Reborn Omega: Avenge Herself Like an Alpha
187 A Privilege Just for Me
Aubrey’s POV
Alpha Henry’s lips curled. “That’s a privilege only you get to have.”
That…
I pressed my lips together. “I’m going to take a shower. If you need anything, hit the emergency button.” I got up and walked toward the bathroom.
Alpha Henry nodded. “Go ahead. I already had someone run the water.”

That strange feeling crept up on me again. I turned to look back at him. He was reclining sideways on the couch, resting his chin on one hand, gazing at me with his jaw slightly lifted.
Even seated, his lean frame radiated a kind of bold dominance. And with those sharply defined features and piercing violet eyes that looked like they could spark electricity, the whole room seemed filled with this restless energy. I swallowed involuntarily, feeling a bit
nervous.
“What’s wrong?” Alpha Henry smirked. “Too tired to undress yourself?”
That look in his eyes had a sharp, almost predatory edge, and it made me shudder. Was he teasing me? Maybe. But I couldn’t afford to care, and I didn’t want to.
“No.”
With that, I quickly ducked into the bathroom.
Every part of the old mansion was kept at a comfortable temperature. I let out a satisfied sigh as I sank into the bathtub.
The top floor, where we lived, was off–limits to everyone else. There was a secure gate at the bottom of the stairs. If there were ever a virus breach, that door would sound an alarm. Thankfully, in all this time, it had never gone off.
I closed my eyes and let my thoughts drift.
It was almost time to choose a research advisor. I’d be able to fill in the gaps in my knowledge, one piece at a time. As for the future, I already had a vision. Once Alpha Henry recovered, I planned to open my own research institute. I loved working in medicine and pharmaceutical research. Of course, all of that/would have to wait until I dealt with a few… unpleasant people first.
As the faces of my enemies–some familiar, some still unknown–flashed through my mind, I opened my eyes, my gaze turning cold.
Making a deal with the Miguel family had been a wise decision. At the very least, none of those

enemies could touch me casily anymore. Still, I needed my own power base. What if things ever went south with the Miguel family? You can’t keep all your eggs in one basket.
When I came out of the bathroom, Alpha Henry had already fallen asleep on the couch. His handsome face looked a little pale. He hadn’t said a word about it, but I could tell the virus had been tormenting him badly. A regular werewolf probably wouldn’t have lasted this long.
I sighed silently, then picked up a blanket to cover him. As I got closer, I noticed he was still holding his tablet. The screen was still on. I happened to glance at it and realized it wasn’t classified pack business–it was the Ocean University student forum.
I swiped once or twice and saw that the forums were buzzing about the sudden rise of this “genius omega“-me. Some people didn’t believe I was actually that capable. Others were firmly convinced that I might just be the future of northern werewolf medicine.
Then I noticed a private message notification pop up on the account. I opened it –and froze.
Alpha Henry was arguing with people in the DMs?
I scrolled through his account and quickly realized that he had responded to nearly every post and comment insulting me.
I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. I’d never cared much about what people thought of me, but… being defended like that, being cared about that way… it warmed me from the inside out.
I didn’t keep reading. Instead, I set the tablet aside and gently draped the blanket over him. Later that night, I got a call from Dad.
He told me Bailey was heading to a university in the South Continent for further studies. “You should come see her off the day she leaves.” Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ƒind ηøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access s of novels early and in the highest quality.
