While | was discussing pain suppressants with Ginnie and the others, Waylon was escorted out by
beta werewolf guards. He’d be held in a secure location going forward-his character simply couldn’t
be trusted. And Alpha Henry’s condition absolutely had to remain a secret.
By the tthe meeting wrapped up, the sky had already darkened. | returned to my room to rest. |
used to stay up late studying or doing research, but once Alpha Henry found out, he showed up in
person to stop me. He never said anything-he’d just stand there, silently staring.
And with the kind of pressure Alpha Henry gave off? Not one of the medics could bear it. Eventually,
whenever night fell, they’d all hurry to kickout. Because if | didn’t leave, Alpha Henry would
come...
After heading out, | grabbed a quick bite and went to wash up.
Honestly, | was never someone who knew how to enjoy life. Ever since my rebirth, it was either
studying or research nonstop. But strangely enough, those days madefeel better than the idle
ones ever did. After all, | wasn’t being hunted anymore. I didn’t have to run for my life. | could
finally do what I loved. That alone was an incredible blessing.
By the tI finished bathing, it was nearly bedtime. I climbed into bed out of habit-only to notice
that Alpha Henry wasn’t looking at the files in his hand. Instead, his eyes were fixed on
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtme.
We shared a room now-two beds-so | could monitor his condition at any time.
“What is it?” | frowned at the pale look on his face. “Are you feeling sick?”
Alpha Henry stared atfor a second longer before shaking his head.
“I'm fine.”
But the moment he said it, his breath caught, and a faint sheen of sweat broke out across his. forehead.
“You don’t look fine.” | frowned deeper at the clear discomfort on his face.
He shook his head again, but his complexion looked even worse than before.
| pressed my lips together, glanced down at the file in his hands, then bent over and scooped him up.
“What are you doing?!” Alpha Henry's usual calm shattered into shock.
“Putdown, damn it!”

He was getting noisy, so | stared him down coolly. “If you don’t shut up, I'll carry you downstairs and do a full lap.
With the state you're in, there's no way you can stop me.”
The moment | said it, his whole body went stiff.
Clearly, he was afraid I'd really do it.

Which was understandable. He was a top-tier alpha, the leader of the Northern werewolves. If someone saw me-
an omega-carrying him like a princess down the stairs, it'd probably be humiliating for him.
That thought dimmed my mood a little.
There was a twhen | didn’t want to reveal our fated mate bond. | didn’t want to be with him at all. But after
what happened with the Stella Pack, I'd considered telling him the truth- that | had awakened an alpha-class wolf
spirit, and that | was his fated mate. But...
Then he got infected with the Lupine virus, and the first thing he tried to do was push me
away.
That’s when | realized-even if he loved me, he had never truly seenas his equal. Never once
treatedas someone who could stand beside him. That’s why, the moment something went
wrong, his first instinct was to shoveaway.
I pressed my lips into a thin line and said nothing more. | simply placed him gently down onto the
bed..
As soon as he landed, Alpha Henry scooted as far away fromas he could, gritting his teeth -but
ultimately, saying nothing.
“] still have documents to read,” he muttered, clearly annoyed.
1 walked over, picked up the file he’d dropped, and asked, “Wantto read it to you?”
He gavea surprised look, like he wanted to say something. But then his brows suddenly drew
tight. His hands clenched into fists.
And then-I saw it.
A subtle tremor ran through his body. A quiet, involuntary shiver.
Like he was enduring something unbearable.
“Lie down. Now,” | said sharply.
He didn’t say a word, but | knew what was happening.
The virus was acting up again.
