Chapter 103: Growing Up Alone.
"Tell me, what was it like growing up alone?" Angela asked, still in his arms. She didn’t want to break free. There
was something about being there with him... it gave her peace. If anyone could understand what she had been
through, it was him. They understood each other’s pain without needing to talk too much about it.
"You're supposed to know," Hiro chuckled, his eyes drifting away as if he was walking through his own past. "It
was cold and lonely. Sometimes, | wished there was someone to talk to about what was going on in my life... but
there was no one. When | woke up in the pack house, | would see my cousins’ parents preparing them for school.
And me? | just struggled to find my own way."
"I can imagine. | always prepared myself for school as long as | can remember, but guess what? It made things
easier for me," she said. "I didn’t have to rely on my mother for everything. | handled things myself whether she
was there or not. But sometimes, | wanted her to step in and fulfil her duties... just once. But she never did. Not
even once."
"She sounds just like my uncle. Maybe we should introduce them and let the worst family members in the world
meet," he said playfully.
Angela broke from the hug and looked at him. He was the king of jokes, and this one... she had to laugh. He
didn’t know who Grace was. She would charm his uncles, then turn them against each other for her own
amusement.
"You know what happened?" Hiro asked. She shook her head, and he continued. "When my parents died, | didn’t
know. | thought they left me. | was only four, and one of my uncle's wives always told| was a bad kid who
wouldn't listen, and that’s why they leftto have another baby. She kept saying that until | started hating my
parents. She madedo things | didn’t want to."
Angela was shocked. How could anyone be so cruel to a four-year-old who had just lost his parents? Instead of
helping him, they turned him against the very people who had loved him.
No matter what, Grace had never said anything bad about her father. She always said he was a good man, even
though he was gone now. That was one of the reasons Angela would fight for his nany time, any day. Her
father must have truly been a good man, because Grace was not someone who gave praise without meaning it.

myself," Hiro said, tears in his eyes. Angela felt her heart burn when she saw him like this, yet even now she
could see him trying to smile through the pain. "Later, my eldest uncle ctoand told| was useless.
He said | was one of the reasons my parents died when | was four. He told| couldn’t use my powers because
I was weak."
"He left and you hated yourself for hating your parents," Angela added softly. She could see why he was always
playing tricks on people—it was his way of escaping the pain. She held his hand gently and kissed his knuckles.
"Now, you don’t have to worry about the past. You are loved here. Your brothers might not say it, but the day you
got shot, every one of them was restless."
"Really?" Hiro asked, as if he couldn't believe it.
"Yes, Hiro. Don’t act like | am saying something strange," Angela said, looking serious. He was staring right at
her, his eyes never leaving hers. She swallowed hard and looked away before she ruined the moment with the
cravings building inside her. "Taros spent days by your side. Kaito kept checking on you... Renn did the same,
even though they were busy with their duties. They really do care."
"What about you?" Hiro asked, reaching out for her face. He cupped her cheek in his hand and she kissed his
palm with her eyes closed. He loved what she was doing, but he forced himself to control his urges. They had
just started being friends and he wasn’t going to let his foolish desires ruin it.
"You already know my answer," Angela laughed, opening her eyes. She hadn't liked him at first, but after finding
out he was her mate, everything began to change. He was actually cute and seemed to be the youngest among
the Alphas. "Are you younger than the rest of the Alphas?"
"I know you are trying to tease me," Hiro said, shaking his head. "We are all the sage, but Kaito is older than
all of us by three hours."
"Really?" Angela was surprised. "No wonder he behaves so mature, giving off that big brother vibe."
"He has always been strict and too serious," he told her. "We fight and play all kinds of tricks to get on each
other's nerves, but | know for a fact that we both know exactly when to stop."
"Wow. | think I like that," Angela said. It was a relief to know that if she broke the news to them tomorrow, they
wouldn't kill each other. Just a little fight and it would be over. They would learn to live in peace with her.
"Then Renn comes second... my buddy," Hiro smiled as he spoke of him. "Always there forno matter how
rude he is. Renn would give his heart towithout thinking twice if | was in need of it."
Angela was surprised. She didn’t know Renn would do something like that. Her boyfriend was more soft-hearted
than he seemed. "I didn’t know that he had a good side like this."
"Renn had a rough upbringing. It was not easy for him. | won't talk about it with you or anyone because he
doesn’t like discussing his personal stuff, so... you can ask him if you want."
Angela nodded. This was the second person mentioning it. She wondered what Renn had been through. Did he
lose his parents too? Did he grow up in an orphanage? Many questions kept running through her mind.
"Then there is Mr. Perfect Taros, as the ladies call him."
"The ladies?" her face tightened. "What do you mean by that?"

"I wish it was the case with us," Angela said quietly. "Taros is lucky."
"Yes. He doesn’t take it for granted."
