Chapter 115 Absolute Refusal
Henry’s POV
Aubrey!
I stared at the omega waving at me with a radiant smile, my emotions tangled into a knot.
Why was she here? And at a time like this?
Didn’t Cam say he hadn’t seen her come in?

I immediately gave up chasing the female werewolf and jumped down, shifting back into human form. I demanded, “What the hell are you doing here?! How did you get in? Was it Mateo who sent you?!”
If it was really him, I’d kill him when I got back. Did he have any clue what kind of situation we were in right now?
“That idiot! Plenty of werewolves are trying to escape this place, and he sends an omega in here to die?!”
I turned to look for someone to send her away, but she grabbed my hand.
“I didn’t come here to die, alpha! I can protect myself!” Her eyes locked onto mine, firm and unwavering. “And right now, you need to take me to the Level–Four Virus Research Station. I have important information to deliver.”
“What kind of important information could you possibly have? Don’t be ridiculous, Aubrey.” I frowned and lowered my voice. “Do you have any idea how chaotic Stella Pack is right now? I have a mountain of things to deal with. I can’t be your personal bodyguard. Be good and go back.”
I picked her up and tossed her onto the back of a wolf–shifted warrior, then gave the order, “Get her out of Stella Pack!” The guards had followed me while I was tracking the female wolf.
He growled an acknowledgment and started moving, but after a few steps, he stumbled and collapsed to the ground.
Aubrey rolled off him and got up. “I told you, I’m not going anywhere, alpha Henry. And I don’t need your protection.”
She pointed at the unconscious wolf. “See that? I was the one who knocked those southern wolves out earlier. I can help you”
“You need to understand–I walked here alone, step by step, from the infection source. There’s no wolf doctor who understands T flu better than I do!”
What?! I was stunned.
“You walked here from the edge of Stella Pack? Alone?” I asked in disbelief.
“Yes!” Aubrey nodded firmly.
Goddamn. I felt like I was going to pass out.
“Are you hurt anywhere? Any discomfort? Some wolves have long incubation periods!” I grabbed her by the shoulders and stared into her eyes, like I could see through her if I looked hard enough.

Aubrey shook her head. “I’m fine.” Then she pressed again. “Time’s running out. Take me to the virus lab now! I’ve got several herbs that could be the key to curing T flu!”
I looked at her, unsure what to say. I had to admit–she really did have talent in medicine. Her acupuncture skills were almost supernatural. But this was T flu.
Even the veteran wolf doctors, all in their forties and fifties, came here and felt helpless. They said it could take over a year to make progress, that the best we could do was focus on prevention. And now she arrives claiming she can solve it?
I took a deep breath and gripped her shoulders. “Listen to me. I don’t know why you came here, but…”
“Seeing you… I’m really glad.”

“Seeing you… I’m really glad.”
When alpha Henry said that, a flicker of tenderness crossed his eyes.
In that moment, it felt like the entire world around us faded away, leaving just the two of us.
“But!”
His expression suddenly hardened again.
“This isn’t a playground. People are dying here every single day! I don’t want you getting even a scratch. You’re going back this afternoon. I’ll have a plane arranged immediately!”
Damn it. He still didn’t believe me. I never should’ve come out here!
“I really can help. Just give me a lab-”
“No. First, you’ll go through a full–body examination. If nothing’s wrong, you’ll return to Shadowmoon Pack right away.”
