113 Strike from the Shadows
Aubrey’s POV

After leaving that impoverished village, I kept my eyes on the map and made my way toward the denser parts of the city..
It shouldn’t be far now. In my last life, this was where they built the Level Four virus research facility. That’s where I’m heading. Only there can I truly be of use.
Just then, Ella warned me from within, “Hide. Someone’s approaching–lots of them. Hundreds!”
I immediately found a place to hide, and soon after, I saw a pack of over five hundred werewolves storm past. They howled as they ran, eyes wild with bloodlust.
Their accents… they were from the South! –
I thought for a moment, then shifted into wolf form, suppressing my alpha aura and quietly followed. S~ᴇaʀᴄh the FɪndNøvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access s of novels early and in the highest quality.
As I ran with them, I realized I was getting closer to my destination.
It hit me–these bastards were heading straight for the hospital! They were going to destroy the research facility!
My stomach dropped. If they blew it up, then all of this would’ve been for nothing. But how could I stop them on my own?
As I was panicking, the southern wolves suddenly came to a halt. Someone was blocking their path.
Relief flooded through me. Of course–they didn’t succeed in my last life, so they wouldn’t this time either.
The fighting up ahead was fierce. I didn’t feel right just standing by and doing nothing, but if I rushed in, both sides might mistake me for an enemy and attack.
I hid and shifted back into human form, checking all my pockets. Finally, I found what I was looking for.
Along the way, I hadn’t just been traveling–I’d been observing the symptoms of infected wolves at different stages, noting their reactions to the medicine I made.
I also collected several types of poisonous plants for self–defense.
I crept closer. Luckily , both sides were too caught up in fighting to notice me.
I let out a quiet breath, gauged the wind direction, then crawled toward a low building and waited for the right moment to strike. I flung the powder straight into the middle of the southern wolves.
Every throw hit dead–on.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have much of the powder. I managed to hit about thirty or forty of them. The wolves‘ eyes rolled back and they collapsed on the spot, quickly trampled into a mess by both sides.
A deafening roar followed as the battlefield stirred. Both factions broke apart in confusion.
I was just about to shift back into wolf form and leap into the fray on the northern side when I caught sight of a magnificent silver–gray wolf.

His blood–streaked coat gleamed, and his body radiated a powerful alpha aura. His sleek, deadly form stood tall at the front of the northern pack, eyes sharp and commanding–like an unstoppable general.
I rubbed my eyes. It was alpha Henry. But I had never seen him like this before–radiating raw killing intent and pure confidence, shining like a diamond.
I hesitated. If I jumped in like this in wolf form, he’d definitely spot me. But….
I glanced at the battlefield. Henry had maybe eighty wolves still capable of fighting, while the southern wolves had over four hundred left–most of them seasoned beta warriors.
If I didn’t intervene, this fight would become a brutal, drawn–out massacre. Even if Henry was the only alpha present, it’d still be hell.
And those warriors behind him–how many would survive? Maybe not even twenty.
I thought of the little girl waiting at the village gate, clinging to hope. She was still holding on, believing her brother would come home. But these wolves–these warriors–were someone else’s brothers. Sons. Fathers.
I couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
And the fastest way to end a lopsided battle like this was-
“Let me out. I’ll tear the leader’s throat out!” Ella roared in my mind.
Take down the alpha, and the rest would fall. Ella was right.
I narrowed my eyes, made my choice, and handed over control to Ella. I shifted into my wolf form and leapt down with the full force of an alpha’s aura.
