Aubrey’s POV
I never thought I’d actually get caught. But not long after I landed, I was surrounded.

Dozens of beta–class werewolves closed in, led by an alpha. And with my thigh injured from a piece of wreckage, I couldn’t escape so easily.
The moment I heard Alpha Henry’s voice through the comm, I realized that damn chicken–head alpha was using me as leverage against him.
Ha. Dream on.
When I stayed silent, the chicken–head alpha jabbed the blade into my wound. I clenched my jaw and didn’t make a sound.
But Alpha Henry clearly understood—I’d been captured.
His voice came through the comm, tight with barely restrained fury. “What do you want?”
“What do I want?” Ulrich’s voice was just as furious. “Thanks to you, I’ve lost everything–my men, my money, my plans! Soon the werewolves of Stella Pack will drive me out, hunt me down! Even if I somehow make it back to the Southern Continent and return to my pack, I’ll have lost all the reputation I fought so hard to build. You destroyed everything! You stripped me of my pride as an alpha! So what do I want?”
His expression twisted darker with every word. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ.net
Finally, he let out a chilling laugh. “I want your supplies. I want you to bring them here yourself. And I want you to wash your neck so I can snap it with my own hands!”
No way in hell. I narrowed my eyes and spoke immediately.
“Alpha Henry, don’t listen to him. Don’t make me look down on you. You’re the alpha of Shadowmoon Pack. There are hundreds of thousands of wolve’s counting on you to lead them. Don’t forget your duty!”
My words enraged Ulrich. He slapped me hard across the face, “Shut up, omega!”
The sharp crack of the slap must’ve been heard through the comm, because Alpha Henry’s shout came instantly.
“Don’t touch her! If you lay another finger on her, I swear I’ll find you and rip out your bones one by one!”
Alpha Henry’s next words came through clenched teeth. “Where are you?”
“I’m at Gold Mountain! You’ve got two hours. If you’re not here in two hours, I’ll kill the omega. And you’re only allowed to bring four people, and four trucks of supplies. Four people. That’s enough, right?”
“It’s enough.”
With that, Ulrich cut the call. He turned to me. “Unbelievable. He’s actually willing to die for you.”
“No, you’re wrong. He’s coming to kill you.”
I stared him down, cold as ice.

“I want to kill him too!” Ella stirred inside me, itching for a fight. I soothed her, keeping her calm. I couldn’t reveal my strength yet. They still thought I was just an omega, so they hadn’t shackled me with silver restraints on my wrists or ankles.
That gave me a window, As long as I waited for the moment their guard slipped, I could break out.
“Just a little longer, Ella. Victory belongs to the wolf who can bide her time.”
I shut my eyes and waited. Ulrich didn’t speak again. He just ordered his men to take cover and prepare for Alpha Henry’s arrival.
A while later, I overheard two guards whispering nearby.
“Gotta admit, that Alpha Henry’s luck is unreal. The alpha sent a whole group of infected wolves after him, and he still didn’t catch it. Now he’s on his way here to save her.”
“I know, right? It’s insane! That virus–our alpha had to hire a black witch just to get it. It’s specifically designed to target northern wolves!”
“Hah, maybe Henry’s mom cheated. What if she hooked up with a southern wolf before she married his dad?”
The two wolves were already veering off–topic, but my heart dropped hard.
Created by a black witch… specifically to target northern wolves…
Could it be… the Kejit virus?
No. That’s impossible. In my past life, the Kejit virus didn’t appear until after the alpha king died. And he’s still alive now.
I pressed my lips together tightly.
Moon Goddess above, please protect Alpha Henry,
