A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 212: Take Charge.

Angela walked beside him as they were led by one of the workers. She did not know what to expect but he showed them around with a quiet grace. The interior of the hotel left her speechless. She had never seen anything like this in her town. Everything felt new, almost unreal.

A key was given to Taros when they entered the elevator. The man wanted to follow but Taros refused, leaving them alone when the doors closed. Silence filled the space. Angela felt her throat tighten. She wondered what he was thinking because he was always so quiet around her.

In the woods the other day he had been different, wild and untamed, ready to claim her without caring about the world. The memory brought a shy smile to her lips and her breath caught. She cleared her throat and dared to look up at him. His eyes were already on her. She wanted to melt under that gaze. How could anyone get used to those beautiful bluish eyes that seemed to strip her soul bare? They could make any girl lose herself with just one look.

"Do I look bad?" Taros asked suddenly. Her lips parted but before she could answer, the elevator opened. They stepped out together and he added, "You kept staring at me, so I thought maybe I do not look good tonight."

"No... no... you are handsome. And with those clothes on, I think you look so... takeaway," Angela said softly. He was wearing a green cotton shirt that made his skin glow, light trousers, and black shoes. She doubted he even knew how incredible he looked tonight.

When the room door opened, he let her step in first. Angela froze at the sight before her. The room was beautiful, its decoration glowing with warmth. Red roses lay across the floor, forming a trail that led to the balcony. She laughed in surprise and turned to him. "I cannot believe this. Did you do all of this?"

"No. I paid them to," Taros admitted with a little scratch at the back of his head, then walked toward the balcony. Everything looked just the way he wanted. The hotel workers had done their job well.

Angela followed, her eyes wide as she looked out. "The city looks so beautiful from here. I like it, Taros."

"I am glad you do," he answered, smiling as he watched her. She had no idea how every little thing she did, every word, every laugh, made him fall deeper. "Do you like sightseeing?"

"I don’t know," Angela shrugged, her voice soft. "We don’t have things like this in my town, so when I see it, I get speechless."

"I understand. We were all born after the war, and from what Renn said, your town is still struggling to recover from the damage."

She nodded as she moved toward the table. It was decorated beautifully, meant only for the two of them. "Wow... the table looks so nice."
