Chapter 37
Reborn Omega: Avenge Herself Like an Alpha
37 The Island of Ghosts
Aubrey’s POV
The engine roared to life, and without answering me, Alpha Henry slammed the gas.
The car shot forward like an arrow, the city lights blurring into streaks beyond the windows. I didn’t ask where he was taking me. Honestly, with how much he hated me, I wasn’t worried about him trying anything. He probably just wanted to lecture me–or humiliate me one last time.
Then I recognized the road.
My fingers curled into my palm on instinct.
Ocean Island.
The most private land in the entire Shadowmoon Pack–Alpha Henry’s personal sanctuary. Beyond the family’s main estate on the outskirts, this two–thousand–square–meter island was where he spent most of his time. One road in, one road out. One villa. No intrusions.
In my past life, I’d dreamed about this place a thousand times. I imagined coming here as his Luna- imagined spending our heat cycles tucked away on this island, standing side by side on the balcony at dawn as Pack members sent us their blessings. I’d even planned to change the bedroom curtains to forest green and place freshly picked wildflowers on the table every morning.
Maybe we’d have pups. They’d call us “mom” and “dad.” Just the sound of it…
Beautiful lies.
Because until the day I died, I never set foot on this island.
And now? He brought me here so casually, so easily, like it meant nothing.
What a joke.
I clenched my hands into fists and closed my eyes. If it had been last life, I would’ve cried with joy. But now? It didn’t matter anymore.
By the time the heavy iron gates slowly opened, I’d already calmed down.
After we got out of the car, the staff silently stepped away. I stared out at the moonlight dancing on the lake and asked in a cold voice,
“Are you ready to talk now? What did you find? What do you want from me?”
Alpha Henry didn’t answer immediately. He leaned against the car, his sharp features dusted in silver by the moonlight.
Then, out of nowhere, he asked,
“Who were you
with at the motel? ”
I blinked. “What does that have to do with you?”
His brows drew together. His pupils, under the shadow of his lashes, shrank to slits. “Do you have to talk to me like that?” he snapped, stepping closer with that crushing Alpha dominance. “If I didn’t know you were

really Aubrey, I’d think someone had replaced yoti!”
My heart lurched–just for a second.
Then I looked away, toward the water. “Don’t act like you know me. If you’re not getting to the point , I’mm leaving
“Wait!” he said, grabbing my wrist. “What you said carlier–1 looked into it. But it’s been too long. I couldn’t find anything.”
“Oh.” I pulled my hand back, calm as still water. Whether he believed me, hated me, or liked someone else
-it meant nothing to me now.
He went quiet for a moment. His expression twisted a little–maybe he didn’t like my indifference. I guess it was hard for someone like him to spend time with someone he despised just to chase down the truth. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access s of novels early and in the highest quality.
I was about to leave when he suddenly spoke.
“But I thought it over. Even setting that matter aside, I shouldn’t have treated you the way I did. So…” He paused, searching for the words. “I want to make it up to you. Name your price.”
Under the moonlight, I could see the tension in his jaw. Clearly, this noble Alpha wasn’t used to lowering his head to anyone.
“Make it up to me?” I repeated, intrigued. “And what about Mariana Ru? What will you do with her?”
In my past life, he gave her everything she wanted. In the end, he was even ready to mate with her. He must have really loved her. Too bad I didn’t live long enough to see how that ended.
His expression twisted the second he heard her name. He frowned deeply and replied after a moment, “When she gets back, I’ll ask her myself.”
I laughed. “If she were willing to confess, she wouldn’t have done it in the first place.”
A sudden gust swept across the lake, carrying a wet chill. Alpha Henry said nothing. I could tell–he didn’t want to deal with her. I almost scoffed out loud.
But I wasn’t letting Mariana off the hook. After what she did to me, she didn’t deserve happiness. She deserved justice.
Still smiling coldly, I said, “Alpha, if you really want to know what kind of person Mariana Ru is… there’s one way.”
His tone dropped. “What way?”
