Chapter 295 The Weight He Bears
Third Person POV
Looking at Aubrey, Henry’s chest tightened with a sharp, suffocating ache.
Today she had only moved out of his room, putting distance between them. But what about
tomorrow? The day after? Would she push further and further away until they were strangers, never
to cross paths again?
The thought of Aubrey taking back everything she had once given him made it hard to breathe.
And still, she refused to tell him what had really happened-why she knew that newly built research
institute so well, and why she hated it so deeply.
He had already sent Beta Cam to investigate Aubrey’s past, but in his gut he knew Cam wouldn't
find the answers he needed.
Was he supposed to accept this ending? To stand by and watch her turn to men like Charles, like
Mateo?
No.

Henry's lips pressed into a hard line. Even if Aubrey never revealed the truth, even if a wall now
stood between them-so what? He loved her. Henry’s love was love, and he had given his heart fully.
He would never allow it to end in failure.
Every obstacle between them-he would tear down with his own hands.
With that conviction, Henry shifted into his wolf form and curled up on the floor beside her bed. His silver tail
swayed lightly as he lay there, watching her sleeping face for a long tbefore finally yawning and closing his
eyes.
By the tAubrey woke the next morning, Henry was gone.
She had slept deeply, too exhausted to notice anything unusual.
At breakfast, Henry was nowhere to be seen either. Aubrey didn’t ask, but Adelyn brought him up with a tone of
reproach..
“Aubrey, you probably don’t know yet. Yesterday Henry destroyed part of the ancestral estate by accident. And
now he’s saying he wants to sell it. The rest of the Miguel family cthis morning-they’re upstairs on the
second floor, discussing it right now.”
Aubrey froze. Henry had taken the entire blon himself? And now he even planned to sell it?
Although he had the absolute right to handle family property as Alpha, selling ancestral land would spark
rumors. Outsiders might think the Miguel family was facing financial trouble. Naturally, the elders would demand
an explanation.
And yet... he hadn't mentioned her at all.
“He’s protecting you,” Ella murmured in her mind, her tone tinged with feeling.
Aubrey pressed her lips together. Or maybe he just doesn’t want to be laughed at.
“Wolves worship strength. If people learned that the Alpha of the Shadowmoon Pack blew up his own estate for
the sake of a little omega female, he’d be branded a fool. His authority would crumble.”

“Do you really believe that?” Ella shot back without mercy.

Aubrey’s grip on her fork and knife tightened before she lowered her head, refusing to answer
further. She finished her meal in silence.
Afterward, she headed straight for the lab.
Thankfully, the wolf doctors working there had been with her throughout the Kajit virus research.
Even without her constant presence, they were steadily adjusting the formulas for the second
phase of the experimental suppressant.
She went through their recorded data carefully, crossing out flawed combinations and adding her
own notes before instructing them to continue.
There were no shortcuts in this process. Only countless trials would lead them to the right formula.
When she stepped out of the lab, she was suddenly stopped by a striking young beta. His golden
hair caught the light, his handsface bright with a sunny smile. In his hands was a large
bouquet of red roses. “Aubrey-Ms. Mary?” he greeted warmly, his eyes crinkling with charm. “Nice
to meet you. I'm John, the new béta wolf doctor.”
