A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 229: We Are Fucked.

"You want to talk?" Kaito asked as they walked toward the Alpha’s pit. He glanced at his brother, his voice calm. "It’s not really necessary, but if you feel like it, I’ll listen."

"Thank you, Kaito. I appreciate what you’re doing," Hiro nodded, his eyes fixed on the ground beneath his feet. The weight in his chest grew heavier as he finally let out what he had been holding in. "I don’t want to claim Angela, and I don’t understand why she can’t see that."

Kaito gave a slow nod, as though he had been expecting this. "I get it. But do you have a reason? You know what happens to lone wolves. Why would you want to take that path?"

"I just can’t share my mate," Hiro admitted, his voice breaking with pain. He stopped, pressing his hands to his waist as he let out a deep, tired sigh. "No matter how much I try, I can’t accept it. And she doesn’t understand. It feels like I’m being pushed into something I can’t live with."

"Is that all?" Kaito asked with a faint smile, though his eyes stayed serious.

"There’s more," Hiro muttered, shaking his head. "I don’t believe she can love all four of us the same way. It’s not possible." He shrugged and started walking again.

Kaito fell into step beside him as they passed the North house. He noticed the way Hiro’s eyes lingered on it before he spoke. "Maybe she can. I already feel it, and I think she does too."

"Oh please, Kaito," Hiro scoffed, rolling his eyes. "That’s not realistic. And even if it is, it won’t last. Things will change when we graduate. We’re from four different packs. How could she possibly live with all of us?"

"That’s true," Kaito admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. The thought had never really crossed his mind before, and now it weighed on him. "I have no idea how it would even work. But still... I like the way you think, little brother. You’re always a step ahead."
