A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 148: Mother/Son’s Discussion.

Renn wanted to say no, but at the last moment he changed his mind and stayed behind. Maybe this was his chance to get something out of her about Evan’s case. As soon as the others were gone, she turned to him and asked quietly, "Have you told them about us?"

"Why should I do that?" Renn replied, his arms folded tightly across his chest, his brows pulled together in anger. "You want me to tell them that my mother is alive and that she is Principal Valois?"

Her silence burned through her. Hearing him say those words cut deep into her heart. She knew it would never be easy to win him back.

"Did you think I would welcome you with open arms after you left me all those years ago?" Renn asked, his voice heavy with pain. He hated how the memories rushed back, the scars of his childhood reopening. "You claim to be my mother, but you were never there. You gave me away to my father the moment I was born. You chose everyone else over me, and now you want me to see you as a mother?"

"I know I failed you," Valois whispered, forcing herself to meet his eyes. "I am asking for a second chance to redeem myself." She could see the anger he had carried for years, the hurt that only grew deeper with time. She wondered if it would ever fade or if it had already carved itself into him forever.

"Second chance?" Renn’s voice rose as his chest tightened. "Did you ask me before you left? Did you care what I wanted back then?" She shook her head, tears already falling. "So why do you need my permission now?"

"You don’t understand. I had my own battles," she said, standing slowly. She walked toward him, her hand trembling as she tried to touch his face, but he shoved it away.

"Don’t," Renn said sharply. "You missed that chance years ago. You knew how cruel that family was, yet you ran and left me there. What kind of mother does that? I don’t need your excuses. I don’t need a mother. And Dad... I don’t rely on him either."
