A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 139: Mystery solved?

"A... a new Beta?" Alex asked, his voice breaking. The words hit him harder than a blow. His heart skipped, and for a moment he couldn’t breathe. Of all the punishments he thought he might face, losing his place at Kaito’s side was the one he never imagined. Yes, he had made mistakes, but to be rejected by his Alpha... that was a wound too deep to bear.

"Man, that’s too much," Renn said quickly, glancing between Kaito and Alex. He was trying to see if this was just a cruel joke, but the look in Kaito’s eyes told him otherwise. "You’re serious about this? Wow."

"What do you expect?" Kaito snapped, his voice sharp with anger. "You think I’m joking? He is my Beta, yet when I give him an order, he does the opposite. I ask him to do something, and he does whatever he pleases."

"Is that true?" Renn asked, turning to Alex. Alex’s silence and the small nod of his head gave the answer.

"Why?" Renn pressed gently. "Why don’t you listen to him? Why go against him?"

Kaito’s anger only deepened. "It’s not just that. He keeps secrets in this house when I need the truth. If he had told me about Angela and Evan sooner, we could have fixed things before they got this far. But no, he waited. He left me in the dark, and now we are paying the price." His voice shook with fury. "I will not keep a Beta who doesn’t know his duties. I can find someone else to take his place."

"Calm down, Kaito," Renn tried again, though he knew it was useless. He could feel the weight pressing down on the room. He looked at Alex’s face, pale and stricken, and his chest tightened.

"What calm?" Kaito thundered. "He overheard members talking about Angela and did nothing. He let them run to the authorities, and because of that we lost five hundred points today. Five hundred, Renn! And for what? Because my Beta chose silence. Tell me, does that sound like someone fit to stand by my side?"

Renn lowered his head, unable to deny it. Kaito was right. But his heart ached for Alex, who looked broken under the weight of his Alpha’s words.

Kaito’s voice softened, but it carried more pain than anger now. "A Beta is the Alpha’s backbone. It is not just a title, Alex. You are me when I am not there. You are my confidence, my strength. I know you have your own life, your own friends to protect, but you cannot forget what you are. You are not just another wolf in this pack. You are my Beta. And you must put me before everything. Do you understand?"
