Aubrey had always been the type to act first, keeping her silence until results spoke for themselves and stunned everyone. This was the first time she revealed her ambition before finishing what she set out to do.
Realizing she wasn’t lying, alpha Henry’s heart jolted in shock. His pulse thundered as he asked, uncertainly,
“Then how long do you think you’ll need?”
Aubrey cast him a sidelong nce. “If you can stay calm, eat on time, sleep on time, take your medicine as prescribed, and stop making me worry or distracting me… then about three more months.”
Henry’s face flushed crimson. He was an alpha, older than Aubrey by four or five could he be the one needing care?
years–how
But still… that strange sweetness in his chest–what was it? She worried for him. She hade here just to say this, just to ease his heart.
Still, was he really that unreliable?
No matter what, with Aubrey’s rare reassurance, the gloom that had hung over Henry for days finally lifted. Yet even with her promise, he couldn’t help but ask again.
“You’re really that confident?”
Aubrey nodded without hesitation. She spread her fingers, then clenched them tightly. “The Kajit virus? It’s nothing more than a thorny little toy.”
A bold, almost reckless smile spread across her face, and in that moment it scattered every shadow from Henry’s eyes.
Knowing Aubrey had such confidence–knowing she would not die–it was as if a boulder had been lifted off his chest. Relief washed through him, fierce and overwhelming, like surviving a disaster.
It took him a while to steady his racing heart. Then he held her hand tightly and said with solemn weight,
“This is thest time. From now on, no matter what, you’re never allowed to do something this dangerous again. Promise me.”

His violet eyes trembled, his handsome face taut with sincerity. He waited, almost pleading, for
her answer.
Aubrey thought about it. Once this was over, there wouldn’t be much danger left. So she nodded.
“Of course. I value my life. You can always rest assured–I won’t take risks I can’t control, and I’ll never gamble with my life.”
They shared a smile.
Henry gently pinched her pale cheek, unable to stop himself fromughing. “You’re right. We really are a pair of battered brothers–in–arms.”
But the softness under his fingertips made his heart skip.
He had been too worried before–his thoughts had been consumed with guilt and grief. Now, for the first time, another feeling surged up, sudden and overwhelming.
They were both infected. If they grew closer… then maybe… it wasn’t impossible?
Closer to Aubrey?
The thought was dangerous. It shouldn’t havee at all. Yet it spread like wildfire, leaving his throat dry and his body tense.
Damn it. How could he think of something like this at a time like this? He was no better than a beast.
To cover his thoughts, Henry quickly changed the subject.
“If it’s only a few months, then you should take painkillers. I don’t want you suffering.”
Aubrey shook her head. “Now that I have a faint grasp of the virus’s progression, if anyone needs relief, it’s you. You can take them. My earlier research seeded–soon, we’ll produce a new kind of painkiller. Low side effects, low dependence, but very effective. Think of it as my gift to you. A gift to celebrate your recovery.”
Henry’s lips curved as a sudden sweetness rose inside him. Even in the midst of everything, she had carved out time to develop a safer painkiller–for his sake,
If Aubrey had been a man, Henry thought, she would have been the kind who silently, effortlessly swept people off their feet.
“And you? Will you take it with me?” he asked.
Aubrey shook her head, eyes firm. “I need to keep the pain.”

Sensation was crucial for her to remember every detail of the drug’s effects. Without it, her role as test subject would be meaningless.
“Then I won’t take it either,” Henry said seriously. “If I can’t help you in any other way, the least I can do is share the pain with you.”
