A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 249: An Attack?

"So why are you telling me this?" Angela stammered, her eyes burning with anger. She didn’t even know if it was because of what Renn had done or because the woman standing in front of her was actually his mother. "Why do you even care that I should know?"

"I’ve been in your position before, Angela," Principal Valois said. The wind brushed across her face, making her red curls dance around her shoulders. Looking at her, one wouldn’t think she was lying. "People lie when they know you love them. When they see how vulnerable you are. Men are not worthy of our love."

Angela’s chest tightened. "Do you even realize what you’re saying?" she asked, covering her face with her palms, though no tears came. Her face burned with anger. She wanted to slap this woman, to storm off and face Renn herself. "I knew you had a son in this academy, but it never crossed my mind that it was him. I thought the bond between you two was different... not by blood."

Principal Valois shook her head slowly, her eyes filled with regret. "I’m sorry that you were deceived. It wasn’t my intention. Renn refused to let me tell you or his brothers. He wanted to keep it a secret, but I couldn’t anymore. I’ve already told the others. I only hope you can forgive me."

Angela clenched her fists, her phone gripped tightly in her hand. "I don’t care that you’re his mother," she said sharply. "You shouldn’t have told me if Renn didn’t want to."

The woman froze for a moment, surprised by Angela’s calmness. Principal Valois nodded weakly, her throat tight. She had expected Angela to lash out, but instead, the girl’s silence spoke louder than anger.

Angela’s phone beeped. "Excuse me," she muttered, turning away. Her heart felt unbearably heavy after everything she had just learned. Renn had lied to her. After promising there would be no secrets, he still hid something this big. Did she really mean so little to him?

She opened the message. It was from Alex. For a moment, she wanted to tell him everything that had just happened, but then she read his text.
