Frustrated, he shouted, “Do you need me to say I love you too before you’ll come with me?!” He guessed maybe that would convince her to listen.
But the next second, Aubrey’s expression shifted from pitying a fool to looking at him as if he was the fool.
John: …Why does something feel wrong here?
A chill ran down his back. Too late, he wondered–had Justin lied to him? Was the potion useless?
Just then, the sound of boots thundered outside the office.
Thud, thud, thud.
The approaching rhythm made John stiffen. He hadn’t expected them to arrive so quickly.
Moments later, an armed squad of werewolves surrounded the office.
John instinctively stepped in front of Aubrey as several figures in white protective suits stepped forward.
A stern–faced officer announced, “Aubrey, is it? You’ve been reported as a Kajit virus carrier. You are required to submit to immediate blood testing.”
The voice was clipped and harsh, filled with pressure.
John tried to intervene. “There must be a mistake! Tempest Pack wolves attacked us earlier- maybe they brought the Kajit virus in as sabotage.”
The officers frowned.
But Aubrey wasn’t optimistic. Cado hadn’t carried the Kajit virus, so she couldn’t pin this outbreak on him.
She understood John wanted to shield her, but against the alpha King’s authority, who could
protect her?
Besides–she still had a card to play.

The alpha King was alive because she’d been supplying him medicine in secret. If he truly was the mastermind, then at least she had leverage to keep herself alive.
With that thought, Aubrey stepped out from behind John.
Seeing her move, John blurted anxiously, “Aubrey?!”
“It’s fine.” Her face was calm. “I don’t love you, but thank you for caring.”
John’s cheeks flushed red again–this was hardly the time for that.
Turning to the officer, Aubrey said, “No need to test me. I am a Kajit virus carrier.”
“In that case, Ms. Mary, please come with us.”
Aubrey nodded and walked forward.
“Aubrey…”
John instinctively grabbed her arm, but she shook him off. “Don’t worry. When alpha Henry returns, tell him not to worry about me.”
With that, she left with the officers. They put her on a plane bound for King City. According to them, an isolation zone had been built deep in the mountains three hundred kilometers from King City, specifically for containing Kajit virus carriers.
The more than one hundred infected werewolves were also taken away. Xavier and the others had no power to resist–unless they declared rebellion outright and renounced the alpha King’s rule.
When alpha Henry received the call, he nearly smashed his phone. The voice on the other end continued grimly.
“Because of Ms. Mary, the Kajit virus has leaked. Now over a hundred werewolves are infected, and its sudden spread has triggered mass panic!”
“Where is Aubrey?!”
“Ms. Mary was taken by the alpha King’s troops to the isolation zone near King City!”
Over a hundred infected–this was already a catastrophic incident.
At first there had only been one or two cases. They hadn’t recognized it as the Kajit virus, just thought it was an unexplained fever. Those patients had gone to hospitals, where most wolves were weak and poorly treated by incompetent doctors. If the pack’s disease control unit hadn’t

contained it in time, the situation might have spiraled beyond control.
Finished
There had been whispers of Kajit outbreaks before, but they affected only a few major families. Ordinary wolves hardly noticed.
This time was different. The virus had struck ordinary werewolves, and panic spread like wildfire. Crowds massed at the gates of the Miguel family, demanding answers.
Aligator Harbor, where the outbreak began, was immediately locked down. No one could leave. Convoy after convoy of werewolf officers and medical teams poured in.
It was the largest crisis since the founding of Shadowmoon Pack.
