NovelEnglishChapter 146 The Edge Between Us
Henry’s POV
After our bitter parting yesterday, | thought Aubrey would never cback.
But just now, the butler toldshe had returned-and not to see me, but to speak with my father.
Why? What could she possibly have to talk about with him?
Finished
Confused and uneasy, | had the urge to storm out and find her. But | forced myself to stay put.
Given my condition, it was best to keep my distance from her.
“Alpha, Ms. Aubrey is on her way to your room now.”
The beta butler reached out through the mind link. I froze, then quickly responded,
“Send her away. Don’t let her cnear me!”
“I’m sorry, Alpha... it was your father who gave her permission.”
My father? Has he lost his mind? He knows full well that omega werewolves are completely
vulnerable to the virus I carry!
| was frantic. Callen, my wolf, stirred weakly in my consciousness and said, “That omega girl really has a death
wish. She must already know how contagious this virus is, and she still dares chere. Alright, | admit it-1 was
wrong about her before.”
“This is hardly the tfor that! We need to shift and get out of here-avoid seeing her at all costs!”
| tried to hand control of my body over to Callen, but he resisted.

Damn it. Damn this virus. Damn Ulrich!
Cursing under my breath, | dragged myself out of bed. | had to find another room-anywhere Aubrey wouldn't find
me.
But just as | reached the door, she opened it.
The moment | saw her, | instinctively held my breath.
If the old Aubrey had been a rose lined with thorns, the woman standing beforenow was a blade-sharp and
gleaming.
The swhite dress, but where it made Mariana look soft and delicate, it made Aubrey seem ice-cold and
untouchable. Even the curve of her smile radiated chill instead of warmth.
We stared at each other for a long time. Then she tilted her head slightly and asked, “Alpha, don’t you have
anything you want to say to me?“/
| pressed my lips together and said nothing.
She took a step forward.

Her smile didn’t fade. In a soft voice, she asked, “Who do you think is prettier-Mariana or me?”
| froze. Of course it’s you. But | couldn't say it. | shouldn't.
When | didn’t answer, she pressed on. “Are you and Mariana together now?”
My hand clenched into a fist at my side.
I didn’t want to answer, but | knew | had to drive her away-fast. So | forced my voice to go cold.
“Yes. We're together.”

Finished
Aubrey’s smile only grew gentler. She moved closer, expression unreadable. | backed away step by
step until | stumbled and fell onto the edge of the bed..
“Then tell me,” she said, placing a hand lightly on my shoulder and leaning in, “who do you enjoy
being with more-me, or her?”
She lowered her voice to a murmur.
“And | mean in bed...”
There was a provocative glint in her eyes, and the faint, cold fragrance on her skin made me
instinctively try to retreat. The room was dead quiet. | could hear my own heartbeat pounding
wildly in my ears.
She was like a siren-irresistible and hypnotic, her starlit eyes full of mystery.
Of course | couldn’t answer. I'd only ever been with Aubrey. How would | know what anyone else
was like? And | knew-nothing could ever compare to her. No one could.
But she didn’t seem to expect an answer. She kept closing in, and soon, we were past the point of
no return. Her voice dipped again, teasing and cold all at once.
“Alpha, your eyes tellyou think I'm more beautiful. And that | feel better, too. So tell me-why?
Why would someone who's had the best all his life suddenly pushaway for a defective
substitute?”
My heart was pounding so hard it hurt.
Her words, laced with seduction and challenge, could drive any man over the edge-make him
abandon logic completely.
