I didn’t want to feel this way–but in this moment, something inside me eased. Deep down, I had hoped she would stay.
“All right, Aubrey. As long as you can stop the virus from spreading, I’ll cooperate fully.”
If there was no risk of infecting her, then even if I couldn’t be cured in the end, I wouldn’t have any regrets. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ FɪndNøvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access s of novels early and in the highest quality.

Aubrey’s POV
That night, I moved into the Miguel estate. I extended my leave from school. Thankfully, with all the knowledge I’d carried over from my previous life, I was already far ahead of the academic curve. Otherwise, this kind of absence would’ve been disastrous.
Using notes I’d compiled–based on years of firsthand experience as a human test subject in my past life–I quickly locked down the direction of the research. I then offered my blood to the elite wolf medics that the Miguel family had secretly summoned.”
I told them honestly, “Because of my childhood training and years of medicinal baths, my body, though omega, is highly resistant to infection. My blood has strong antiviral properties. It might help.”
With the Miguel family backing me and these medics being absolutely loyal to Alpha Henry, they didn’t dare question me. After receiving my blood, they expressed deep gratitude and immediately started working according to the plan I’d laid out.
Watching these elite northern wolf medics–the best of the best–I felt increasingly confident. After all, the virus in Henry’s body was only an incomplete strain of the K–Virus. Its toxicity was dozens of times weaker.
Still, there were risks. I frowned.

In my past life, those wolf medics made rapid breakthroughs only because I’d been the perfect live test subject. My blood, my constitution–everything about me was ideal for experimentation. That kind of progress had come at a price.
This time, I was only offering blood samples. Who knew whether that would be enough to get them the same results? More importantly–could Henry’s body hold out long enough?
Before a cure could be found, I had to keep him alive.
With a sigh, I realized I’d need to return to the Mary family and retrieve my gold acupuncture needles. The set I used to carry had been lost back in the
Shadowmoon Pack.
Once I was confirmed virus–free, I received clearance to leave the estate.
But just as I reached the gates, I ran into Perry.
His expression was tense–anger in his eyes, and something else… hatred? Toward
me?
“Ms. Aubrey, can you really save the alpha?” he asked through gritted teeth.
“Ninety percent,” I replied calmly.
His entire frame relaxed, and the tall, muscular warrior’s eyes filled with tears. “Ms. Aubrey, please… you have to save him. He only got sick because he was trying to save you!”
My expression darkened. “What do you mean?”
Perry lowered his head and explained. Back in the Shadowmoon Pack, Henry had delayed getting the antibody injection–just to save me.
And when I heard that, my heart lurched violently.
What did he mean by giving up his one–percent chance of survival so I could live with a hundred?
He was insane. An alpha trading his life for an omega’s? No one would ever think that was worth it.
Anyone else, faced with a one–percent chance to live, would’ve clung to it–hell, even one in a thousand. Because it was their life.

But he gave it up. Without hesitation.

I thought of the last life. Henry had recovered after two months. This time, he was dying, the antibodies failing. The different outcomes–this was the reason.
It was because of me.
He could have survived.
“Perry,” I said quietly, “I swear–I will save him.”
