Henry’s POV
Ambush!
My squad had walked right into a brutal, calculated ambush.
There was no doubt–they were trying to kill me.

Given my position, dying in Stella Pack would be a massive blow to the Northern wolf clans. And on top of that, my team had just cracked the T–Flu virus. Those bastards wanted me dead more than ever.
They sent two elite strike teams, closing in from both flanks. I used the terrain to wear them down, scattering their formations again and again–but this was still the bloodiest battle I’d ever fought.
Finally, under relentless counterattacks, they surrendered. After disarming every last one of them, I wiped the blood off my hands, eyes sharp with fury as I stared down the captured wolves.
“Alpha, we lost forty–seven,” Perry reported, eyes brimming with rage.
We’d been through hell together, but we’d never lost this many. His voice turned cold.
“Alpha, want us to execute them here?”
I gave a slight nod. In this place, anyone who wasn’t with us was the enemy.
But then, a boy–no older than ten–stood up among the prisoners.
Instantly, every wolf around me tensed, eyes glowing red, ready to shift at a moment’s notice. Even a child couldn’t be underestimated in a war zone like this.
“Alpha Henry!” the boy shouted. “Today it’s us–tomorrow it’ll be you! You’re going to lose! That omega wolf doctor of yours? She’ll die too!”
“What did you say?”
As I questioned him, I activated the transmitter to contact Aubrey’s aircraft–but no reply.
“We already intercepted her helicopter!” the boy spat, his eyes twisted with hatred. “That damn omega ruined the Alpha’s plan! She deserves to die!”
“What did you do to her? Where is she?”
My voice dropped to a deadly chill as Flocked eyes with him.
“She’s as good as dead, hahahaha!”
The boy laughed like a lunatic, then without warning, slammed his throat straight down onto a jagged rock. The point pierced through, and he bled out in seconds.
All around, the remaining prisoners howled in unison and then every single one of them committed suicide on the spot,
It was a bloodbath. Flesh and gore everywhere. It looked like hell had broken loose right at our feet.

I stared coldly at the corpses. The boy’s body was closest–right at my feet. That same twisted smile still frozen on his face. The longer I looked at it, the more it sent chills crawling up my spine.
Even Callen, my wolf, was pacing restlessly in my head, overwhelmed by a growing sense of dread.
“Don’t touch them. Burn everything.”
Just to be safe, I ordered my men not to go near the bodies. Instead, they threw torches from a distance and set the corpses ablaze.
Once that was done, I issued my next order.
“Perry, take your unit and finish transporting the supplies. Perry, you’re coming with me.”
Everyone was stunned.
“You can’t, Alpha!” Perry protested. “We need you here–without you, we’re vulnerable!”
“But I’m afraid something’s happened to Aubrey.”
Silence. Complete silence.
All my life, I’ve never feared anything. No matter how brutal the battle, I never hesitated. But now? The second I realized Aubrey had gone dark—I felt true fear for the first time. I was terrified I’d never see her again.
“She came here because of me. I won’t let anything happen to her. You all go on ahead. Once I know she’s safe, I’ll catch up.
An order from me wasn’t up for debate.
A plane was immediately dispatched. As I climbed aboard, I spoke coldly to the pilot.
“Take me to Moro River Forest.”
That was the last known signal location from Aubrey’s helicopter. If anything went wrong, it would’ve been there.
But just then, a violent cough wracked my body, and I suddenly felt burning hot. The heat surged fast, way too fast–and then I coughed up a mouthful of blood.
“Alpha! What’s wrong?!” Perry caught me, panicked.
