Voices murmured nearby, but with so few people living in the area, there were just as few lights.
All Aubrey could see were vague shapes passing in front of her–faces blurred and indistinguishable.
She had to get out of here. She needed to leave now.
“You look hurt. Do you want me to help you?”
A sweet female voice broke through the dark. Aubrey instantly recoiled. “Stay away!!”
The blood loss made her head heavier and heavier, her vision clouding. Unable to see clearly, her body radiated killing intent. Her temper frayed, raw and violent.
Startled by Aubrey’s ferocious tone, the girl nearly burst into tears. If Aubrey hadn’t been so close, she might have fled outright.
The bystanders who had only been watching backed away under the weight of Aubrey’s oppressive aura, no longer daring to approach.
That was fine. They should keep their distance. She was dangerous.
Blood trailed behind her without her knowing. She thought she’d managed to bind the wound, but she hadn’t.
And Cado was already following the blood.
He wasn’t called a survivor of the battlefield for nothing. Even with a dozen werewolves hunting him, he still forced his way here, driven by sheer bloodlust.
Drenched in blood, he terrified the onlookers. They shrieked and scattered, giving him wide berth.
He had underestimated Aubrey and Hudson earlier, and it had cost him dearly. That only fueled the beast inside him. He would capture that damned omega and tear her apart before Alpha Henry’s very eyes.
In the shadowed alley, Cado flared his nostrils. The cloying sweetness of blood mingled with his own iron stench. This scent was prey.
Many searched for him outside, but at last, he had found her.
His boots slapped against the stone street–tap, tap. Soaked through, wounds crudely bound, he

A dead end. That surprised Cado. Instinct told him it was a foolish mistake on Aubrey’s part. Yet after what he had seen at the fishing grounds, he couldn’t apply Tempest Pack’s notion that “females have no mind” to her.
He knew she must be weak from blood loss, but still his muscles bulged, ready to shift and rip her to pieces.
Step by step he closed in, until at last he found her huddled in a sealed corner.
Aubrey sat on the ground, her head resting against the wall, her posture slack, defenseless.
A dim yellow lamp hung overhead, but with her head bowed, Cado couldn’t see her face. The silence was absolute–he couldn’t even hear her breathing.
His heartbeat quickened. Narrowing his eyes, he ordered, “Stand up.”
Aubrey didn’t move.
His fangs glinted as he snapped coldly, “You think I’ll be fooled again? Stand up!”
Still, Aubrey stayed motionless.
He squinted. Had she passed out from blood loss?
His massive body drew tight. He crept forward, hand stretching out carefully toward her-
Suddenly! A wolf’s shadow burst forth. Chapters first released on
A massive gray–black wolf lunged and sank its fangs into Cado’s throat.
In less than two seconds, Cado’s life was gone. Even in death, he couldn’t comprehend where that wolf had come from.
When Cado stopped struggling, Aubrey’s strength gave out. She shifted back into human form and collapsed onto the ground.
Her shoulder throbbed with searing pain–but she was smiling.
