<h4>Chapter 193: Kaine.</h4>


    Just a little? How many bottles did you have?" Stales asked, shaking his head.


    Ang wanted to go after them and speak to Alex, but her heart pulled her back to Kaito. He needed her when he woke. She went inside and began to clean the room quietly.


    When she was done, she sat on the couch. She chose not to lie beside him. If he woke up and found her there, he might be angry, and they had not yet solved their differences. It was safer to keep some distance.


    She was about to close her eyes when his voice broke the silence.


    "Kaine..."


    Ang sat up at once. The name stirred something inside her. She knew she had heard it before. After a moment of thought, she remembered. Kaito had called that same name in his sleep once before. Her chest tightened with unease.


    Who was Kaine, and why did he keep calling her name?


    Angy back with so many questions running through her heart. The name he called out kept haunting her. Kaine had to be his girlfriend. Alex swore he didn’t know anyone with that name, and even Taros was clueless. But then, what if Kaito had a secret girlfriend he never spoke about?


    "Kaine... I am sorry," Kaito cried out in his sleep again.


    Jealousy rushed through Ang, making it hard to close her eyes. How dare he dream about another woman right beside her?


    "He is not doing it on purpose," her wolf whispered gently. "He is trapped in a nightmare."


    "About Kaine?" Ang hissed, crossing her arms over her chest. She refused to let her wolf soften her heart. "When has he ever called my name in his sleep?"


    "I know something is wrong," Mighty Stormy pressed. "No one calls out like that unless they are in pain."


    Ang shook her head, pushing her wolf’s words away. She told herself she would block it out, put a pillow over her ears, and just sleep. But sleep refused toe. She had already spent the whole week restless, trying to figure out how to fix things between them, yet his mind seemed to be elsewhere... on Kaine.


    "Forgive me... please. Kaine, stay with me," Kaito pleaded once more.


    Ang sat up, her chest tightening. He wasn’t going to stop, and each word cut through her. She got out of bed and walked to where hey. When she looked at his face, her heart skipped. He looked far from peaceful.


    Beads of sweat covered his forehead, his body trembling every now and then. Fear was written across his expression even in sleep. Her wolf had been right all along. Something was terribly wrong. How could she have been so foolish to think he was enjoying these dreams?


    She touched his forehead and gasped. His skin burned under her palm. He must have been running a fever for hours and no one noticed. Panic filled her as she tried to think of what to do. She had never dealt with something like this before.


    "Kaito, can you hear me?" she whispered, but there was no response.


    She rushed to the bathroom, filled a bowl with water, and grabbed her hand towel. Sitting beside him, she dipped the towel into the cold water andid it on his forehead. He kept mumbling the same words, calling that woman’s name, but Ang forced herself to ignore the sting in her chest. Right now, she had to fight her jealousy and focus on bringing him back to her.


    "If you can hear me, then please open your eyes," she whispered, holding his hand tightly and pressing her lips against it. Her voice trembled as she kissed his skin, but he gave no sign that he heard her. She continued to cool his burning skin, dipping the towel again and again, hoping it would help.


    An idea suddenly came to her, though she wasn’t sure if it was the right thing to do. His shirt was still on. She pulled the nket away and carefully unbuttoned it, sliding the shirt off his body.


    Her breath caught when his chest was revealed. She had seen him before, hugged him so many times, yet in this moment, looking at him like this, she felt something deeper. He was strong, powerful, beautiful, but none of that mattered now. Pity filled her heart as she realized how much pain he must be in.


    She pushed their differences aside. All she wanted was for him to get better. But nothing seemed to be working, and the panic rising in her chest grew heavier. Ang stood from the bed, uncertain what to do next. The night was quiet, most of the students already asleep after the long exhausting day.


    She picked up her phone and quickly dialed Alex’s number, praying he would answer. The call rang four times with no response. He was probably drunk and passed out. "Damn it... who should I call?" she whispered, almost in tears.


    Ang went to the door, deciding to knock on any senior’s room for help. Just as she opened it, she froze. Renn was standing right there. The shock made her heart jump because she hadn’t expected him.


    "I heard you. You sounded scared. Is something wrong?" Renn asked, his brows furrowed with worry as he reached out and hugged her.


    Ang leaned against him, closing her eyes for just a moment, letting herself feel thefort of his arms. The bond between them was growing, and she wished she could share this kind of closeness with the rest of her mates too.


    "Kaito is sick," Ang said softly, pulling back and looking at him with troubled eyes. "I don’t know what’s wrong with him."
