Aubrey’s POV

Under the weight of everyone’s curious stares and hushed whispers, I straightened and shot Alpha Henry a hard re.
But the way he looked at me… it was so deep, so intent, as if he wanted to seize me and devour me whole.
I frowned without meaning to. This wasn’t how things were supposed to be between us. Instinctively, I took half a step back–only to see him shift in the next heartbeat, returning to thatposerl, aristocratic poise, his expression tinged with faint gentleness. In the spotlight, he extended his hand to me once again.
“Shall we continue?”
It sounded like a question, but the natural dominance in his alpha presence allowed no real refusal.
In the end. I still reached out. No matter that I was now the Miguel family’s foster daughter – I could never truly defy the will of the pack’s true ruler.
And yet, in the near silence, my senses sharpened. The closer my hand came to his, the heavier the air grew around him, pressing in.
The tenderness in his gaze was like a vast, smothering, making it hard to breathe.
<i>“</i><i>He </i>loves <i>you</i>” E’s voice roared in my mind. “I just <i>don’t </i>understand why would he make you his <i>sister </i>instead <i>of </i>his Luna”
Bing siblings meant forging an unbreakable blood bond under the witness of the Moon Goddess. That new tie could eventually override the fated mate bond we once shared.
The Moon Goddess would never allow a brother and sister to mate; she would reim that “mistaken” blessing. Unless… Alpha Henry was willing to risk a journey to the Moon Goddess’s birthce – that mysterious ce from which not even the strongest alpha had ever returned.
Would he go? I didn’t know.
I answered E in my mind: “You don’t need to understand. All you need to know is that this is exactly what I want.”
I understood why Alpha Henry was doing this he wasn’t sure he’d recover, and he believed he was running <b>out </b>of time. That was why he’d rushed to hold this recognition banquet, to secure a future for me.
I also knew the other pack alphas here tonight were circling like wolves scenting blood. His position was dangerous
And I knew
–
right now he loved me deeply.
But true love should be built on trust, on facing hardships together, not on pushing me away “for my own good Did he really see me as the kind of she–wolf who could share only in prosperity but not in struggle?
The truth was, I was angry with Alpha Hory. He might love the. but he didn’t see me as someone he could entrust with everything. He sull looked down on me from that high alpha perch, believing an omega like me should simply obey weltered beneath his wings
That wasn’t the love I wanted

I wanted a love of equals, a love that stood shoulder to shoulder through every storm.

If he couldn’t give me that kind of love, then fine. I would be his sister, just as he wished and he could live with the consequencester.
From now on, my goal would be to break the Lupine virus, to create the strongest wolf–healer team in the north, and to end the humiliation of southern werewolves profiting from our herbs.
With that thought, I pushed away from the dangerous intensity in Alpha Henry’s gaze and said coldly, “I’m done dancing.”
Nifted my skirts and turned on my heel. My abrupt move drew startled looks from the guests.
Behind me, my father’s voice rang out in apology. “Forgive her, Alpha! Aubrey… it’s her first time dancing, she must just be shy. She didn’t mean any disrespect…”
I didn’t stay to hear Alpha Henry’s reply. I walked straight out of the banquet hall.
Once I was free from the weight of his gaze, I felt lighter, able to breathe again.
At the edge of the open–air pool, I stopped, staring at my reflection in the water. The moonlight spilled over me, and the diamonds on my gown shimmered like a real night sky, so beautiful they seemed to cast their own light.
He must have gone to a lot of trouble for this dress.
“Aubrey! What the hell did you do to make the alpha suddenly hate me so much?!”
Mariana’s voice tore through the night. She came at me like a rabid she–wolf, her expression more venomous than a vengeful spirit.
