Aubrey’s POV
“Aubrey?”
Finished
Henry’s deep Alpha voice cut into my mind just as | scraped a fourth bloody line across my
collarbone with my fingernails. That single, questioning word-low, masculine, filled with concern-
was like a bucket of ice. water dousing my brain.
What was I doing?
I had initiated a mind link with Alpha Henry. | had been about to ask for his help.
No. Absolutely not.
“That’s enough!” Ella’s voice snapped inside me, pacing furiously. “He’s our mate! So what if
something happens-he’s meant to be with us!”
No... | pushed back. It wasn’t like that. Alpha Henry... he wasn’t just any man. | had once loved him
so completely, so devastatingly, that just thinking about turning to him again felt like playing with
fire. One spark... and I might burn all over again.
That fear-that truth-was more terrifying than the heat of my own body.
I severed the mind link immediately.
This drug-if I could just hold on a little longer, I'd get through it. Just a little longer!
1 bit down hard on my lip and pinched my thigh until the pain jolted me, then forced myself forward,
stumbling toward the woods.
Henry’s POV
What the hell is she doing?
| was just about to evaluate the Beta warriors’ training when Aubrey’s mind link suddenly cthrough. Her
voice, soft and uncertain, filled my head.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was contacting me. Voluntarily.
After the way she coldly shutdown last time, she hadn't returned a single call. Not even a glance. But now
she was reaching out?
Something wasn’t right.
But before | could ask anything, she cut the link-just like that. A few seconds of silence... then nothing.
Damn it.
Logic toldto stay put. | had hundreds of warriors waiting, an inspection to lead, and no reason to chase after
an Omega who clearly didn’t want me.
But my gut said otherwise. | couldn't stop thinking about her. And when | tried to reestablish the mind link and
failed-

| knew something was wrong.
The thought of someone-anyone-hurting her made my vision go red.

| stood up at once and barked to the Beta next to me, “Training's over. Dismiss everyone. We continue
tomorrow.”
He blinked. “Alpha, but-these warriors have been preparing for this evaluation for weeks-"
“1 said, dismiss!”
Without waiting for a reply, | shifted into wolf form and shot off across the pack grounds. | barely registered the
stunned stares behind me.
Aubrey had a few places she frequented. | checked her apartment first-nothing. Then headed for the outskirts
near the Mary estate.
And finally-I caught her scent.
She was walking alone down a remote path, no injuries, but... she didn’t look right.
Relief slammed intolike a wave. She was okay. | could breathe again.
What the hell was | doing? I'd told myself | was done with her, that | didn’t care anymore. And yet here | was -
acting like a fool, chasing her through the pack like slovesick pup.
| gritted my teeth and was just about to turn away when-
Aubrey suddenly stumbled.
“Aubrey!”
| bolted forward and caught her as she collapsed, shifting back to human form mid-motion. Her skin burned like
fire. Her cheeks were flushed red, her breath ragged, as if she were battling something deep and merciless.
“What's wrong? Are you burning up?” | frowned. Werewolves rarely got sick, but she was an Omega
with no wolf. Her body was weaker-fragile.
“Alpha... Henry?”
She looked up atwith dazed, shimmering eyes-glassy and wet like stars drowning in water. Her
voice. was soft, hoarse, and it knocked the air right out of my lungs.
Before | could respond, she threw herself forward-
And kissed me.
Hard.
Her lips clung to mine with desperate force, scorching and sweet. Her fingers, blistering with heat,
trailed up from my jaw to my eyes, like she was trying to claim every inch of me.
When the kiss finally broke, she gasped for air, glaring at me, her lips flushed bright red. Her eyes
gleamed with a stubborn fire.

“Alpha Henry... why don’t you like me? Is it because of Mariana? Even if it is, give it up!” she
snapped, breathless. “I’m not calling off the engagement. And don’t think you can pushaway-
I'll ding to you no matter what, until you fall fortoo!”
Damn it.
Something about the way she said it-so fierce, so raw-hitlike a hammer to the chest.
And for a heartbeat, | forgot how to breathe.
