Chapter 279 A Friend
Third Person POV
+6 Pears
Aubrey’s face grew colder and colder. Her hand trembled around the phone, as if she might shatter
it against the floor at any moment.
No friends? No one to confide in?
Did they think she was so weak that she could only draw strength from provoking an enemy?
“Are you... insane?”
Her voice shook as she forced it out. “How could you have such a ridiculous thought?”
But Mariana had already convinced herself. She laughed until tears streamed down her face.
“Ridiculous? Oh, it is ridiculous. Ridiculous that you're so alone you have no one to hear your pain.
You cover it up by striking at others, by boasting, by playing these childish games. I almost pity
you. You're pathetic, Aubrey. Pitiful and weak!”
Aubrey slammed the call shut.

She shot to her feet, knocking her untouched breakfast to the floor. Food scattered everywhere, but she didn’t
spare it a glance.
She stormed to the balcony, desperate for air. But when she looked down at the dizzying drop from ten stories
high, an urge flickered through her mind-one jump, and it would all be over.
“Wait, Qing!”
Ella’s voice pulled her back, her hands gripping the railing so hard her knuckles turned white. The sudden
madness clawing at her chest slowly ebbed.
Pitiful? A failure?
She had billions in her account. She was a medical prodigy. She had awakened an alpha-level wolf and crushed
every enemy who had stood against her. She wasn’t even twenty years old. Others should envy her, fear her,
hate her. How could she ever be pitiful?
Her hands clenched on the railing as she stared at the miniature cars and people below, gasping for breath.
But no matter how she tried to convince herself, the storm inside didn’t quiet. The emotions only spiraled,
exploding outward.
She knew the Kajit virus suppressant was partly to blame. The side effects made her fragile, paranoid, unstable-
just like Alpha Henry that night.
And once those emotions were unleashed, controlling them was almost impossible. Reason crumbled under the
weight of raw feeling.
Her temples throbbed with stabbing pain, and in the haze she thought she saw shadows gathering, smothering
her, choking the air from her lungs.
The sound of a key in the lock startled her. Aubrey spun around to see Charles step inside.

He had left, but he hadn't gone far. Worry had gnawed at him the whole way, his secret feelings for Aubrey
refusing to let him rest. Halfway to his mission, he had turned back, making excuses to return.
“Aubrey?”
Sunlight fell across her face, but it couldn't melt the shadows clouding her eyes. Charles's gaze dropped briefly
to the breakfast scattered across the floor. He didn’t ask, didn’t press.
“You must be hungry,” he said gently. “Cinside. I'll make you something to eat.
His clean, boyish face carried a new steadiness, his eyes soft and unwavering.
“Chere, Aubrey.”
He reached out his hand toward her, the sun catching his palm, lighting his fingertips in gold.
Aubrey stared at it, stared at the glow trembling at his skin, and tears slipped unbidden from her
eyes.
Charles’s breath caught. He had never thought-never dared imagine-that Aubrey might cry.
“Would you... be my friend?”
Her reddened eyes lifted to him, her voice raw.
She hadn’t thought. She hadn’t considered that Charles, a son of the Lin family, could never truly be
her friend. Their paths would one day clash. She would never forgive her enemies.
But Charles could no longer hold back. Dropping to one knee, he pulled her into his arms, holding
her tightly against his chest.
“You once toldwe could never be friends,” he whispered against her ear, his voice thick with
emotion.
“But if you ever wantto be... | always will.”
