Chapter 227: Wait a minute, Alpha.

Angela noticed the absence of her two mates. They had slipped away the moment the conversation became serious, and after several minutes of waiting, they still did not return. Worry began to grow in her chest. She pushed herself from the bed and stepped outside, only to find the corridor empty. Her heart skipped. Where could they have gone when such an important meeting was taking place?

"You should come back inside," Taros called gently as he appeared. He took her hand and guided her back into the room. She climbed onto the bed again and rested against the pillows, feeling as though this was some kind of punishment. Nothing was wrong with her, yet the doctor had ordered two days of bed rest. Only the goddess knew how long she could endure it.

"Miss Valois remains my prime suspect. I have never trusted her, not for a moment," Hiro said firmly.

"So what do you suggest?" Taros asked, though his eyes kept darting toward the door, wondering where Renn and Kaito had disappeared to without a word.

"We should kidnap her first," Hiro replied. His words dropped like a stone in the room, leaving everyone stunned. No one expected him to say something so bold. Alex tried to laugh it off to ease the tension, but it did little to help.

"Do you even know what you are saying?" Angela asked, her brows furrowed. "She is the principal of this academy. If she goes missing, the board will step in. They could replace her with someone even tougher, and the first thing that person might do is discover my secret and throw me out."

"She is absolutely right," Taros agreed with a nod. Just then, a knock came at the door. It opened, and Renn and Kaito walked in. All eyes turned toward them, the silence heavy with the demand for answers.

"I needed some air and Kaito followed me," Renn explained quickly as he sat on the couch, trying to appear calm. "So... where were we?"

"Did something bad happen?" Angela asked. She could feel that something was wrong with him, but he would not let her in. He had already shut her off from their link.

"No. Let’s solve the big problem in front of us," he said with a fake smile. "We have Eliza."

Angela’s eyes widened. "What?" She did not even understand what he was saying. "Can you explain more?"

"Eliza is in our custody. We want to use her to reach the Malynster family," Kaito explained. "Hiro will enter her mind and find every secret she knows about your family. If the goddess helps and there is one good person in them, then you might finally meet him or her."

"You have always dreamed of meeting your real family someday, right? This is a chance you should use, love," Renn added softly.
