<h4>Chapter 321: Eyes On The King Of West.</h4>


    Ang noticed that Kaito no longer looked excited. The light she expected to see in his eyes was missing, and it made her heart sink.


    She wondered if he had changed his mind at this very moment. His gaze was no longer on her but fixed somewhere far away, and she could tell his thoughts were just as distant.


    Her chest tightened as the fear grew inside her. At a time like this, his mind should not be divided, yet it clearly was.


    Could it have something to do with Eliza? Fear crept in as Ang slowly pulled away from his hug and followed the direction of his gaze. Her eyesnded on a couple standing close to the altar that had been built.


    She could not make out who they were. Turning to Taros, who stood by her left, she asked softly, "Who is that couple standing over there?"


    "Where?" Taros asked in a low tone as he followed her gaze. After a moment, recognition dawned on his face. "Oh, that’s Kaito’s parents. You don’t know them?"


    "I have never met any of your parents except Renn’s," Ang replied. "He introduced me to his dad, remember?" She crossed her arms over her chest, trying not to think about it or look in that direction again, but her eyes betrayed her and drifted back.


    A cold shiver ran down her spine as she swallowed hard, stealing another nce at the man who had almost ruined her life. He was Kaito’s father, the king of the west, the same man who was ready to turn her into nothing more than a machine for bearing children.


    The thought alone made her stomach churn, and nausea washed over her.


    "I know you don’t have a good history with the west pack," Taros said gently. "Not until you got to the academy."


    Ang nodded as she looked at him. He understood her without needing more words. Mighty Storm understood too, but she was too angry now. The rage burned hot inside her, pushing her to go after the king. She wanted him to hear every bit of her anger for all he had put her through in just five months.


    Mighty Storm gritted her teeth, her feet mming against the ground, just as Renn stepped in and ced his hands on Ang’s shoulders.


    His hands slid down from her chest, squeezing her breasts slightly before settling at her waist. He leaned closer and whispered, "Hey baby, don’t lose it. Not here."


    "I am very okay, Renn," Ang said as she rolled her eyes, her gaze still fixed on the couple. She could not pretend that the man standing there had not hurt her with his selfish and cruel desires. No matter how much time passed, the pain he caused still sat heavy in her chest.


    "No, you are not. Not with that face. You look like an angry bird," Renn said softly as he kissed her cheek, his lips trailing slowly to her neck.


    "I also feel like walking over there to kick his face," Hiro hissed, his brows furrowing as he kept his eyes on the king of the west.


    "I would love that too, but do not forget he is Kaito’s father," Taros said, even though he did not believe he was the one saying it. Still, it was what Kaito would do for any of them. He would always leave the final choice in the hands of the child.


    "It doesn’t matter," Kaito said firmly as he stared straight at his father. "He is a monster for what he did, and he deserves whatever ising to him."


    No one spoke after that. Their attention shifted to Kaito, and silence settled among them. They all knew what it felt like to lose a parent, one way or another. Taros stepped closer and pulled him into a hug.


    "You are stronger than all of us," Taros said with pride. "I am proud of you. Mrs. Lilian raised a strong boy."


    "I can’t agree less," Hiro added with a small smile.


    "This is beautiful to watch," Renn said quietly, his arms still wrapped around his mate.


    "I am sorry you have to go through this pain because of me," Ang said softly, her gaze dropping to the bare ground as guilt spread across her face. Her chest felt heavy, and she hated that her presence seemed to bring him this kind of hurt.


    "No, Amor. It is not your fault. Trust me," Kaito replied. He tried to smile, but it did not reach his eyes. Breaking away from Taros’s hug, he stepped back and took a breath. "Okay, guys. My father has noticed us. We can talk about himter, but not here and not without me."


    "That’s true, or else he is going to notice," Renn said. He leaned in and kissed his mate’s cheek again, earning a gentle p on his thigh. "Ouch, baby. You don’t like my kisses anymore?"


    "Pffttt, Renn," Ang sighed as she held the hands wrapped around her waist. As much as she liked what he was doing, she knew this was not the time. "Can you stop acting like you just became my boyfriend?"


    "Actually, I am the only one here who is your boyfriend," Renn said with a smirk. One hand left her waist while the other rested on her shoulder. "Do you remember, babe? We would have been together even if we were not mates."


    "Oh please, Renn. Don’t start that rubbish right now," Hiro said as he clicked his tongue, his gaze darkening.


    "I am still wondering how the both of you started dating," Kaito said, raising a hand to his head. "It makes no fucking sense. You both hated each other like mad. Did you force her into it?"


    It made Angugh. She had not expected the sudden switch from the boys. Renn never wanted them to find out the truth because once they did, he would no longer be able to boast about it the way he liked.


    She was about to tell them everything when she noticed Kaito’s parents moving in their direction. Cold chills rushed over her body, making her stiffen. All of her mates felt the change in her at once.


    "Do not be afraid. We are here by your side," Renn said softly as he rubbed her shoulders. He kissed her lips gently, then turned to face the wicked man approaching them.


    Ang nodded, forcing confidence into her posture as she waited for the couple to arrive. She watched as Kaito stepped forward to meet them halfway. He hugged the woman first, then bowed to the man with respect.


    Ang took a deep breath, slowly letting out the fury and dark energy boiling inside her. She had to stay calm. She must not expose herself, no matter how badly she wanted revenge on that evil man.


    "Look at Hiro," Mrs. Lilian said as she stretched her hands forward. Hiro took them and pulled her into a warm hug. Taros did the same, earning a softugh from her. Then she turned to Renn with a wide smile. "That is Alpha Gerald’s son."


    "I can easily tell," Kaito’s fatherughed. He nced at his wife for a brief moment before turning his attention back to Renn. "He got his mother’s hair, and it really made Gerald mad. I still remember his face when he told us that morning. Do you..."


    "Tyler," Lilian cut him off before he could say what he was not meant to say. Her voice was calm but firm. "Respect the boys, especially Renn. He is with his girlfriend, right?"


    Before Ang could respond and say that they were not a thing, Renn spoke first.


    "Yes, ma. Her name is Rose," he said smoothly. "Just like the pretty rose in the garden, she also has thorns that can burn anyone who dares to touch her."


    "Okay..." Kaito said, clearly surprised, though he could not argue with it. Still, thest part felt unnecessary. Renn sounded like he was sending a clear warning. "She is Renn’s girlfriend, Rose."


    "Nice meeting you, Rose," Lilian smiled as she brought her hand forward for a handshake. She could already tell that the girl was her son’s mate. One look at her, even with all that makeup, told Lilian they would get along just fine.


    "Thank you, ma," Ang said softly as she shook her hand, then stepped back. Mr. Tyler seemed to expect a handshake as well, but Renn did not give him the chance. His arms went around Ang again, pulling her close to his chest.


    Ang liked that. She liked how he ced himself between her and Tyler, how he did not let the man get any closer.


    "Nice to meet you," Tyler said, his voice deep as ever. His eyes lingered on her face longer than they should have. He studied her closely, as if searching his memory. Ang felt her heart m hard against her chest. "Have we met before? Your face looks familiar, even with the makeup. Are you that Toga’s kid?"


    Ang’s heart almost stopped. She stared at him, shock spreading through her body like cold fire.


    Did he just recognize her?
