48 Pearls
Deep in the cave, Ulrich’s expression was dark enough to bleed ink. One slip had doomed him
forever. He hadn’t expected that letting his guard down for just a moment would drive him straight
into a death trap.
“Alpha, what do we do now? We’ve only got a few men left!”
Silence weighed heavy in the air, broken only by panicked, ragged breathing that made the space
feel suffocating.
Their retreat was blocked. Every other direction was thick with virus-laden air. Only this narrow
corridor was safe, its structure somehow shielding it from contamination.
At this point, Ulrich had just three beta warriors left at his side.
The ever-present fear of the virus loomed over them like a noose. With enemies lying in wait
outside and danger pressing in from all sides, their bodies and minds were stretched to the
breaking point—each one of them drawn as tight as a bowstring, one misstep away from snapping.
This time, Ulrich had brought only the men he trusted most. If they died here, his own fate was
sealed.
That was when a slick, taunting voice echoed through the shadows.
“How pitiful. Want to live? Beg me. Maybe I'll give you a sliver of hope.”
Ulrich froze. That voice-he finally knew who it was.
His composure shattered. “Mateo! It’s you?!”
Or rather, of course it was him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnly Alpha Mateo would dare help Aubrey pull off something this insane.
Aubrey had saved Mateo’s brother, and the Zach family made their living off bounty contracts. If Ulrich died
here, the payout from those who had placed a price on his head would be astronomical-at least half a billion.
And that wasn’t even counting the vast fortune stored in this very cave.
Damn it. A cold certainty clawed at Ulrich’s spine: this time, he might actually die here.

But he forced himself to calm down. He clenched his jaw and spoke through gritted teeth. “Mateo, you're really
going to killfor Aubrey? Do you even know what lies deeper in this cave? Help me, and I'll give you a billion.
One billion-just to spare my life.”
“A billion?” Matco let out a low, frigid laugh. “You think your life’s only worth that much?”
Ulrich’s thoughts spun fast and hard. Swallowing down every trace of rage and humiliation, he forced himself to
speak calmly.
“Mateo, whatever Aubrey’s offering you-I'll double it. No, triple it. | can help you launder the Zach family’s name
and bring them into power. Once | take over the Northern Continent, you and | can rule it together.”
Mateo stayed silent, as if considering the offer.
Ulrich kept pushing, his jaw locked tight. “Letgo, and everything in this cave is yours. I'll even throw in
whatever else you want. Think about it. Isn't that a better deal than killing me?”
“Well, I have to admit...” Mateo murmured. “That's quite the tempting offer.”
He shook his head slowly, a cold glint in his
eyes.
If today he had been working with Alpha Henry-or anyone else he might have taken the deal. But it was Aubrey.
And that changed everything.
“Too bad | can’t accept.”
Ulrich’s face darkened.
Mateo sighed quietly to himself, voice distant. “Did no one tell you what Aubrey means to me?”
Ulrich stiffly replied, “She saved your brother.”
Mateo nodded. “That she did. And my brother's fine now. Burning bridges is nothing new for me-that kind of
favor doesn’t count for much.”
“Then why?!” Ulrich’s veins popped at his temple. He couldn’t understand how Mateo could resist such a deal.
Why?
Suddenly, Aubrey’s cold yet breathtaking face flashed in Mateo’s mind. He’d dreamed of that
omega more times than he cared to admit...
“Because...” he started, voice low-
“Mateo, is it not done yet?”

Aubrey’s voice cut through the air before he could finish.
As she stepped into view, Ulrich’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
“Aubrey!”
