Reborn Omega. Avenge Herself Like an Alpha
8 When You’re Dead
Aubrey’s POV
+ Pearle
His tall frame loomed over me; the fierce rage in his deep eyes churned violently. The Alpha–level pressure made it almost impossible to breathe.
Whenever he was this angry, even his father wouldn’t confront him; I certainly hadn’t dared to in the past. But now–I was no longer afraid.
“According to ancient werewolf law, only the first union that takes place after awakening the wolf at eighteen can ensure the pure inheritance of my ancient werewolf bloodline.”
I lifted my chin, allowing him to grip my jaw; my fingertips trembled lightly against his palm. “But five months ago, you lost control and mated with me early. To cover it up, you had someone perform hymen repair surgery on me; to this day, the Elders still believe we are an untouched, pure engaged couple. Only you and I know the truth. Tonight, they tried to force me; these marks are from my struggles to resist. Nothing else happened to me. If you don’t believe me, you can inspect me yourself.”
Henry looked as though he had just heard a joke; his anger flared even hotter.
“You really will do anything to get me to mate with you; so this is the trick you’re trying now? Keep dreaming!”
With that, he released me and strode toward the door. I spoke coldly to his back.
“Haven’t you always wanted to call off this engagement? Prove my innocence; I’ll withdraw from the engagement tomorrow.”
Henry paused; then he let out a disdainful laugh.
“All I have to do is walk downstairs and say your body is covered in marks. You’ll be ruined; an Omega who betrayed her Alpha. My warriors, who worship me–will tear you apart in their fury. When you’re dead, this damned engagement will be meaningless.”
I frowned instinctively.
“And then everyone will know I cuckolded you–not once, but twice; quite the sight, don’t you think?”
My words made Henry whirl around; the murderous look in his eyes was enough to swallow me whole.
Of course I knew this wouldn’t truly threaten him; after all, I hadn’t married him yet. I wasn’t his Luna.
So the moment I finished speaking, I deliberately softened my stance. I lowered my gaze; my straight posture sagged slightly on purpose.
I knew I must have looked pitiful; fragile.-
In a low voice, I said, “Mr. Miguel, for the sake of the childhood we shared; for the sake of me willingly giving up this engagement; help me just this once. You won’t have to lie–because I am innocent. If you don’t believe me, you can inspect me; if you choose not to, that means you believe me. Or do you really want a woman who once loved you to be slandered and driven to death?”
I was betting that Alpha Henry had a shred of decency left for me; and I looked pitiful enough now.
If I could just get through tonight and protect my reputation, a new future awaited me. For that, I was S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access s of novels early and in the highest quality.

willing to lower my head.
For a long time, I heard nothing but Henry’s furious, restless breathing.
“ Get downstairs!”
With that, Henry stormed off.
Bailey’s POV

I wasn’t sure why Aubrey wanted Alpha to conduct the inspection himself; but just imagining him seeing her bruised, battered body–and growing even more disgusted with her–filled me with glee.
Maybe she was hoping to beg Alpha for help? How foolish; Alpha would never help her.
Just then, I noticed Alpha’s mother sending a message. I quietly leaned over and caught a glimpse; it seemed she was asking her son to cover for Aubrey.
I couldn’t help but smile silently. It would be useless!
Someone like Alpha Henry–born at the very top–would never lie for someone he despised.
My mother leaned over, worried.
“Are you certain?”
I reassured her.
“Of course. Before Robert was captured, he told me through the mind–link; although they didn’t succeed in raping her, they left plenty of marks on her. She’s already soiled; Alpha won’t help her.”
“And once she loses her value as Alpha’s fiancée, we’ll be able to torment her however we please; her treasures will be ours. ”
“That’s good.” My mother smiled in relief.
At that moment, Alpha Henry came down the stairs. I immediately looked up; as expected, his face was dark.
“Well?” Madam Adelyn asked anxiously.
Alpha Henry showed a trace of impatience; standing on the staircase, he opened his mouth slowly.
“She…”
I could barely contain my joy. Aubrey… you’re finished!
