A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 206: Stubborn Hiro.

Angela finished her practice on time and waited outside for Samuel who promised to drop her off. She glanced at her wristwatch and saw there was still enough time to get home and dress up. Tonight was going to be long, and she needed to prepare herself.

A smile spread across her face when she remembered who she was meeting. Taros. He was taking her on one of his beautiful adventures. She could already feel the rush in her chest, knowing how he always turned the night into something unforgettable. With him, surprises were never small.

Just then she spotted Hiro and Kael walking out of the gym. Angela waved and called to them. She was about to walk toward them when Hiro broke away and made his way to her first. She stood still, waiting, excitement mixing with nerves.

When he reached her, he didn’t give her a chance to speak. His hand slid around her waist and pulled her against him. The suddenness left her breathless. Her hands pressed lightly against his chest, her heart racing as she whispered in panic, "We will get caught."

"I don’t care," Hiro murmured, his voice low and dangerous. He held her tighter and brought his face close, brushing his fingers from her cheek down to her lips, making her shiver. "You pretty little thing."

His eyes trapped her. Angela found herself drowning in his blue gaze. They weren’t as charming as Taros, yet they carried a beauty that weakened her guard, reminding her how easy it was to fall for him all over again.

"I haven’t tasted your lips in a while," Hiro whispered, his gaze fixed on her mouth. Desire flared in her, her body aching for his touch, but she swallowed hard, fighting the storm inside her.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a few students wandering about. Their movements were strange, clumsy, almost unnatural. One boy’s bag kept slipping from his shoulder and he picked it up again and again as if lost in a daze. Angela’s stomach tightened. Something wasn’t right.

"The boys are watching. Let go of me," she urged.

"Yes, they’re watching," Hiro said with a sly smile, "but that doesn’t mean they know what they’re watching."

Her brows pulled together in confusion. She looked around again and saw it clearer now. Every boy around them looked like a puppet without strings, walking without direction, eyes empty. That was when it hit her. This was no coincidence. It was his doing.

"You are messing with their minds," Angela whispered in shock. It had been so long since she saw him use his powers, and now she understood what Stales meant that day they visited Hiro at the alpha pit. "You should put them back to normal."

"No baby, let them be," Hiro said, his lips almost touching hers. For a moment she thought he was going to kiss her, so she closed her eyes, but instead he let her go. "Fine. I will listen to you."

Her eyes flew open. "What?" She looked around and saw everything shift back to normal. The students walked past them, some heading into the gym, and the boy whose bag had kept falling finally made his way to the combat hall without trouble. Angela turned back to him, her voice sharp. "Why did you do that?"

"You told me to stop." He chuckled, looking down at her. She rolled her eyes, and he brushed her cheek with his fingers before pulling away.

"It’s been a while since you used your powers," she muttered, unable to hide her curiosity. "Why didn’t you use them on Marcus the other day?"

expression hardened. He stared at her as if she didn’t understand the danger she was speaking of. "You want me to play with the mind of a Malynster who has lived more than six hundred years? If something went wrong, I wouldn’t only have to protect myself. I would have to protect you, Stales, and Samuel.

tightened. She knew he was right. Thinking back on Marcus, she realized how foolish her words were. There was too much risk, and she had always known it. "I was just joking," she said softly, trying to hide her unease.
