    Alpha Henry feared Aubrey would panic, so while directing his men, he kept speaking to her.


    “Aubrey, don’t be afraid. We’ll find you soon. This ravine isn’t that big–it won’t take long. Don’t be afraid!”


    His tone was steady, meant to reassure, but the order of his words betrayed him. He was so tense he could hardly string them together. That repeated “don’t be afraid“-was it for Aubrey, or for himself?


    Aubrey pressed her back tight against the cliff wall, her breaths shallow and slow.


    Only when the falling gravel finally stopped did she release a long breath. Cold sweat drenched her forehead.


    Her hands were numb from the icy wind, but when she heard Alpha Henry’s voice, her fingers trembled as she typed a reply.


    “I’m not afraid. You don’t be afraid either!”


    Henry’s heart clenched hard. He bit down on his lips to keep from breaking.


    It was pitch–ck around Aubrey. She couldn’t see a thing except for the faint glow of the phone. The ledge beneath her could crumble at any second, sending her to her death.


    How could she not be afraid?


    And how could he not be?


    Forcing down his fear, Henry drew a deep breath and spoke with deliberate force.


    “Yeah. You’ll be fine. Absolutely fine!”


    Then he made himself chuckle, his voice light. “I’m right below you. Very close. Believe me.”


    The words sounded almost casual, yet some of the listeners felt a heavy weight in their chests.


    That cold, powerful Alpha, usually untouchable–now stumbling over words for Aubrey’s sake.


    In that moment, everyone prayed Henry would reach her quickly.


    But Roar Mountain was brutally high. Even if Aubrey was only ten or twenty meters away, using soundwave measurements to pinpoint her location still took time. Henry was burning with

    impatience. If not for the strong winds that grounded the drones, he wouldn’t be stuck waiting


    like this.


    Then, another tremor shook the ledge. Aubrey felt the stone tilt beneath her. It had been t before–now it was angling downward.


    Her heart mmed against her ribs, but her mind had never been sharper.


    She steadied her bnce and typed quickly. <fn0027> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? f?i?n?d?n?o?v?e?l?</fn0027>


    “Alpha, I have a way for you to find me.”


    Henry stiffened. Something was wrong. If there had been a way, she wouldn’t have waited until now. Still, he asked, “What way?”


    Aubrey swallowed, pressed close to the stone wall, and after a deep breath, typed again.


    “I took a gun off the werewolf who chased me. I haven’t used it because any loud noise might destabilize the tform and make it copse. But just now, I realized the rock is already giving way. I don’t have much time… so you need to set the detector to receive. I’m going to fire.”


    “No!” Henry’s voice broke sharp. “In your condition, firing will only make it worse!”


    “There’s no faster way.”


    Her judgment was calm, her lips curving faintly into a smile that carried a meaning no one else could read.


    “Alpha Henry, this is the best option we have.”


    She knew she had no other choice. All she could do now was gamble.
