A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy-Chapter 294: Completing The Bond V.

"Hiro is like that... you don’t even have to call his wolf’s name," Kael said quietly. "During sex, his wolf takes over whenever it gets the chance. From what I’ve heard, his eyes start turning red, then he growls, and his movements change completely."

"Exactly what happened," Angela replied. "At first, I liked it... but it got out of hand. I couldn’t take it anymore."

"You should have summoned your wolf or used your primal powers to match his energy," Kael said, leaning forward. "Or better still, you could have called his wolf by name and commanded him to stop. As his mate, you have that power."

"I didn’t know that," Angela murmured, rubbing her neck. Her eyes drifted toward the door, wondering where Hiro had gone. "I’ll do that next time."

"Next time?" Kael’s mouth fell open in disbelief.

"Yes," she said firmly. "I got scared earlier, but that doesn’t mean I’ll give up." Her voice grew stronger, her gaze steady. "We’ll work on it. Hiro and I."

Kael stared at her for a moment, then nodded and stood up. "Okay. I’ll get you something to drink."

"Where is he?" she asked.

"At my place, trying to cool off," Kael replied.

"I have to see him."

"I don’t think that’s a good idea," he said carefully.

Angela stood up from the couch. Her body was sore, her mind exhausted, but she refused to back down. The bond between them wasn’t complete yet, and she knew Hiro was probably blaming himself, thinking she hated him.

"Let’s go now," she ordered.

Kael hesitated, meeting her stern gaze.

"I’m commanding you as your Luna," Angela said, her tone sharp. "Are you taking me or not?"

Kael exhaled and gave a small bow. "As you wish, Luna."

"Don’t pretend," she snapped. "Your alpha ran out of here, and I know you saw him."

"Maybe I did," Kael sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Fine, I did. But why would you summon his wolf when you knew you couldn’t handle it?"

"I didn’t call his wolf’s name," Angela said quickly. "We were having a good time. I got too excited, told him to go faster... then he did but too fast, too rough." She paused, biting her lower lip as the memory flashed in her mind. "He was completely different. I didn’t expect it to turn out that way."

Hiro turned on the shower and leaned against the cold tiles, water streaming down his body as his mind burned with regret. He couldn’t believe what he had done. He had lost control—let his wolf take over—and now, all he could hear was Angela’s terrified scream echoing inside his head. It wouldn’t stop.

"Damn it," he muttered, his jaw tightening. He slammed his fist against the wall, pain shooting through his knuckles, but it didn’t ease the ache in his chest. He could still see her eyes, wide with fear, begging him to stop. He had crossed a line that could never be undone.

The guilt was crushing. He had hurt the one person he was supposed to protect. The thought of her hating him tore him apart. No apology would ever fix what he had done. No words could make her forgive a monster like him.

"Fuck," Hiro cursed again, dragging his wet hand through his hair. He turned off the water and grabbed a towel, wrapping it loosely around his waist before stepping out of the bathroom.

In the dim light of the living room, he moved toward the curtain and peered out, hoping—dreading—to see her leave. His heart clenched at the thought. Maybe it was better if she did. He didn’t deserve to face her. Not tonight.

He sighed and sank onto the sofa, his elbows resting on his knees, trying to block out the images replaying in his head. But his mind betrayed him, showing every moment, every sound, every mistake.

Finally, he grabbed his phone, his thumb hovering over the screen as he tried to type a message...something, anything...to say he was sorry.

But before he could, the doorknob turned.

The door creaked open, and Kael stepped inside, followed by Angela.

Hiro froze. His heart pounded painfully in his chest. He couldn’t even bring himself to look at her. He rose slowly from the sofa, his throat dry, knowing this night was about to break him completely.

Renn lay on the grass, staring up at the open sky. The breeze brushed against his face, but it didn’t calm the storm inside him. His mind was restless. He couldn’t stop thinking about his mother and the pain she had caused to the people he loved. Maybe fate had been right to separate them all those years ago. Maybe it was better that way.

He sighed, bitterness curling in his chest. He shouldn’t have gone looking for her. It would’ve been easier to live with the lie that she was dead.

"What’s up, Alpha?" Seraphina’s soft voice broke through his thoughts.

Renn turned his head and saw her smiling faintly as she sat beside him.

"Hey, Seraphina," he said, sitting up. Her presence surprised him. "Is something wrong?"

"Not really..." she murmured, twisting her fingers nervously. "I just have a little problem, and I don’t want to talk to Kaito about it. It’s more... personal."

"I understand," Renn nodded, giving her a small smile. "Go ahead."

Seraphina took a deep breath before speaking. "Okay. I think I’m in love with Marcus."

Renn blinked, not sure he heard her right.

"I don’t know if he feels the same way," she went on quickly. "But I really like him. A lot. I waited too long to tell Kaito how I felt, and he ended up falling in love with someone else. I’m happy for him...she’s his mate but still..."

"He wasn’t meant for you," Renn said gently. "Let’s just put it that way. I don’t think he ever felt anything deeper than friendship."

Seraphina sighed, her shoulders slumping. "I know. But it’s different with Marcus. His mate is gone, and I don’t think he has another. Maybe... maybe I could be that person for him."

Renn frowned slightly. "Do you love him that much?"

She nodded, her eyes downcast. "Yes. I’m just scared he might not want me." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Don’t jump to conclusions," Renn said. "If you love someone, tell them. If they don’t feel the same, then you walk away. Trust me, it’s better than keeping it locked inside."

Seraphina thought for a moment, then looked at him. "Would you have let go of Angela if she didn’t love you back? Or if she wasn’t your mate?"

Renn’s gaze shifted. "That’s different."

"Just answer me," she insisted, her voice quiet but firm.

He hesitated before finally saying, "It was a do-or-die affair between us. I was madly in love with her. If she didn’t accept me, I would have found a way into her heart. I wouldn’t have given up."

Seraphina stared at him, stunned by his honesty. She nodded slowly, trying to process his words.

"But don’t try that with Marcus," Renn warned softly.

"You don’t get to tell me what to do," she snapped, standing up.

"Wait—" he called out, but she was already walking toward the house, her blonde hair glowing under the evening light.

Renn sighed, watching her disappear inside. Something told him this wasn’t the end of it. Whatever she was planning, it involved Marcus and he had a feeling it wasn’t going to end well for her.
