A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 242: Her Decision!

A cold shiver ran down her spine, her heartbeat quickened as she listened to the conversation between her father and Principal Valois. The woman knew about her, and she was going to hand her over tomorrow.

The thought alone made her chest tighten. Her breath came uneven and harsh. With her hand pressed against her chest, Angela stumbled to the door, struggling to breathe. She pushed it open and stepped outside, but Alex followed quickly.

"Breathe... take a deep breath," he whispered, his eyes full of worry as he held her arm firmly. Angela tried, inhaling sharply and letting it out in shaky bursts. "Yes, that’s it.

Before she could steady herself, Renn rushed forward and gathered her into his arms. "What happened? Don’t be afraid, Angela. We will find a way," he promised.

"She knew all along," Angela said with trembling lips. "Principal Valois was only waiting for the right time to hand me over."

"No one could see her true intentions, but now we know," Renn said as he cupped her cheeks, his eyes steady on hers. "I’ll fix this. You don’t have to worry anymore."

Angela’s chest ached as she looked at him. "How can you fix it? How are you going to stop this?" She had already thought of running away if she couldn’t fight Marcus. It felt like the only way to keep everyone from being dragged into her mess.

"I will talk to the principal," Renn said firmly.

"Why would she listen to you?" Angela asked, confused and desperate to understand.
