A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 125: To The Alphas ’ PIT.

Angela could not look away from the mark on his chest. Her eyes burned as tears gathered, blurring her vision. For so long she had searched for a sign of her family, and now it felt like they had been searching for her as well. If only Grace had told her more, maybe this moment would not feel so overwhelming.

She swallowed hard, forcing herself to hold the tears back. She could not let either of them see her weakness.

Principal Valois was the first to move. Rising quickly, she stepped between Angela and Marcus, her face stern. "You cannot show your body to a student," she said firmly. "Please."

Marcus’s jaw tightened, annoyance sharp in his voice. "Why are you protecting the boy as if he has never seen a man’s body before?" With little effort, he pushed her aside and closed the space between himself and Angela. His finger tapped the mark on his chest. "Do you carry this anywhere on your body?"

"No," Angela lied smoothly, her heart pounding as she spoke. "I have never seen anything like that on me."

She could not reveal the truth, not when he believed her to be a boy, and not when she still did not know who he truly was. What if he was not family at all? What if the mark meant nothing and anyone could have it? Someone could even tattoo it on their skin to fool her. The thought chilled her. As much as she longed to find her bloodline, she had to stay careful. One mistake could lead her straight into the hands of an enemy.

But still... what if he really was her kin?

"Have you seen it on someone else?" Marcus asked suddenly, snapping her out of her thoughts.

Angela shook her head quickly. She turned toward Principal Valois, who was watching her with narrowed eyes, as though trying to read the truth inside her.

"Who is this girl you are searching for?" Angela asked, unable to stop the question from slipping out. She needed to hear his answer.

"Someone important that I must find," Marcus said, his tone low and heavy with meaning.

"Family?" she pressed.
