Kaito walked into the room, his eyes catching everything in one glance. But he was already late. Taros was on top of Angela, his head resting on her shoulder. When Angela saw Kaito, she smiled and motioned for him to join them. The temptation hit him like fire. His body reacted instantly, his pulse racing, his breath uneven.
"No, Angela," Kaito said with a small smile that quickly faded. He turned his eyes to Taros. "Taros, can you co downstairs?"
"Is there a problem?" Taros mumbled, barely opening his eyes. All he wanted was to sleep in his mate’s arms. He was too tired to deal with his brother right now.
"Stop being lazy," Kaito said, pointing at the door. "Take a shower and co downstairs. I want to talk to you."
Taros groaned softly and sat up. Without another word, he left the bed and walked out of the room, leaving Kaito and Angela alone.
"Are you just going to stand there and stare at ?" Angela asked, biting her lower lip.
"I’m not staring," Kaito replied, though his voice betrayed him. He was lying, and he knew it. His eyes moved over her body again and again. The sight of her made his blood rush. Every part of him ached to touch her, to claim her, to make her scream his na until her voice broke.
Damn it, Kaito, what the hell are you thinking? he scolded himself silently.
"Stop lying," Angela whispered, sitting up to et his eyes. "You want ."
"Your father is outside," Kaito said quickly, trying to bring himself back to his senses.
"Oh," Angela muttered, the color draining from her face as embarrassnt washed over her. She had completely forgotten about that.
"Yes," Kaito said, moving closer. "As much as your relationship with him is still new, we have to respect that he’s around. This is his house. We can’t just do whatever we want. He’s protective of you, Angela. Too protective."
"I can see that," she said softly, wrapping her arms around his chest.
"Thank goddess you understand," Kaito murmured, climbing onto the bed. He leaned closer until his face was inches from hers. When she closed her eyes, he kissed her gently, his lips brushing hers before he whispered, "Try to spend ti with him. Get to know your father."
"Fine, I will," Angela said, opening her eyes to et his. Kaito smiled faintly, then stood and walked to the mirror, his reflection showing the battle he was fighting inside.
"You guys really had a nice ti in here," Kaito said with a faint smile as he looked around the room. The sheets were tangled, the scent of passion still heavy in the air. "I wish I was the one."
Angela was about to say sothing, her lips parting with a teasing smile. "We can still—"
"No," Kaito cut her off gently. "You can only be with Hiro right now. The harvest moon is in three days, and we need to complete the bond."
"Oh, I forgot about that," she said, rubbing her forehead.
"Please don’t forget such things, Amor," Kaito said as he turned toward the door. "You should take a shower too."
"I will."
"I love you," he said softly.
A shy smile spread across her face, her heart skipping. She was about to reply, but he had already left. Angela let out a long sigh as she got up from the bed and stretched. She started toward the bathroom, but sothing outside the window caught her attention.
A car had stopped beside the house. Renn stepped out, his face tense as he argued with Bellezza. They both looked upset, their voices low but sharp. Then they began to walk away toward the other side of the street.
A chill ran down Angela’s spine. Fear crept into her chest, twisting it tight. Did Bellezza find out the truth? If she did, it would only bring trouble—terrible trouble.

The environnt was quiet since most of the students had gone ho. According to what Samuel told him, the board called for a vacation. Renn decided to address the few students who stayed back. He wanted them to go ho and enjoy their holiday.
"We were asked not to speak about what happened at the hospital," Alex said as they walked out of the East House. "They don’t want the parents to panic."
"I don’t think that’s the only reason," Renn replied as he stood beside his car. "The holiday was supposed to happen after the harvest moon. Why change their minds now? It’s not like the students saw what Marcus did. They only saw the destruction at the hospital."
"The board is doing everything for themselves. I heard there’s a eting tomorrow," Samuel said.
"I heard it too." Renn nodded, folding his arms across his chest. "We’ll make a plan before morning. Everything will work in our favor."
"I hope so," Stales said as his eyes caught sight of a car pulling up near them. "Who the hell is that?"
"Marcus’ sister, Bellezza," Renn answered without looking. "We’re taking you guys to see Angela now."
"Yes!" Alex said, almost jumping. He couldn’t hide his excitent, and the others looked at him strangely. He’d never acted like that before.
"Are you okay?" Renn asked, frowning.
"Of course, he is," Stales answered for his friend with a small smile. "We’re just happy about our friend’s recovery."
Renn looked at both of them closely. He was about to say sothing when Bellezza and Seraphina caught his attention. "Alex, isn’t the blonde one of the people you kidnapped?"
Alex sighed. "We didn’t really kidnap her..."
Renn hissed under his breath and turned toward the two beautiful ladies walking toward them.
"Are we leaving now?" Bellezza asked with a bright smile.
"Yes, but is she coming with us?" Renn asked, pointing at Seraphina.
"Why not? She wants to see how Angela is doing," Bellezza replied, wrapping her arm protectively around the girl.
Renn wanted to tell her who Seraphina really was, but his words got stuck when he noticed a familiar car stopping beside Bellezza’s. His chest tightened the mont he recognized it. Who gave her the right to show up here?
The passenger door opened, and Hailey stepped out in a rush. She ran straight to him and wrapped her arms around him. Renn held her tightly for a mont before gently pulling away.
"I was scared when I heard what happened to you," Hailey said, tears filling her eyes. "You scared , Renn." She had thought sothing terrible had happened to her sweet nephew.
"I’m fine now," Renn said softly. His gaze shifted toward the car that brought her. Miss Valois stepped out from the driver’s side. She stood still for a few seconds before walking toward them, but Bellezza quickly moved in front of her, stopping her in her tracks.
"Where do you think you are going?" Bellezza asked, her brow deep with anger. Just seeing the woman filled her with fresh hate. "What are you doing here?"
"I am the principal of this school, if you have forgotten," Miss Valois snapped back.
"Say that again, you slut, and see if your tongue will still be in your mouth," Bellezza shouted, stepping forward. Renn caught her arm and held her back.
"Let handle this, okay?" he said, his voice low. She did not pull away.
"I have been dying to kill her. This is my chance," Bellezza hissed, her gaze burning with hate.
Renn pulled Miss Valois behind the car and lowered his voice. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"Why would you ask that? I heard you were around, so I ca to se. e," Miss Valois replied, trembling.
"Are you out of your mind?" Renn growled, his hands closing on her shoulders. Miss Valois froze. He was not the boy she knew. His eyes were bright with anger. "Didn’t I tell you to stay away? Didn’t I warn you?"
"R- Renn?" she stamred, her lips shaking.
"Don’t call my na," he snapped, pushing her back. "What did I do to deserve you? Why did the moon goddess make you my mother? There are a million won in the world. Why choose you?"
His words struck her like a blow. He was full of hurt and she felt it in that mont. Miss Valois looked around at the faces watching them, searching for their reaction. The crowd stared, stunned. Her secret was out.
"Her son?" Bellezza whispered, eyes wide. She glanced at the other boys. The look on their faces told her everything. They had no idea.
