Chapter 158: Hey, You, Red-haired boy.
"Are you alright?" Renn asked. He sat in the back seat with Kael’s head resting on his lap. They had managed to
get him into the car, and now they were on their way to the principal's house.
"I guess so," Kael murmured, trying to open his eyes. Just hearing his friends’ voices made him feel a little
better, though the pounding in his head was so strong it didn’t seem natural. Something had to be behind it.
"Thank goddess," Kaito breathed out in relief. His eyes flicked to the rearview mirror, watching them in the back
before focusing on the road again. Then he remembered the bottle of water he had left. "Give him water. It might
help."
Renn quickly reached for it. He opened the cap and handed it to Kael, who drank every drop before forcing
himself to sit upright. The car fell into a heavy silence. Each of them had questions, but none of them wanted to
be the first to ask.
"I'm having a terrible headache," Kael admitted, pressing his palms against his temples. He wished it would stop.
"Sorry about that," Renn said softly. He was simply glad they had found him. "Do you have painkillers in here,
Kaito?"
"No. | don’t keep drugs in this car."
"Why?" Renn asked, frowning.
Kaito glanced at him through the mirror. "What do you think, Renn? You expect this to be Taros’ car, where you
can find all sorts of things?"
The mention of Taros pulled a sad smile from Renn. He leaned back, staring at the roof of the car as if searching
for memories. "I just remembered him. I miss him. If he were here, Kael would already be fine. That's why I told
you from the start to take someone else with you on this journey."
"Don’t start, Renn. Not now," Kaito said firmly, his grip tightening on the steering wheel. Kael gave a weak

"Don’t mind him," Kaito added quickly, glancing at Kael. "We make a great team."
"Can you remember what happened now?" Renn asked suddenly. He knew Kaito would disapprove—they had
agreed to give Kael tto recover—but he couldn't stop himself. His curiosity burned inside him. He wanted to
know how Kael had been taken from the car, whether he remembered the face of the kidnapper or even the
place he had been held.
"Didn’t we agree on this, Renn?" Kaito said, his voice calm but edged with warning as he drove carefully.
According to the address they had taken from the principal’s office, they were getting close. Unlike the place
they had just left, this part of town was alive, filled with people going about their evening. The change in
atmosphere was striking, almost jarring.
"I do remember what happened," Kael said at last. He leaned back against the seat, his eyes half-closed as if
replaying everything in his mind. "A man cto the car with a gun. At first, | thought he only wanted to scare
me, maybe useagainst you, but | was wrong."
"What did he do?" Kaito asked quietly. He slowed the car, his focus torn between the road and Kael’'s words. He
was ready to stop completely if it meant hearing the full truth.
"He pointed the gun straight atand toldto get out or he would shootuntil | was dead," Kael
explained, his voice low but steady. "I had no choice. | followed him into the woods. I'm not an alpha, and if that
bullet was carved with moon etch, | wouldn't have lasted a few minutes. | knew it."
Renn’s hands curled into fists as Kael continued.
"There was a van waiting not far from the trees," Kael went on. "The man pushedtoward it. He told the
others not to bother coming after you because you were stronger than they expected. They knew they wouldn't
stand a chance."
"I wish they came," Renn muttered, clicking his tongue in frustration. His chest tightened at the thought. "I really
wish they had. So what happened next?"
"They didn’t say a word until one of them gavean injection on the neck," Kael said, his hand moving to the
spot where the needle had pierced his skin. Renn leaned closer to check, worry written all over his face. "I don’t
know what it was for, but they expectedto pass out. When | didn’t, they started arguing about whether the
dose was wrong."
Kael took a breath before going on. "They also argue if | was an alpha or just an ordinary wolf. It turned into a
debate because | wasn’t reacting the way they thought | would. Then one of them made a call. The driver called
the person on the other end Doc, like he was their boss. After that, they decided to dropon the road."
"Just like that?" Kaito asked in disbelief.
"Yes. They took a route that led to the highway and leftthere...exactlywhere you found me," Kael replied. His
voice grew weaker as he remembered. "Not long after, | started feeling dizzy. | tried to hold on, | waited for more
than an hour before everything went dark."
"So Doc is their boss," Kaito said slowly as he pulled the car to a stop. "Didn't you hear anything else? Something
useful from their talk?"
Kael shook his head at first, but then his eyes lit up as a memory returned. "They mentioned a hospital. That's
where they were supposed to take me."
"That's strange," Renn muttered, his thoughts racing. He remembered the papers they had found in the truck
and in Evan’s room the other day. He opened the door and stepped out, heading toward the front seat.
But before he could move further, a familiar voice called out. "Hey, you, red-haired boy."
Renn froze at once. He had never been here before, so he turned quickly, unsure who it could be. His heart
skipped when he saw her standing there. It was Angela’s mother, Miss Grace.
