A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 228: I am In Pain, Kaito.

Angela stared at him for a long moment, praying he would drown in her eyes and give in to complete the bond. But instead of giving her what she hoped for, he burst into laughter, laughing like he had lost his mind. Her brows drew together in confusion as she pulled away from him.

"Have you really gone mad? I knew you were called the lunatic Alpha, but I didn’t know it was this serious," she teased.

"You know it now. But why would you even try to seduce me?" Hiro asked, his hands spread apart, his head tilted as if trying to make sense of her. He had almost fallen for her touch, a fire that burned straight through him, one that he longed to quench. Still, he forced himself to resist. "Why?"

Angela tried to hold back her laugh but it bubbled out of her chest. The sound was too sweet, too genuine, and he found himself joining in against his will. She shook her head with a teasing smile. "You cannot be serious. I have not even started, yet you are already complaining."

"Then try harder, because it is not working," Hiro lied, his voice low and strained. Every part of him was fighting the urge to pull her into his arms and tear the thin fabric that covered her body.

"Really?" Angela whispered. She reached up, pulling off her wig and letting her long hair fall in waves down her back. She ran her fingers through it, pushing it over to one side as her hazel eyes locked on him. She bit her lower lip and slowly dragged her hand from the base of her neck down to her chest, making his breath catch.

Hiro could only stare, his eyes wide, his mouth falling open without him realizing it. He had never seen this side of her. She was stunning, so stunning that he forgot how to breathe.

His mind reeled. When had her hair grown this long? And then it struck him...there was no binding beneath the shirt she wore. The way her hand slid between the thin fabric gave her away, and his eyes betrayed him by lingering. Her pointed nipples pressed against the cloth, daring him to claim what he had sworn to resist.

Angela took a step closer, her smile soft yet daring. "How about we make this a beautiful evening?" she whispered, her lips brushing against his.

He fought it at first, lips stubbornly sealed, but then he surrendered. His hands moved to her back, pulling her close, his touch both careful and desperate.

He kissed her slowly, carefully, as if she might break if he pressed too hard. It was soft, calm, and full of restraint, and it made her wonder if he had always carried this hidden tenderness, or if it had awakened only now.

"No, Angela," Hiro murmured, breaking the kiss, though he still held her as if he could not let go. "Let me do this because I want to, not because I want to please you or anyone else."

You are not telling me anything that makes sense. You do not trust me no matter what I say. I

do so. "We cannot walk this path together. You already have three of my brothers as your mates. There may be more later. I refuse to be tangled in all
