Chapter 135: The Dead Body.

Angela stood frozen, her mind wrestling with the shock. She could not believe her eyes. It was Evan—the same boy she once had a misunderstanding with—now lying lifeless on the cold ground. Her arms wrapped around herself as if to shield her from the truth, and she staggered back in disbelief.

"Are you okay?" Taros asked, his voice uncertain. He looked at her and then at the body, not knowing what to do first. She was still naked, trembling from more than just the night air, while he had nothing on but his trousers. He wanted to shield her, to take her away, but before he could move, Kaito appeared with Alex.

They must have been searching for them. From the look on their faces, it was not about chasing Angela anymore. Something heavier, something far more serious, weighed on them. Fear clenched Taros’s chest as he stepped in front of Angela, trying to hide her behind him, to protect her from their eyes.

Kaito was not surprised to see them together. When Hiro asked earlier about Taros, he had lied that Taros was injured and resting in his dorm. Hiro had not believed him, but he let it go. Now the truth stood before him.

"I’m not surprised to see you two together," Kaito said. His voice was tight, his anger and jealousy barely hidden, but even he knew this was not the moment to fight with Taros. He handed over the clothes Alex had brought for Angela.

Kaito had known she would be naked after transforming, but he had not expected to find her here with Taros. While everyone else had been worried about her, she had been in his arms. His chest tightened with bitter thoughts, but he pushed them away.

"Here, wear this," he said, forcing calm into his tone. "We need to think clearly, and I’m already losing my mind seeing you like this." Taros took the clothes from him and passed them to Angela. Alex turned away, giving her privacy while she dressed.

Kaito, however, did not look away. His eyes lingered on her, and no matter how much he tried, he could not stop the rush of desire that stirred inside him. This was not the first time he had seen her body, yet every time felt like the first. It was wrong to be thinking of her like this now, but he could not help himself. He shook the thought from his mind.
