“Take them back, we’ll deal with itter.” Mateo sounded utterly disinterested.

One of his men lowered his voice. “Alpha, even if Ulrich survives this time, he’s most likely infected with the virus. He’s no longer a threat. Once we return, we can collect the bounty…” Some bounties wanted Ulrich’s head, others only required him crippled.
He hesitated, then added, “But today’smotion was too big. Word about the treasure will definitely get out. Alpha, since we already got what we came for, why don’t we leave first? If me Pack’s alpha finds out, he’lle after us for sure…
“Alpha, we’re not like Shadowmoon Pack, with wealth and power to spare. It’s taken us so much just to find stability–we can’t get dragged into this mess.”
Mateo hesitated briefly before a bitter smile curved his lips.
“Fine. We’ll leave. Let Henry clean up this disaster himself.”
Staying would only be an eyesore anyway. Better not to see it at all. Still… had he imagined it? Aubrey’s wounds seemed to have healedpletely. He could’ve sworn he felt her blood all over his hands, but when he carried her out, she had only been asleep from exhaustion, without a single open wound left.
Mateo felt like he had stumbled upon Aubrey’s secret. But he didn’t want to dig deeper, and he certainly had no intention of telling Henry.
When Aubrey woke up, several days had passed. Outside the window, the fiery red sun was sinking lower, the skyline marked by the buildings of me Pack’s Sineville Town.
“You’re awake?”
Alpha Henry’s voice carried relief, but the moment she looked at him, it twisted into anger.
“Good. Since you’re awake, tell me this–why didn’t you tell me what you were nning? Why would you take on something so dangerous alone?!”
His questions came one after another, crashing down like thunder. Aubrey clutched the nket, blinking up at him with dazed eyes. Her dazzling gaze shimmered like crushed diamonds, and without her usual sharp edge, she looked pure, wless, and impossibly soft. Just one look could melt a man’s heart.
Henry’s voice dropped unconsciously, losing its force.

“Are you feeling unwell?”

He frowned, sat down by the bed, and pressed his palm to her forehead. “Headache? Any pain?”
When she only stared back silently, Henry rose and poured her a ss of water. Aubrey obediently drank, showing no sign of difort.
Relief loosened Henry’s chest.
Noticing it, Aubrey let out a lightugh. “You’re really worried about me, huh? Not angry anymore?”
“I’m not.” Henry’s striking features were tense, his voice gruff. “I was only worried you’d die, and then no one would be around to keep me alive.”
But under Aubrey’s amused, unreadable gaze, that excuse carried no weight at all.
Finally, Henry let out a resigned sigh. “Fine. I’m not angry. More than anger, I’m… worried about you. I was scared something would happen.”
His words made Aubrey’s heart quiver, an unfamiliar emotion rising within her. In her mind, E squealed with delight, “Oh, I love his honesty!”
Aubrey pressed her lips together, then chose to avoid his burning gaze. Turning her head away, she asked quietly, “Did you catch Ulrich?”
At the mention of business, Henry’s expression hardened.
“No. He disappeared.”
“Disappeared?” Aubrey’s eyes widened. With so many people surrounding him, he had managed to escape?
“Yes” Henry nodded grimly. “Cam checked. After the explosion, several cracks split open in the cavern walls, Behind them were naturally formed tunnels. Ulrich must have slipped through. Cam did find blood, though. Tests confirmed it was Ulrich’s–and more importantly, he’s already infected with the virus.”
