But Aubrey only pressed her lips together and said nothing.

She admitted to herself that she still felt her heart stir for Henry from tto time, but the same
obstacles between them remained. Unless Henry could treat her as his equal, her feelings alone
wouldn’t be enough to keep them together.
And now there was the contract. The sibling bond they had sworn under the Moon Goddess stood
between them like a chasm. Unless Henry dared to risk the Moon Goddess’s sacred grounds and
return alive, or they somehow obtained the rumored potion that could sever contracts, they could
never truly be together. Any wolf who violated the Goddess’s gift would face Her punishment-losing
their strength forever.

Henry is still our fate mate! That bond hasn’t weakened one bit!
Maybe the Moon Goddess is just... occupied. Sooner or later She’ll fix this, Aubrey answered in her

The headache from Ella’s tantrum pushed Aubrey to step outside for air. But as she wandered, she noticed
something unsettling-wolves of the FlPack were keeping their distance from her. When they spoke, their
heads dipped low, voices subdued, eyes carefully avoiding hers.
They were afraid of her. But why?

Meanwhile, Henry had just finished giving Adelyn a string of instructions regarding Shadowmoon Pack. At last he
paused, and she, her voice thick with emotion, said, “...Don’t worry about the pack. Your father can still hold it
together. What you need to worry about is yourself. | can see it— something’s wrong with your body.”
Henry froze, surprised she had noticed so soon.
From the start, he'd known what infection meant. At best, he had a month to live. The Lupine virus ravaged the
body relentlessly. Aubrey had managed to keep him alive, but the disease would not relent. Day by day, it would
worsen.
She had warned him herself: even with constant training, medicine, and treatment, his body would still decay.
Muscle wasting, collapsing immunity, the steady rot of a body eaten alive from within. One day, perhaps even a
raindrop on his skin would feel like a bullet wound-until finally he lost all sensation, a hollow shell of pain and
emptiness.
He had long been prepared for that fate.
Before Aubrey, he kept no mask—limping, slowing, showing strain. But before her eyes, he never faltered. Every
step that tore through his muscles, every stab of fire in his bones-he bore it without a flinch, walking as if
nothing were wrong.
That was why Adelyn had seen what Aubrey could not.
Henry's expression remained unreadable. “These changes are inevitable. They can’t be stopped. Not unless we
break the virus.”
He added quietly, “And Aubrey mustn’t know. No need to give her more pressure.”

Was it really pressure he wanted to spare her, or simply her worry?

Adelyn didn’t press him. She could see well enough—her son had already buried Aubrey into the
marrow of his bones.
And because of her, his life had stretched this far at all. All Adelyn could do now was pin her hopes
on the girl, pray Aubrey truly would succeed.
