Third Person POV


    Mariana froze. She suddenly remembered what had happened back at Ocean University–how Bailey had stolen Aubrey’s thesis, only for Aubrey to expose her in public, leaving Bailey humiliated and ultimately expelled. After that, Aubrey had been taken under the wing of the university’s most renowned Werewolf Doctor, epted as his final disciple.


    That mentor’s medical skill was something Mariana knew well–unquestionably among the very best. For someone like him to break precedent and take Aubrey on spoke volumes about


    her talent.


    But… was that something she could tell John?


    Biting her lip, Mariana shook her head. “I’m not really sure. But since Alpha recognizes her talent, then she probably has some.”


    “As if!” John scoffed immediately. “He’s just blinded by her. That’s why he thinks she’s good at anything! He’s just gilding her face with fake glory!”


    He sneered. “I don’t know what Alpha sees in her…”


    For a fleeting moment, he had doubted himself, wondering if Aubrey might truly be leading the Kajit virus project. But no–it had to be an illusion, a trick of hearing those Werewolf Doctors praise her day after day.


    Anyone could see the truth. That omega hardly even came to theb. How could she possibly be the core of the project? If anyone deserved respect, it was the wolf who had volunteered for the live experiments.


    John didn’t linger much longer. After excusing himself, he didn’t return to theb but instead went to the Wood family estate, intending to ask Justin for advice on pursuing a female wolf.


    Justin perked up instantly, grinning with mischief. “Who is it you’re chasing? Tell me who, and I’ll tailor a n just for you,”


    John thought it over and decided to be direct. “Aubrey. You know her, right?”


    “Huh?”


    Justin blinked, stunned for several seconds, before turning to his cab. He pulled out a small white bottle and handed it to John with mock solemnity. “Dude, you’re my best friend. That’s why I’m giving you this. When you two get together, you better treat me to a drink.”


    “What’s this?” John asked, puzzled as he took it.


    …

    “The real deal. I got it from an old witch deep in the North Forest,” Justin whispered, his tone full of mystery. “If Aubrey drinks this, she’ll fall for you instantly.”


    “Seriously?” John stared at the bottle, dumbfounded. He opened the cap to sniff, only to recoil at the unpleasant scent.


    “Careful!” Justin snatched the bottle and sealed it tight again, as if afraid a drop might spill. “Trust me. You’re my best friend–would I lie to you? This will definitely work.”


    “… Alright then. I’ll give it a try. Thanks.” John epted the bottle with half–hearted belief. If it worked, all the better–he wouldn’t have to waste time wooing her. And if it didn’t, so what? With his looks and beta charm, he was confident he could win over an omega eventually.


    After thanking Justin, John left the Wood family estate.


    As his figure disappeared from view, Justin’s grin widened. This was perfect–like someone handing him a pillow when he was dozing off. With Alpha Henry constantly blocking his path, he’d never been able to approach Aubrey himself. That carefully acquired potion had sat useless all this time.


    But now, John had delivered himself right to his door.


    Because in that potion were strands of both his and Aubrey’s hair. Once Aubrey drank it, she would fall madly in love with him.


    And then, he would holdplete control over this alpha–level ything.
