Chapter 171: The Vow.
They all stood in front of the hospital, waiting. Angela kept looking down the path that led to the gate, but there
was still no sign of a car, not even Kaito’s. She pulled out her phone and tried calling Renn, but he did not pick.
"Where are they?" Angela asked, her steps restless as she paced back and forth.
"Are you sure they were coming?" Hiro asked. His patience was running thin. He hated standing there doing
nothing.
"I don’t know. They told us to meet them here at the school hospital," Taros said as he looked up at the board
above the building, pointing at it. "See, this is the place. Why don’t we just wait?"
"I cannot keep waiting here," Hiro muttered and started to walk away.
"You were fine a few minutes ago. If | had not gone to your room, you would not even know that—"
"Will you stop this?" Angela cut in, looking at him with pleading eyes. She could see how restless Hiro was since
hearing about Kael’s condition. Blaming each other would not change anything, and deep down she knew she
was the one at fault. When Renn tried to call earlier, she had stopped Hiro from answering. She thought it was
nothing serious.
Her phone rang again, and she quickly shouted, "Look, Hiro, it is Renn."
Before Hiro could turn, two bright headlights cut through the path leading from the gate to the hospital. His chest
tightened. He could feel Kael’s presence, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not reach him through the
alpha link. His Beta was far too weak to respond.
Hiro wanted to rush straight to the car, but he forced himself to stay put. While they were in Zane’s store, he had
sensed something was wrong. He chose to keep quiet, not wanting to sound negative, but now the unease
pressed heavily on him.
Angela picked up the call. "Hello, Renn." She held the phone close, waiting for his voice.
"We are here. Wait... | can see you already," Renn said. His voice carried a weight that told them everything
about Kael’s state.
"Alright, | will end the call," Angela whispered before cutting it off.
They all waited in silence as one of the doctors cout, followed by two nurses pushing a stretcher. Clearly,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey had already been told what to expect.
Kaito’s car pulled in, moving faster than it should. The tires screeched slightly as it stopped right in front of them.
He jumped out at once and rushed to open the back door.
"What happened?" the doctor asked sharply as they hurried to the car, ready to bring Kael out.
"He has a fever and it is very high," Kaito said, his voice low, unsure of how else to explain the situation. Kael
was placed carefully on the hospital bed and the nurses pushed him quickly toward the entrance.
Hiro did not wait for any more words. With Taros beside him, he followed the medical staff into the hospital while
the others stayed outside, too tense to move.
"What happened?" Angela asked, looking straight at Kaito and Renn. They kept silent, and her chest tightened
with anger and fear.
"No one is saying anything?" Hailey asked, shocked at how they refused to speak.
"He has a fever," Renn finally said, his eyes shifting away. He only spoke because Angela had asked. He could
see how worried she was. He cared nothing about Hailey’s question. "Can we all just go inside and wait for Kael
to get better?"
"Are you really going to keep this from me?" Angela pressed, her brows drawn together, her lips set in a thin line.
She refused to give up. She knew something had happened, something far more serious than what they were
saying.
Kaito sighed. He did not want her to drown in fear, but he also knew she deserved the truth. "We got into a fight
on the way."
Angela’s heart skipped, and she stepped closer to where the boys stood. "With who?"
"With the guys that shot Hiro the other day. They kidnapped Kael and gave him back, but it looks like the
sedative they used on him, is taking effect," Kaito explained. He noticed the change in her face, the fear that
slipped through even when she tried to hide it. He wanted to calm her, to take away the weight pressing on her.
"He will be fine, you don’t have to worry."
Angela couldn't answer. The shock left her frozen, her thoughts spinning. Was this her fault? If she hadn't come
to this academy, none of this would have happened. From the very first day it had been one trouble after
another. Kaito losing house points, Hiro being shot at, and now Kael lying weak because of her.
"Don’t even start, Angela," Renn said firmly, catching the guilt in her eyes. "Don’t blyourself for this. Kael
needs us strong, and I'm sure by morning he will be fine."
"Yes, Angela," Hailey added softly as she stepped close and placed her hands on Angela's shoulders. "Let's go
inside and be with him."

"Sometimes, it is better not to know,. Its safer," the Patriarch said coldly. "For your own sake, and for your son's."
Her heart lurched at his words. Must he bring Renn into this? He had been threatening her with him lately,
reminding her that if she disobeyed, her son would pay the price. The thought of anything happening to Renn
tore at her chest, and she swallowed her fear.
"You don’t have to hurt my son, please," she begged, her voice trembling. "I promise | will bring you the girl
before the next full moon. Once | do that, you will releasefrom my debt and you will leave my son alone."
