Reborn Omega: Avenge Herself Like an Alpha
Chapter 38 A Dangerous Trade
Aubrey’s POV
Ocean Island lay quiet under the moonlight. Only the soft lapping of waves against the shore broke
the silence. | pulled the unfamiliar coat tighter around my shoulders-the one that didn’t belong to
Alpha Henry.
“Do you remember her signature choreography, Roses?” | asked slowly.
The northern wolf tribes had declared it a war epic. In my last life, by pure chance, | found out the
truth. Mariana had stolen the entire concept.
“The inspiration for Roses cfrom the ‘Blood Moon Battle‘ between Shadowmoon Pack and the
Frost Pack a hundred years ago. It’s composed of three chapters and thirteen segments. Formation,
Call to Arms, Commander’s Orders, Battle Lines, Movement, Ambush, Skirmish at Devil's Tower,
Battle of the Rockies, Defeat of Frost Alpha, Suicide of the Fallen, Victory Parade, Generals‘ Boast,
and Triumphant Return.”
When Mariana released it, the dance swept through the warrior ranks like wildfire. Even royal family
members personally praised her, inviting her to choreograph for the court.
“But the battle details,” | turned to look him in the eye, “there’s no way someone like her-who’s
never seen a battlefield-could’ve imagined those scenes.”
“The real choreographer was a she-wolf named Daria. Mariana poisoned her voice and locked her in
the shadows-literally.”

I studied Henry’s face. His expression was dark, unreadable.
“This is easy to verify,” | added. “Daria is still by her side. If you really want to know who Mariana
Ru is-go investigate. You'll find your answer.”
“And once you do,” | continued, “1 want you to bring Daria to me.”
I had other plans for Daria.
Henry looked thoughtful for a moment.
“What's wrong?” | asked coolly, unable to help the bite in my voice, “Can’t bear to? Oh, maybe I'm just lying,
right? Your beloved Mariana Ru never stole anything, never poisoned anyone. She’s pure-like fresh snow under
the moonlight-*
“Aubrey!” he snapped, cuttingoff. “You can drop the provocation. That doesn’t work on me.”
He glared at me. “What I'm really curious about is-why are you only using these cards now? Even yesterday,
when you claimed to overhear those two
werewolves confessing to murder... please, you expect
His eyes sharpened like scalpels. “What else are you hiding?”
Henry’s POV
I didn’t know why. | wasn’t even sure if Mariana really did those things. But somehow, | didn’t want to hear
Aubrey talk about her. In the past, I'd treated Mariana well-only out of gratitude for saving my life, That
was it.

| lifted my chin, waiting for Aubrey’s answer. But she turned her head and said, “Go Investigate Why askso
many questions?”
Her voice held nothing-no anger, no sorrow. But then a flicker of sadness drifted across her eyes
On the way
blank. Breath, Ocean Island, I'd noticed the sthing. She sat there in the passenger seat, eyes closed face.
blank. Breathing, alive... but she looked dead.
| almost laughed at myself for the thought. The dead don’t cback. What nonsense.
I didn’t push further. “Fine. I'll check into it. But carlier, | said you could na request. You haven't answered.”
The moment | finished, Aubrey let out a soft laugh.
It was a strange laugh-tinged with sorrow, heavy with silence. The kind of sound that stuck in your ribs.
“Alpha, | want to be your Luna...”
What?!
She still wanted to be my Luna?
What shockedmore was that my first reaction wasn’t rejection.
Then she looked up at me, smiling faintly. “What’s wrong? Were you hoping I'd say that? Suddenly
my conditions matter now? What’s the matter, Alpha? The moment | stop chasing you, you start to
care?”
She made it sound so casual, | had to act indifferent just to match her tone. “So what if | am? Your
current personality is a lot more interesting than before.”
“Then be careful.”
She lowered her gaze, her face sinking into shadow. “Curiosity toward a woman can be dangerous.
And I can tell you this, Alpha-if you fall for me, it won’t be a pleasant experience.”
So now she’s saying, if | fall for her, she’s the one who’s not interested?
I was annoyed. “Don’t worry. I didn’t fall for you in ten years-I’'m not about to start now.”
“You're right...” Aubrey nodded slowly, voice thick and raspy. “Not ten years... even if | gave you
ten more, you’d never love me. That was just a joke. Don’t worry. | know my place.”
Something in her words stung.
It felt like she’d waited for my love-for twenty years, not ten.
The feeling ctoo fast, too raw. And it made no sense. She was only eighteen. Where did she get
two decades from?
Then she spoke again.
“Alpha, forget compensation. But | do think... we could make a deal.”
I shook off my thoughts and focused. “What kind of deal?”
