A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 103: Growing Up Alone.

"Tell me, what was it like growing up alone?" Angela asked, still in his arms. She didn’t want to break free. There was something about being there with him... it gave her peace. If anyone could understand what she had been through, it was him. They understood each other’s pain without needing to talk too much about it.

"You’re supposed to know," Hiro chuckled, his eyes drifting away as if he was walking through his own past. "It was cold and lonely. Sometimes, I wished there was someone to talk to about what was going on in my life... but there was no one. When I woke up in the pack house, I would see my cousins’ parents preparing them for school. And me? I just struggled to find my own way."

"I can imagine. I always prepared myself for school as long as I can remember, but guess what? It made things easier for me," she said. "I didn’t have to rely on my mother for everything. I handled things myself whether she was there or not. But sometimes, I wanted her to step in and fulfil her duties... just once. But she never did. Not even once."

"She sounds just like my uncle. Maybe we should introduce them and let the worst family members in the world meet," he said playfully.

Angela broke from the hug and looked at him. He was the king of jokes, and this one... she had to laugh. He didn’t know who Grace was. She would charm his uncles, then turn them against each other for her own amusement.

"You know what happened?" Hiro asked. She shook her head, and he continued. "When my parents died, I didn’t know. I thought they left me. I was only four, and one of my uncle’s wives always told me I was a bad kid who wouldn’t listen, and that’s why they left me to have another baby. She kept saying that until I started hating my parents. She made me do things I didn’t want to."

Angela was shocked. How could anyone be so cruel to a four-year-old who had just lost his parents? Instead of helping him, they turned him against the very people who had loved him.

No matter what, Grace had never said anything bad about her father. She always said he was a good man, even though he was gone now. That was one of the reasons Angela would fight for his name any time, any day. Her father must have truly been a good man, because Grace was not someone who gave praise without meaning it.
