A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 143: Who Is Marcus?

Angela swallowed hard. She knew she had to tell the truth to the others, even though Renn did not want her to. They seemed so interested in the matter, but she didn’t want to betray him.

"Look at them," Renn said, trying to shift the attention. "They are more interested in me than the matter at hand."

"I don’t know why you all keep cutting me off," Hiro sighed, sounding hurt. "It feels like no one cares about what I’m saying."

"It’s true. We already have so many problems waiting for us," Alex added, looking at Hailey for support. She nodded, and he continued, "You can question Renn and Angela later. Right now, we don’t have time."

"We’ll come back to this later," Kaito said, ending the argument as he looked away. Angela’s eyes went to Alex, full of gratefulness. He had saved her from the rising pressure. "So, where were we?"

"The guard shot him with a bullet made for Alphas. That means he knew Hiro was coming," Renn concluded.

"Exactly," Hiro said firmly. "After I got shot, he told me I shouldn’t have come here. He knew I was after Angela. So the real question is, what’s Angela’s connection with them?"

All eyes turned to her. Nobody blamed her, but they all wanted answers. Angela felt her heart racing. This was strange for her. She had run from home because her uncle wanted to sell her. She never thought there were people secretly watching her all along.

"I’m sorry you got shot because you went looking for information about me," Angela said softly, her voice filled with guilt. She looked at Hiro with worry. "But you have to believe me when I say I don’t know who those people are. I don’t know why they were there or what they were protecting."

"Are you sure, babe?" Renn asked as he walked to her. He took her hand, but then Taros slid his arm around her waist, pulling her closer. "Come on, man. Don’t start. Why are drawing her to your side?"

"This matter is more serious than your little romance," Hailey said coldly, not looking at them, though her words were clear enough. She pressed further. "So, Angela, are you saying you don’t remember meeting any stranger? Maybe someone who seemed nice and harmless?"

"No," Angela shook her head. "Back home, I used to fight a lot..."

"I’m not surprised," Hiro muttered with a dry chuckle.

Angela rolled her eyes at him and continued. "I had no friends. My mom and uncle were the only ones I knew. Everyone here knows the story and why I ran away from home. There was never any stranger coming around. The kids at school were the same ones I grew up with. That’s all I ever knew."
