Chapter 114 The Alpha Hunt
Henry’s POV
My fate mate. That alpha–level female werewolf!

As the chaos spiraled out of control, I immediately ordered my warriors to pull back. Then I noticed—every wolf who had suddenly collapsed was from the enemy side!
Someone was helping us. But who?
Just as confusion settled in, a powerful aura burst forth from the rooftop behind me. The force of it jolted me awake–my fated mate. What the hell was she doing here?!
I whipped my head around and saw a black–and–gray blur flash off the rooftop, streaking toward the enemy like a bolt of lightning, aiming straight for their leader.
I understood her intent instantly.
I tilted my head back and let out a sharp howl, signaling the warriors behind me to cover her!
Aubrey’s POV
All I saw was one target–the red–brown male werewolf being guarded on either side. He wasn’t even an alpha, just a beta, but clearly he was their leader. If I could reach him, I could kill him.
Behind me, wolves clashed in close combat, blood spraying into the air, claws torn apart mid–swipe. But I didn’t look back. I barreled through every wolf that tried to stop me and finally reached the red–brown one.
My alpha aura hit him full force, and he froze with fear. Then he turned to run. Two of his warriors threw themselves at me, buying him time.
He was going to get away–damn it!
Suddenly, a flash of silver–gray leapt through my peripheral vision. He launched off the head of the wolf blocking me, paws raised mid–strike, propelling himself forward.
I narrowed my eyes. A memory surfaced–back when alpha Henry and I weren’t at odds, he once told me about a synchronized kill technique he’d learned. Instinct kicked in, and I moved to match his rhythm.
As he landed, I sprang upward and, just like him, stepped off the skull of a nearby wolf to push myself forward.
My jump was lower than his, and I ended up right beneath him just as he reached the peak of his leap.
Midair, our eyes locked. There was a flicker of surprise in his gaze, but then he didn’t hesitate–he used my back as a launch point and surged forward.
This time, he caught the red–brown wolf.
The overwhelming pressure of Henry’s alpha presence made the wolf falter mid–stride. In the next second, Henry clamped down on his throat and tore it clean open. Blood splattered across his silver–black fur.
A flawless takedown.
And with that, the battle finally came to an end.

The leader’s death shattered the enemy’s morale. The wolves scattered. A few tried to give chase, but Henry stopped them.
While he held them back, I turned and sprinted away–I had no intention of revealing who I was.
A second later, I could feel alpha Henry’s gaze burning into my back. His paws hit the ground, and he started chasing me.
Shit. I dropped low and ran with everything I had, but I still couldn’t shake him.
His pressure was too strong. He’d been trained like an alpha from birth. The distance between us was shrinking fast.
Damn it. If this kept up, he’d catch me.
I had no choice. I ducked into a narrow alley, shifted back into human form, and let Ella cloak my aura.
Just as I finished, Henry’s wolf shot past overhead. His cold, amethyst–tinted gaze glanced downward without thought–then his pupils suddenly contracted. He twisted sharply mid–leap, landing on a rooftop and staring down at me.
His dark purple eyes were filled with shock and fury.
I gave him a sheepish grin and waved. “Hey, alpha. Long time no see.”
