Third Person POV
Not on guard?

Alpha Mateo almost laughed. Even after working with Aubrey many times, the sharp omega had never let her guard down–no need to tell Hudson that.
“Aubrey is under Alpha Henry’s protection. No one can touch her,” Mateo said.
“Maybe not.” Hudson smiled darkly. “My people told me Aubrey already left–with company. There are plenty of bodyguards, so grabbing her by force will be hard. Alpha Mateo, choose: save your brother and help us capture her, or watch your brother die.”
“If he dies, do you really think you can leave this place alive?” Mateo’s phone stayed in his pocket, the line open.
“At this point I’ve nothing to lose–let’s gamble.” Hudson sneered. “Cut the talk. When Aubrey brings her people here, you just hold back her guards for a moment. That’ll be enough.”
Aubrey, monitoring the whole exchange by phone, let out a soft, contemptuous snort. As long as Leon was unharmed, she allowed herself a brief relief–she’d never accept bargaining with murderers. If she wanted to keep Leon alive, the only way was to kill them all. Updates are released by find⁂novel.net
“Want to catch me? You better have the skill for it,” she murmured.
She glanced at Charles, whose face had gone pale. Inwardly she sighed, then said, “You can step back now.” She’d heard Hudson’s voice.
Charles recognized the speaker—his father—instantly.
“Oh, shit. What the hell is Dad doing? Has he lost his mind?” Soren, Charles’s wolf, snarled in the back of his mind.
“I don’t know…” Charles answered in his head, anger and shame rising. He could not fathom how the man who’d taught him honesty could fall so far. Was he betraying Shadowmoon Pack? The Lynn family’s ruin was of their own making–no one else’s fault.
And using Aubrey as bait to threaten an alpha?
His thoughts swirled, but he knew he couldn’t shirk responsibility. He swallowed his turmoil and said, word by word, “I’m not stepping back.”
“Fine… execute the plan.”

Chapter 374 The Bargain Unravels
Half an hour later a black sedan rolled into Aligator Harbor.
Hudson and Alpha Matco held their breath.
Mateo thought: if Aubrey knew Hudson’s design, she wouldn’t walk into a trap. Hudson, hiding nearby, was counting on Matco to force her into a position where they could seize her–if Mateo did that. Hudson would save himself a lot of trouble.
The car stopped. Only one person stepped out. He didn’t look at Alpha Mateo; he called toward the warehouse, “I’m Charles. I want to see your leader.”
Aubrey’s absence left Hudson unsettled; his son’s arrival only deepened his confusion.
Dave cursed under his breath. “You said she’d come. Where is she?!”
Hudson’s face went pale; he gritted his teeth. “I’ll go talk. Let’s see what game she’s playing.”
This time Hudson stepped out alone. Leon remained in Dave’s custody–a powerful bargaining chip that could not be risked.
In front of the warehouse, Hudson shot a suspicious glance at Alpha Mateo, then at Charles.
“Why are you here? Where’s Aubrey?”
