Back when she was still a beta, still the admired dance artist Mariana, Bailey had never dared treat her this way.
But now… she bit down hard and forced herself to endure.
“Bailey, we had some connection once. Now my father has offended the Miguel family. If we can’t raise funds in three days, my family will be finished! Bailey, I beg you…‘
“So you came here to borrow money?” Bailey sneered. “Unbelievable. The once lofty Mariana, actually reduced to begging me for money?”
“Bailey…” Humiliation burned Mariana’s face. She gritted her teeth. “Please! At least we share a common enemy, don’t we? Helping me is helping yourself!”
The moment she mentioned a common enemy, Bailey slammed her cup down with a sharp crack. Aubrey’s name was a taboo she would never tolerate.
Bailey would never forget how Aubrey had forced her into this position. She would never forgive that wretch.
“I can help you,” Wan Bailey said suddenly, her tone shifting. She took a breath and flicked her freshly cut bobbed hair, her lips curling in a cold smile.

Aubrey had refused at first, certain she wouldn’t–no matter how unbearable the pain, she would never do that.
Because she had endured worse. She would never be like that useless Ulrich, who had chosen death over suffering.
When the worst passed, Aubrey collapsed weakly into Henry’s arms.
Xavier stepped forward with another syringe, intending to inject the next compound. But Henry’s hand shot out, clamping down on his wrist like steel.
“Wait! Can’t you see she’s at her limit? She needs to rest!”
The severity in Henry’s violet eyes made Xavier flinch, but he forced himself to reply, “Alpha… it’s precisely at moments like this that the drug’s true effects must be tested. Otherwise, everything Ms. Aubrey has endured so far would be wasted…”
Aubrey’s head rested against Henry’s neck, her voice faint but firm. “Let him inject it.”
Her word was final. No matter how unwilling Henry was, he could only relent. With Henry’s murderous glare fixed on him, Xavier’s hands trembled as he administered the injection.

“Aubrey?” Henry’s hands shook as he checked her breathing. Finding it still

“Is there truly no other way? Must you torture her like this just to beat the -virus? Then what use are you to me?!”
Ginnie’s face twisted with helplessness. “Alpha… we have no choice. Behind every success, there must always be sacrifice…”
