A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 113: Being A Jerk-Alpha Renn.

It was hard for Alex to keep up with Renn’s pace. He was fast, almost like a cheetah, and Alex nearly lost him until he caught sight of him again. Renn had stopped by a giant tree, his back pressed against it as though he needed the strength to hold him up.

Alex slowed and came to a stop, watching him carefully. He had never seen Renn like this before. This wasn’t just anger. It was deeper, sharper, something that cut him from the inside. Alex could finally see how much it hurt him. The bond Renn thought he had with Angela wasn’t a game. To Renn, it had been real, and learning the truth this way was tearing him apart.

"Renn," Alex called softly as he walked closer, careful not to get too near too fast. He stopped a short distance away, his voice steady. "Come on, Alpha. This doesn’t suit you at all."

Renn did not move. He stood silent, fighting the ache in his chest. He wished he could push it away, but it stayed, heavy and unrelenting. Alex tried again. "I understand you, you shouldn’t have—" His words broke off when Renn laughed, the sound sharp and mocking. Alex knew it was meant to sting, but he held his ground, watching calmly.

"How do you understand me? Have you ever been in love?" Renn asked.

"No, Alpha."

"Good. Then you don’t know," Renn replied, crossing his arms tightly over his chest. His fists clenched hard against his palms as his thoughts consumed him. "I never wanted to share mates with anyone. Yet I had to... with my brothers. When things started with Angela, it felt like a joke at first, but I told her I couldn’t stand sharing her."
