Chapter 144: An Invitation.

Angela took a deep breath as she tried to calm the pounding of her heart. Her hands trembled slightly, heavy from stress, but she forced herself to stay strong.

"I have a birthmark," she began, pressing her palm against her chest. "It’s a crescent mark on the left side of my chest. It glowed red during the full moon."

Kaito leaned forward, speaking for the boys who were all waiting. "We saw it yesterday. Go on."

Angela hesitated, then released the truth she had been holding in. "I saw the same mark on Marcus. His is on his hand. He told me he was searching for me, and that his sources had a description that matched me."

The room went still. She saw their jaws drop, the shock plain on their faces.

"So he didn’t find anything yet?" Taros asked, tension clear in his voice. His worry for her was hard to hide.

"No, he found nothing," Angela said with a small, fleeting smile in his direction. "I didn’t let him, and Principal Valois also refused to give him what he wanted. He left without answers. But before he did, he mentioned your father, Kaito. What he said wasn’t good. You need to warn him. Marcus will come for him."

Kaito nodded slowly. He didn’t know why Marcus would have business with his father, but he was sure his father would understand once he mentioned the name. "From what you’re saying, Marcus isn’t sure about you. He only has a description. He doesn’t know you’re Angela because you’re still disguised as a boy?"

Angela nodded, her eyes searching his, wondering what he was trying to piece together.

"But Evan knew," Kaito continued. "That’s why he sent you threats and tried to force you to leave. Which means Marcus and Evan are not working together. If they were, Marcus would have known the truth about you by now."

"Kaito is right," Renn agreed. "Evan has known for a long time. If he was working for Marcus, you wouldn’t still be standing here."

Hiro muttered, unable to hide the unease in his voice. "I wish we were in my room. I would have drawn it all out on my board so we
