Alpha Henry made a trip to the dungeon and found only betas and gammas locked inside. There wasn’t a single alpha among them, let alone a female one.
He frowned as his gaze swept over the captives. “Have any of you ever encountered a female alpha wolf?”
The moment the question left his mouth, the atmosphere froze. The werewolves exchanged glances, then all lowered their heads and answered in unison. “No.”
Alpha Henry was certain they had. But for reasons unknown, they refused to speak.
He couldn’t help recalling how every time he had sensed his mate’s aura, it was when Aubrey was in danger. And now, once again, it was the same. Could it be that his mate had been secretly guarding Aubrey all along? But why?
Alpha Henry didn’t understand. Callen muttered in his mind, “I think it’s because she loves you too much. And since she knows you love Aubrey, she’s been quietly protecting her for your sake… oh, what a wonderful mate, I love her.”
Alpha Henry: “…”
In the dungeon, Justin suddenly called out as Henry turned to leave. “Alpha.”
Henry stopped and looked back at him, his eyes icy.
Justin hesitated, then said, “If possible, please apologize to Ms. Mary for me. Tell her I deeply regret my earlier disrespect. If she’ll allow it, I’ll come in person to beg her forgiveness.”
Henry’s brows knit tighter. He knew Justin–this was a man who never respected female wolves, who saw them only as playthings to be used and discarded. But now, when speaking of Aubrey, there was admiration in his eyes.
A beta, showing reverence for an omega without a wolf?
Henry was puzzled, though Justin clearly wasn’t going to explain. And since their antidote research still depended heavily on support from the Wood family, they couldn’t punish him too severely this time.
Still… Henry sneered. “No need. Aubrey would never want to see you.”
With that, he turned and left.

Justin stood frowning for a while, then sank to the ground. In his mind, he replayed the image of Aubrey in wolf form. He had never seen such a powerful female wolf. He had to admit it–he was enthralled.
A fire burned in his eyes. What could be more thrilling, more intoxicating, than conquering a female alpha?
The next day, news about Aubrey once again shook the Shadowmoon Pack.
At first, rumors spread that Aubrey had engaged in a mass mating with male werewolves and had been caught in the act by the alpha himself.
But when Henry set fire to the villa and rescued Aubrey, the truth became clear. The imposter omega was exposed. Henry tore off her fake face, unwilling to let anyone flaunt Aubrey’s image for deception.
As for the arson itself, no one bothered to question it.
Those who had tried to harm Aubrey were thrown into the dungeon. For three days and nights, they were flogged with whips laced in wolf poison. Only then were their families allowed to pay an enormous ransom to take them away.
Every coin went straight into Aubrey’s personal account. And for this, they all came to resent Bailey.
Bailey herself, as the daughter of the Fog Pack’s alpha, should have been untouchable. But when it came to Aubrey, Henry had no principles.
He had her nailed to a cross with silver spikes, whipped relentlessly with wolf poison lashes. Whenever she fainted, she was doused with chili water to wake her, only to be whipped again- until the Fog Pack finally sent someone to retrieve her.
Aubrey supported this completely.
Death came in an instant, but unending torment–that was true despair.
Three days later, the previous head of the Wood family came personally to apologize and ransom his son Justin.
Henry didn’t stop him. But Justin insisted he would apologize to Aubrey face–to–face.
