<h4>Chapter 218: Who Is She? II.</h4>


    "I am still waiting, Kaito, and don’t you dare lie to me," Ang said, her hands firm on her waist. Anger burned inside her, mixing with annoyance. She could feel her patience breaking apart. If he tried to twist his words again, she would snap. Her eyes shifted to Alex, and when he refused to meet her gaze, it only confirmed her fear that something was being hidden. "Someone better exin to me right now."


    "Calm down, Ang. You are getting too worked up," Taros tried to reason with her, but his words only fueled her anger more.


    "Whose side are you even on? Because if you are messing with me, then keep your mouth shut and don’t defend your friend," she snapped, her voice sharp with the weight of her alpha tone. It was already toote to hold it back. The rage inside her refused to be contained.


    "Fine. I will exin what happened," Kaito finally said, his jaw tight. He hadn’t expected her to be this furious over a scent in his car, but now he had no choice. Looking up at her, he saw the fire in her eyes, demanding the truth. "Seraphina was in my car. The scent belonged to her."


    "Who the hell is Seraphina?" Ang’s brows pulled together, confusion and disbelief clouding her face. She stepped closer until she was standing right in front of him. If he was going to lie, she would force him to do it while staring into her eyes.


    "I think he is lying. We don’t know anyone with that name," Taros muttered with a chuckle.


    "I knew it," Ang whispered bitterly, shaking her head in disappointment. Her gaze drifted to Alex who stood leaning against the car, silent, waiting for his Alpha to defend him, but the silence made it worse. Nothing about this was convincing her.


    "I am not lying, Ang," Kaito said firmly. "Seraphina’s mother owned a bar. That’s where I met her. She had a crush on me, but I didn’t even realize until the day she gave me her number. After that, I never saw her again, except the night we got chased from the bar twice."


    "Oh... so that’s her name?" Taros asked slowly, scratching the back of his head. Realization dawned on him, though he hadn’t expected the girl to be the one causing trouble now.


    "Yes. She told me you were at the other bar the other night," Kaito reminded him.


    "But I didn’t get the chance to talk with her. Her angry mother sent men after us," Taros added with a shrug. "It’s a pity, because she is a beautiful girl, but her mother doesn’t let anyone get close. She fears the girl might fall for the wrong person."


    "Exactly. She mistook her crush on me for something serious," Kaito said, shaking his head in pity. Then he remembered his mate was standing there, watching him.


    "Wait, is she the blonde from the bar?" Ang turned sharply to Taros. He gave a small nod, and she pressed on. "Then how did she end up in Kaito’s car?"


    "You know her?" Kaito asked, startled. He had never taken Ang to that bar, which meant Taros must have. A wave of dread ran through him. This was not good at all.


    "It doesn’t matter if I know her. Why did you give her a lift?" Ang demanded. She shoved Kaito back, but he barely moved. He stood his ground, trying to reach out for her, but she pulled her hands away, refusing his touch.


    "She saw something she wasn’t supposed to see, so we had to make sure she understood the risk," Alex spoke up for the first time.


    Kaito was surprised he had joined in, but he quickly followed his lead. They weren’t lying, but they also weren’t telling her everything. "You must be wondering what she saw. I fought inside one of the stores and I lost control. I bit someone. She was there when it happened, so I had to take care of her."


    "You did what?" Taros blurted out in shock. He stared at Kaito with wide eyes, unable to believe what he had just heard. Kaito was always careful, always in control. For him to lose it and bite someone meant something serious had pushed him past his limit.


    "What does that mean?" Ang asked, her face full of confusion. She was still learning about the ways of werewolves and needed time to understand, but the fear in her voice showed she already sensed how grave it was.


    "He gave someone a poisonous bite," Taros exined carefully, his eyes never leaving Kaito. "And if this person doesn’t find a cure within the next seventy two hours, he or she will die. That is the most time a werewolf can survive it."


    Ang’s lips parted but no words came out. Taros’ exnation hit her harder than she expected. This was not just a mistake, it was murder waiting to happen. Didn’t Kaito know that? How could he risk something like this?


    "I am going to bed. I don’t want to hear the rest of this story," she said atst, her voice trembling as she turned away. She walked to Taros and gave him a hug, holding onto him for a brief moment before she disappeared into the dormitory.


    When she was gone for a while, Taros moved closer to Kaito and lowered his voice. "What is really going on? I know you would never bite someone unless it was serious."

    "Thank you for believing in me, buddy," Kaito said with a sad smile. "You need to rest tonight, not add more stress. I will tell you everything tomorrow."


    "Alright, man. Take care," Taros muttered, though the worry still clouded his face as he walked back to his car.


    "I knew she was going to be pissed," Alex said once they were alone. "I keep wondering what will happen if she finds out that Seraphina isn’t far from her. She is close."


    "You don’t have to worry about that," Kaito replied firmly. "I will talk to her myself."
