A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 198: Why Is There Tension?

The bell rang and Angela stirred awake. She tried to move but a sharp pain burned in her neck, forcing her hand up to squeeze the sore spot. It was the way she had slept, curled up awkwardly against the bed.

She was still on the floor, her arm resting against the mattress for support. When her eyes drifted to the couch, her chest tightened. No one was there. The boys had left. It couldn’t have been long ago because she had barely slept. She remembered dozing off only around three in the morning.

Angela pushed herself up slowly. Every bone in her body ached from the weight of yesterday. She hadn’t believed she would even find the strength to stand after everything that happened, but somehow she did.

Her gaze fell to the bed and her heart sank. Kaito was still unconscious. She had hoped, prayed even, that he would be awake by morning. The boys had promised he would be fine, but here he was, still lost in sleep.

Her hand hovered above him, tempted to touch, but fear from yesterday’s events held her back. She had to protect herself. She had to stay strong for her friends, for the pack depending on her.

"Did I interrupt anything?" Alex’s voice came from the doorway.

Angela pulled her hand back quickly. "No... welcome," she murmured, trying to smile but failing. Her lips trembled with the effort.

"You can go ahead and touch him," Alex said as he walked toward her. "It’s over. He’s back to normal."

Her eyes widened. "Really?" She wanted to believe him. Alex was her best friend; he would never lie to her. With a shaky breath, she placed her hand on Kaito. Nothing happened. The storm she feared did not return. Her head snapped toward Alex, relief shining in her eyes.
