Chapter 178: No Trace Of Lupine In His Body.

Hiro called him through their link, but there was no response. He could feel Kael close by, so why wasn’t he answering? Was he too weak to reply? That was the only thing that made sense.

At first, Hiro thought Kael had gone missing, but the bond told him otherwise. His Beta was still within the hospital grounds. Hiro stood at the entrance, scanning the place with sharp eyes. He could handle things if they turned bad, but still, he texted Renn to come.

Just as he turned to go back inside, he froze. Kael was standing by the door. Hiro had told himself he wouldn’t be scared, but that was a lie. His heart leapt so hard it almost left his chest. The shock that should have been relief sent a wave of panic instead.

He stepped back, needing to be sure his eyes weren’t deceiving him, that the person before him was truly Kael.

"Are you okay, Alpha?" Kael asked, already guilty for startling him. "I didn’t mean to—"

"No, it’s fine. I just... I wasn’t expecting to see you when I turned around," Hiro said, still staring at him like he was seeing a ghost. He should have been happy, even pulled his Beta into a hug, but instead, unease weighed heavy in his chest. "Where were you? I searched everywhere, even with the nurse."

Kael shrugged. "I didn’t go anywhere. I was at the hospital park for a while, then I came inside. You weren’t in the room, so I stepped out to find you."

"You shouldn’t have left without telling me. You had us worried," Hiro said. He wanted to remind Kael that he was still supposed to be weak, yet the one before him looked perfectly fine. It made no sense—yesterday he could barely stand, and now he stood tall, steady as if nothing had ever been wrong.

"You look better this morning. No pain?" Hiro asked carefully. He had expected to drag Kael back to bed, but instead, he found himself staring in disbelief at his Beta’s sudden recovery.
