NovelEnglishChapter 306 The Harshest Logic
Third Person POV
“No.” Aubrey’s reply in her mind was firm.
No one knew the agony of live experiments better than she did, and she would never let another
endure the storment. Besides, none of the other infected had her unique constitution. Most
wouldn’t survive even one trial.

She wasn’t a saint. She simply believed the Moon Goddess would never wish her to hand that
burden to someone else. And besides—those subtle differences in formula ratios could only be felt
by living through them firsthand. That was the fastest way forward.
“Don’t worry, Ella. | have a feeling we’re close to success.”
After a long moment, Aubrey leaned against the corridor wall, breathing in the cool air in an
attempt to clear her exhaustion and heavy thoughts.

Just then, the door to the neighboring lab opened.
John stepped out, his eyes ringed with heavy shadows, evidence of long nights without rest.
The first thing he saw was Aubrey leaning against the wall-her head tilted back slightly, the slender line of her
neck tracing a graceful curve. Her pale face held a trace of fragility, yet her eyes glimmered with defiance.
John couldn't deny it-at that moment, Aubrey’s beauty was arresting.
“Ms. Mary, you look exhausted. You need to take care of yourself. No experiment is worth working yourself to
death.”
His voice sounded concerned, but beneath it flickered a trace of disdain. To him, what could an omega contribute
to such high-level research? Most likely, she had done a little work and now carried on as though crushed by the
weight of it.
He had heard there was a werewolf who had volunteered for live experiments-that, to John, was a true hero. Too
bad that wolf's identity was top secret. Even as Alpha Henry's cousin, John didn’t have clearance to know yet.
But he had already decided-once the Kajit virus was cured, he would personally pay his respects to that fearless
wolf.
Aubrey glanced at him, her eyes cutting through the pretense in an instant. There was no warmth in his gaze,
only a hollow mask.
She didn’t bother with it. Instead, another thought crossed her mind.

In her memory, John-though a beta-had always idolized Alpha Henry. Over time, his way of speaking, even his
thinking, mirrored Henry's.
After a brief pause, she asked, “If you knew that forcing a certain werewolf to undergo live experiments could
save the entire wolf race of the North Continent, what would choose?”

John answered without hesitation. “Of course, sacrifice one to save everyone. What’s there to
hesitate about?”
Aubrey didn’t argue. She only looked at him steadily. “What if it were an alpha? If it were up to him
to decide, what do you think he would choose?”
“An alpha? He’d make the schoice as me.”
John’s expression radiated certainty. “True strength lies in absolute rationality, not in pointless pity.
Alpha understands that better than anyone.”
His eyes lit up as he went on. “Just yesterday, a gamma border patrol squad was ambushed and
trapped in an abandoned mine. Rogues pumped in smoke laced with wolfsbane to force them out.
Alpha led the reinforcements. He calculated the fastest way to blast open a ventilation shaft and
save most of them. But that plan required sacrificing the support beam where two wounded wolves-
already poisoned and doomed-were pinned.”
John’s voice brimmed with admiration. “He didn’t hesitate. He gave the order to blow it. Later he
told me—at moments like that, letting emotions interfere only drags everyone down. A leader bears
the responsibility of trading the smallest loss for the greatest survival. So, you askwhat he
would choose?”
He met Aubrey’s eyes, utterly sure. “He would choose to save the North Continent’s wolf race. That
is the only right answer.”
