Chapter 255: It Was Fury.
"No, Kaito, it won’t work like this," Hiro rushed to where he was and tried to stop him from choking the principal. Taros did nothing. He sat on the chair, watching.
The moment Dave entered the office, he ran to help Hiro stop Kaito from killing her. After a struggle, they managed to pull him away, or maybe he let go on his own.
"Tell her to talk," Kaito’s voice thundered through the room. He paced back and forth, his chest rising and falling with rage. "Do you know what this woman has done today? Look at Renn’s condition. Where is Angela? Who did you give her to? She didn’t deserve what you put her through."
"I didn’t do anything to her," Miss Valois coughed, her voice trembling. Her eyes were red, her body shaking from pain and fear. She couldn’t tell if it was from Kaito’s grip or the terror of what might come next if she didn’t talk.
"Stop lying, you crazy woman!" Taros shouted, standing from his seat. His eyes burned with fury as he walked toward her. She looked like she would melt into the floor. Every breath she took was filled with fear. But it was all her fault.
If she hadn’t handed their mate to that man Marcus, they wouldn’t be here like this.
"As much as I want to tear your head off, we need to fix your face first," Hiro hissed, motioning for Taros to use his power to stop her bleeding.
"True. She looks like the devil himself," Seraphina muttered, covering her nose.
"Trust me, she is one," Dr. Dave said, surprising her.
"I can explain what happened," Miss Valois cried, tears rolling down her bruised cheeks. Each tear burned, but she didn’t dare wipe them. She wasn’t sure if these Alphas would let her leave alive.
To make it worse, her phone was in her car. She couldn’t call anyone, couldn’t tell the board members to save her from this den of lions.
"Explain what?" Hiro yelled, then stopped himself, realizing he needed to stay calm. His brothers were already on the edge. "Do you understand what you’re saying? If you tell us how to find our mate, we’ll heal you."
Miss Valois froze at his words. She turned to her nephew standing beside Kaito. He gave her a cold nod. He wasn’t going to help her until she did what they wanted.
"I am in so much pain right now," Miss Valois sobbed as she looked at each of them standing before her. The cold looks on their faces told her she didn’t stand a chance unless she did exactly what they said.
"Who cares about your pain?" Kaito’s hand curled into a fist, his jaw tightening. He wanted to hit her but stopped himself. She already looked half dead.
"Do you know the pain Angela is going through because of you?" Taros asked, his voice sharp with anger and disappointment.
"Ma, just tell them the truth," Seraphina said softly. She didn’t want things to get worse for Angela wherever she was.
Miss Valois nodded weakly. Her lips trembled as she lifted her eyes. "It’s Marcus," she said in a shaking voice. "I handed Angela to her father."
"Why?" Kaito’s voice rose like thunder. "Why would you do that?" He felt his blood boil again, his heart pounding with fury. He knew if he didn’t control himself, he would destroy everything in that room.
"Why? I had to," Principal Valois cried out. "She’s been in this academy pretending to be a boy. Do you know what would happen if the board found out?" She frowned, pain twisting her face as Dave handed her a clean towel.
"It doesn’t matter," Hiro said, his tone heavy. "What you did was wrong. If you didn’t want her here, you could have told her to leave. You didn’t have to sell her to Marcus."
"I didn’t sell her," she said quickly, shaking her head. "There was no money. I swear."
"You sold her out for another reason," Taros said coldly. "It doesn’t have to be money."
"You failed her, Principal Valois," Kaito said quietly, his voice breaking with sadness. "You couldn’t protect a girl who came to you for safety. You proved you can’t be a mother to anyone... not even your own son."
Principal Valois froze, her heart pounding in her chest. Did Kaito know? Did he find out that she was Renn’s mother? If he did, it was bad. If Renn told his brothers, the truth would spread, and she didn’t want that.
"She can’t even deny it," Hiro said, shaking his head in pity. "Just tell us how to get Angela back from the Malynsters. We want her today. Only the goddess knows what she’s going through right now."
"The goddess is her grandmother," Principal Valois said weakly.
"We heard that yesterday," Seraphina muttered as she rolled her eyes and sat down, her heart heavy with worry.
"Tell us what the Malynster’s villa is like. Do they have powers like us? How many are they?" Kaito asked, his voice tight with desperation. He couldn’t imagine life without Angela. None of them could. They had to find her, no matter what it took.
Before the principal could answer, a loud cry came from outside. She jumped to her feet, her heart racing as fear gripped her. The sound pierced through the walls, and her first thought was of Renn. Had something happened to her son?
"Renn," she called out, her voice shaking. Her heart thumped painfully in her chest.
"Stop acting like you care," Kaito said coldly, brushing past her. He pushed the door open, and the noise outside grew louder.
A crowd of people was rushing into the hospital, their faces pale with fear. Some stumbled, trying to find safety. Kaito was about to ask what was happening when Alex appeared with Samuel and Stales, helping people inside. They quickly locked the doors behind them.
"What the hell is going on?" Kaito asked, his voice echoing through the hallway.
"I don’t know," Samuel said, breathing heavily. "But we can’t go out yet. There are more than twenty vans coming this way, and the security couldn’t stop them."
Hiro rubbed his face in frustration. "What is happening today?" he muttered. This day was supposed to be special. He was supposed to claim his mate, to finally make her his. But instead, it had become the worst day of his life.
"We can see through my window," Dr. Dave said as he moved toward it and pulled the curtain aside. Everyone turned to look. The vans had already reached the hospital and surrounded the entire building. From one of them, a young woman stepped out. She had the longest black hair Dave had ever seen, and her fitted black gown hugged her body, showing off her perfect shape.
She was beautiful, but there was something dangerous about her beauty. The kind that warned you she could kill without a second thought.
"Who is she?" Dr. Dave asked, frowning.
"I don’t know," Kaito said, his eyes narrowing. He looked at his brothers, but they were just as confused.
Then another van door opened, and Marcus stepped out. He wore dark glasses with a black shirt and trousers, his face calm but cold. When he took off his glasses, his red eyes glowed with rage. He looked furious, like someone ready for war.
"The fool. I’m going to deal with him," Taros growled, his jaw tightening. He stormed out of the room, heading for the entrance.
"Let’s go after him," Kaito said quickly. He turned to Principal Valois. "You’re coming with us."
"What’s going on?" she asked, fear shaking her voice. She hadn’t yet seen the visitors outside.
No one answered her. They all marched to the door, waiting for the next course of action.
"What’s the plan?" Hiro asked, glancing at his brothers as he reached for the handle.
"Wait," Kaito said suddenly. His eyes focused on the glass wall ahead. Something felt wrong. The lady who came with Marcus lifted her hands, and fire began to swirl in her palms.
Before Kaito could warn the others, she threw the flames with deadly speed.
It wasn’t just fire. It was fury. She attacked without hesitation, and within seconds, the heat filled the air, burning everything in its path.
