NovelEnglishChapter 131 The Fire Within
Aubrey’s POV
Stay alive!
The thought crashed through my chest like a primal wolf’s howl.
1 can’t die here!
Finished
Bailey and Aurelia’s debts haven’t been settled, the K-virus sweeping across the continent is still
unresolved, and these forests-brimming with life-are counting on me. The werewolves of Mount
Fujin, who survived the T-flu catastrophe and are now struggling to rebuild, they shouldn’t be
buried with Ulrich’s madness!
Driven by that belief, | sprang from my hiding spot in the thick underbrush, a shadow merging with
the night. I silently crept up behind the nearest werewolf, jammed a golden needle into his acupoint
to paralyze him, then snapped his neck in one clean twist.
Even though I controlled the movement as much as | could, the dull crack of his spine rang out
sharplyin the silent forest. To a vigilant werewolf, any shift was a red flag.
Another werewolf immediately looked over, alert. | recognized his sleazy face. When Ulrich captured
me, it was this guy who stood guard-and took the chance to grope me.
“Dave?”
He called out to the dead one, but got no response. His expression tightened. Holding his torch, he slowly crept
toward where | was hiding.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDamn it! | crouched lower, holding my breath. Ella’s presence might be unstable, but the Alpha bloodline
strength she gavestill lingered. If he just ca little closer, if | struck first, | could take him down. He was
just a Beta.
He inched closer... and stopped three steps away.
The moment he turned his head, | lunged. My needle stabbed deep into his skin, paralyzing him in an instant.
But his mouth still worked.
“That b*tch is here! Get-"
The scream was cut short. I broke his neck.
At the stime, | stomped out the fallen torch, then dove back into the underbrush.
Just as expected, the remaining two werewolves rushed over-but they no longer held torches. My heart dropped.
| turned to look-dried grass nearby had caught fire. The small flwas quickly growing.
| realized then-I had to take out the last two werewolves, who were standing back to back on high alert, then put
out the fire. If not, this entire forest would go up in flames.
But without Ella’s wolf-form strength and speed, facing off against two coordinated Beta fighters would be
suicide.
What should I do?!
Panic gripped me. | had no solution.

Just then, in the corner of my eye, | caught a flash of frightened eyes peeking out from the grass. Under the
moonlight, they shimmered faintly. An omega? Only an omega’s aura would be that faint-too weak for higher-
level werewolves to detect easily.
My pulse jumped. | glanced at the two werewolves combing the area, then crawled over to the girl, who looked
around eighteen or nineteen.
“You live here, right?” | whispered. “Listen, | need your help. Just distract one of them. Just one!
Once | take him down, I'll help you. | swear!”
The omega girl’s eyes widened in fear. She shook her head hard, retreating as if on instinct. That's
when | noticed-behind her were over a dozen other omega werewolves, all cowering on the ground,
pale as ghosts.
“They’re going to burn this place,” | said urgently, voice low. “Burn your home. We have to stop
them
“No, we can’t,” someone answered shakily. “All the beta warriors in the village were sent away.
Only us omegas are left...”
“There’s only two of them!” I glanced around quickly. “We’ve got eighteen people-eighteen! How
can we not win?!”
“But they’re Betas! We were born... born weaker. Our claws aren’t sharp enough, our strength isn’t
enough, we're not fast enough... They'll tear us apart like prey!”
Their eyes brimmed with helplessness, weighted down by a deep-rooted sense of inferiority.
I nearly lost control of my voice. “But this is your home! Are you just going to watch your houses,
your food, your children’s playground-all of it-go up in flames?!”
“What can we do? Fighting back is suicide... We can’t protect this forest... We’re all going to die...”
The terror and despair carved into their bones by the harsh reality of power disparity kept them
frozen, like iron chains anchoring them in place.
Far off in the distance, the flames crackled and leapt, lighting their pale, desperate faces in
flickering red.
