A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 169: People looking for her

Taros saw how clingy Angela had been with Hiro earlier. He tried to push it aside, but the picture kept coming

back to him. Each the remembered, his chest tightened and his wolf stirred, begging him to strike Hiro. He

almost gave in, almost lost control, but he forced himself to stay calm. This wasn’t the right tfor a fight.

He had already contributed in ruining Angela’s birthday two days ago, and guilt still weighed heavy on him. He

wanted to make it right, to tell her he was sorry again, but that would have to wait until the problems before

them were solved.

"What happened?" Hailey asked after a long silence. They had been driving for several minutes, and it was

strange for him not to say a word.

"I'm fine," Taros said, forcing a small smile while keeping his eyes on the road. Slade sat quietly in the back seat,

scrolling through his phone.

"That's not true," Hailey pressed, studying him. "Something’s wrong, and I think it has to do with your mate."

She tilted her head knowingly. "You're jealous because she’s with Hiro."

"I never said that," Taros muttered, rolling his eyes. He pulled into the academy and drove straight toward the

staff quarters. "I'll drop you off at your sister's."

"Do | even have a choice?" Hailey sighed, clearly displeased. She and her sister were not on good terms, and

after seeing her with the boys tonight, Miss Valois hadn't been happy either. Hailey knew her sister would have

dragged her away if the others hadn't stopped her.

"You should try to fix things with her. She's the only family you have left. Don’t forget that," Taros said gently.

Family meant everything to him. His parents had raised him with peace and unity, and he carried those values

with him.

"I know, but you don’t understand what she’s done."

"You never told me," Taros reminded her. "I've asked many times, but you always keep it to yourself." He slowed

as they reached the staff quarters. The principal's house stood tall, a three-storey building. He couldn't help but

wonder if Miss Valois ever felt lonely living in such a big place all by herself.

"Well, she keeps things from me. Important family matters, like I'm still a child," Hailey said bitterly, though she

stopped short of explaining further. In her eyes, her sister had always been a liar. No matter how many chances

she gave her, she always ended up disappointed.

"Like what?" Taros asked. "You should tell me, letbe the judge. Maybe she was only trying to protect you."

Even as he said it, Taros couldn't believe he was defending Miss Valois. A woman whose life was buried in

mystery after the curse of the goddess. No one knew the truth of what she had done or why she was punished.

All people had were stories—half-truths that painted her as both victim and villain.

Hailey swallowed hard, struggling with the weight of his question. She wanted to escape instead of lying to him.

When she turned, she saw that Slade was still busy with his phone, not paying attention to them.

She reached for the car door to step out without answering, but just then Taros’s phone rang.

"Look, your phone is ringing," she said quickly, pointing at his pocket.

Taros let out a deep sigh as he pulled the phone out. When he saw the caller, his chest tightened. "It's Renn."

Slade stopped scrolling and leaned forward, watching closely. He paid full attention when Taros answered and put

the call on speaker.

"Hello, Renn," Taros said.

"Something happened. Kael isn’t feeling well," Renn’s voice cthrough, tense and uneasy. It sounded serious,

and Taros felt his stomach twist.

"What's wrong with him?" Taros asked, his worry clear in his eyes.

"Long story, man. Just go get Hiro and cto the school hospital. We're entering the academy now," Renn

rushed out, and before Taros could say another word, the call ended.

"What the heck, Renn?" Taros cursed, slamming his hand against the steering wheel. His jaw clenched as he

quickly reversed the car and turned toward the path that led to the dorms.

"Kael is sick?" Slade muttered in shock. He hadn't expected that. The boy had been perfectly fine earlier before

leaving Mistvale.

"Yes, i saw him," Hailey replied, her voice uneasy. She was just as surprised. "Renn said it's a long story, which

means something bad happened."

"That's not good at all," Slade said under his breath as he ran his hand through his hair, tension on his face. The

air in the car grew heavy as they headed straight for the South Dormitory to get Hiro.

"Have you found the girl?" the Patriarch asked. He stood in the thick woods with his back to her, his voice low

and cold. Miss Valois shook her head, unable to say the word no, but he already knew. "Then why did you

summonnow?"

"I need your help, please," Miss Valois whispered, her hands trembling. The thought of asking him for help again

made her sick. Every tshe cto him, she sank deeper into his debt, forced to do his dark errands.

The Patriarch laughed, and the sound rolled through the forest like thunder. Her chest tightened, her pulse

racing. What if the students nearby heard him and cout? What if they saw her here with him?

"It’s urgent, or | would not have called you," she said, her voice shaking.

"What do you want this time?"

"Marcus. He won't leavealone. He keeps asking about a girl with a crescent mark. | told him there’s no such

person here, but he doesn’t believe me."

The Patriarch went still. "A crescent mark? Then he’s looking for a Malynster." He turned slowly, though his hood

still hid his face. "Maybe his daughter."

"Daughter?" she repeated, confused.

"Yes. But why does he think she’s here?"

"I don’t know. He claims his source told him, but | swear she is not here."

A cold shiver ran down her spine. She could not face war. She could not even face Marcus alone. She wiped the

sweat from her forehead, her hands shaking. "Can you help me?"

Miss Valois froze. His words made her heart twist. What did he mean, everyone who hunts her? Who else was

searching for this girl? And why? Why were so many after one she-wolf?
