“You need to remember–you’re Shadowmoon Pack’s alpha. Whatever you do muste from the pack’s interests!”
Dn’s voice rang out, then dropped to a hiss. “And from what I’ve heard, Aubrey was arrested under direct orders from the alpha King. She must have angered him somehow! You cannot go inside, and you cannot defend her, or the entire Shadowmoon Pack will suffer!”
At those words, Henry’s brow furrowed slightly.
Relieved that he seemed to hesitate, Dn exhaled–only to see Henry turn, eyes steady and unyielding.
“I’m going in,” Henry said. “And I’m taking her with me.”
Dn’s eyes widened.
“Believe me,” Henry continued, “she can resolve this disaster. If you don’t believe it, then don’t stand in my way. I know exactly what I’m doing.”
“Moon Goddess above! You’vepletely lost your mind over that damned omega!” Dn’s voice broke, raw with fury. “She’s stolen your soul! You call yourself an alpha? You’re acting like a fool king!”
Henry suddenly smiled.
“Maybe you’re right.”
He pulled his arm free of Dn’s grasp.
“She has stolen my soul. And I’d dly be a fool for her.”
Dn lunged again, but Henry gave a look. Barry intercepted him instantly. For once, Henry’s patience with his uncle was gone.
“Don’t touch my clothes again. If Aubrey saw creases, she wouldn’t like it.”
Leaving Dn’s face purple with rage, Henry strode past without another word.
Inside, he found his path strangely unobstructed. That, too, surprised him.
Many eyes followed him in silence, watching his every expression. Were he here to kill Aubrey to vent his anger–or to persuade her to publicly distance herself from the Miguel family?

That was what they all spected. After all, she was only a woman, the lowest–ranked omega. He wouldn’t risk the entire werewolf world for her.
Ten minutester, ignoring every nce, Henry passed checkpoint after checkpoint until atst he reached Aubrey. <fnb6a1> The rightful source is fin?novel</fnb6a1>
“Alpha…” Xavier shot to his feet, but Henry pressed a finger to his lips for silence.
He didn’t need to go closer to know Aubrey was asleep.
“How is she?” Henry asked in a low voice.
Xavier answered just as quietly. “She’s fine. Her wounds have already healed.
“Good…”
Atst, Henry’s heart, strung tight all the way here, finally eased.
Xavier hesitated. He didn’t know the full picture outside, but he knew the families of the infected had stormed the istion zone earlier. Only armed suppression had driven them away. Surely countless matters needed the alpha’s attention–he shouldn’t be here.
And Henry knew that, too.
But…
He looked at Aubrey and whispered, “I wasn’t there when she was in danger. So I swore, when she woke, the first thing she would see would be me.”
The sincerity in his voice silenced Xavier. His throat tightened. The words he’d meant to say withered unsaid. Atst he sighed.
“You… may be right.”
Outside, the crisis raged, every second critical.
Yet Henry only sent out hurried messages on his phone, refusing even calls, and then sat silently at Aubrey’s side for two hours. If the outside world knew, they would lose their minds.
“…Henry?”
A faint voice stirred him. Henry startled, setting his phone aside at once.
“You’re awake?” He rushed to her bedside, speaking gently. “How do you feel? Can you move?”
Aubrey sat up, surprise flooding her chest. She had never imagined that when she opened her

eyes, the very first person she would see… was alpha Henry.
