Angela stood outside her dormitory, waiting. Stales had been with her a mont ago but had gone back to get his phone. He must have left it in her room.
The Alphas had already drawn up a plan. Tonight, they were all going to Central House. The more she thought about it, the faster her heart raced. She was eager to find out who Mr. Anonymous really was, and what he truly wanted from her.
Her phone beeped. She pulled it out of her pocket and saw a ssage from Renn. He was looking for her. She replied that she had already left the dormitory. Then she turned off her phone.
Angela stood still and waited for Stales. After everything that had happened, she knew she had to think carefully before making any move. So many lives were depending on her now. She had to be wise. She couldn’t let her emotions take control.
Stales had been honest with her. He said she needed to treat the Alphas equally. That ant telling them all the truth about her identity. First, she would tell them that she was a girl. If that went well, then she would tell them the rest—that she was a werewolf, and that they were her mates.
Angela let out a sigh and rubbed her neck. It sounded so simple when said out loud, but it was harder than anything she had ever faced. What if she told Kaito and he never forgave her? What if he started to hate her? Hiro would never let her hear the end of it. He would mock her for being a liar. And Taros... he might just look at her with that disappointnt she feared most.
But she had to do it. She had to tell them everything before the full moon. If not, she would face far worse.
Just then, a cold shiver ran through her body. She felt two arms wrap around her waist, pulling her back gently and taking her into a dark corner with the help of Primal Powers. It happened quickly, but she didn’t need to guess who it was. The scent, the warmth of the touch—she knew it all too well.
"I missed you..." Renn whispered, his arms still wrapped tightly around her.
He nuzzled into her neck, his lips grazing her skin softly before brushing against hers. Angela moaned quietly as his hands moved slowly over her body. They searched for her curves, moving with a need she could feel in her bones.
When his hands discovered her chest was bound, he reached to untie it, but she grabbed his hands and stopped him.
"Anyone could see us," Angela said, holding his hand. Her whole body was on edge. If it were up to her, she would have let him do anything he wanted right here and now.
"I couldn’t stop thinking about you all day," Renn whispered, turning her gently to face him. She did, and he stared at her like she was the only thing that mattered. She looked beautiful, and it hit him all over again. "I can’t stand being away from you for too long, babe."
Before she could say a word, his lips were on hers. He kissed her like she belonged to him. It wasn’t like the last kiss they shared. This one was deeper. It held everything they hadn’t said out loud—how much they had missed each other... how much they wanted each other.
Neither of them wanted to stop, but Angela had to pull herself together. If soone saw them outside like this, there would be trouble. When she finally pulled away, she didn’t push him off like she used to. Their foreheads still touched, their breath mixed, warm and heavy between them.
"Why don’t you spend the night in my room tonight?" Renn asked softly.
"What will I tell Kaito?" she replied.
"Tell him you’re crashing at Stales’ place. That’s normal."
"That ans more lies, Renn."
"He won’t find out. I’ll make sure of it, sweetheart," Renn said, almost begging. "Please..."
"I’ll think about it," Angela said, slowly breaking the hug. She stepped back and ran her fingers through her hair.
They heard footsteps coming. Before she could say anything, Renn vanished, leaving her alone. She shook her head and waited for whoever it was.
"Where did you go?" Stales asked as he reached her. "I’ve been looking all over. We need to go now. Alex already took the other route with Kaito."
"Sorry. I had to talk to Renn for a bit," Angela said as they started walking down the path toward the central house.
"Oh... our boyfriend," Stales teased, laughing as he walked beside her.
"Stop it," she muttered, rolling her eyes.
"I still can’t believe that Renn is crazy about you. My Alpha is such a pretender," Stales said with a grin, then stopped walking for a mont. He looked at her with a curious smile. "He a good boyfriend? Do you like him?"
"Hmmm... just a little," Angela chuckled. She still wasn’t sure about her feelings for Renn. They had just started dating after all the drama and argunts between them. It felt too early to say how she truly felt. "You know how things were between us. I can’t really say how I feel about him right now."
"I understand," Stales nodded. "So now what?"
"I think we’re moving too fast?"
"Too fast? No, buddy. Just enjoy yourself," he said. "You’ve been through a lot, and if being his girlfriend makes you happy, then go ahead. Be happy."
"What about the rest of my mates?" Angela asked. She didn’t even understand why she cared so much about all of them.
"They should join the queue, dear," Stales replied with a smirk. Angela didn’t know he could be this naughty.
They had arrived in front of Central House. As usual, cold chills ran through her body. She didn’t know why it always happened each ti she stood there. Maybe it was because Stales had once told her that a person died in this place.
"Hey, Stales," Alex waved at them from a few steps ahead. They walked over to where he was standing.
"Kaito and Renn are going to enter through the back of the hostel," he said. Then he turned to Stales. "You and I will call Evan out and apologize to him. That will buy enough ti for them to get into his room."
"So what about ?" Angela asked quickly. She thought they were leaving her out. "I can’t just stay back and do nothing. This whole thing is about ."
"You have a task," Alex said, but his gaze drifted past her shoulder. Confused, she turned around...and there he was.
Hiro. Standing with both hands in his pockets, wearing that annoying smile he always had on.
"Since Taros has been pushing himself too hard these past few days, Kaito said he should take a break," Alex explained.
"So?" Angela asked, doing her best to keep her face calm.
"You and Alpha Hiro will work together to make sure Mr. Slade doesn’t leave his office."
"What?" Angela almost choked on her words. Of all people, why would Kaito pair her with Hiro?
