Chapter 174: No One Betrayed You.
Angela stood with her heart racing like a speeding car. Heat spread through her body and her mind kept asking
how she would ever get out of this. If someone had truly betrayed them, then they were in deep trouble.
Whoever it was must have given away all their secrets, and that was what made Miss Valois so angry.
"No one betrayed you," her wolf spoke inside her.
"Stormy?" Angela whispered in her mind. Hiro’s eyes caught hers and for a moment she wondered if he could
hear what she was saying. Their bond was strong, their minds were linked, so maybe he could. "How do you
know that?"
"Believe me, dear, | know," Mighty Storm replied with a calm certainty. "Mr. Slade found out where you were. He
has other ways of doing things."
Angela’s gaze moved to the teacher in front of them and her chest grew tight. Was it true? Was he really Dr.
Dylan, the man who wanted her dead? He had sent Evan to torment her, to hunt her like prey. But why? What did
he want from her? She could not tell, and that fear made her weak.
"We will distract them, so they leave," Mighty Storm told her. The wolf was always the one with a plan, and
Angela felt a small wave of relief that she had shown up now, when she needed her most.
"You can’t tell our parents about this," Taros said as he stepped forward. His voice carried the weight of someone
who was not worried for himself but for everyone else. The other students were unaware of the danger. They had
no idea what could be waiting, and if they were careless, they would all pay. "We can solve this on our own
without involving them."
"| tried to warn you, but you never listened," Miss Valois said, her voice trembling with fury. Her eyes burned with
disappointment. "I told you not to keep secrets from me, especially when it concerns the academy."
"So you don’t keep secrets?" Renn’s voice cut through the air. Everyone turned to him in shock, strying to
silence him before he made things worse, but it was already too late. "Why force it on us that we are hiding
things? You could have walked in and asked us with trust, but you didn’t. You chose to believe what Mr. Slade told
you about us, so keep believing him."
"At least he didn’t lie to me," Miss Valois shot back, her words shaking but sharp. "He toldthe truth the
moment he found out." Her chest ached as she said it, because deep down she knew she should be standing by
her son instead of another man. But she was willing to carry that pain if it meant keeping him safe. Renn was too
reckless, too quick to make choices that could destroy him, and she could not let that happen.

"Nothing," Hailey answered with a small shake of her head. "I just pray you are choosing the right people and
making the best decisions for yourself. | am here to support Kael. | am not under you and | am not under this
school, so keepout of your discussion."
"You are under her. She is your sister and the principal of this academy," Mr. Slade said firmly.
"Can you please excuse the patient?" a nurse asked as she stepped into the room. Her voice cut through the
tension. She stood by the door behind Mr. Slade, her eyes calm but strict. "He needs to rest. Only one person can
stay with him. The rest of you should go outside."
"So sorry for disturbing," Angela quickly apologized. The nurse, dressed in blue scrubs, gave a small nod but did
not move. She stood waiting until everyone was ready to leave. Angela turned back to Kael, her heart heavy. "We
will be around. See you later."
"Thank you," Kael mumbled weakly.
"I will stay with him," Hiro said at once, his eyes fixed on Kael. He cared nothing for the argument going on. All
that mattered was that his beta healed soon.
"Let's all go out then," Kaito said, his tone firm as he headed for the door. Miss Valois and Mr. Slade had no
choice but to listen to the nurse, and the others followed behind. Kaito led them out, making sure they left
quickly. The hospital was not the place for their quarrels, and he refused to let them disturb the other patients.
He stepped outside first and waited for the rest to join him.
"lI am confused," Angela whispered, walking beside her friend. "If they report us to the board, what will happen?"
"It is dangerous," Alex said, his voice low. "The board might stop us from investigating. We might even be
punished. Our parents will not want us risking our lives, especially the alphas, so they will take the case away
from us."
"Won't that be a good thing?" Angela asked softly.
Alex turned to her with surprise in his eyes. "Good? You will be expelled. And your uncle will find out about you.
Your father too. If you have other enemies, they will know where you are. Do you want that?"
Angela’s chest tightened as she let out a heavy sigh. He was right. She was the one putting them all in danger,
and the trouble always seemed to fall on her shoulders.
"Also," Alex continued, lowering his voice as he stopped walking, "we do not know if smembers of the board
are working with Dr. Dylan. Marcus is out there searching for you, and from what you told me, he is part of the
board. That means we cannot trust anyone with what we discovered. Do you understand?"
"I do," Angela nodded as she looked at him. He was staring at her so much that it made her uneasy and she
wondered what was going on. "Is there a problem?"
"Yes. Your hair is growing faster than normal," Alex said as he took off his hoodie and handed it to her. "Put it on
with the cap so no one notices."
Angela obeyed and when she was done, they walked out together. The boys and Hailey were already in the
middle of another argument about the situation, voices raised with tension. Angela's chest tightened. She
wanted to calm them down but she didn’t know how.
They needed Miss Valois to stay on their side. If she reported them to the board, everything would fall apart.
Kaito was trying to reason with her but the others were making it worse.
"Don’t you think Renn is overreacting?" Alex whispered. His eyes moved between Renn and Miss Valois,
suspicion darkening his face. There was something between them that didn’t add up. At first, it looked like they
were in a relationship, but then it didn’t make sense.
He knew too well how much Renn loved Angela. So what was he doing with Miss Valois?
"I can see it too. Each t| ask, he says there is nothing going on between them," Angela muttered with a roll
of her eyes. But her words caught in her throat when she saw Hailey staring at her now. She must have heard
them.
Angela stepped forward, her small
figure pushing through the group so
she could be seen. Her VOICE OSE)

Angela’s throat went dry. She opened her mouth but no words cout. The principal knew that secret too. Fear
struck her heart as she lifted her gaze to Miss Valois. Did she know already that Marcus was her father?
It had to be Mr. Slade who told her.
Which only meant one thing. He was
Dr. Dylan. He was the one giviggm

Angela's chest burned with anger and

for what he was sooner? He was a

But what crushed her most was that Miss Valois refused to see it, or maybe she did see it and chose to stand
with him.
