Aubrey smiled faintly. “We don’t have time to waste. We’ll begin tomorrow. You’ve all worked hard today–get some rest tonight.”
“Yes, but it’s you who needs the rest most.”
The other wolf doctors now followed Aubrey’s lead without question. She was simply too remarkable. Every time they thought she’d reached her limit, she endured and pushed through. She wasn’t like any fragile omega they had ever known.
That evening, after Aubrey finished her bath, Perry came to fetch her.
“Miss, to celebrate this milestone, Madam cooked personally and asked me to bring you over.”
At the mention of Adelyn, Aubrey’s rigid expression softened slightly. She nodded. “Alright. I’ll change and come right away.”
When she came downstairs, she found the entire Feng family gathered.
“Aubrey! Are you feeling any better?”
Adelyn hurried over with concern, taking her hand and leading her to the table.
“I’m feeling better,” Aubrey replied. The medicinal bath she soaked in helped ease her pain to some degree. But her wan complexion was something she couldn’t hide. No matter how much pain she could endure, the grueling drug trials still left marks on her body.
Not wanting Adelyn to worry, she forced a smile and shifted the topic, glancing at the feast on the table. “There’s really no need for a celebration. Once we defeat the virus, that’s when we should celebrate.”
Seeing her so full of confidence, Sean exchanged a look with his wife. “Actually, tonight isn’t just about celebrating. There’s also something important we need to discuss.”
Aubrey sat down beside Alpha Henry, only to notice how stiff and proper he sat, his handsome face tense as if under pressure. He didn’t even look at her.
Strange…
“What is it? ” she asked.

“We’re thinking of a way to dissolve the sibling contract between you and Kaizer,” Adelyn said slowly, her expression serious. Just two days ago, she discovered Cam secretly investigating the origins of the Moon Goddess. She knew then that her son intended to go there to break the sibling bond. But…
“That’s far too dangerous,” Aubrey frowned.
When Adelyn first adopted her, the process had been conducted with the utmost formality. The Feng family had built an altar to the Moon Goddess, performed a special ritual to “inform” the deity, and invited the clan elders to divine the outcome. Only after receiving the Moon Goddess’s recognition was the contract officially established, binding them as siblings.

The bond was absolute, carrying immense authority. As long as it existed, no werewolf in the Shadowmoon Pack could question Aubrey’s identity. Even if Alpha Henry were to leave the pack in her hands someday, no one would have grounds to oppose it.
But it also meant that she and Alpha Henry were bound to remain siblings, never crossing that line. The only way to dissolve the contract was to journey to the mysterious and perilous birthplace of the Moon Goddess. According to ancient records, any werewolf who reached its deepest heart could meet the Moon Goddess herself–and she would grant them any wish.
Yet for nearly a century, many had entered, but not a single one had ever returned alive.
And then… Aubrey couldn’t help but ask Ella in her heart, “Can you still sense that Alpha Henry is our mate?” Because she had been taking suppressants all along, Ella hadn’t been much affected by the Kajit virus.
“Of course. I told you ages ago the Moon Goddess doesn’t care… wait, hold on!” Ella’s tail swished lazily in Aubrey’s mind, but the next second her casual tone snapped, tight with urgency. “Something’s not right…”
“What is it?” Aubrey asked quickly.
“I can feel it–the bond between us and Alpha Henry… it’s weakening.” Ella’s voice faltered, then burst out in alarm. “Oh, hell!”
