Chapter 256
Third Person POV
“I… what did I do wrong?” Aubrey whispered in her dream.
She only had a gift for medicine–yet Bailey exploited her, drained her dry.
She was betrothed to Alpha Henry–and Mariana envied and framed her.

She refused to sacrifice herself just to prolong someone else’s life—and so she was hunted down.
She only wanted to run–but still ended up captured, reduced to a voiceless experimental subject…
Her whole life had been spent fleeing from one nightmare to the next. And yet the nightmare never ended. Countless times, she had begged in her heart–if only someone would just reach out a hand.
She didn’t ask to be treasured, didn’t ask to be loved above all else. She only wanted someone to pull her up, to give her a moment to breathe.
The fragmented words from her lips made Alpha Henry clutch her hand even tighter.
“Aubrey! You didn’t do anything wrong, it was everyone else! Please, wake up! I’ll treat you well, I’ll treat you well for the rest of my life, I’ll never be good to anyone but you!”
Suddenly, Aubrey’s eyes opened. Her pupils shrank, and deep within them lingered the tremor of her dream.
Alpha Henry’s anxious voice still rang in her ears, but strangely, he felt so far away.
She knew he looked desperate. She knew she should respond, should give him a reassuring smile. But she couldn’t.
Instead, she felt the faintest trace of annoyance…
And Alpha Henry froze at her sudden cold gaze. A heavy pang struck his chest. Even with their fingers laced tightly together, he felt as though Aubrey was far, far away. So far that a terrible doubt crept in–did Aubrey really love him the way he believed she did?
“Thank goodness! You finally woke up!” Professor Ginnie exhaled a long breath of relief. “Any longer, I thought my own heart was going to stop…”
The only female wolf doctor burst into tears. “You’ve suffered so much… it’s enough that you’re

awake… as long as you’re awake!”

Aubrey came fully back to herself then. She shifted her gaze away, scanning the room before speaking hoarsely, “Not only am I awake, I also have good news.”
Her voice was rough, but her eyes were clear again as she concentrated on what she sensed.
“Yes… this is it. The injection was a combination of formulas One, Four, and Nine, wasn’t it? The dosage and proportions still need adjusting, but this is the right path!”
At her words, Xavier’s eyes lit up with sudden joy.
“You mean to say…”
“ ”
Aubrey gave a faint nod. “Yes. Just what you think. I believe the second stage is close to completion!”
The moment the words left her mouth, the researchers erupted in cheers.
The suffering hadn’t been theirs, but watching Aubrey writhe in pain had been torment enough. For weeks, the lab had been filled with suffocating gloom. Now, finally, they felt as if they’d broken through the darkest stretch.
“We need to celebrate! After more than a month, maybe now we can finally sleep in peace…”
So many of them had dreamed of Aubrey’s muffled cries, her stifled screams echoing in their ears. It had been torment of both body and spirit.
But Alpha Henry could not share their joy. He stared down at his empty hands. Since the moment Aubrey had woken, she hadn’t given him so much as a glance.
He quickly tried to reason with himself. Perhaps he was overreacting. Perhaps she had simply been in a rush to share the news. He shouldn’t be so sensitive.
After taking a few pills, Aubrey immediately threw herself into rapid discussions with the wolf doctors, not sparing a moment for rest.
It would still take time before the second stage was fully conquered. And even once it succeeded, they couldn’t announce it to the outside world. Not every werewolf had Aubrey’s endurance. Others might die in agony rather than survive the treatment.
The research had to continue.
By the time they finally wound down their work, it was well past one in the morning. Only then did the group notice that Alpha Henry had been waiting silently at the side the entire time.
And a strange realization hit them–during those long hours, Miss Shang hadn’t spoken a single
