Chapter 116: Jealous Mates?

Angela pulled away from the hug, her chest a little lighter. It was a relief that at least one of her mates truly understood her. Even though Taros was disappointed, he stayed by her side, and that meant more to her than words could say. She could not bring herself to blame the others. They had every right to react the way they did.

"They will come around. I don’t know how soon, but they will," Taros said softly as he held her hand while they walked out of the woods. Stales followed behind them in silence, not wanting to ruin the moment because he found it too tender to disturb. "Kaito, for example, hates lies. He would rather stay quiet than lie. I think he must have been hurt before."

Angela’s eyes filled with tears and her wolf let out a pained cry inside her. "Then I made him relive that pain again. I am sure he hates me already."

"You think so?" Taros chuckled as he glanced at her. "Why would you think like that? None of us can ever hate you. Even my brothers don’t. Their anger only shows how much you matter to them. Honestly, I am glad they reacted the way they did. I have carried this fear for years, wondering what would happen when the truth finally came out. The thought of fighting them terrified me, especially Kaito."

"So you think this is better?" she asked in a broken voice.

"Yes. Things have been pushed forward," Taros nodded, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. "The fight for you is inevitable, just as we were told. Each of us wants to be the first to claim you, because the first Alpha to do that is granted extra power."

Angela blinked at him, confusion clear on her face. "What kind of power?"

"We don’t know yet. It is part of the prophecy."

"I never saw that written in any of the books I have read," Angela said softly. "How do you even know what the prophecy says?"

"Every pack in the kingdom has a priestess who was given a copy of the prophecy scroll," Taros explained as they walked closer to the West House. "One copy was sent to each royal family, and my family had one."
