“You don’t have to do this…” Aubrey shook her head. “You’ve already helped me so much. Without you, those top wolf doctors never would’ve come to my side. I wouldn’t be free to do whatever I wanted. You’ve already done enough.”
“But I can’t share your pain.”
Alpha Henry’s expression was unwavering, each word spoken with absolute conviction. “Don’t refuse me. Please?”
Aubrey studied him, sensing the sincerity in his gaze. He truly wanted to shoulder something for her anything. To deny him now would almost feel like hurting him.
In the end, Aubrey relented with a helpless sigh.
“Fine. If neither of us takes it, then let’s give the painkillers to those in the quarantine zone. Believe me, once I cure them, Shadowmoon Pack will gain several powerful beta warriors.”
Henry chuckled softly. To him, all of that was nothing but background noise. The only thing that mattered was Aubrey’s safety.
After this talk, Henry immediately summoned his beta, Cam, and ordered him to secretly gather all possible information about the Moon Goddess’s origin site. He had made up his mind–once Aubrey conquered the Kajit virus and his body recovered, he would go there. He would break the sibling bond.
And
yes, while there, he would also sever the mate bond that bound him. Then, free of every chain, he could propose to Aubrey, take her as his mate, and live happily by her side forever.
Cam was against it–after all, no one could guarantee survival in that place–but Henry’s determination left no room for debate. He had no choice but to obey, keeping everything strictly secret. Aside from Cam, no one knew.
Days passed, Aubrey pouring herself completely into her research, leaving no time to deal with certain people.
Meanwhile, the southern continent was rocked by breaking news. The wolf leader of the south, Wanda, had suddenly found his long–lost daughter. He declared before all of Fog Pack that his daughter, Bailey, would inherit his alpha throne.
In an instant, Bailey transformed into the heir of the south’s most powerful wolf pack, taking the name Wan Bailey.

Back in Shadowmoon Pack, news spread as well. The Lynn family collapsed into ruin. Aurelia and Jax divorced, severing their mate bond. Since they had been chosen mates, it only required a ritual beneath the full moon–each rejecting the other aloud in the moonlight–to end it.
Afterward, Aurelia led the remnants of the Lynn family south to join her daughter Bailey in Fog Pack.
Traveling with them was Mariana, who had been stripped of rank, reduced to omega, and humiliated endlessly within Shadowmoon Pack.
Fog Pack.
Bailey lounged in her garden, a teenager barely eighteen yet dressed in a revealing gown like a woman in her twenties, filing her nails with idle arrogance. Before her, Mariana wept pitifully.
“Didn’t expect you to have fallen so far,” Bailey drawled, her tone dripping with condescension.
Mariana swallowed her bitterness, her voice trembling with grievance. “I offended the alpha, and he cruelly cast me down to omega. Now everyone in Shadowmoon Pack shuns me. Even my parents have suffered because of me. Bailey… I had nowhere else to turn!”
As she spoke, tears spilled freely, her mind replaying the scorn and humiliation of recent days -torments she believed should have belonged to Aubrey, not her.
But to Bailey, Mariana’s sobs were nothing but tiresome noise. She wasn’t a male werewolf- what use was crying to her?
“Mariana,” Bailey cut in sharply, her tone impatient, “if you have something to say, I’ve got a banquet to attend, and I don’t have time to waste.”
