Chapter 139 A Dangerous Invitation


    Henry’s POV


    Can you run?


    Aubrey’s question mmed into my chest like a stone–sharp, direct, impossible to escape.


    I didn’t want to run.

    I wanted to lose control with her, to fall headfirst into the madness, <i>to </i>taste every forbidden sweetness the world had to offer with her.


    I stared, nearly obsessed, at the omega in front of me. She was ice and fire, soft and piercing, a contradiction that made a man delirious. How could anyone <i>not </i>want her?


    But… I couldn’t.


    Back in Ste Pack, five werewolf soldiers besides me were infected with the same virus. Even though they received the antibody injections in time, they still managed to infect over a dozen omega caretakers. In the end… only one Beta survived.


    Every single infected omega died.


    If Aubrey stayed by my side, the risk of her getting infected—and dying–was far too high. No matter how skilled she was in healing, she was still just an omega. Fragile, vulnerable.


    And knowing her… if she found out I was sick, she wouldn’t leave. She’d fight to save me—even if it killed


    her.


    Desire and despair tore through me, warring inside my bones. But I couldn’t say a word.


    Then I heard her whisper.


    “Since you won’t answer, I’ll find out the most direct way.”


    Find out…?


    I was still frozen when she leaned down–and kissed me.


    My eyes widened.


    This was the taste I’d imagined a thousand times–cool, faintly sweet. Aubrey. But I couldn’t indulge. Not even for a second. Every moment I clung to her was another second I put her life at risk.


    I grabbed her–then shoved her away


    Hard.


    When she hit the floor, I forced myself not to move. She didn’t get up. She stayed there, head down, motionless. I couldn’t see her face.


    But I could feel the darkness radiating off her. Cold. Heavy. Twisted.


    I knew… when she stood up again, she’d never look at me the same way.

    Aubrey’s POV


    What a joke.


    I kissed him. And he shoved me away like I was something filthy.

    I sat there on the floor, soaked in rain, and realized–I’d been the punchline all along. I had promised myself I’d never fall for anyone again. I’d locked my heart down. But after all his confessions, all his persistence….


    I let myself believe.


    And this was the result.


    He chased me only because he couldn’t stand being rejected by a “weak” omega. Not because he cared. Not really.


    Fine.


    Alpha Henry, you win.


    I’ll never forget this humiliation.


    “Aubrey! I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Don’t fight with the alpha! It’s all my fault!”


    Mariana rushed to my side, full of false panic, acting like Henry only pushed me because of her.


    I pped her hand away, disgusted. “Enough, Mariana. Stop pretending. It’s disgusting.”


    “This man? I don’t want him anymore. You can have him.”


    I yanked the wolf fang ring from my finger–the symbol of the Shadowmoon Pack’s Luna. I scoffed.


    Mariana’s eyes locked onto the ring, and beneath her mask of concern, I caught a glimpse of pure obsession.


    She reached out to take it.


    I smiled coldly–then raised my arm high-


    And smashed it to the ground.


    The ring shattered on impact, pieces flying across the floor like sharp little lies.


    In that burst of silver, everything shattered with it–every illusion, every ounce of affection, every drop of


    humiliation.


    If I, Aubrey, throw something away no one else gets to have it either.


    “Alpha Henry. Ha…”


    I turned away, never looking back.


    The past was a dream.


    Now it was broken.
