Chapter 30: The Full Moon.

"Can I talk to you for a moment?" Hiro asked in a calm voice.

A cold shiver ran through Angela’s body. It was strange and honestly frightening to hear him speak so softly. Even worse, he wasn’t in her head like usual. That made it harder to predict him.

"Fine. If you want to talk, then let’s talk," Angela said, standing up from her seat.

But before she could take a step, Alex turned sharply and said, "He didn’t say anything to you. Why are you answering him?"

"He did," Angela replied firmly. She was sure she heard him. Everyone else must have heard too. But as she looked around, the confused looks on their faces told a different story.

Oh no. Hiro had done it again. He had spoken straight into her mind.

Her hands clenched as her blood boiled. He was starting another game with her, and she could already feel the headache coming. But this time, she was not going to fall into his trap.

She remembered what Stales told her. Stay calm. Be smart. The Alphas wanted to provoke her. They wanted to use her reactions against her. And so far, she had made it easy for them. Not anymore.

She was going to be careful now. Strategic.

They thought they had broken her, but they hadn’t. If anything, they had made her stronger. She had learned that survival was not always about fighting or shouting. Sometimes it was about being silent and playing the long game.

Angela walked to the front of the classroom and stood there, facing Hiro. She already knew what was coming. He was going to throw the same questions at her again.

"I know you’re hiding something."

"Who is Kaito to you?"

"Are you related to him?"


She had heard it all before. Over and over again. She wished he would stop talking and start investigating properly. If he did, maybe he would see there was no connection between her and Kaito at all.

"I just want you to know," Hiro said, his voice steady, "that no matter how hard they try to protect you, I will find out who you are and how you are connected to Kaito."

Then he stepped closer and added, "Guess what I found this time. Your previous school. I’m going there to get every answer I need."

Angela’s heart skipped a beat. She froze, but forced herself to stay calm. She couldn’t let him see that his words had struck her.

He had found her former school. That meant he had gone through her file. No doubt about it.

"Do whatever you want, Alpha Hiro," she said, her voice cold but steady. "You’ll see that I wasn’t lying."

She remembered what Stales told her—never sound disrespectful. Let them talk. Let them assume. The more uninterested she looked, the more they would believe she had nothing to hide.

"I will, little human," Hiro said with a smirk before turning away and walking out of the room.

Angela let out a deep sigh.
