Reborn Omega Avenge Herself Like an Alphe
86 The Wolf in the Garden
Aubrey’s POV
Alpha Mateo clearly hesitated, but alpha Henry just tilted his chin with that usual arrogance. “Let’s go . Leave this to Aubrey.”
His tone allowed no argument, as if he was the ultimate authority no matter where he stood. More importantly–by escorting me here in person, he was making one thing very clear to Mateo:
I wasn’t just any Omega to be pushed around. I was under alpha Henry’s protection.
In the end, Mateo nodded. He didn’t look reassured, but still turned and followed alpha Henry away.
I slowly walked toward the boy beneath the arbor–but halfway there , someone stepped in front of me. When I saw who it was, my pupils contracted.
“Ms. Aubrey, if you have any questions, you can ask me. Mr. Leon’s not in great health, so please stay back.”
The man blocking me had dark skin and sharp eyes like a starving wolf. I remembered him well. In my past life, he was the one who stopped me at the airport under Mateo’s orders and handed me over to Bailey. And it was him–following Bailey’s instructions–who crushed my right hand, the one I used for acupuncture.
The moment I saw him, I let out a slow smile–one laced with menace.
“You know Bailey?” I asked casually.
The man–Shane–froze for a second, and that slight hesitation told me everything I needed to know.
Feigning intimacy, I leaned slightly forward. “How do you two know each other? She talks about you all the time.”
“She talks about me?” he narrowed his eyes, the fondness in his tone making my stomach turn.
Bailey? So chummy, huh?
I scoffed and looked away. I didn’t dare meet his eyes again–because if I stared too long, I might lose control and crush his hand inch by inch the way he did to me last time.
If it hadn’t been for him, I wouldn’t have been falsely accused by Bailey with no way to clear my name. By the time I retrained myself to use my left hand for acupuncture, five years had passed, and no one believed me anymore. People even accused me of stealing Bailey’s research and called me a fraud.
I pushed down the rage in my chest and walked past Shane toward Leon.
The boy under the arbor looked up at the sound of my steps. His amber eyes, clear and bright, held a flicker of curiosity.
“Who are you?”
I smiled gently. “I’m the one who’s going to help you get better.”
Leon’s gaze dimmed slightly, but he still smiled politely behind his hand. “Thank you for caring… but no
one can cure me.”
“Don’t say that,” I said softly. “No one could cure you before, but that’s just because… you hadn’t met me yet .

Shane’s POV
There’s something off about this new omega wolf doctor Alpha brought in. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ƒindNoᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access s of novels early and in the highest quality.
She’s just an Omega–weak enough for me to crush with one finger–but for some reason, the moment 1 looked at her, my body tensed up. A deep instinct told me she was dangerous.
My beast instincts were screaming. She could expose me. She could ruin everything.
I slipped behind a tree and quickly dialed Bailey’s number. A year ago, I was injured on a mission and Bailey patched me up. We ended up tangled in bed that very night. Since then, I’d kept in touch, using her as my own personal plaything.
Maybe it was because she wanted an ally in the Zach family, but after finding out I was Mateo’s right– hand man, she became extra eager to please. We stayed in contact.
The call connected. I spoke quickly. “Your sister’s some kind of omega–class wolf doctor? How good is she , really?”
