NovelEnglishChapter 136 The Lie | Chose
Henry’s POV
“Alpha, please cat a little. Even the strongest alpha on the continent still needs food when he’s
sick.”
Mariana stood beforewith a bowl of hot soup, her round doe eyes filled with concern.
I stared at her blankly, but inside, my disgust boiled over.
+8 Pearts
I never liked Mariana. The only reason | treated her decently before was because she once saved
me. But now that | knew who she really was, I felt nothing but revulsion. And yet... | had to keep her
close. For now, she was necessary for the part she was playing-our so-called “devoted heroine.”
Seven days ago, after saving Aubrey in Gold Mountain, the virus in my body finally exploded. It hit
hard. fast, and fierce-and in the chaos of the final pursuit, | got hit with a poisoned arrow laced with
werewolf
venom.
Between the arrow and the virus, | lost a dangerous amount of blood. I nearly died there on that
mountain.
But somehow-miraculously-1 held on. I didn’t die. | kept breathing.
When | was secretly brought back to Shadowmoon Pack, the wolf healer Yan Xu examined me
thoroughly... and then discovered somethin

A needle. Buried deep in my chest. Working its way out.
He gasped, eyes wide. “This needle-I remember it! Alph
you once cto me, saying Aubrey stabbed a needle into you. | even praised her-an omega that young, skilled
in ancient dry needling? But now | understand. That wasn’t just any needle. This wasn’t one of those temporary
needles used to buy a few minutes to administer aid. This was a rare technique-it’s lasted far longer than any
standard technique. That means the person who used it has incredible energy control! Alpha, we need to bring
Aubrey here to treat you!”
“Not”
I refused immediately.
| wasn’t going to risk Aubrey-not for anything. The virus insidewas deadly to omegas. She was only
eighteen. She didn’t deserve to pay for my life with hers.
| also made it clear that no one was to speak a word about how I'd skipped the antibody injection to save her.
Later, my father gathered more wolf lealers, the best he could find, but none of them could help. In the end, they
began praying to the Moon/Goddess for a miracle,
A miracle. | scoffed at that. A dying Alpha doesn’t need vague promises or whispered hopes. He needs to make
sure his Pack survives after he’s 5 gone.
So | started planning. Choosing a successor. Reviewing land ledgers. Restructuring patrol routes. My father was
too old to lead anymore. Shadowmoon Pack needed strength after me.
As for Aubrey, | had someone tell Jax she got hurt falling off a cliff during a trip. | didn’t want anyone to know
she’d cracked the T-flu virus. If | die, who's left to protect an omega like her?

After that, | brought Mariana in, told her to stay by my side, and ordered my betas to spread rumors that she had
rushed to Stella Pack to save me.
| figured that once Aubrey heard the news... she wouldn't cseeagain.
Damn it
I'd worked so hard to chip away at her frozen heart-only to turn away now, to walk away just when she was
starting to letin.
Then, just as that bitter thought settled in, the beta steward contactedthrough the mind link.
“Alpha, Miss Mary is here. She’s right outside. Should we let her in?”
Aubrey?
She actually came?
My heart leapt-then sank, hard.
These past days, my father and the top healers had tried everything to keepalive. But it hadn't
worked. | was dying. Soon. And I didn’t want her to seelike this-rotting, fading, weak.
Especially not her. The woman | love.
Yes. Love.
Me. The alpha who always put pack interests above all else—I'd fallen in love, for the first time. And
1 chose to love her in silence.
If she believes | abandoned her... if she hears about my death and feels nothing but
disappointment-at least she won’t grieve too deeply.
What a noble lie, huh?
I never thought I'd go this far... for an omega.
Aubrey. | love you. And I’m sorry- But I’'m going to lie to you.
