Chapter 197: Are you.

"Are you kidding me?" Taros asked as he pulled his shirt back on, his eyes sharp with anger. "Do you want to kill her?"

"How? Why would you say that?" Hiro scoffed, rolling his eyes as he walked to Angela’s side. He slipped an arm around her waist as if she only belonged to him.

"Kaito is unconscious," Taros said firmly. "He isn’t strong enough for this. He needs time to wake up. If he wants to claim her, he’ll do it on his own. You can’t force it on him while he’s asleep."

Renn crossed his arms, his voice steady but heavy with concern. "It’s not safe for Angela either. You know this as well as I do."

Angela frowned, her chest tightening. "What do you mean it’s not safe for me? I can handle it. I would do anything to save him. I don’t care what it costs me."

Renn’s gaze softened, but he didn’t hide the truth. "Kaito is a beast right now. He isn’t conscious enough to know who you are or what’s happening. If you go through with this, you’ll lose yourself to him. We can’t risk you dying because you’re trying to tame a monster."

Taros leaned forward, his tone gentler. "And there’s another problem. His powers are still unstable. Your skin can’t touch his properly because of the electrons running through him. I managed to take some away, but not all. They’re still there, still dangerous."

Angela’s lips parted, her confusion showing. "But I thought the only way to save him was for him to claim me. Isn’t that what we agreed on? That once it’s done, he’ll wake up?" Her eyes flicked to Hiro, wondering if he had tricked her, if something had changed without her knowing.
