Aubrey’s smile froze, and for a moment all she could hear was the sudden quickening of her own
heartbeat. As a sharp-sensed alpha werewolf, she could read the slightest emotional tremors in the
air. Yet Leon’s words carried such simple, untainted feeling that they caught her completely off
guard.
His clear voice rang out again, steady this time.
“] feel like you prefer a life that’s simple and free. 1 don’t have much to offer... except that I like
you. And that feeling is simple.”
Aubrey looked up and met his eyes. His youthful smile was tinted with shyness, and in the fading
sunset he seemed to glow with a gentle warmth. She could even smell the clean, sun- washed scent
of grass on him, something that, to a wolf like her, carried a strangely soothing pull.
She parted her lips to speak, but before she could, Leon pressed a finger lightly against them. His
laugh was soft, almost playful.
“You don’t have to answer right away. And you don’t need to feel burdened. | just hope that my
liking you can be as simple as sunlight chasing the breeze, or a sail yearning for the sea. If you

On the drive back, Aubrey’s lips curved faintly. Leon’s words had lightened her heart. His feelings
carried none of the calculation or pressure that filled so much of wolf society-only something pure,
free of weight, that made her feel unexpectedly at ease.
But that feeling evaporated the moment she stepped into her home.
Aurelia was bringing dishes out of the kitchen, smiling sweetly at Jax, every inch the image of a dutiful mistress
of the house. Aubrey’s mood soured at once.
“Ms. Aubrey is back?” Aurelia’s voice was carefully restrained. The last time-when Aubrey had forced her to
scrub the carpet with poisoned water-the ruthless image had burned itself into her mind. She had decided then
that she would avoid open clashes and simply wait until Aubrey returned to the Miguel family. Jax was far easier
to manipulate.
Aubrey’s lips curved in a cold sneer. “Smells good. | didn’t think you actually knew how to cook.”
Back when Aurelia lived here, she had hardly touched a kitchen. On the rare occasions she

claimed to cook, all she did was ladle the food out of the pot and serve it at the table, then call it her own work,
Jax, ever the fool, had always believed her, his simple heart coaxed into
contentment.
Now, faced with Aubrey’s unmasked scorn, Aurelia forced a strained smile. “It’s nothing-just a simple meal.”
“Heh.”
Aubrey’s short laugh was edged like a blade. She strode forward with long, commanding steps. Even though she
was an omega, her aura filled the space.
Jax himself grew uneasy. He still shrank under her presence.
“Aubrey, you haven't eaten yet, have you?” Jax tried to soften the mood with a smile.
Aubrey nodded. “That's right. Perfect timing. I’ve never actually tasted Mrs. Lynn's cooking before.”
Aurelia hurried to carve her a slice of lamb, her hands tense. “Please, try it...”
As she slid into a seat, Aubrey arched a brow. “Since when do servants sit at the table with their masters?”
“Aubrey...” Jax sighed, holding his bowl. “She's still-
The sharp clack of Aubrey’s knife and fork hitting the table cut him off. Her voice turned cold, each
word like a shard of ice.
“] asked you-when do servants get to eat with their masters?”
Jax’s expression stiffened, his face caught in a troubled knot as he glanced toward Aurelia.
This time, Aurelia played meek to the core, swallowing down her hatred. “It’s fine... you two eat. I'll
just boil snoodles in the kitchen.”
Her pitiful words pricked at Jax’s conscience, but Aubrey’s lips only curved in a cruel smile.
“Noodles? Why go to the trouble? There’s plenty here already. You can just wait and eat the
leftovers.”
