A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 126: Knowing His Pain.

Angela had no idea where they were heading. They had already passed all the school buildings and still had not reached their destination. Stales kept saying they were still inside the Academy. She found it hard to believe, but it was true, the walls of the school still stretched around them.

"Who do you want to meet first?" Alex asked, his eyes on her. He was talking about the Alphas.

"Taros, of course. I want to see how he is doing," Angela answered softly. She wanted to know if he was fine and if there was anything she could do to ease his pain.

Stales smirked. "Did you just choose your favorite?"

She shook her head quickly with a little smile. "No, I don’t have a favorite among them. Can you stop thinking that way? I will see each of them. I can’t even bear the thought of the pain they are suffering here. I just hope it is not as bad as you said. Maybe you only exaggerated."

Alex chuckled as he glanced at her. "You are still doubting." His voice carried warmth but also concern. She was scared and worried at the same time. He had never experienced the bond of mates, but from what little he had seen and heard, it was far stronger than anyone could imagine.

They finally reached the pit. The heavy door creaked open and the sound of voices echoed from below as they began to descend the steps. Darkness closed in on them even though two lamps burned faintly in the corners. A sharp coldness wrapped around Angela the moment she entered. It was colder than anywhere else she had been.

She followed close behind Alex. Then, before she even saw him, her heart caught. The familiar scent of her mate wrapped around her like a blanket. Taros. He was there, standing and speaking with Kael, looking calm as though nothing was wrong.

But the moment she stepped further in, he turned, almost as if he had sensed her presence. His eyes found her at once.

"Hey, Angela," Taros said with a smile so warm it could melt the coldest heart. He moved toward her with open arms, and she rushed into his embrace. They held each other tightly, not wanting to let go. For a few minutes, nothing else mattered. When they finally pulled back, their eyes lingered on one another.
