Third Person POV
Because of Aubrey’s intervention, this time the Kajit virus was mostly contained within Flame Pack’s Sineville town. It hadn’t spread beyond its borders, nor had it caused large–scale deaths among the northern werewolves.
But with Ulrich’s death, Aubrey ultimately stepped onto the path of testing the medicine on herself.
“Cough! Cough, cough!”
Her body shook with violent coughs as Aubrey raised a trembling hand to stop alpha Henry from rushing to her side. The others looked on, worry etched into their expressions–but in their eyes there was also a faint glimmer of reverence.
“How is it? ”
Wolf doctor Ginnie was the first to step forward. Aside from alpha Henry and Aubrey, everyone else present wore protective suits, their voices muffled behind the gear.
“I’m fine…”
Her face, pale from the strain, was touched with a fleeting flush of color. Once she caught her breath, Aubrey described each symptom one word at a time. “The reaction is… intense. The pain is worse… and there’s also nausea. Dizziness…”
As she spoke, someone beside her recorded every detail. Aubrey was testing the drug’s properties on herself.
She hadn’t expected things to reach this point. Yet compared to her last life–when she had been reluctant, filled with fear of the unknown–this time she was far more composed. Everything was in her hands now. She no longer feared being used until death. She could even turn her suffering into the foundation of future glory.
In simple terms: terrifying as the Kajit virus was, it was now like a dangerous toy entirely under her control. She knew she would succeed, and with that certainty came a chilling calm.
But alpha Henry was far from calm.
“Does it have to be this way? Does it have to be her?!”
He was nearly shouting. Why was Aubrey allowed to be the subject while he was forbidden? Each time he watched her suffer, his mind teetered on the edge of frenzy. If he could, he would have taken her place in a heartbeat.

244 The That Subject
Xavier pulled him aside to prevent him from disrupting the process. Progress had been leaping forward daily–this momentum couldn’t be broken.
“Alpha, it’s not that we don’t want to it’s that we can’t. Ms. Aubrey’s body isn’t the same as an ordinary werewolf’s. To put it simply…”
Xavier lowered his voice. “Ms. Aubrey is a special infected host. She carries the virus without passing it to others. And her body’s vitality is ten times that of a normal werewolf. She won’t die from infection as easily as the others… but you’re different.”
Alpha Henry fell silent, the truth cutting deep.
He was different. He was only alive because Aubrey, his omega, gave him injections every three days to keep him from collapsing.
What right did he have to gamble with his already fragile body? One mistake, and he would only become another burden for her.
Once reality set in, alpha Henry was struck with a crushing sense of powerlessness.
The only thing left for him was to stay at Aubrey’s side while she tested the medicine- torturing himself as he watched her endure, drowning in pain yet unable to stop.
No matter how much time passed, he never grew used to it.
After a month, alpha Henry looked worse than Aubrey herself. He had lost twenty pounds, and his eyes were constantly bloodshot from sleepless nights.
Often, in the middle of the night, Aubrey would feel him jolt awake, unable to fall back asleep until dawn.
This couldn’t go on.
His body wouldn’t last much longer.
So Aubrey decided to halt the trials for one day. She needed to talk to alpha Henry.
