Chapter 42: Hiro’s Problem- Angel!

Angela swallowed hard, her throat dry as she searched for the right words. Everyone saw it. What happened back there wasn’t normal. The strength she used to pull Alex up wasn’t something a human could have managed—especially not someone like her.

"How did you do that?" the teacher asked as he stepped forward, his eyes wide with surprise.

Angela’s hands curled into fists at her sides. She had no idea what to say. Was it her wolf that helped? Or had the goddess actually answered her desperate prayer? She didn’t know. She hadn’t felt anything. No voice. No presence. She had been calling for her wolf, but Mighty-Storm was silent. She hadn’t heard from her all day.

Was her wolf angry because she hadn’t accepted her mates?

"What’s your name?" the teacher asked again, this time in a softer tone.

"A-Angel," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

"You’re a human. So how did you manage to do that?" he asked again, waiting for a real answer.

Before Angela could speak, Alex stepped forward and answered for her.

"I did it," he said clearly, standing in front of her. His eyes briefly flicked toward the auburn-haired boy, full of quiet warning, then returned to the teacher. "He didn’t do anything. I used my strength to pull myself up. Is that against the rules now?"

"N-no, I just... I got confused," the teacher stammered, clearly unsure of what to say next. He quickly turned toward the board. "Now, your rankings will be updated."

Angela felt a wave of relief when Alex stepped in for her. But deep down, she knew it wasn’t over. He would come to her later. He would ask questions. He had just lied to everyone to protect her. He wasn’t going to let it slide.
