It was only natural for the bond to weaken.
The sibling contract and the mate link could not coexist.

Perhaps before long, the mate bond between her and Alpha Henry would vanishpletely.
Aubrey pressed her lips together, her gaze flicking over to the rigid figure of Alpha Henry. Then she turned to Adelyn and said slowly, “I don’t agree.”
Adelyn froze, but before she could speak, Alpha Henry turned his head sharply toward Aubrey. “I have to go.”
Aubrey frowned. “Alpha Henry, I saved your life, but not so you could throw it away on a reckless gamble like that.”
“I’ll wait until the Kajit virus antidote isplete. It won’t be dangerous then.”
“Even if you’re at your peak again, that doesn’t mean you’ll make it through the Moon Goddess’s origin ce alive! No werewolf has ever returned from there!” Aubrey’s voice was cold. “Alpha Henry, you’re the alpha of the Shadowmoon Pack, the supreme leader of the northern werewolf continent. You can’t afford to act willfully.”
His eyes darkened as he studied Aubrey, as if trying to determine whether she opposed him out of concern for his safety–or because she no longer wished for their bond to exist.
After a long silence, he finally said quietly, “Alright. I understand.”
Adelyn was stunned. But after exchanging a nce with Sean, she held her tongue.
Dinner passed in uneasy silence.
When it ended, Alpha Henry rose first, his expression still clouded, and left for his room.
Aubrey soon followed, excusing herself to Adelyn before leaving the dining hall. Behind her, Adelyn and Sean seemed to be whispering about something, but she didn’t listen.
Instead of returning to her room, she wandered into the small garden. The round moon cast its silvery glow across the flowers, the air filled with a faint fragrance that slowly calmed her
restless mood.
“Do
you really think the alpha gave up just because you told him to?” E’s voice piped up suddenly in her mind.

“I doubt it,” Aubrey sighed inwardly. Alpha Henry wasn’t the kind to surrender so easily. He probably only pretended to agree because he didn’t want to argue with her while she was still enduring the drug trials.
The thought gave her a headache. Maybe she needed to find a witch, to see if there was any potion that could sever a contract unterally.
Tch. That would be nearly impossible to find.
Aubrey clicked her tongue in frustration. Men were nothing but trouble. He had been the one to insist she be his sister back then, and now he was the one desperately trying to undo the sibling bond… But she definitely couldn’t ask Cam for help. He was too busy, and he’d tell Alpha Henry everything.
Not far away, Perry watched Aubrey’s figure, his brow furrowing deeply. Earlier, when he heard the first stage of the antidote had seeded, he’de by intending to ask about that mysterious potion. But when he ran into the alpha, Henry’s expression had been grim. Not wanting to risk his temper, Perry decided to find Aubrey instead. Yet she too seemed weighed down with worry.
His heart sank. If the first stage of the antidote had worked, then their troubles couldn’t be about that. Which meant the test results must have shown the potion to be useless… That was only to be expected. How could a hunted, pitiful little omega possibly have something as miraculous as that?
Deciding not to press Aubrey, Perry turned back toward the virus research institute. If the potion was worthless, then he might as well ask for it back–keep it as a souvenir.
With that in mind, he went straight to Xavier and said, “Sir, that drug I gave youst time— since you tested it and found it useless, give it back to me.”
Xavier blinked, lifting his head from a clutter of test tubes with a bewildered look. “What drug? Which one?”
