Chapter 117: Marked By One.

Note: Marking is different from claiming.

******

When evening came, Angela did not go to the cafeteria. She felt a little relieved knowing that two of her mates had forgiven her. Even though they had not spoken about their fight for claiming her in the future, she knew it was still progress.

Now what was left were Renn and Hiro. Both of them had opened up to her recently. Renn had shown her to his family without hesitation, and Hiro had trusted her with his deepest secrets. They must be feeling used and hurt, and it was her fault.

She could not let things remain like that. She could not stand her mates being angry with her. Their recent behavior was already making her weak and she feared it might affect her shift tomorrow. She needed to make peace with them. That was the only way she could feel whole again.

Angela rose from her bed. Kaito had gone to take a night class with the form three students, which gave her the chance she needed. She dressed up quickly and decided to meet Hiro first. When she got to the South House, she saw him standing at the gate with some of his pack members. They were in a discussion, but his face was not cheerful the way it used to be. She knew she was the reason behind that change.

Angela stayed quietly by the side, waiting until they were done. She did not want to interrupt them. When Hiro noticed her presence, he dismissed his pack members right away. Then he came toward her with a serious look on his face. "What are you doing here?" he asked.

"What do you think I am doing here? Obviously I came to talk to you," Angela replied, her voice sharper than she intended. He always knew how to annoy her.

"About what? I don’t want to talk to you," Hiro said, shrugging his shoulder as if she was nothing.

"You have to listen to me. I know you are angry, and I came to apologize."

"Do not apologize," Hiro cut her off. He avoided her eyes as if meeting them would make him soften. "I mean it."

"It doesn’t matter if you want it or not. I will apologize anyway," she said firmly.

Hiro sighed, already tired of her stubbornness. He had no choice but to stay and listen. "Fine. Go ahead and say it."

"I am sorry, Hiro. I hurt you by keeping things from you," Angela said softly. Her eyes searched his face. He looked so innocent in that moment. His blue eyes lifted briefly to meet hers before turning away to the wall beside them. "I promise I will never do it again."
