Chapter 105 The Edge Between Us
<b>Henry’s </b>POV
“I’m terrifying?”
Her words hit me like a silver bullet
right in the chest. Heavy. Bitter, Searing. I wanted to <b>roar</b><b>; </b><b>but </b><b>all </b><b>I </b>
could do was clench my fists and swallow it down.
Aubrey was stillughing–cold and sharp. “Aren’t you? You used to treat Mariana like she was everything. Everyone in the pack thought you loved her, that you wanted her as your Luna. And now, not even that <b>long </b>after, you exposed her humiliated her in front of the whole werewolf realm for giarism<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Her voice dropped lower. Colder.
“So what happens when one day you lose interest in me, this omega you’re <i>so </i>obsessed with now<b>? </b><b>When </b>you grow tired of me, will you just toss me to the ground? Will you drag me through hell like you did <b>her</b><b>? </b>
That’s a damn usation!
I ground my teeth. “You know I’d never do that to you! I-”
“Don’t tell me you love me.” Her eyes turned sharp a time, you loved her.”
–
full of fury I hadn’t seen before. “Because once upon
Her voice sliced me open.
“So what if one day you find out I was the liar? That I tricked you? That it was actually Mariana who saved you back then? What then?”
She didn’t wait for an answer.
“Will you explode in rage? Will you make me wish I was dead? Alpha, you’ve stood on top for so long – whatever you want, you take. It’s easy for you. But for someone like me… being near you is dangerous. You
scare me.”
She pulled away and turned to leave.
“No!” I shouted suddenly.
“I swear on my alpha’s name
—
even if you did lie to me, even if you used me, even if you turned out to be the most ruthless, heartless woman in the world – I would never hurt you!”
She didn’t stop. I stepped in front of her and locked eyes with her.
“Aubrey. You don’t have to ept me But don’t you dare doubt me.”
Aubrey’s POV
He looked dead serious.
But I didn’t dare bet on his sincerity.
I pressed my lips together and said nothing.
Still, he continued, quieter now. “Give me a chance. You’ve got too many enemies. I’m the only <b>one </b><b>who </b><b>can </b>

protect you.”
“After we left Mateo’s ce, I started digging into Bailey’s background. And I found <b>something </b>strange
“She seems to have secret ties to southern werewolves. Deep ties. The kind of hidden connection even had trouble uncovering.”
He paused, then added, “Which means one thing: whoever’s backing her if even I couldn’t <b>identify </b><b>them </b>
they’re not simple.”
Southern wolves?
My heart lurched. That… wasn’t what I expected. But it made sense.
In the north, the Shadowmoon Pack holds dominant power. Even those who dislike me wouldn’t <b>dare </b><b>make </b>a move, knowing I’m Alpha Henry’s fiancée. But southern wolves? They had no reason to hold back.
They didn’t fear Henry.
And back then, I had started making progress in medical techniques. If Bailey told them… if they <b>saw </b><b>me </b><b>as </b>through Bailey. a threat, they might’ve chosen to ruin me –
That would give them total control over the werewolf pharmaceutical industry.
I just didn’t understand – why would someone so powerful help <i>Bailey</i>? And who exactly was this person?
I ran through the names of southern Alphas in my head – but none of them clicked.
Just then, Henry’s voice cut through my thoughts.
“There’s one more thing.”
He looked at me, serious again.
“I’m leaving tomorrow. I have to travel to Ste Pack. I won’t be back for a while. You need to be careful while I’m gone.”
His words made my brows knit.
Ste Pack…
That was near the bordends of the continents – and the first ce that had been ravaged by the virus years ago.
