A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 72: The Black Van.

"You think I'm buying this?" Mr. Slade asked as he leaned back in his chair, rocking it slightly while pressing the

pen cap against his lips. Kaito wished he could walk up to him and shove that pen down his throat, but no. The

rules were clear. No laying hands on teachers. A stupid rule, but still a rule.

"We meant it," Kaito said, tilting his head to glance at the boys he had dragged into the office. They looked

pathetic, eyes lowered, faces heavy with guilt. They even had Kaito fooled for a second. If he hadn't been the

one who planned the whole act of fake apology, he might have believed them himself. "The boys are truly sorry.

That's why | brought them here. | want this to end in a mature way... without violence."

Mr. Slade studied them quietly for a moment, then shook his head. "I don’t buy it. These sboys cto my

office an hour ago—before | called you and Renn. | thought they were coming to apologize then. But no. They

refused."

He sat forward suddenly and pointed at Alex. "This one right here toldhe wasn’t wrong and wouldn't

apologize. So what changed? Do you think I'm that easy to fool?"

Kaito looked at Alex, who looked like he was about to cry. It took everything in him not to laugh out loud, but he

stayed in character. "I'm apologizing on their behalf because—"

"That's exactly why | don’t believe you," Mr. Slade cut in, chuckling bitterly before going stone cold. "You? You

never say sorry, not even when you're clearly wrong. And now you're here playing the hero? This whole thing is a

performance, isn’t it? Just another show from the famous Alpha of the West Pack."

"No, it’s not about me," Kaito said, his jaw tightening. He was doing everything to stay calm, for Angel's sake. If

not for him, he would have already flipped the whole room upside down. "I told them they can’t just go around

fighting and hurting people because they think they're right. That's not strength. That's foolishness."

"Where is the main villain of the story?" Mr. Slade looked around the room, clearly searching for Angel. He

already knew the boy hadn’t cto apologize. He had seen the stubbornness in his eyes earlier. "See? He's not

even here. And he’s the one who punched our poor Evan."

"His nis Angel," Kaito replied, trying not to let his voice rise. "He got sick after everything that happened

today, so | told him to stay back and rest."

He wished Mr. Slade would just take the apology and let them go. The more he talked, the more Kaito felt like

screaming. Was this man actually enjoying the sound of his own voice?

Mr. Slade made a long sound of thought and stared at the two boys in front of him. They had apologized as soon

as they walked in. Maybe that should be enough.

"Alright. | accept the apology," he finally said. "But you'll both make a video apologizing to Evan Thatcher. Once |

get it, I'll cancel the deduction of points from your houses. What do you say?"

The boys were ready to protest, but Kaito quickly raised a hand to stop them. He forced himself to smile and

spoke with a tone that barely passed as respectful. "Sure. They'll do it tomorrow morning. A big sorry to Evan. He

didn’t deserve what happened."

"Exactly, Kaito," Mr. Slade said as he opened a file on his desk. "Now, until then, please leave my office."

Kaito’s hands clenched at his sides. His nails dug into his palms as the man’s words sank in. The disrespect was

clear. Mr. Slade would never dare speak to him like that if not for this situation. But just as his eyes began to

glow, he noticed Mr. Slade looking up. He blinked fast, and the glow faded.

He didn’t say another word. He waited for the boys to walk out first, then followed them.

Once he stepped outside, he took a deep breath and let it out slowly. The air felt better out here. He had felt like

choking in there. The whole room had been heavy with tension.

"Now | understand why you don’t like him," Alex said as they walked down the stairs. He hated that he had

brought this whole mess to his Alpha and the pack. "I'm sorry."

"It’s okay, as long as you don’t act reckless again," Kaito replied as they stepped out of the Academic building.

He was about to say more when his eyes caught something odd—Principal Valois standing with a few men in

black suits. It looked like their meeting had just ended because a black van pulled up, and the men got into it.

Principal Valois spoke to them for a few seconds before the van began to move. At first, it crawled like every

normal vehicle leaving the school gates, but then, within moments, it sped off like it was carrying someone in

critical condition.

Kaito frowned. He had never seen those men before. Sure, people cand went from the principal's office, but

something about this felt different. The Alphas on the board were always introduced to new members, and if

there had been a change, they would have received a message. He didn’t get one. That meant his brothers

didn’t either.

"Who are those people?" Stales asked, watching the van disappear down the road.

"I have no idea," Kaito said, shaking his head. He turned to head in the direction of Principal Valois when Alex's

voice made him stop.

"Your dad is late?" Stales asked, surprised. They hadn't really spoken about personal things before. Now he

wished they had.

Kaito placed a hand gently on Alex’s shoulder. He had gone through something so painful at a young age. "That

was years ago and you still remember the van?"

"If you ask me, | think they had something to do with my dad’s death."
