A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy-Chapter 309: Shut It, Kaito!

The car stopped in front of the south pack house that belonged to the Alpha. Kaito got down immediately to open the door for him, but Hiro was already out, walking straight toward the entrance of the mansion.

"He scared me," Kaito sighed, running a hand through his hair. He glanced at the car, checking carefully to make sure nothing seemed off. After everything that happened, he knew he had to stay alert and protect himself and his brothers.

"Hiro is acting weird," Taros said quietly as his eyes followed Hiro’s back. They all knew the pain he was going through. It was as if the news he received today had opened up the wounds from his past. "Should we be worried?"

"I don’t know, Taros. I really have no idea what’s going on anymore," Kaito said in a low tone. His gaze drifted to the pack members nearby, who were peeking through their windows and doors. "Whenever I think things are finally going well, it turns out to be the opposite. Maybe we’re just meant to live through this chaos forever."

Taros nodded slowly, not knowing what else to say. The silence between them grew heavy until Kael came out of the house to meet them. His face was filled with worry and confusion, wanting to understand what had happened to make his Alpha react that way.

"He went to his parents’ room and locked himself in," Kael said, his eyes shifting from one person to another. The two brothers looked at each other briefly before turning to him.

"Why would he lock himself in? That’s not good at all," Taros said, worry written all over his face. For a moment, fear crept into his mind that Hiro might hurt himself, but then he shook it off. Hiro wouldn’t do that—not until he found the people responsible.

"He always does that when he’s sad," Kael added quietly.

"Oh, that’s much better," Kaito sighed, leaning against the car. He didn’t want to go inside yet. Someone might come to the car and notice something was wrong, and he couldn’t risk that right now.

"What happened? He looked so broken, but I couldn’t ask. He won’t talk to me," Kael said, his voice low with worry. He wanted to know what had happened, but at the same time, he feared the answer.

"Hiro found out that his parents were murdered," Kaito said at last, slipping both hands into his pockets. His tone was calm, but there was pain in his eyes.

"W-what?" Kael stuttered, staring at him in disbelief. "I thought it was an accident." His brows furrowed as he tried to make sense of the words. The Alpha’s parents were killed? How could that be? Hiro was in the car that day. He said it was an accident.

"Someone we don’t know paid Eliza," Taros said, crossing his arms in front of his chest. He leaned against the car as he spoke. "Hiro got angry when he found out the truth, and he killed her."

Kael’s eyes widened in shock. The news hit him hard, and he finally understood why Hiro hadn’t even looked at him earlier. Poor guy—his pain never seemed to end. "What are we going to do now? Should we tell Marcus?" he asked.

"No. You shouldn’t tell anyone," Kaito said firmly, tapping Kael’s shoulder. "Angela just got back with her father, and I don’t want our actions to cause more trouble between them. We’ve done enough already."

Kael nodded slowly. "You’re right. There’s still Renn’s mother’s issue."

"Exactly. Marcus doesn’t even know that my father tried to buy off Angela months ago," Kaito said as they started walking toward the entrance. "We’ll figure this out."

"We have to," Taros said quietly, following behind them. "I just don’t want Angela to end up hating us in the end."

"If we have to pay the price to make sure she has a better life, then I don’t see anything wrong with it," Kael said as he opened the door for them to enter.

The living room was dark, the thick curtains blocking out every bit of light. The air felt heavy, cold, and quiet. Still, with their werewolf senses, they could see through the darkness clearly. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Kael led them to a room downstairs in the west wing. He said it was the room that once belonged to Hiro’s parents before their death. Samuel was standing by the door, his back against it as he tried to persuade Hiro to open up. But nothing happened.

"He won’t open the door," Samuel said in frustration, stepping aside to give them space.

Taros walked closer and placed his hand on the door. He could have broken it easily, but that would be disrespectful to Hiro. "Brother, it’s me, Taros. Can you let me in?" he called softly.

There was no answer. But Taros could feel him inside. The bond between them made it easy to sense Hiro’s emotions, and what he felt now was heavy...deep sadness, anger, and pain. It was affecting all of them.

They knew Angela would feel it too. That was one of the reasons they wanted to end this quickly and return to her before she discovered what was happening.

"He’s listening, but he doesn’t want to respond," Taros said, shaking his head as he moved aside. "I don’t want us to leave without seeing him."

Kaito nodded and tried to reach Hiro through their communication link. "We know what you’re going through, Hiro. Let us in. Let’s talk. Staying silent won’t help any of us."

Still, there was no response. The door remained shut. It was clear Hiro wanted to be alone, but with how broken he was right now, leaving him alone didn’t sit right with them.

"Should we break the door?" Samuel asked quietly.

"No," Taros replied quickly, looking at him in surprise. "This used to be his parents’ room. If we break it, he’ll be furious and we can’t risk that."

"He’ll open it," Kaito said after a moment. "Maybe not now, but soon. I know he won’t leave us waiting out here forever."

"I’m panicking, no lies," Taros muttered, pacing back and forth. His voice trembled slightly as he ran his hands through his hair.

Kaito was about to calm him down when his phone suddenly beeped. A message from Renn appeared on the screen. His brows furrowed...Renn never texted him like that unless something was wrong.

He opened the message and froze.

Shut your fucking communication link, Kaito.

A cold shiver ran down his spine. He quickly stepped aside and dialed Renn’s number. The moment the call connected, Renn’s voice thundered from the other end.

"What the hell is wrong with Hiro? Angela is freaking out here!"
