A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 206: Stubborn Hiro.

Angela finished her practice on tand waited outside for Samuel who promised to drop her off. She glanced at

her wristwatch and saw there was still enough tto get hand dress up. Tonight was going to be long, and

she needed to prepare herself.

A smile spread across her face when she remembered who she was meeting. Taros. He was taking her on one of

his beautiful adventures. She could already feel the rush in her chest, knowing how he always turned the night

into something unforgettable. With him, surprises were never small.

Just then she spotted Hiro and Kael walking out of the gym. Angela waved and called to them. She was about to

walk toward them when Hiro broke away and made his way to her first. She stood still, waiting, excitement

mixing with nerves.

When he reached her, he didn’t give her a chance to speak. His hand slid around her waist and pulled her

against him. The suddenness left her breathless. Her hands pressed lightly against his chest, her heart racing as

she whispered in panic, "We will get caught."

"I don’t care," Hiro murmured, his voice low and dangerous. He held her tighter and brought his face close,

brushing his fingers from her cheek down to her lips, making her shiver. "You pretty little thing."

His eyes trapped her. Angela found herself drowning in his blue gaze. They weren't as charming as Taros, yet

they carried a beauty that weakened her guard, reminding her how easy it was to fall for him all over again.

"I haven't tasted your lips in a while," Hiro whispered, his gaze fixed on her mouth. Desire flared in her, her body

aching for his touch, but she swallowed hard, fighting the storm inside her.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a few students wandering about. Their movements were strange,

clumsy, almost unnatural. One boy’s bag kept slipping from his shoulder and he picked it up again and again as

if lost in a daze. Angela’s stomach tightened. Something wasn't right.

"The boys are watching. Let go of me," she urged.

"Yes, they're watching," Hiro said with a sly smile, "but that doesn’t mean they know what they’re watching."

Her brows pulled together in confusion. She looked around again and saw it clearer now. Every boy around them

looked like a puppet without strings, walking without direction, eyes empty. That was when it hit her. This was no

coincidence. It was his doing.

"You are messing with their minds," Angela whispered in shock. It had been so long since she saw him use his

powers, and now she understood what Stales meant that day they visited Hiro at the alpha pit. "You should put

them back to normal."

"No baby, let them be," Hiro said, his lips almost touching hers. For a moment she thought he was going to kiss

her, so she closed her eyes, but instead he let her go. "Fine. | will listen to you."

Her eyes flew open. "What?" She looked around and saw everything shift back to normal. The students walked

past them, sheading into the gym, and the boy whose bag had kept falling finally made his way to the

combat hall without trouble. Angela turned back to him, her voice sharp. "Why did you do that?"

"You toldto stop." He chuckled, looking down at her. She rolled her eyes, and he brushed her cheek with his

fingers before pulling away.

"It's been a while since you used your powers," she muttered, unable to hide her curiosity. "Why didn’t you use

them on Marcus the other day?"

Hiro’s expression hardened. He stared at her as if she didn’t understand the danger she was speaking of. "You

wantto play with the mind of a Malynster who has lived more than six hundred years? If something went

wrong, | wouldn't only have to protect myself. | would have to protect you, Stales, and Samuel. What if | failed?"

Angela’s throat tightened. She knew he was right. Thinking back on Marcus, she realized how foolish her words

were. There was too much risk, and she had always known it. "I was just joking," she said softly, trying to hide

her unease. "So, where are you going now?"

"To my dorms. Do you want to cwith me?" Hiro asked, winking at her. His teasing look sent heat rushing

through her body, but she forced herself to ignore it.

"No. | have something to do tonight. | want us to spend ttogether when—"

"Well, if you think | am going to claim you then you are joking." His mischievous smile struck her like a blade.

Angela froze, her chest burning. "You are the one joking, right?" She crossed her arms tightly, anger boiling in

her veins as he shook his head. "You are the only one left to complete the bond tomorrow. Why won't you do it?

You are my mate. Don’t forget that."

"I know," Hiro said, running his hand through his hair. He turned to look at Kael who was waiting a few steps

away. "But | am not doing it."

"You wanted it a few days ago, remember? We got interrupted," Angela reminded him, hoping he had not

forgotten.

"Yes, | remember. But the case was different, love."

Her frustration rose with every word. She was hurt, but she needed to understand. "What has changed?"

"You have been claimed. | can’t share you with my brother. | told you that before," Hiro said, stepping back. "If

you were unclaimed, then | would have you for myself."

"So you only wanted to claimfor that reason?" Angela’s voice trembled with pain as tears burned her eyes.

She tried to fight them back, but her heart was breaking. "You never liked me. You never wantedas your

mate."

"Let's not go there. | cannot share you, and | will stand on my words," Hiro said firmly.

Her lips quivered as she whispered, "What about the curse?"

"I don’t mind keeping it. It is a reminder of how the goddess ruined our lives," Hiro said coldly, before turning to

leave.

Angela stood frozen, his words echoing in her chest. She refused to run after him, refused to beg or cry for a

chance when he had already made his decision. Still, she knew his choice would affect not just them but

everyone. Her thoughts rushed to Kaito’s warning earlier, and fear crept in. What if the consequences were

worse than she imagined?

She turned to walk away but stopped when she saw Renn’s car pulling up. Quickly, she wiped her tears and tried

to steady herself.

The car cto a halt, and Renn stepped out. He called Hiro’s nbut got no answer. His eyes shifted to

Angela’s face, reading the pain she was trying to hide.

"What happened?" Renn asked, his face tight with worry. Then he sighed as if the answer was already clear. "Let
