Aubrey closed her eyes, her voice steady, almost detached. “Next, I’ll need a lot of herbs. But don’t worry. In my condition, I can still keep you alive. Neither of us will
She didn’t finish.
Henry crushed her against his chest with such force it felt like a farewell embrace, the kind born from despair.
“How could you…”
His voice was low and hoarse, trembling with disbelief. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access s of novels early and in the highest quality.
“How could you say something like that so casually? Aubrey, why did you do it?!”
Before she could answer, his arms tightened, locking her in place against the frantic rhythm of his heart, against the faint, uncontrollable shudder of his body.
“You don’t get to make choices like that without me!”
The words tore out of him like those of a wounded child, like someone dangling over a cliff edge, clinging to her as if she were the only rope keeping him from the abyss .
Aubrey had never seen him this undone.
“I’ll be fine,” she replied calmly, eerily calm.
In her past life, she had survived a month with the Kajit virus before realizing her body wasn’t like everyone else’s. Even without treatment, she could linger, longer than most. She already knew the agony to come, but she also knew she could endure it. Whatever pain awaited her would never match the horror of being a living experiment.
But her composure only suffocated Henry further.
She knew the risks better than anyone. She knew his blood was death itself–and still she had. taken it into her mouth, without hesitation, without fear, without regret.
Why?
Why would she hurl herself into the abyss for him?
Why would anyone go that far–for him?

His mind spiraled, chaotic and dark. Other than his parents, no one had ever chosen him over their own life. Not once .
If he’d known… he would never have let her step foot in that banquet hall.
It
Was his fault. He had put her in harm’s way.
Feeling the storm tearing through him, Aubrey patted his back lightly, unable to grasp why he was unraveling so badly.
She didn’t regret her choice. Without it, the situation would have been far worse. Now, at worst, she was her own test subject.
“It’s really nothing,” she said with a faint frown. “I trust my skills. And besides, didn’t you once ask me if I’d be willing to die with you? Well, now we truly live and die together. Why aren’t you happy?”
Her words hit him like a blade to the chest. His body jerked violently.
And then-
Aubrey felt something warm fall onto her neck. A droplet.
She froze.
Henry’s eyes were squeezed shut, his voice breaking, raw.
“…If I’d known you would be this foolish, I would have told you–I never wanted you to die with me. I only wanted you to live. To live well. I’m sorry.”
His words blurred as the shock of that tear stole her breath, scattering her thoughts into white noise.
What was happening?
Alpha Henry. Cold, unflinching Alpha Henry–the man who could keep fighting even with a shattered leg, face carved from stone–Was crying.
