A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 181: A Break?

"Did anyone speak to him? Or learn anything useful?" Kaito asked, his question open to the room. Angela’s chest clenched so tight she could hardly breathe. Her heart hammered against her ribs, so hard she thought it would burst out.

She wanted to say yes, to confess, but she could not. She would not endanger them. Mr. Slade had warned her in no uncertain terms not to tell anyone about their meeting.

"Cut to the chase, Kaito," Hiro said, his eyes suddenly sharp as they locked on Angela. "Why didn’t you tell us that you met him this morning and that he invited you somewhere?"

Angela froze, the blood draining from her face. His words crashed into her like stones. How could they possibly know? She had told no one. The boys had promised not to listen to her thoughts. Could they have broken that promise?

"Kaito found out about it," Renn said, pointing at him. "He overheard when you were talking. Taros did too."

"You were not planning to tell us. You wanted to go meet him on your own?" Kaito asked, his voice heavy with disappointment.

"I didn’t want to put more lives at risk. I can handle it myself," Angela said, her hand trembling. She knew she was caught, but her reason was true. She was still unsure of her decision. "And I haven’t even made up my mind about going to him."

"It doesn’t change anything, Angela. I know you were going to," Hiro said firmly.

"You were going to let me prepare everything tonight and then leave me behind?" Taros’s voice cracked with bitterness. "You should have told me about his invitation when I asked earlier, but you chose not to. You don’t trust me enough to face this with you."
