Chapter 182: Everything is Fine Now.
The low cut wig cap fit her so well that she could hardly recognize herself as a girl anymore. Anyone who looked
at her would think she was a boy. That had been Alex's idea. Her hair was growing fast, and instead of cutting it
short again, she had to hide it under the wig. Angela glared at her reflection in the mirror one last tbefore
forcing herself to join the line for the combat test.
It was already test week. Last week had been a rough one, and she felt like a loser when it ended. She tried not
to think about it, but the memories still rushed back and weighed on her heart.
Her mates no longer cclose to her. Alex told her they needed tto think. She knew it was hard for them
too. They had tried in their own ways to protect her, to stand by her, and she appreciated it. She told herself it
was fair to give them space. But her heart refused to listen to her mind. She loved them deeply and longed to
have them close, just like before.
Hiro was busy with his Beta and the semester tests. He checked on her whenever he found the time. It wasn't
that he abandoned her, but still, she wished for more. She wished things could feel the way they once did.
Renn had not cback to claim her again. When she asked him, he told her she was not in her right mind, that
she was only speaking out of pain. Since then, he had caround a few times that week to train her in combat.
Those lessons were intense, and though their bodies burned with craving, they both pretended not to notice.
"What are you thinking, little wolf?" Alex asked as he stood behind her in the line. He had been worried since
everything that happened last week. "Are you still thinking about your mates?"
"Exactly, Alex," Angela admitted with a frown. She had not spoken much about it. No one wanted to.
"Why did you tell Kaito you wanted to change rooms after that meeting?" The question had been on Alex’s mind
for days, and now he finally asked.
"I just wanted to change rooms. He was mad at me, so | thought he would letmove out quickly," she said.
But it hadn't worked. Instead, Kaito left the room for her. His things were still there, his clothes, shoes, and
boxes, but he no longer stayed the night.

he couldn’t stand making his mate uncomfortable, so he chose to sleep elsewhere, even though it was his room
too.
"But things worked in your favour, dear," Alex whispered with a chuckle. Angela frowned and shoved him back a
little, but he stood firm and laughed anyway. They still had about fifteen minutes before the examiners walked in.
"Now you don’t have to be unfair to your other mates, right?"
"| wanted to move out so it wouldn't look like | was giving Kaito special treatment," Angela said, turning fully to
face him. The smile on his lips only made her angrier. "Nothing about this is funny. You're makingmad."
"Really?" Alex laughed again. The students waiting nearby would probably be shocked to see him smiling before
an exam. Normally, before Angela cto the academy, he would sit alone, silent and heavy with thoughts. But
everything had changed when she arrived. She had brightened his days, though she belonged to the alphas.
"I'm sorry," he said after a pause, his voice softer now. "But you've been a good mate to them, and if they don’t
say it, | will. You always try to keep the balance. When there's a problem, you fight to fix it. You never stop
working on your relationships."
"There's no doubt she’s stubborn," another voice joined in. Stales stepped forward and stood behind Alex, his
presence calm but steady. "You are the best thing that has happened to us, and the alphas know it. It’s hard to
watch things turn cold between you, but it won't last forever."
"You think so?" Angela asked quickly, her eyes lifting with a spark of hope she had been hiding for days.
"Yes. You needed a break, and so did they," Stales said. His tone was sure, like he believed it with his whole
heart. "I checked on Kael this morning. They want to move him to the Alphas’ pit because his eye colour has
changed."
Angela gasped, her hands flying to her lips. Fear swelled in her chest. "Oh no." Her voice trembled as her
thoughts raced. The harvest moon was less than two weeks away. They had to find a cure before then. "What are
we going to do to help him?"
"I don’t know yet, dear," Alex said as he rubbed his face with a tired hand. "Taros is still working with Dr. Dave.
Let’s hope they cup with something before the week ends."

"We don’t know. No one saw him leave," Angela replied softly. Her voice carried doubt, and deep inside she
feared her mates had something to do with it. "Don’t you think this is Kaito’s doing?"
"He said he didn’t do anything to him," Alex answered quickly. "I remember clearly, they met and talked. It was
short, but the very next morning, Slade was gone."
"Doesn't that sound suspicious?" Angela asked, her eyes moving from Alex to Stales. "I've asked Kaito so many
times, but he never toldwhat they talked about."
