Henry's POV
“What is she doing here again?”
When the servant informedthat Aubrey had returned, | frowned without thinking.

“So annoying. She's definitely here to beg you to marry her quickly, to protect her!” My wolf, Callen, growled
irritably in my mind. “Pathetic little Omega!” Callen had always hated this engagement. He just wanted us to find
our true fated mate.
“Maybe she’s here to break off the engagement,” | joked.
Aubrey had said last night that she would end the engagement herself, but | hadn't taken it seriously at all. If she
were really that obedient, I'd thank the heavens.
But then the servant hesitated and mumbled, “Alpha, she’s... actually here to call off the engagement...”
She really cto end it?
| looked up in surprise and set the papers in my hand aside. Suddenly, the image of her from last night came
back to me-how she'd beggedto test her.
Honestly, there was no need for a test. Just from how calm she’d looked, | already knew those two damn
werewolves hadn't touched her-if they had, she'd have broken down crying. | knew exactly how obsessed she
was with me.
Those bastards-how dare they lay a finger on my fiancée!
But more than that, what pissedoff was how indifferent Aubrey had been about what happened to her.
She really didn’t care about herself at all? Did she really think I'd go around telling people she got assaulted? Did
| look like the kind of guy who'd humiliate a woman like that?

The way she acted, like she was dying to draw a line between us, even threateningwith a breakup-I swore
I'd make her yield!
But the strange thing was... the moment she actually gave in, | felt even more annoyed.
Especially when she stood there, covered in wounds, her heavy bangs hiding her expression. She looked so
fragile and helpless...
What the hell is wrong with me? Did | just... feel sorry for her?
By the t| cback to my senses, | realized | was already standing at the stairway landing.
From here, | had a perfect view of her sitting across from my mother on the living room couch.
They must've just finished talking. The two of them were silent. She just sat there quietly, and yet somehow she
had this ethereal grace to her. Even with her eyes half-hidden under those bangs, she gave off a kind of peaceful
clarity, like someone who had seen through everything.
“That's weird. She feels different.” Even Callen stirred in my mind, grumbling uneasily. “I'm not sure why.... but |
kind of want to get closer to her.”

She used to be so timid. Even though she was my fiancée, she was afraid of everything, never dared to look me
in the eye. Sometimes, I'd even hear the servants mocking her for being an Omega-and she wouldn't say a word
in response. That weak little thing always annoyed me.
But today... she looked like a pearl that had finally been dusted off. Just sitting there made it hard to look away.
Every item in this house would be considered priceless to normal people, but right now, with Aubrey sitting
among them, it felt like all the luxury faded into the background.
What the hell is wrong with me? That thought startled me. | scoffed at myself. Well, since she was being so
sensible and finally asking to break off the engagement, what else was there to say?
There was a weird tightness in my chest, but | instinctively shoved it away and turned to head back upstairs.
Even Callen had calmed down, purring happily. “Thank the Lunar Oath. We're finally getting rid of that useless
Omega. Now let's hurry up and find our real fated mate.”
Aubrey’s POV
“If you're sure... then | guess that’s that.” At last, Adelyn sighed.
| let out a breath of relief and took off the engagement ring, placing it gently on the table.
That ring represented the status of the Shadowmoon Pack’s Luna. Anyone who wore it had twenty percent
control over all Shadowmoon Pack assets. Countless werewolf women had fought tooth and nail for it. And now, |
was giving it back on my own-and | felt lighter than ever.
“Thank you, Madam.”
Adelyn looked atwith reluctance in her eyes. “Even if the engagement’s over... you still have to cvisit
Suddenly, her eyes lit up!
“How about | adopt you as my daughter?”
At first, | wanted to turn her down. But then | thought about my current situation-the “wolf suppressant” in my
body still hadn't completely worn off. | didn’t even know when I'd be able to awaken my real wolf.
Just like today, | had tried to call my wolf... but there was no response. | could feel something starting to shift
inside me, but for now, I was still just an Omega with no wolf.
So | smiled gently and said, “That's not a small decision. Why don’t you and Mr. Kendrick talk it over first before
deciding?”
| stuck out my tongue playfully. “If | really becyour daughter, I'm afraid | might bring shto the Miguel
family.”
Adelyn quickly reassured me. “How could that be! You're someone I've already acknowledged as my own. You
could never bring shto us!”
| smiled. There were still many things | needed to take care of, so | got up to leave-but Adelyn couldn't bear it.
She insisted | stay for lunch no matter what.

| figured Alpha Henry hated sitting withanyway. He definitely wouldn't cdown for lunch. So | agreed.
We chatted a little longer. Adelyn gavea lot of reminders and advice, and then she tookto the dining
room.
There was no question that the Miguel family had money. From the five-thousand-square-foot estate down to
the wine glasses and silverware, everything screamed wealth and heritage.
That's why so many people believed | was only clinging to the engagement for fortune and status. Even though
Alpha Henry clearly didn’t like me, they thought | refused to let go because | was greedy.
Maybe only a few people ever knew the truth-I genuinely liked Alpha Henry as a person.
Even when | felt small, even when other beta-class female werewolves targeted and bullied me... what could |
do? | really, really liked him. Maybe liking him had used up all the courage and strength | had in my entire pitiful
life.
But feelings like that... you really can’t force them.
The dishes were only half served when Adelyn called a servant over.
“Go get the Alpha for lunch.”
