Chapter 137 What | Heard Behind the Door
Aubrey’s POV
+8 Pearls
After my father and the others left, | slipped out of the hospital the moment the nurse turned her
back.
I'd found out Alpha Henry was currently recovering at the old Miguel family estate. Word was, his
injuries weren’t serious, so he was resting at home.
Rain had begun to fall-light but cold. The overcast sky and early autumn chill seeped into my bones.
On my way, | stopped by my apartment to change clothes. | opened a small box and took out the
wolf fang ring he’d once given me. If he really had chosen Mariana again, I'd return it to him. But if
everything was a misunderstanding... then I'd let him know: | was keeping it.
After everything that happened in Stella Pack, | decided to give Alpha Henry one more chance.
He’d better not letdown.
But when | arrived at the Miguel estate, | immediately noticed something strange. A place that used
to be full of activity was now eerily silent.
The werewolf guards at the entrance tried to stop me-until I held up my ring.
“No need to announce me. I'll go in myself.”
As soon as they saw the Luna ring, they letpass. No one questionedas | made my way
straight to Henry’s room.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStill, along the way, | couldn't help noticing-there were far fewer servants than usual. The ones that remained
were older gamma-ranked werewolves, careful and quiet. | didn’t see a single omega servant.
What happened here? Something felt off.
Was Alpha Henry... okay?
With a head full of questions, | lifted my hand to knock-but then | heard a woman's voice from inside.
“Alpha, you're so good to me! | love the seventh movement of Balmo Fei! | thought it was lost forever-how did
you even find it?”
My hand froze in midair. My fingers curled into a fist.
Mariana.
It was her voice,
Then | heard Henry respond: “If it's something you love, I'll always find it for you.”
“Alpha! You're too good to me!”
Her voice practically sang with joy. | didn’t need to look-could already picture her, smiling shyly, eyes sparkling,
playing the perfect sweetheart.
| clenched my fists. A slow firé rose in my chest.

Chapter 137 What | Heard Behind the Dobr
Then Henry spoke again. “Mariana, | heard... you really like me?”
“Alpha... I...”

“Alpha, what if | do? You're Aubrey’s fiancé. Aubrey is my good friend. I... | wouldn't interfere. | wish you two
happiness.”
Her words were soft, hesitant, laced with restraint. She couldn't have performed that act more perfectly- the
kind, selfless friend hiding her feelings out of loyalty.
It made my stomach turn.
In my past life, she fooledjust like this. Again and again. | trusted her, and she stabbedin
the back every time.
So what now? What did she do to win Henry over this time?
Then I heard him again-
“Love is selfish. If you love me, you should fight for it. If you're willing to give up your friendship
with Aubrey, then the title of Shadowmoon Pack Luna...”
I looked down at the wolf fang ring in my hand. My lips curled into a bitter smile.
Alpha Henry. So this is what you meant when you said you loved me? That life-and-death rescue in
Stella Pack... was that just a performance? And now, you’re ready to promise Luna’s title to another
she-wolf?
1 didn’t need to hear more.
I kicked the door open.
Yeah, | guess | really have a temper now. And a habit of kicking doors.
My rain-soaked hair clung to my face and neck. | was pale, my clothes thin-but my eyes were sharp
as blades.
“Alpha Henry,” | said coldly, voice like steel. “What was it you just said? I didn’t quite catch it. Mind
repeating it for me?”
