<h4>Chapter 210: You Like Her.</h4>


    His brows knitted as he looked down at the pretty girl in front of him. She was clearly annoyed, and it bothered him more than he wanted to admit. Kaito knew he had to keep pretending, because if Ang found out what Mr. de had said, she would not rest until she proved herself right. She would throw herself into the middle of it and do whatever it took to keep everyone safe. That was who she was, and that was what scared him most.


    "Something is going on and you think I don’t have the right to know?" Ang asked, frowning deeply. Her tone was sharp, her patience already gone.


    "Nothing is going on. I just want you to be extra careful," he said, trying to smile, but it only fueled her anger. She hit his chest with her hand, muttering in frustration. "Hey, can you calm down? You have a date to get ready for."


    "It’s none of your business," she hissed, walking toward the couch. She picked up the new hat Hiro had given herst week. She hadn’t expected it, but she loved it the moment she saw it. Hugging it close, she turned back to him. "Since you’re keeping things from me, I don’t want you to take me there. I’ll go myself."


    "What?" Kaito’s voice caught, his eyes wide in shock.


    Ang met his stare as if his reaction didn’t affect her, but the small curve at the edge of her lips betrayed her. "I don’t want you to know my things either. Stay away."


    "Don’t you think I’ve tried?" Kaito asked as he walked closer. He reached for her hand, but she pushed him away. He sighed, then put both his hands behind his back. "Fine. I’ll keep my distance."


    The sight of him holding back made her chest ache. She wanted to tell him that wasn’t what she meant, but her pride kept her quiet.


    "I’m allowing you to go to Taros," he said, his voice low and strained. "But if you asked me for my honest answer, it would be no. No, even if it meant locking you in this room. But I can’t do that. I couldn’t live with myself knowing I hurt you."


    "I know, Kaito." She rubbed her neck, the nervous habit showing her frustration. "None of us wanted this, but I have to do it. If I don’t, it will ruin everything. Losing any of you would leave a hole in my heart I could never fill."


    "I understand, my queen," he whispered, the words soft but firm. "That’s why I won’t stop you."


    "Thank you," she said, though her eyes still burned. "But don’t think I’ll forget what we were talking about."


    "She never forgets," he muttered, pressing his fingers against his forehead.


    "Yes, I don’t. And right now, you’re acting like something terrible is about to happen. So I’ll ask you onest time...what the hell is going on? Are we in danger?"


    Kaito looked at her for a long moment. He could never tell her the truth, not now. "No. It only sounded that way because of Marcus. We have to be ready at all times to stop him froming close to you. I don’t know if you understand me."


    "Fine, Kaito. You don’t have to remind me that I have a terrible father," Ang said quietly as she tucked all her hair into the hat. "Let’s go."

    "Sorry. I didn’t mean it like that." His voice softened as he opened the door, guilt running through him, but this was the only way to keep her safe. They stepped outside and got into the car. He started the engine and drove out quickly. When they left the academy behind, he broke the silence. "That woman who betrayed you to Marcus the other day, what was her name again?"


    "Eliza," Ang answered, surprised he brought her up now. Curiosity stirred inside her, but she held back. If she pushed too hard, they would end up fighting again.


    "Eliza... did you say she worked for them?"


    "Yes, Kaito. But why are you asking about it now?"


    He nced at her before turning back to the road. "Nothing, Ang. You shouldn’t always think I’m asking something because I’m hiding something. You should have been a detective with the way you question everything."


    She rolled her eyes and sank back into her seat. He didn’t push further, knowing it would only feed her doubts.


    The car filled with music, and the silence between them grew heavier. In less than twenty minutes, they pulled up in front of a five star hotel. Kaito steered into the parking lot, not surprised at the sight. Taros always knew how to impress, and this was no different.


    "This is beautiful," Ang said, her eyes wide as she took in another side of Mistvale. The ce looked quiet and full of charm. "What do you think?"


    "That you deserve this and more. I’m d he brought you here. You are going to enjoy yourself," Kaito replied as he got out of the car. He walked around to her side and opened the door for her.


    "Thank you," she said softly, stepping out beside him.


    Kaito wanted to lean in and kiss her but when he saw Taros approaching, he pulled back and got into his car instead. He drove off quickly, not wanting to ruin her night. Still, his chest ached. He could hide his feelings all he wanted, but his heart was on fire knowing she would spend nights with the others. They were going to share her for the rest of their lives, and he had no choice but to ept it.


    Vargr, however, had no problem with it. His wolf craved Ang more than anything, and the bond only grew stronger when she challenged him. She had no idea what it meant when she wished to call out his wolf. He would never risk that again, never let anyone summon the beast within.


    Kaito pulled out his phone and texted Hiro, asking for Eliza’s location. He also called Alex and told him to meet up. Ten minutester, he drove into the busy market square of Mistvale, its noise and crowd as restless as ever.


    He parked and stepped out, scanning the ce until he spotted Alex near a bar. He walked toward him.


    "Alpha, what’s the n?" Alex asked as he zipped up his jacket. He was dressed fully in ck, a cap pulled low over his head.


    "Hiro sent me her location. We are going to her now. I already told you what needs to be done," Kaito said firmly, and Alex gave a small nod. "Good. Let’s go."


    They returned to the car and drove to the address Hiro had given. It led them to a perfume store. From the outside, everything looked normal, which made Kaito wonder where Eliza could be hiding.


    "Are we going in?" Alex asked as he unbuckled his seat belt.


    "No. Did you feed Mr. de?"


    "Yes, I did."


    "Good."


    "Still, I don’t feel right lying to Ang," Alex admitted, his voice low.


    Kaito turned to him with his brows drawn tight. "I hope you are not falling for her?" He caught the sh of shock on Alex’s face, the silence louder than any answer. Kaito’s eyes narrowed. "I think you like her more than a friend should."
