A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 246: It Had To Work.

"I am serious. I will find a way," Angela said with all the strength she had left. She broke free from the hug and looked deep into Hiro’s eyes. He seemed to be awake from his illusions now, his face hollow and defeated. There was no sign of hope anywhere, but she refused to give up. She had to do something.

Then Mighty-Storm gave her idea.

Dave sat in the corner, his head in his hands. He couldn’t even look at Kael. He had believed with all his heart that the cure would work, that they would save Kael and use it to help the other affected students. Now all that belief had turned to ashes in his mouth.

Angela walked to the bed and sat beside Kael. His eyes were shut, his skin cold, and his body lifeless. She could barely hold herself together as her hands trembled above him. Her mates were whispering, asking what she was doing, but she didn’t say a word.

Closing her eyes, she shut the link in her mind and prayed to the moon goddess. Her lips trembled as she spoke softly in her heart. "I know we have never been close. I know I’ve doubted you. But please don’t let this happen to Kael. He’s been nothing but kind to me. He’s been a friend to Hiro when no one else was. If this is my fault, then punish me, not him. Take something from me and give him life. Don’t let him die because of me. Please, moon goddess. Please."

Angela opened her eyes, clinging to the hope that he would stir, that he would breathe. But he didn’t. He lay still, and the silence in the room cut through her like a blade. She pressed her lips into a thin line, her heart sinking with disappointment. It was as if the moon goddess had laughed at her prayer.

What was she thinking? That the goddess cared about her at all? Storm’s plan had failed, and now Kael was gone. Her heart cracked open a little more as she rose to leave the room, but before she could take a step, Taros moved quickly and stopped her.
