After Henry spoke, he suddenly froze. No–what if he… what if, by some terrible misfortune<b>, </b><b>he </b>really died?
He pressed his lips together and changed his words. “Starting tomorrow, I’ll take wherever you want. Just think of it as keeping mepany.”
you out
“What nonsense are you talking about? In your condition, you can’t just go running around.” Aubrey chuckled softly. “Go to sleep.”
She climbed onto the bed, ready to rest, when suddenly the door was knocked.
Outside, Perry, who was keeping watch, spoke awkwardly through the door. “Alpha… um, Loch’s granddaughter is here.”
Henry didn’t even need to think to know what scheme Loch was ying at.
His face darkened instantly, but Aubrey gave him a light push and whispered with a smile, “We’re still on their territory, and we didn’t bring many people. Don’t go offending them again with just a few words.”
“Then what do you suggest?” Henry asked.
Aubrey shot him a sidelong look. She hadn’t expected him to listen so easily.
“Just make her back off on her own. And don’t let her know I’m here. Right now I’m supposed to be your sister.” They couldn’t tell anyone the truth–that Henry was ill and needed her, a wolf healer, constantly by his side.
At that, Henry snorted and frowned, then turned to the door and said curtly, “Let her in.”
Aubrey slipped quickly into the inner room to hide.
Satia hesitated at the threshold, but once the door opened, she stepped inside.
“What is it?” Henry asked coldly.
Satia’s brows furrowed slightly, her nose twitching faintly. As an alpha wolf, her sense of smell was unusually keen–sharper even than some alphas stronger than herself.
The moment she entered, she caught a trace of a light, elusive fragrance. It didn’te from Henry. That meant another female wolf was in this room.

At this hour, a man and woman together in private–if not for mating, what else could it be<b>? </b>
Sheughed bitterly inside. She’d thought Henry was hopelessly infatuated with that omega, but he had barely been separated from her before finding another? Her mind flicked to all <b>the </b>women who had tried cozying up to him at the banquet. She wondered which lucky one it <b>was </b>this time.
With that thought, her guilt about intruding vanished. Straightening her back, she said clearly, “Alpha Henry, as you can see, I’m here to seduce you.”
Hidden in the inner room, Aubrey blinked in disbelief. Was every me Pack she–wolf this blunt?
Henry’s eyes shed with disgust. “So this is your family’s upbringing? Sneaking into a stranger’s room in the middle of the night to climb into his bed?”
Satia’s face paled, but she still held her chin high. “Let’s not waste words. Alpha Henry, you must know–among all the she–wolves at tonight’s banquet, none is more suited to marry you than me!”
“In terms of family, my grandfather has promised that if you choose me, me Pack will stand firmly with Shadowmoon Pack. We could even help you vie for the throne of Alpha King. You know the current Alpha King has no heirs, and none of the royal males measure up to you. With enough support, you could absolutely be the next Alpha King. As for looks–my skin may not be fair, but my features and figure are hardlycking!”
She spoke the truth. Satia was striking–a beautiful ck woman, her bold features carrying unique charm, her dark skin giving her an exotic allure. In me Pack she was known as the Desert Flower.
But Henry only sneered. He hadn’t been out in half a year, but that didn’t mean he was blind to the state of affairs.
ncing toward where Aubrey hid, he replied tly, “First, though you’re Loch’s only alpha- level granddaughter, your family has always looked down on she–wolves. Your uncles and male kin will never let you seed so easily. To marry you would be asking for trouble. Second, your grandfather is old. His alpha authority no longer holds everyone in check. Some of the smaller packs that once submitted to him are already restless, eager to break away from me Pack. How much of the support you speak of is still real? I doubt it.”
And most important of all, his heart already had a Luna, the one and only choice.
Satia’s face nched. She hadn’t expected Henry to know me Pack’s situation so well.
“If… if you didn’t have to marry me?”
Grinding her teeth, she said suddenly, “I could be your mistress. I’ll give you my support, and

you’ll protect me—help me take my rightful ce as ine Pack’s alpha.”
