The beta warriors at the doors stiffened, eyes fixed on the scene, ready to spring at a single order from Alpha Loch. If he commanded, they would throw their lives away to take Henry down.
“Easy now… no need for such tension,” Loch tried to mediate, but no one paid him the slightest mind.
Nathan and Henry stood locked in a silent duel of dominance, neither retreating. Only Aubrey knew the truth–Henry was forcing it. His body couldn’t hold out long. But to pull back first would be to show weakness, and that they could not allow.
At last, Nathan was the first to withdraw, his pressure ebbing as he spoke with measured calm. “His alpha strength is intact. That suggests no infection. Disperse.”
Henry followed, reining his aura back in. Their eyes met briefly before Nathan turned to leave.
But Ulrich blocked his path.
“Mr. Nathan, wait!”
He caught Nathan’s wrist, only to flinch under the man’s frigid gaze and release it quickly. “There’s something you don’t know. That omega with Henry–she’s no ordinary wolf. She’s a gifted healer. She was the one who led the cure for Stella Pack’s T–flu virus.”
For the first time, Nathan’s eyes shifted to Aubrey, weighing her.

Ulrich pressed on, voice ringing with calculated fervor. “Henry once hated her, but now he treasures her. Why? Clearly, because she offers value. Not just ordinary value–something extraordinary. Look at her actions: taking the Miguel family’s name, plunging into Sineville to study the virus. Doesn’t it all point to the same thing? Ms. Aubrey is determined to break this plague.”
He paused, then fixed Aubrey with a blazing stare. “So what if she already has? What if she’s found a way to mask the symptoms–make a fever vanish, make an infected wolf look healthy?”
His insinuation landed like a blade. He was declaring that Aubrey was the key, that she had kept Henry alive despite infection, hiding the truth from them all.
Murmurs swept the hall. Several of the beta warriors shrank back a step, fear lighting their faces. If Ulrich’s guess was true, then Henry stood before them as a carrier of death. Any of them could be infected already.
And indeed, wasn’t it strange? Henry’s sudden acceptance of Aubrey, her abrupt dive into viral research, their closeness. Everything pointed to collusion.
Yet under the weight of so many eyes, Henry and Aubrey showed no flicker of unease.
“Mr. Nathan,” Loch added smoothly, “why not have Henry tested? That way we can all rest easy.”
“Yes,” Ulrich seized the moment, his voice rising in triumph. “If he has nothing to hide, then a test is nothing to fear!”
Nathan’s brow furrowed. The silence stretched. Then, at last, his verdict fell. “Test him.”

Far from Cedarl, at the border between north and south, Perry was half- carrying a woman swathed in black veils.
They crossed into a southern forest, and she touched his shoulder lightly. “We can rest here a while.”
He studied the still woods, then nodded. “All right.”
They sat beneath the trees. Perry kept his back straight, eyes scanning the shadows.
“Sleep if you like,” he told her. “I’ll keep watch.”
She wasted no words, closing her eyes at once. Two hours passed before she stirred again. Perry was still there, weary but vigilant, unblinking in his guard.
Her lips pressed together. Silently, she withdrew the vial of poison she had been hiding in her palm these past days. She had meant to use it, but now she slipped it away instead.
“I’m thirsty,” she said at last. “Could you fetch me some water?”
“Of course.” Perry rose without hesitation, taking his flask and reminding her not to leave the spot.
But when he returned, she was gone. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access s of novels early and in the highest quality.
Only the imprint where she had sat remained—and there, upon the grass, a small porcelain vial. Beneath it, a folded slip of paper.
On it were written the words:
“Thank you for saving me. Inside is a potion that can sever any contract made with the Moon Goddess. Take it as my gift to you.”
