When they returned to the residence, Aubrey’s mind was clear, though her body dragged with exhaustion.
In her last life, when she’d drunk Bailey’s poisoned water, the sickness hadn’t struck until about twelve hours later.
This time, what she carried was not even the perfected Lupine virus, but its unstable version–the Kajit virus. Her symptoms would come even later.
After injecting herself with antibodies, Aubrey slipped away from the anxious Henry and made for the basement where Ulrich was confined.
He had been dragged here hooded, stripped of pride, tied down with ropes soaked in wolfsbane.
Aubrey stepped inside, her gaze sweeping over him. He looked thinner than when she’d last seen him on Gold Mountain–gaunt, almost skeletal.
She knelt, tugging off the heavy hood.
Ulrich blinked at her, then thrashed against his bonds with a muffled snarl, eyes blazing with hate.
Aubrey tugged out the gag, “Tsk. You look pitiful. Haven’t been eating or sleeping well?”
She sat casually in the chair opposite, while he hunched on the floor, bound, shivering with fury.
“Aubrey… are you here to kill me?” His voice rasped. “Didn’t you say you were so fascinated by the Lupine virus–no, the Kajit virus? Don’t you

want to know why I passed through that lab and never got sick?”
Her eyes narrowed.

Ulrich’s own gleamed with a sly light. He lowered his voice, coaxing. “If you want to know… come closer. I’ll whisper it.” His lip curled in a cruel smile. “That virus was made because of me. I worked with the witch. I know its principles better than you ever will.”
Aubrey stayed silent a beat, then rose, stepping toward him. Ulrich’s grin widened, teeth flashing, ready to bite.
But before he could even try, she caught his wrist, drew her dagger, and sliced open his skin. Blood welled and dripped onto the detector she’d brought.
The device lit scarlet.
“You are infected with the Kajit virus,” Aubrey said evenly. “A special case. No symptoms, no pain–but inside, your body is already rotting. Your bond with your wolf must be fading too, isn’t it?”
Ulrich’s eyes flew wide. “How do you know that?!”
Aubrey’s laugh was cold. How could she not know? She too had once been a special host, her body harboring the virus. Only unlike him, she had felt everything.
She sealed the device into a bag and set it aside before lowering herself back into the chair.
“I won’t kill you,” she said softly. “I plan to build a research institute in Sineville. You’ll be my first live subject.”
Relief flickered over Ulrich’s face–quick, shallow. If she wouldn’t kill him, then perhaps there was hope.

Her next words crushed it.
“You think being an experiment is better than death?”
His silence was answer enough.

She leaned forward, smiling with cruel precision. “Your only advantage over the others is that you feel no pain, isn’t it?”
Ulrich flinched.
“The Kajit virus destroys wolves from the inside out. It burns, it tears. Even the strongest alpha betrays agony in his face, his body. But you…” Aubrey’s eyes gleamed. “You show nothing. No fever. No torment.”
His expression twisted.
She didn’t wait for an answer. “Your nerves are deadened. That’s why you feel nothing. And yes–you will outlast the others. But not for long. Three months, maybe four. Half a year at most.”
Her smile was sharp as a blade. “That’s the limit of your ‘gift. You’ll never live beyond it.”
