Chapter 127: It’s Not A Story Or Dream!
sok
They reached the pit where Hiro was kept. Stales and Alex stopped at the entrance, refusing to go in right away.
Instead, they kept nudging each other, each one trying to push the other forward to accompany Angela inside.
She watched them with surprise and asked why they were acting that way.
"Alpha Hiro is crazy," Stales muttered as he leaned against the wall, clearly unwilling to step in. "He will read our
minds and twist them until we do whatever he wants. Every full moon, his power grows stronger, and it’s harder
for him to control it."
Angela stood speechless. His words sounded dark and frightening, but no matter how dangerous it seemed, her
heart ached to see her mate. If she could, she wanted nothing more than to stay by his side. She turned to them
and said firmly, "If you don’t want to go in, then I'll go alone."
"We'll follow you," Alex quickly said, pushing Stales forward. "You can’t go in there alone while we're here. And
honestly, Stales, your fear is starting to affecttoo."
"Now you're blaming me?" Stales grumbled, rolling his eyes, but he still took the lead. Together, they went down
the stairs until Hiro appeared, already aware of their presence.
The moment his eyes landed on Angela, he reached for her hands and pulled her into his arms. "How are you?"
he asked softly, holding her close.
"I'm fine. How are you feeling?" Angela's voice carried the weight of her worry. She knew the torment he battled
with and wished she could take it from him, bear it in his place.
"For now, I'm good," Hiro said with a small smile. His relief at seeing her was clear, but his gaze showed
restraint. "You shouldn’t be down here. Today is your birthday. You should have stayed in the dorms and
celebrated with your friends."
"I can’t celebrate while you're locked away in pain," she whispered, her voice trembling.
"This is normal for us," he assured her. "We've endured it before, and we’ll keep enduring it until we find a way to
end it."
Angela sighed, her heart heavy. She knew she was the key to freeing them, yet she could do nothing until her

Hiro frowned, noticing the shadow in her eyes. "You're worried. What is it? Tell me." He didn’t read her mind,
keeping the promise he had made to her.
"It’s about a crescent moon birthmark," Angela confessed as she slowly pulled away from his embrace. Placing
her hand over her chest, she whispered, "It's here. During the last full moon, it glowed red."
Hiro’s eyes widened in shock. "That's strange. Has it ever happened before?"
"No. It was the first time," Angela explained softly. "That sday, | also discovered that | was a werewolf. And
today, | saw the smark on a stranger. For a moment | thought he could be a family member."
"I've never heard of something like that," Hiro admitted after a pause. "But you should ask Kaito. He is very close
to his father and knows a lot about signs, symbols, and old stories. He might understand what it means. By the
way, who is this stranger?"
"I don’t know him," Angela muttered, rolling her eyes as she looked away. "Principal Valois introduced him as the
sponsor of my scholarship program. But to be honest, he gavea creepy feeling."
"Principal Valois?" Hiro chuckled quietly, as though something had just connected in his mind. "That explains a
lot. I've always wondered why she was so interested in you. Do you know she stoppedmany times whenever
| tried to find out more about you? It almost felt like she was protecting you. Did you make skind of deal
with her?"
Angela blinked in shock. "She stopped you?" she asked, stunned. She had no idea the principal had been doing
that. Only the goddess could know what that woman truly wanted.
"Yes," Hiro said with a firm nod. "She blockedmore than once, even threatenedopenly. You didn’t know?"
Angela shook her head slowly. If he hadn't told her now, she would never have known. But the thought disturbed
her. Why was Valois shielding her yet still allowing Marcus to cclose? What exactly was that woman trying to
achieve?
"Something is not right at all," Angela whispered, running a shaky hand through her hair. "The man clooking
for me. He said his nis Marcus."
"I have heard of people with that name, but | can’t say if any of them is the sMarcus you're talking about,"
Hiro muttered. Suddenly, a sharp pain struck his head. He pressed both hands against his temples and gritted
his teeth as though fighting to keep control.
Angela’s heart skipped. She rushed to his side and held his arm, fear filling her eyes. "Are you alright? Did | push
you too far with all these questions?" Her voice trembled as guilt swept over her. "I'm sorry... maybe this isn’t the
right tto talk about it."
Silence filled the room. Alex and Stales walked closer, their faces dark with worry. The boy working on the chains
did not move, though he glanced at them briefly.
Angela slowly released Hiro’s arm when Stales helped him sit, hoping it would ease the strain. She turned to Alex
and asked softly, "Who is that?"
"Slade," Alex replied. "He's from the south pack. A good guy. Haven't you met him yet?"

Angela’s chest tightened. She didn’t know what to say. She never thought she had that kind of power. "Do you

Angela nodded slowly. "I'll check on Renn and Kaito before | rest."
As she turned to leave, a voice echoed in her mind—his voice, deep and steady. Good luck.
Angela froze for a moment, then looked back at him. He was smiling at her, his eyes warm. She couldn't help but
smile back before walking away with her friends.
