I hesitated, uncomfortable with the idea of visiting someone’s home. I’d never had a habit of dropping by uninvited, and being around unfamiliar people always put me a little on edge.
But I had underestimated Tammy’s persistence. In the end, I had no choice but to call Alpha Henry.
“I might be home late tonight,” I told him.
“What happened?” he asked immediately.
“It’s nothing serious,” I replied evenly. “I made a friend and I’m going to her house… to hang out.”
“Friend?” His voice sharpened at that.
“Mm…” I didn’t elaborate.
A paușe, and then, “All right. Have fun. Call me when you’re on your way back and I’ll send someone to pick you up. Perry’s at the school too–I’ll have him follow you.”
“That’s not necessary. Taking people along is over the top. I’ll just have dinner and come back. Don’t worry.”
With that, I hung up.
The moment I stepped into the Birkin household, I felt a prickle along my spine–the Birkins were almost too warm in their welcome. Unlike other werewolf families, they had no swarm of servants—just a home full of harmony and laughter.
Sensing genuine goodwill, I relaxed a little, though nothing in my expression showed it.
We chatted briefly before dinner. Tammy’s older brother and sister weren’t home, so the table was smaller
than it could have been.
Her parents clearly knew I was the alpha’s newly acknowledged sister and that Henry favored me. They treated me with courtesy, but without the cloying flattery I was used to. Nor did they look down on me for being an omega. They treated me… as an equal.
And that was enough.
I understood then why Tammy was the way she was. It’s hard to raise a bad child in a home that warm.
Dinner passed pleasantly.
Because I’m not used to such settings, I excused myself early. I did tell Tammy sincerely that I’d visit again, and I declined the family’s offer to send me home.
Just before I left, Mrs. Birkin smiled and said, “My son’s not here today, but next time I can introduce you. He once wanted to major in medical research—you’d have a lot to talk about.”
Tammy grinned. “Yes, Aubrey! My brother’s super handsome! And he’s great at making money!”
“All right,” I said with a small nod before heading out.
Outside, I exhaled a long breath.

Chapter 173 Dinner at the Birkins
The night sky was scattered with stars, and the faint scent of flowers drifted through the air, making everything feel calm and easy.
I didn’t expect Perry to step out from around the corner.
“Ms. Aubrey, let’s go home. The alpha is waiting in the car.”
Startled, I blurted, “He’s here too?!”

I climbed in to find Alpha Henry indeed seated inside, a stack of documents in his hand. One glance told me they were Birkin family records.
Noticing my gaze, he set the file aside and said seriously, “You’ve just joined the Miguel family, and already people are being this warm to you. I got worried, so I came.”
His words caught me off guard, though my face stayed impassive.
Henry looked at me with a faint smile. Even in the dimness, his features were striking.
I felt as if he could see right through me and quickly changed the subject. “How’s your treatment going?”
I knew there couldn’t be results so soon. Without a living test subject like me, research into the Kajit virus would be slow and difficult.
Henry’s voice deepened. “Pretty good. But you–giving me acupuncture every three days, isn’t that too much? You’re still injured.”
I shook my head. “I’m fine.”
His lips looked a little pale, and I asked quietly, “Does it hurt a lot?”
I remembered clearly–although I was only a latent carrier of the Lupine virus, I couldn’t escape its complications, and I knew exactly what they felt like.
The more you take medicine and undergo treatment, the worse the pain becomes.
Near the end, a simple touch felt like being cut with a knife.
It occurred to me then that I’d never once thought of finding a way to ease Henry’s pain…
