“Does it really have to be her? Are the rest of you dead?!”

Alpha Henry’s rage was enough to set the entireboratory ame. His violet eyes burned into the wolf doctors as he demanded, word by word, “Without her, are you all useless? Because she’s the one in pain, you stand here doing nothing? Adding fuel to it instead?”
The wolf doctors all shifted uneasily. He wasn’t wrong. When it came to conquering the Kajit virus, all of thembined were less useful than a single omega–Aubrey.
She was the one testing the drugs. She was the one guiding their improvements.
In front of her, their skills as beta wolf doctors looked like the fumbling of newborns. Their contributions were pitifully small.
“Enough… don’t… scold them…”
No one had noticed when Aubrey opened her eyes. She looked surprisingly steady, the pain having ebbed away.
“Record this–KA2 mixed with SQ3 had a clear effect. I could feel the virus retreat rapidly. No adverse reactions either…”
She spoke in intervals, pausing to catch her breath. By the time she finished, the sky outside had already gone dark.
“That’s enough for today. Let’s stop here and rest…‘
Relief washed over the wolf doctors. Being red at by Alpha Henry while conducting experiments felt more terrifying than standing on a scaffold awaiting punishment.
Seeing his expression still hard and dangerous, Aubrey shook her head.

“Keep looking at them like that, and I’ll put you on theb’s cklist. You won’t be allowed in.”
“And then what? You’ll suffer where I can’t see you?” Henry frowned, ring at her. But when his eyes caught her pale face, his defiance melted away. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her back.
After feeding her, he set Aubrey carefully into a warm bath where medicinal liquid had already been prepared. She let out a contented sigh as the heat soothed her aching body.
In truth,pared to herst life, these days were almost a luxury.
Back then, as nothing more than an experiment subject, she had no rights, no rest. Those maniacs never cared about her suffering–they- experimented on her without end. Only when she was on the brink of death would they give her the smallest reprieve.
A bath? Impossible. Comfort? Unthinkable. And certainly no one waiting beside her with warmth and care, offering a steady embrace whenever she needed it.
Henry watched her rx, silently marveling at her strength. ording to Xavier, the agony after each injection was enough to break the human threshold. Yet Aubrey endured it all. She didn’t lose her mind, didn’t break down, didn’t scar herself. Instead, when it was over, she calmly described every sensation with clinical precision.
It was beyond human.
Before meeting her, no one would have believed an omega without a wolf could endure such torment. Aubrey had overturned every assumption they
held.
“Help me wipe my back?” Aubrey asked suddenly.
Since Henry had already volunteered to care for her, she made no effort to be polite.

What was it like for a top alpha to wash someone’s back?

Surreal. Even if his technique was clumsy, his status alone made the act feel extraordinary. Aubrey never imagined she would enjoy such treatment in this lifetime.
She let out a pleased sigh, resting against the edge of the tub, nearly drifting to sleep.
Seeing her settle down, Henry rxed as well. He was always afraid she’d suddenly decide to run back to theb, sacrificing her nights to endless work. When Aubrey set her mind to something, her focus was frightening.
The warm medicinal water flowed down her back, the surface darkened by herbs so nothing beneath could be seen. Still, Henry knew better. He had been the one to undress her before lowering her in.
After finishing her back, Henry hesitated. Should he…? Aubrey seemed asleep. Maybe he could-
“Help me wipe the front too.”
Her voice was soft, cool, carrying a trace of amusement.
Henry’s ears flushed scarlet.
