A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 128: Reek Of Alcohol.

Angela stepped into the pit that belonged to Renn. He was nowhere in sight even though his scent lingered in the air, strong enough for her to know he was close. She moved toward where Samuel stood, but before she could ask him about Renn, she felt something quick behind her. Strong hands slipped around her waist, pulling her back until her body pressed into his. She didn’t need to turn to know who it was. Only Renn knew how to make his presence so clear.

"Babe," his voice came in a whisper that sent cold shivers racing down her spine. His touch alone had the power to undo her. She tried hard not to think of him in that way, especially when everything around them was already a mess.

"Renn..." she breathed, wanting to turn and face him, but he wouldn’t let her. He held her tighter, his face buried in her hair, breathing her in like it was the only thing keeping him alive. "Can you stop being—"

She never finished, because he spun her around and kissed her. It was sudden, unexpected, but brief. Yet that small moment was enough to drive her wild, leaving her lips burning and her heart screaming for more.

Angela broke free from his hold, her fingers brushing across her lips as her eyes widened. "What the hell, Renn?" she whispered, stunned. Her friends pretended they hadn’t seen a thing, greeting him casually before walking away toward Samuel.

"I knew it would be different with you," she said, shaking her head and landing a soft slap on his chest, though it was nothing against someone as strong as him.

Renn only smirked, biting his lower lip as he caught her hand and pressed it against his chest again. "I like it when you hit me like that," he teased, pushing her hand harder against himself in a playful way that made her laugh despite herself. "See... you like it too."

"I am not doing this with you," Angela pulled her hand away, trying to keep her resolve. She had been so worried about him, but here he was acting as if nothing was wrong. Maybe his case wasn’t as serious as the others. "I thought I would find you in bad shape when I came here, but you look just fine."

"You think so?" he asked, his eyes glinting with something she couldn’t read.

"Yes. I am happy you are doing well," she replied softly, concern still lingering in her eyes. Then her attention drifted to Samuel. He, too, seemed unbothered. Everything here felt strange, but she was grateful they were fine. "Hello, Sam."

"Hi, Angela," Samuel answered with a smile, lifting a glass in his hand. She caught the scent almost instantly. Alcohol. He had been drinking. Her chest tightened as her thoughts went straight to Renn. If Samuel had turned to the bottle, then what about her own boyfriend?
