“Electronic instruments can be tampered with!” Waylon shouted, his voice shrill with certainty. “With enough money, there are always technicians willing to rig them!”
He paused, then his eyes locked onto Aubrey with unsettling intensity.
“And more than that… Before I left the research team, Ms. Aubrey had already begun studying something she called a covering agent. When I left, it wasn’t yet perfected. But now…” His lip curled. “Perhaps she’s succeeded.”
At those words, every gaze in the hall swung toward Aubrey. Her face was calm–so calm it bordered on eerie.
“What is a covering agent?” Nathan demanded.
Waylon steadied his voice, trying to sound authoritative. “Everyone knows the Kajit virus makes a body’s chemistry acidic. That’s how GRB instruments can detect it. Aubrey’s plan was to create a drug that temporarily balances acidity, so test results would appear normal.”
“But does that mean the patient is cured? No!” He spread his hands dramatically. “It just hides the truth. She invented it so Henry could pass under everyone’s noses, while in reality his blood is still infectious!”
Gasps rippled through the crowd. The beta warriors instinctively stepped back, fear flickering in their eyes as they glanced at Henry’s finger—where the wound from the test had already sealed itself.
“I feel itchy–what if I caught it?”
“Moon Goddess, if he’s really infected, then all those wolves… it was him

The whispers rose into frantic murmurs, panic spreading like wildfire.
And Ulrich, watching from the sidelines, allowed himself a smile of triumph.
Nathan, however, was not swept up. His sharp eyes turned first to Aubrey. If Waylon spoke true, then this omega’s skill reached far beyond what he had imagined. And if she could mask the Kajit virus… could she also cure it? Could she save the ailing Alpha King himself?
But his gaze soon shifted back to Henry, narrowing.
“Was it you?” Nathan asked, his tone cutting.
Henry met his stare and shook his head. “It wasn’t me.”
He had guarded against spreading the virus, never stepping outside without protection, injecting suppressant after suppressant without hesitation.
“It was you!” Ulrich’s voice cracked, feverish. He jabbed a finger toward Henry, froth at his lips. “It was you! You worked in secret on this virus— when it leaked, you blamed me! You devil! You care nothing for wolves‘ lives, you’re a monster who would doom us all for your own survival!”
The hall seethed with fear and outrage.
Henry’s mind raced, but every path forward ended in ruin. Every answer was incomplete, every defense flimsy. And beneath it all, the cruel truth remained: he was infected. Aubrey might buy him a reprieve once, twice —but the third time? The fourth? How long could they conceal it?
His jaw tightened, and slowly his eyes shifted toward Aubrey. The sharp violet of his gaze softened, sorrow clouding its depths.

Even if he had to die, he had never meant to drag her down with him. Yet here she stood, bound to him as a conspirator, branded by his affliction.
Worse still, her gift—her ability to prolong life—was now on the verge of exposure. And once it was, the wolves of the continent would never let her
