“And you all still dare to look down on her. I’m honestly ashamed for you.”

Alpha Henry looked around. Every werewolf who met his gaze–including Flora–bowed their heads in shame. They all knew just how chaotic and dangerous things were in Stella Pack right now. Any sane werewolf wouldn’t willingly come here.
“Oh, he’s too handsome… I declare I’m officially in love with him. Swooning,” Ella murmured dreamily in my mind.
And 1… I was stunned, staring at alpha Henry.
I’d seen countless horrors on the way here, had several brushes with death, but I managed to survive them all. I never told him any of it, and he never asked. I thought he hadn’t considered it at all.
His face looked a little tired, with dark circles under his eyes. Clearly, he hadn’t rested properly in a long time. But those eyes of his…. they were sharp and unwavering, like a beacon that would never go out.
My heart skipped a beat.
Soon after, Flora and the other she–wolf were escorted away. While they were being dealt with, a few of the werewolf warriors who hadn’t stepped in earlier came over and quietly apologized to me.
I didn’t hold it against them. This world had always been unfair to omegas. That deep–rooted contempt ran through every pack. Changing it wasn’t something that could be done in a day or two. But I believed, one day, every omega with courage and integrity would be respected and treated as equals.
Once everything was settled, everyone went back to their work, leaving just me and alpha Henry in the hallway.
His expression finally softened, and he looked at me. “Aubrey, I heard what you said earlier. You told her you were her cousin–in–law. So, what–you’re admitting you’re my woman now?”
There was a playful smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.
I was speechless. Was this seriously the time and place for this kind of talk?
“Think whatever you want. I’m going to rest.”
“I’ll take you,” alpha Henry said with a chuckle, then led me to his own room. It was just a regular patient room–plain bed, clean floors–but in times like these, it already felt like a luxury.
After a quick wipe–down in the bathroom, I collapsed on the bed. Alpha Henry sat on the edge, watching me. I had no idea what he was thinking.
Being stared at like that, I couldn’t fall asleep even though I was dead tired.
“What are you looking at?”
“I was thinking…” His eyes narrowed. “Why did you insist on coming here? Was it… for me?”
I ducked deeper under the blanket and closed my eyes. I regretted asking the moment the words left my
mouth.

But alpha Henry leaned closer, lowering his voice right by my ear. “Aubrey… did you fall for me again?”
He still smelled of soap and steam, fresh from a shower. I inhaled slowly. The truth was–I didn’t even know how to answer that myself.
Was I here to save lives? That had certainly become my focus after arriving, but what had driven me here in the first place?
“Aubrey… just admit it. You’re into me.”
Alpha Henry’s voice was low and laced with joy. He kicked off his shoes and climbed right onto the bed, pressing down over the covers, pinning me underneath. His eyes locked onto mine at close range.
Ella shrieked excitedly in my head, “Time to turn the tables! Let’s go! I need you to pin him down now!”
