A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 164: Principal Jane.

They arrived at the principal’s house, and Renn knocked gently, waiting for an answer. For a long moment, there was no response, and just when Kaito was about to knock again, the door creaked open. A heavyset woman stood there with a stick in her hand, her face stern as though she was ready to strike whoever dared disturb her. But when her eyes landed on two strangers, she froze, lowering the stick just before it could swing, her voice sharp with suspicion as she asked who they were and what they wanted.

"Principal Jane, right?" Renn asked softly, forcing a smile in the hope that she would see they meant no harm.

Her frown deepened, and she crossed her arms. "That depends on who is asking. Who are you?"

"We are Angela’s friends. We came from the academy..." Kaito began, but before he could explain, the woman turned, already moving back inside, clearly not interested in hearing them out. Renn quickly held the door before she could close it. His eyes glowed with a quiet warning, and for a moment she was left speechless.

"We truly come in peace," Renn said in a calm but firm voice. "Please, just give us a chance to talk."

She hesitated, her hand tight on the doorframe, but in the end, she stepped aside. "Come in then," she muttered.

The boys entered the house. The living room was small but every wall seemed alive with memories. There were more framed pictures than they had ever seen in one place, almost like a gallery of moments she could not let go of. Kaito sat down quietly while Renn chose to remain standing, his eyes wandering over the photographs.

"You said you came in peace," she asked again, her voice low and uncertain, her eyes moving from one of them to the other as if searching for a hidden threat.

"Yes, ma. I am Kaito, and this is my brother, Renn," he answered.

"I am Principal Jane... Angela’s former principal," she said as she lowered herself onto the sofa opposite them. Her eyes flicked toward Renn. "Can he sit down? I would feel more comfortable if he did."

"Of course," Kaito replied, and Renn sat beside him at last. From the quiet weight in the house and the photos surrounding them, Renn could already tell she lived alone. Yet in almost every frame, there was a man by her side, smiling with her, holding her hand, standing close as though they were once inseparable. It was easy to guess he had been her husband, though he was no longer here.

Her expression tightened as she looked at them again. "Did she get caught at the academy? Because I know nothing about her admission," she said quickly, the denial spilling from her too fast. Her eyes darted away from theirs, afraid of what they might see if she held their gaze too long.
