Chapter 189: The Little Stubborn Girl.
Renn traced his fingers along her face, still unable to believe what had just happened between them. It felt
unreal, like a dream so beautiful he never wanted to wake from. His heart knew the peace of it, but his mind
reminded him that his brothers would soon come, angry and disappointed, maybe even ready to break his door
down. He had already prepared himself for that.
It wasn’t his fault, he told himself. Fate had only chosen him to be the first, and he couldn’t stop himself from
feeling lucky. He leaned down to kiss her forehead, watching her sleep, her lashes resting softly against her
cheeks. She had been asleep for hours, her body worn out, and he had not dared to wake her because she
needed that rest.
When her eyes fluttered open at last, Renn’s chest tightened. He cupped her face gently, his voice soft with
affection. "The queen is awake."
Her gaze on him brought a rush of surprise, and for a moment he feared she might not remember what had
happened, or worse, that she might regret it. The thought alone made his heart ache.
"How long have | been sleeping?" Angela asked, her voice quiet as she tried to focus her eyes. She caught the
faint shadow in his expression, and it made her wonder if he thought she didn’t want to be there with him.
"Three, maybe four hours. It’s evening now," he replied.
"I overslept," she murmured, moving closer to him until she was nestled in his arms. She tilted her face up at
him, and his lips curved into a smile as he held her tighter, making sure there was no space between them.
"No, my love. You needed it." He pressed a tender kiss to her forehead, his words filled with warmth. "I'm the
reason you're tired."
Angela smiled, her voice barely above a whisper. "It was worth it."
"Do you regret that I'm the one who took your virginity?" Renn asked as he stared into her eyes. His voice was
low, but inside he was terrified of what she might say.
"No," Angela whispered softly, drawing lazy circles on his chest with her fingers. "I wanted this, remember?" He
gave a small nod and she smiled faintly before adding, "I enjoyed it."
Renn let out a heavy breath, relief washing over him. He pulled her closer, shifting her gently until she was lying
on top of him. She gave him a surprised look but didn’t resist, her lips curving because she liked the way it felt.
"Go on, say it," Renn teased. "That I'm a beast."
Angela raised a brow. "Are you reading my mind?"
"Not exactly," he murmured. "But now that I've claimed you, our bond is stronger. If my brothers complete it too,
it will be stronger than ever. There are things we'll be able to do that you can’t even imagine."
Her curiosity lit up her face. "Like what?"
"For example," he explained, "if you were in a faraway place, even in another continent, and my brothers and |
were here, we'd still be able to find you through the bond."

Her lips parted slightly in surprise, her eyes shining with interest. She slipped off his chest and sat up, staring at
him with eagerness. "I want to know more about what else we can do if the bond is completed."
Renn sat up too, brushing his hand across her arm. "It’s not easy to explain, but what you should know is that
we've becone. Once my brothers also claim you, everything will make sense. You might even unlock powers
you never knew you had."
Angela nodded slowly, her mind racing, before asking the question that lingered in her heart. "And what about
what you said before? About the one who claimsfirst?"
Renn’s gaze softened. "I don’t know yet, but we’ll find out soon." His hand slid to the back of her neck, drawing
her close until their lips met again. This kiss was deeper, filled with love , as though he wanted to remind her
that no matter what happened next, she was already his.

Principal Valois lifted the bottle of water and drank deeply before closing it again. Her eyes returned to the letter
in her hands, and her heart sank. She still could not believe that the Patriarch had sent her a reminder that time
was running out. His words echoed in her head like a curse she could not shake.
She ran her hand through her hair and let out a heavy sigh. How long could she go on living like this, always
afraid, always waiting for the next blow to fall? One problem ended, and another immediately began. It was
endless.
The sleepless nights were starting to wear her down. For a week she had barely closed her eyes, her mind
restless, filled with questions she could not answer. Should she hand Angela over to her father and seek refuge
in him? But what if he turned out just like the Patriarch? What if he refused to help her at all, and the Patriarch
finds out that she handed Angela over to Marcus. It would be over for Renn and her.
No, she told herself firmly, that could not happen. She would never allow it.
Valois pushed herself to her feet and grabbed her car keys. She needed to leave, needed to breathe, needed
space to think. But just as she stepped out of her office, one of the female staff stopped her in the hallway.
"| wanted to ask if | could clear Mr. Slade’s office and let another staff member have it," the woman said politely.
Valois gave a quick nod without a
word and hurried toward the parking
lot. When she finally sat inside her
car, she let out a fits open
The weight shear? n her
sholilders was crushing. Running the
academy was no easy task, and she
now understood why it had been left
to her. The board had known how
hard it would be, and deep inside she
knew the truth. This was their way of
punishing her for what happened
years ago. The content is on

Yes, that was it. They wanted her to suffer.
Her phone beeped, pulling her out of
her thoughts. It was a message from
one of the men she had sent to trace
Mr. Slade. He had vanished fromthe

offi¢e was still untouched, which only
made the whole thing more
suspicious. The last tthey had
spoken about resignation, he had
made it clear that he had no intention
of leaving his job as a teacher. Yet a
week later, he was gone, and he had
not even bothered to send in a
resignation letter. The content is on

The men she sent after him had nothing. They could not trace him anywhere. It was as though Mr. Slade had
never existed. No wife, no children, no family, not even a lover to reach out to. He was a mystery, and Valois
could not help but wonder if he had gotten himself into skind of trouble.
Her chest tightened as she gripped the steering wheel, and without thinking twice, she started the car and drove
straight to the sporting complex. From there she went to the combat hall, searching for Angela. The examiner
told her that Angela had been injured and was taken to the hospital.
Valois wasted no tand went
there, but when she arrived the
nurses shook their heads. They
claimed that no student had been
brought in. Conteser guek ter!

otherwise? Her thoughts turned dark.
Did Angela lie just to get away? If that
was the case, then this tthe little
girl had gone too far. Valois clenched
her jaw, a cold decision forming in
her mind. If Angela wanted to play
games, she would punish her the
only way she knew how...by giving
her to the person who was meant to
have her. The content is on

With that thought burning inside her, she got back into her car and turned the wheel toward the west house. A
bitter smile curved on her lips as she pressed harder on the gas. If she was right, Angela was probably there
already, enjoying herself in Kaito’s company.
