Chapter 70: Lovers’ first argument.

Angela felt like a rat, small and unwanted, when she was pushed and the door slammed in her face. Her wolf howled inside her, filled with pain and rage. Mr. Slade had treated her like garbage, and he didn’t care how it made her feel.

"This is not going to end well," Alex muttered as he paced the hallway, rubbing his temples. He had no idea how to explain anything to Kaito once he came out of that office.

"Mr. Slade didn’t even let us talk. What do you think he’s telling the Alphas in there?" Stales asked, leaning tiredly against the wall. His heart sank when he saw Renn earlier. If only the teacher had allowed them to speak, maybe things wouldn’t have gotten this far.

"All this is my fault," Angela whispered, dragging her fingers through her hair in frustration. "I dragged you both into this mess. If I had just handled it on my own, I’d be the only one in trouble. Stales wouldn’t have to face Renn. Kaito wouldn’t come out and yell at you... really sorry."

The boys paused. Alex walked over to her first, his voice gentle but firm.

"Do you really think this is because of you?" he asked. "Angela, even if you hadn’t involved us, this would’ve still happened. This whole thing is bigger than you. Can’t you see? Someone’s clearly trying to ruin you. Anyone who tries to help you gets dragged in too."

"We wanted to help, Angel," Stales said softly, glancing at Alex, who nodded in agreement. "This isn’t about punishment or points anymore. This is about someone targeting you, and by extension, all of us. We don’t care about the consequences. We’re in this together. But now that our houses are involved, the stakes are higher. We could all lose points."

Alex looked serious now. "Mr. Slade has never liked Kaito or Taros. This is just going to make things worse between them. That’s what we’re worried about. It’s not your fault. It’s the fact that this ’Mr. Anonymous’ seems to have the upper hand. He knows too much."

Angela lowered her gaze. "He knows I’m a girl," she said quietly, wrapping her arms tightly around herself. Her chest throbbed—not just from the wrap, but from the ache deep in her heart.

"That’s just one of the things he knows," Stales said. He shook his head. "But we won’t let him win. We won’t let him smile at our downfall. Let’s stand tall and take whatever comes. We’re not backing down."

Angela looked at them, her eyes soft with emotion. She didn’t have a real family, but right now, she felt like she did. These boys...they were the brothers she had never known she needed. Who would have thought that anyone would stand by Angela, the daughter of a whore?

Just then, the door creaked open. Her heart jumped.

Kaito stepped out first. One look at his face made her chest tighten. He looked so disappointed... like he didn’t even need to speak for her to feel the weight of it. Did he really believe they harassed Evan?

But how could he not? The video looked so real.
