A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 90: The Truth Hurts.

Kaito shook his head in disbelief as he stared at the photo in his hands. This was going to be another shock of his life. Angel had been in disguise all this time? How the fuck was that even possible? He didn’t want to believe it, didn’t want to think about it, but it was too late. It had already happened, and he was part of it.

The boy... no, the girl, had always acted strange, but he never imagined this would be the truth behind her. He had done everything to protect this person, tried to be there for her, yet all along he had been nursing a snake.

"I can explain," Renn began, but his voice was unsure. He didn’t even know what to say to keep his brother from completely snapping. He could already see the pain in Kaito’s eyes. "I’m sure Angel didn’t want you to—"

"Wait..." Kaito closed his eyes and tried to calm himself. This shit was getting too messy, too fast. He opened his eyes again, his voice tight with anger. "Did you know about this? Were you aware of this lie?" He raised the photo in his hand, and Renn nodded silently. That was enough. Kaito didn’t want to hear another word.

"You kept it from me. I thought we were brothers. Something like this... this should’ve been told to me."

Renn saw his brother’s eyes turning red. He didn’t want to argue, not now, not here. They were standing in the enemy’s damn room. Kaito was hurt, but him? He felt disappointed too. Still, his brain knew they were running out of time.

"Can we not do this here?" Renn said quietly.

Kaito rubbed his forehead with his damp palm. His chest tightened, and his hands wouldn’t stop shaking. He never thought he’d feel this hurt again. His voice was laced with sarcasm now. "Let’s not do this here. Nice suggestion. Then help me snap the papers on the floor."

"Sure..." Renn replied, unsure of the shift in his tone but still going along with it. He squatted down, picked up the scattered documents, and began taking pictures of them one by one. He took photos of Angela too—the ones lying on the ground like discarded memories. When he was done, he asked, "Are we going to put them back?"

"Don’t ask me anything," Kaito snapped, a deep frown carved into his face. He stood, holding the flashlight, keeping it steady for Renn. But from time to time, he couldn’t stop staring at Angel’s photo in his hand.
