Chapter 116: Jealous Mates?
Angela pulled away from the hug, her chest a little lighter. It was a relief that at least one of her mates truly
understood her. Even though Taros was disappointed, he stayed by her side, and that meant more to her than
words could say. She could not bring herself to blthe others. They had every right to react the way they did.
"They will caround. | don’t know how soon, but they will," Taros said softly as he held her hand while they
walked out of the woods. Stales followed behind them in silence, not wanting to ruin the moment because he
found it too tender to disturb. "Kaito, for example, hates lies. He would rather stay quiet than lie. | think he must
have been hurt before."
Angela’s eyes filled with tears and her wolf let out a pained cry inside her. "Then | made him relive that pain
again. | am sure he hatesalready."
"You think so?" Taros chuckled as he glanced at her. "Why would you think like that? None of us can ever hate
you. Even my brothers don’t. Their anger only shows how much you matter to them. Honestly, | am glad they
reacted the way they did. | have carried this fear for years, wondering what would happen when the truth finally
cout. The thought of fighting them terrified me, especially Kaito."
"So you think this is better?" she asked in a broken voice.
"Yes. Things have been pushed forward," Taros nodded, giving her hand a gentle squeeze. "The fight for you is
inevitable, just as we were told. Each of us wants to be the first to claim you, because the first Alpha to do that is
granted extra power."
Angela blinked at him, confusion clear on her face. "What kind of power?"
"We don’t know yet. It is part of the prophecy."
"I never saw that written in any of the books | have read," Angela said softly. "How do you even know what the
prophecy says?"
"Every pack in the kingdom has a priestess who was given a copy of the prophecy scroll," Taros explained as
they walked closer to the West House. "One copy was sent to each royal family, and my family had one."
"I see," Angela murmured. "Does it mention anything about my family or my pack?"
"No. Almost nothing was written about you, and that is what made it so difficult to find you. | guess the moon
goddess knew exactly what she was doing."
They reached the gates of the West House and Angela's heart began to pound. The thought of facing Kaito again
made her stomach twist. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "I will sleep in Alex’s room tonight. | am sure
Kaito will sendout of his."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTaros laughed at her words. "I don’t think he will."
"He has done it before."
"Yes, but not this time," Taros said firmly. His eyes softened as he looked at her. "I know my friend, Angel. And
now that | know you are my mate, | hate the thought of you sleeping in the sroom with him. It feels unfair to
the rest of us."
"But it has always been my room. It’s not like Kaito even giveshis time," Angela said as she crossed her arms
over her chest. A small doubt slipped into her mind, wondering if Taros was right after all. "So you wantto
change rooms?"
"I think that choice should be yours, Angela," Stales finally spoke. He had been quiet, letting Taros do most of the
talking, but now his calm voice carried weight. Angela had always tried to be fair to everyone since she
discovered they were her mates, and he knew it was tfor her to start deciding what she truly wanted.
Angela's eyes softened as she looked at Taros. "But Taros is right," she whispered. She did not want to hurt him,
and deep down she knew it was not only about the bond anymore. Her heart had already grown attached in
ways she had not expected. "I will think about it."
"Take your time," Taros said with a gentle nod. His eyes lingered on hers, heavy with meaning. "But before you
go, promiseone thing. No more lies."
"I have already learnt my lesson," she answered, her voice trembling but firm.
"Good," Taros breathed, and his hand twitched as though he wanted to pull her into a hug, but he stopped
himself when he noticed the curious eyes of students around them. If he wanted to protect her, then he had to
act like nothing had changed. Before he could speak, Angela leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss against his
cheek.
A shiver ran through him at the feel of her lips on his skin. For a moment he forgot the crowd around them. His
chest warmed and a smile broke across his face, even though shock flickered in his eyes.
"Bye," he managed to say before turning away. His steps were steady, but his heart was racing faster than he
could control.
Stales chuckled beside her and shook his head. "He really is the coolest Alpha. | always told you that," he said,
glad she had been able to release the weight from her chest, even if everything still felt like a storm. Somehow
he believed it would all settle in the end. "Now, should we go and face the god of thunder and lightning?"
Angela laughed at his words, the sound breaking the heaviness in her chest. "You sound like your Alpha
sometimes."
"You are missing him. | get it. He is your boyfriend after all."
"Stales..." Angela's eyes widened, her stomach twisting with an excitement she did not want him to notice.
"What did | do?" Stales asked with a teasing smile as they walked up the stairs toward her room. "I actually like
you two together. | never knew my Alpha could act the way he does until you cinto the picture. Have you
thought about it? Will the relationship continue?"
Angela only shrugged, unsure what to say, but Stales answered for her. "I get it, it depends if he agrees. The
other problem is that you may end up having co-boyfriends."
"Stales..." Angela was stunned by his choice of words, but before she could react, he dashed to her door and
knocked. Her heart jumped when the knob turned, and Samuel appeared.
He let them in, and the moment Angela's eyes fell on Kaito, her heart pounded so hard she could barely breathe.
She tried to avoid his gaze, but his silence screamed louder than words.

"Thank you for your concern and words," Kaito said sincerely as he rose from the couch.
"Anytime, man," Samuel replied, then turned to Stales and together they left, leaving Angela and Kaito alone.

"Sure. Go ahead," Kaito said, his voice calm as he leaned back on the couch. One hand held the wolfscan, the

but she pushed the thought away and focused on what mattered.

The second the words left her mouth, she regretted them. But it was too late. He had already grabbed her hand
and pulled her onto his lap. His eyes burned into hers with a force that made her shiver.
Then his lips crushed against hers. Angela froze for a heartbeat, then melted into the kiss she secretly longed
for. Her hands slid into his hair, stroking it as she kissed him back.
It was slow and deliberate, filled with everything they had not said. In that moment, it was not just her apology. It
was also his way of admitting his own fault for pushing her away when she needed him most.
