A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 155: A Trap?

He drove fast, like a man with nothing to lose, and he didn’t care about the consequences. Kaito’s mind was restless, chasing every possibility. The enemy they were facing was no ordinary one. This was someone clever, someone who knew the academy and everything that happened inside its walls.

That meant none of them were safe. If anyone was going to protect the academy and keep it standing, it had to be them, not Principal Valois. He couldn’t help but wonder how the other two groups were doing. Deep down he trusted that, no matter what, Hiro and Taros wouldn’t end up in the same mess as they were in now.

"I wish Hiro was here. He could have tried to reach Kael. I’m trying, but you know I’m not as good as him," Renn muttered, flipping through the papers in his hands.

"At least I caught the scent of the bastard who took Kael," Kaito said as he pulled into the school grounds. He forced himself not to think about Kael’s condition. Kael was strong. No matter what, he would handle himself.

"Yeah, but this town feels dead," Renn replied, his eyes roaming the quiet streets. The place had long recovered from the war between werewolves and humans years ago, but it was too calm, too slow. "I managed to translate the writing on the paper. It says something about labs and animals."

"It doesn’t make sense... at least not yet. But whatever it is, they’re ready to kill for it. Let’s get in there and uncover the truth," Kaito said firmly. He grabbed one of the guns, opened the car door, and stepped out.

The security guard was already waiting. Before the man could even lift his weapon, Kaito shot him twice in the legs. Another guard came rushing from behind, and Kaito didn’t hesitate. He fired without mercy, as if the man himself had been the one who kidnapped Kael. Two more burst out of the building, charging at him, but Renn took them down before they could get close.

They waited, guns raised, but no one else came. The silence stretched, heavy and unsettling. Kaito sharpened his senses, listening for the faintest sound. The air was still. Too still. It felt like they were the only ones left.

"We can go in," he said quietly, moving toward the corridor. But as he passed, his eyes fell on the first guard he had shot. The man was still alive, writhing in pain on the ground.

"He’s wearing sunglasses... at night?" Renn frowned in disbelief. He bent down, grabbed the torchlight beside the guard, and switched it on. The beam revealed the man’s face. His breathing was shallow, his body trembling, as if he was standing at the very edge of death.

"Who are you working for?" Kaito’s voice was sharp and heavy with threat, but the guard gave no reply. Kaito squatted and pulled the glasses off his face, and the sight before him made his blood run cold. The eyes staring back at him were not human, they were the same lifeless bluish eyes Evan had when they found his body.

Kaito staggered a step back, his gun aimed straight at the man. "These are the same eyes Evan had when we found him dead."
