CHAPTER 110: FINDING THEIR MATES

"Why did you have to act like that, Dad?" Renn asked after Angel left with her mother. "You can’t have anything to do with that woman. She is Angel’s mother for crying out loud."

"If you say so, son," Alpha Gerald replied. The smile on his face faded now that there was no one close by he needed to impress.

"I wanted to ask if anything about the Central House was discussed in the meeting this morning," Renn said. He wanted to know if Principal Valois had told the board about Evan, since she had failed to contact them after the twenty-four hours she had given were over.

"Nothing about it. Is there something going on there?" Gerald asked, his interest sharpening.

Before Renn could reply, he spotted Principal Valois coming their way. He rolled his eyes as she walked past without so much as a word to them.

"Is that woman still disturbing you?" Alpha Gerald asked, glaring at Principal Valois with open disdain.

"No. We barely see each other."

"Good. I don’t want her anywhere near you, especially now that you are about to find your mate," Gerald said. He shifted to the edge of his seat and added, "Have you caught her scent yet, or had any hint of who she might be?"

"No," Renn said with a casual shrug. He had no intention of telling his father that he had caught his mate’s scent twice already.

"No hints at all?" Alpha Gerald was surprised. When Renn nodded, he went on. "You see, it doesn’t always have to be through scent or a pull. You might see her in your dreams or even speak to her in your mind before meeting her in person."

"Wait... you said dreams?" Renn asked quickly.

"Yes, son," his father replied. "Dreams that feel real. Your mother had the same experience."

Renn’s heart skipped. He had experienced something like that with Angel, but only once. Could it mean that Angel was his fated mate? No... it couldn’t be. She wasn’t even a werewolf. The prophecy clearly said their mate would be a werewolf.

"Have you seen her in your dreams lately?"

"No, Dad," Renn lied again. He was interested in the conversation, but his mind kept drifting to Angela. He wanted to go after her and ask questions that had been eating at him. "How many times am I supposed to have this dream?"

"Countless. It depends on what you want," Gerald explained.

"Can a human be my fated mate?"

"No. A she-wolf was promised to us," Gerald told him firmly. "It cannot be a human. If you saw a human in your dream, then something is wrong."

"No, Dad. I didn’t see anything," Renn said, ending the conversation.

But his mind refused to rest. What was the link between Angela and his mate?

After his family left, he went back to the dormitory to rest before evening, yet his thoughts would not leave him alone. He decided to talk to Kaito about it. Hiro crossed his mind, but he knew Parent’s Day was always hard on him. It reminded him of everything he had lost, and Renn felt it was better to let him be.

He dressed and made his way to the West House. Inside, he found both Taros and Kaito. Angela was not there. Good.

"So you met a girl in your dream?" Taros said in surprise, sitting on the couch as if trying to piece the story together. "Is she from the Luna Girls school?"

"Can you calm down, please?" Renn said, trying to keep his tone polite. He turned to Kaito, whose face was unreadable. "It wasn’t exactly a dream. It felt real. We spoke like we were awake, and she knew it wasn’t a dream."

"Wow... a human mate?" Taros said, still stunned. Everyone believed the moon goddess gave only one fated mate, and it was always a wolf.

"I wanted us to talk about our mates, but none of you seemed ready for that conversation," Kaito said with a frown. "I know we all want to claim her before the other, but this is not helping us. We are only pushing ourselves further away from her."

"I think Hiro needs to be here as well," Renn said, picking up his phone to call him. He made sure Hiro left whatever he was doing and came to the West House. In less than thirty minutes, Hiro arrived alone, looking curious about what was going on.

"We are discussing our mate," Renn told him.

"Oh, okay," Hiro said as he sat on the couch beside Taros. "I hate the fact that we have to share a mate, a school, and even birthdays. Now we have to share ideas too."

"Don’t start, Hiro. I know you are already upset about today, but it’s important we talk about her," Taros replied.

"May their souls rest in peace... your parents," Kaito said softly, his voice filled with concern. He knew exactly how it felt to lose someone dear.

Hiro gave a small nod. "So what are we discussing?"

"No more lies," Kaito said firmly. "The last full moon, I caught her scent right in front of my dormitory. When I came, I saw you both already waiting. After you left, the scent faded, but I still caught a trace of it in my room. According to Angel, my mate—our mate—came looking for me and knocked her down. That’s how she ended up with my mate’s scent all over her."

"Wait a minute..." Hiro leaned forward, surprise flashing across his face. "Angel told me the exact same thing, except she said she met my mate on the stairs, not in the room. And that’s how she got her scent."

"She told me the same thing," Taros added. "My mate knocked her down when she came looking for me. Angel never said if it was in the room or the stairs. I don’t remember exactly, but it happened inside the dormitory."

The three of them turned to Renn for his story. He shook his head. "We didn’t talk about that. How come you all ended up with the same story?"

"Angela lied to us," Hiro said, standing up. His hands clenched into fists as he remembered the morning he had questioned her about his mate. "She is smarter than we thought. We underestimated her because of her small size."

"I am ashamed of you guys," Renn said quietly. "And I am ashamed of myself too. How did one girl manage to make a fool out of all of us?"

"We have to find Angela," Kaito said, also rising to his feet. He went to the wardrobe and pulled out his black jacket. "She has a lot of explaining to do."

"I guess she does," Renn agreed. He felt like a fool but tried to keep his anger in check.

"She will have no choice but to talk," Taros said. At that moment, his phone beeped. A message from Angela appeared on the screen, giving both the time and location for a meeting. Before Taros could speak, they all received the same message.

"Let’s go and meet her then."
