Once I confirmed Alpha Henry was unconscious, I tossed the handkerchief aside and pressed the emergency alarm. Within moments, seven or eight werewolves rushed in–each of them one of our most reliable men.
“Ms. Mary, what happened to the Alpha?”
Beta Cam was the first to sense something was wrong. His tone was tight with concern.
I immediately put on a worried expression. “Looks like the Kajit virus has mutated again. To speed up the research, I’ve decided to leave today. Cam, contact Flame Pack’s alpha. We’ll need their support.”
“Understood, Ms. Mary.” Cam hesitated for a second, then turned and went to make the call.
“But did Alpha actually agree to this?” Perry asked, scratching his head, clearly skeptical.
I gave a helpless sigh. “He didn’t at first. I spent the whole night trying to convince him.”
“But Alpha wouldn’t let you risk yourself like this,” Perry said hesitantly. “Everyone knows the Kajit virus is most dangerous to omegas. And Ulrich’s latest strain… it seems even more lethal.”
He knew Alpha Henry well. I couldn’t help but glance at him with some appreciation. “He’s extremely worried about me. That’s why, Perry, go gather nine more guards to come with us. Otherwise, he’ll never stop worrying.”
As soon as I handed out the task, Perry’s mind got thrown off track. He instinctively responded and hurried off to find the best werewolf warriors.
Soon, everyone had gone–except Xavier.
“Kid,” Xavier said, stroking his mustache, “you drugged the Alpha, didn’t you? I can smell the sedative . ”
“You caught me.” I admitted without flinching. “I didn’t have a choice. The longer we stall, the worse it gets, Once I’ve made a decision, nothing can stop me. Not even him.”
Xavier sighed. “But if you just leave like this, he’s going to come looking for you.”
“Which is exactly why I’m leaving you behind!” I gave a sly smile. “Keep him here–that’s your job. And if that doesn’t work, go report him to his parents. I think they’d know how to stop Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findnøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access s of novels early and in the highest quality.
him.”
“Fine…” Xavier muttered, realizing I’d already planned everything. “And his body?”
“I’m counting on you.”

I stood and gently laid Alpha Henry flat. “I’ll prepare a bath formula. It’s based on something I used when I was a kid, but I’ve improved it. While I’m gone, make sure he soaks in it for an hour every day. As for the rest of the treatment–you know what to do. Now could you please guard the door for me?”
Xavier understood that I had my secrets. He nodded. “Alright. Just be careful.”
And with that, he left.
I swept my fingers across the kit, unfolding it in a single motion.
To anyone watching, it might’ve looked like a magic trick.
The needles floated an inch from my fingers, but still pierced Alpha Henry’s skin with absolute precision–like something supernatural.
This technique was the pinnacle of werewolf acupuncture–an ancient method for preserving life.
There were records of it in old texts, but of those who once knew how to perform it, only I remained alive.
The needles I used today were genuine longevity needles. They drained a great deal of my energy and blood essence. It wasn’t as extreme as transferring life force outright, but it would be enough to keep Alpha Henry alive for a month.
One treatment per month–that was the limit of what I could do. It kept me from burning myself out while holding the virus at bay inside him.
By the time I’d retrieved the needles, I could barely stay on my feet.
I called Xavier back inside and handed off the next steps.
Seeing how pale I looked, Xavier’s voice turned soft. “Ms. Mary, we’ve all seen how much you’ve done for Alpha. I believe, if he recovers… he’ll never let you down.”
I didn’t say anything in response. I just gave a faint, ambiguous smile,
By the time Alpha Henry woke up, I was already on the plane with the wolf medics.
