A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 210: You Like Her.

His brows knitted as he looked down at the pretty girl in front of him. She was clearly annoyed, and it bothered him more than he wanted to admit. Kaito knew he had to keep pretending, because if Angela found out what Mr. Slade had said, she would not rest until she proved herself right. She would throw herself into the middle of it and do whatever it took to keep everyone safe. That was who she was, and that was what scared him most.

"Something is going on and you think I don’t have the right to know?" Angela asked, frowning deeply. Her tone was sharp, her patience already gone.

"Nothing is going on. I just want you to be extra careful," he said, trying to smile, but it only fueled her anger. She hit his chest with her hand, muttering in frustration. "Hey, can you calm down? You have a date to get ready for."

"It’s none of your business," she hissed, walking toward the couch. She picked up the new hat Hiro had given her last week. She hadn’t expected it, but she loved it the moment she saw it. Hugging it close, she turned back to him. "Since you’re keeping things from me, I don’t want you to take me there. I’ll go myself."

"What?" Kaito’s voice caught, his eyes wide in shock.

Angela met his stare as if his reaction didn’t affect her, but the small curve at the edge of her lips betrayed her. "I don’t want you to know my things either. Stay away."

"Don’t you think I’ve tried?" Kaito asked as he walked closer. He reached for her hand, but she pushed him away. He sighed, then put both his hands behind his back. "Fine. I’ll keep my distance."

The sight of him holding back made her chest ache. She wanted to tell him that wasn’t what she meant, but her pride kept her quiet.

"I’m allowing you to go to Taros," he said, his voice low and strained. "But if you asked me for my honest answer, it would be no. No, even if it meant locking you in this room. But I can’t do that. I couldn’t live with myself knowing I hurt you."

"I know, Kaito." She rubbed her neck, the nervous habit showing her frustration. "None of us wanted this, but I have to do it. If I don’t, it will ruin everything. Losing any of you would leave a hole in my heart I could never fill."
