When he saw it was Aubrey standing over him, a flicker of malice crossed his eyes, though he wasn’t entirely surprised. The moment Aubrey had been rescued and brought back to the pack by the alpha, he had felt a bad premonition. That shock quickly vanished, replaced by a carefully crafted mask of anger and innocence.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Kill you? We have no grudge between us. Why would I want you dead?”
Harold tried to feign ignorance, but Aubrey’s wrist sank slightly, the blade digging deeper into the side of his neck, leaving a sharper trace of blood. Her voice was cold as ice. “You don’t know? The Phantom leader spilled everything before he died. He said you were the one who hired them to capture me.”
Harold’s heart jolted violently. The Phantom leader was dead? Impossible! He was an alpha- ranked wolf! Could it be that alpha Henry found out and killed him for Aubrey’s sake? Or perhaps Henry was hiding nearby, watching everything? Otherwise, how could an omega like her slip past guards, unnoticed, and drag him out of his room?
The thought made Harold even more unwilling to admit it. He shook his head quickly. “I really don’t know. I don’t even know this Phantom leader.”
“Is that so.” Aubrey’s lips curved coldly. With a flick of her silver dagger, she sliced off his left pinky finger with precision.
“Ahh!” Harold screamed in agony. Because of the silver blade, the wound burned, searing into him, refusing to heal.
Aubrey didn’t even blink. “Now will you talk?”
“The alpha! I want to see the alpha!” Harold shouted. “This is illegal detention! Illegal torture! You’re breaking Shadowmoon Pack law! I want a lawyer! I want to appeal!”
He yelled louder, eyes darting about as he searched for any trace of alpha Henry.
But there was nothing.
In front of him, there was only Aubrey’s cold, merciless gaze.
“The alpha isn’t here. It’s just me.” Aubrey narrowed her eyes. “Which means even if I kill you here and now, no one will ever know.”

Harold froze. “There’s really no one else?”
Aubrey sneered and nodded.

Harold hesitated for a second, then suddenly grinned, twisted and cruel. His body swelled and shifted, the ropes binding him snapping apart strand by strand.
“Aubrey… you really are insane. A mere omega dares challenge me alone? Did subduing me in human form meant you’d won? How naïve!”

Before his words were finished, he tore free of the restraints.
“You didn’t even take combat classes seriously back at the Academy, did you? To come challenge me, a beta?” His eyes burned with malice as he looked at her, the weak aura of an omega radiating from her. “You should know, I’m not dead yet – just older. Killing an omega like you is as easy as crushing an ant.”
With that, Harold transformed into a massive gray wolf. Though only a beta, under the surge of wild strength his presence was fierce enough to overwhelm any ordinary omega.
His enormous wolf eyes locked on Aubrey, savoring the moment he thought he would see her panic. This content belongs to
But the fear never came. Aubrey simply stepped back half a pace, her short blade still steady in her hand, her expression calm and unshaken as if he weren’t even worth her notice.
“Roar!”
–
That damned omega dared to look down on him! Harold roared furiously, launching himself forward, his massive body whipping up a stench of wind as he lunged for Aubrey.
He expected to see her scream in terror, expected to rip her apart the next second.
But he hit nothing but air.
Aubrey’s figure vanished before his eyes, moving at a speed beyond his comprehension. The next moment, a crushing pressure descended from above a terrifying aura that no omega should possess, an aura that even surpassed an ordinary alpha.

Harold turned his head in horror. Under the moonlight stood a wolf larger than him, its muscular form brimming with raw power, its black–gray fur glowing as if infused with moonlight.
Those icy blue eyes held no trace of omega submission. They burned only with the cold authority of a top predator.
