Chapter 188 No Turning Back
Aubrey’s POV
I raised an eyebrow. I hadn’t expected him to make that kind of request.
“I think Bailey would rather see anyone but me,” I replied with a cold smile.

Dad sighed, sounding a little annoyed. “We’re family. There’s no such thing as a grudge thatsts overnight. You and Bailey were both in the wrongst time. Can’t you just let it go?”
I let out a shortugh. Dad was honestly both pitiful and na?ve.
“Dad, giving in all the time doesn’t bring peace. And pretending everything’s fine doesn’t make it real. Ever since I crashed the Lynn family banquet, Bailey, Aurelia, and I–we stopped being family.”
“How could that be…”
“How could it not?” I cut him off before he could start lecturing again. My voice turned ice cold. “Dad, stop lying to yourself. These days, getting divorced from your chosen mate isn’t even taboo anymore. And you know just as well as I do, in their hearts, the Lynn family is their real family. If push came to shove, they’d sacrifice you for the Lynns without a second thought -and they wouldn’t feel the slightest bit guilty about it.”
Hearing mey it out so directly, Dad’s tone got sharper. “Aubrey! Why do you always have to assume the worst about them? There’s been a huge misunderstanding between you. Aurelia watched you grow up. Even if she’s been impulsivetely, I still believe she…”
“She still loves me?”
I chuckled. “Dad, the Lynn family already sees me as their enemy. You really need to face reality.”
And with that, I hung up.
I knew no amount of words would change anything. Dad didn’tck understanding–he just couldn’t let go of his fantasy of how things used to be.
As for Bailey, the fact that she chose to study in the Southern Continent didn’t surprise me. In fact, it made perfect sense. Wasn’t the mysterious figure behind her and Aurelia’s rise a Southern Continent werewolf?
Perfect. I’d love to see who exactly she’s going to find over there.
Three monthster, the MAC–39 healing serum I had led development on was a sess–and officially went into mass production. It had started as my grad school entrance project, and with my advisor’s help, we’d spent thest three months refining the form and eliminating the side effects.

As soon as the serumunched, it became a sensation in the Northern Continent. Every northern werewolf who tried it praised it. It was especially effective for werewolves who hadn’t yet awakened their wolves. And that sess? It dealt a heavy blow to the Southern medical market.
I heard southern werewolves were furious. Many of them started investigating who the hell had created the serum. One of them even put a bounty on Mateo’s desk–offering a million just to find out who the developer was. That price was higher than most wanted criminals. who’d murdered entire families and stolen all their money.
Thankfully, the professors at school ced my identity under top–level protection. In their eyes, I was just an omega without a wolf–someone with zero means of defending herself.
But I wasn’t happy. Because Alpha Henry’s condition was getting worse.
Even though research on the Kajit virus was progressing steadily, and I’d been prolonging Alpha Henry’s life little by little, his body was still deteriorating. Alpha Henry didn’t have my unique physiology. Every extra day he lived was a battle against death. The fact that he was still walking around at all was already a miracle.
Inside the Miguel family’s virologyb, one of the top medical researchers working with me on the Kajit virus furrowed his brow and brought up ourtest hurdle.
“Ms. Mary, our research is on the right track. We’ve made progress using your blood, but we’ve hit a wall. Without a living infected subject, it’ll be nearly impossible to move forward.”
I knew that already. But bringing a virus–infected person back to Shadowmoon Pack was nearly impossible. And even if we could, I didn’t have the ability to keep another person alive like I did with Alpha Henry. That kind of effort would drain my body to a dangerous level- not worth the cost.
“My thoughts are this…”
I pointed to the map on the wall. Based on intel Mateo had just passed me, Ulrich had recently begun poisoning remote northern packs–testing the Lupine virus in the field.
“From what I hear, wolves in the me Pack, near the rainforest region, are already showing symptoms. Bringing them here would be way too risky, so I think… we go to them. We collect samples on–site and conduct live research in the field.
