real. He had done wrong to Angela before, he knew that. But it was a stupid, careless mistake. And if punishment was what he deserved, he was willing to take it. Anything but being separated from Angela. That, he wouldn’t take.

"I’m sorry if my words got to you," Kaito said, his voice softer now. But then, as the words left his mouth, his expression twisted with confusion and anger. "What the fuck am I even apologizing for? You don’t deserve it."

"I think you just have a problem with me," Renn replied bitterly, eyes still fixed on Kaito.

"Maybe."

"I love talking to you. It’s been really helpful, Kaito," Renn said with a roll of his eyes, clearly not in the mood to argue anymore. His phone beeped just then and he tapped on the new message from Stales. It said they had gotten Evan out of the dorms. He looked up. "We can go inside now."

"Behind, right?" Kaito asked.

"No. You can destroy the cameras with your power. That anonymous guy won’t even know," Renn replied quickly. "We’ll just make it look like thunder struck."

"How the hell are we supposed to make it look like thunder struck?" Kaito asked, like he didn’t already know where Renn was going with it. But when Renn looked away and didn’t answer, Kaito sighed. He knew exactly what he wanted. "No, man. If I keep using my powers like that, Slade will figure it out. He’s not fucking stupid."
