Chapter 388 Blocked at the Gate
Third–person POV
The new isolation zone near King City had never been so swamped.

After receiving the infected from Shadowmoon Pack in the early hours, the wolf doctors worked nonstop. It took them the entire morning to properly settle every patient.
Fortunately, the antibody Xavier brought was nothing short of miraculous. Compared to the old serum that left only about one percent surviving, his treatment was lifesaving: of the 186 originally infected, 103 were pulled out of infection after injection.
Those who recovered still remained under observation, so the improvement couldn’t be announced yet. Many were still unconscious, and whether the infection would rebound was uncertain. Outside, the chaos continued as before.
Foot traffic moved hurriedly. The isolation zone was under strict martial control–everyone entering or leaving was checked thoroughly. Even alpha Henry’s uncle couldn’t get in without special permission; after all, he was merely a council member of King City.
Aubrey lay on a hospital bed receiving treatment. Xavier and Professor Huang Bowen, together with other isolation–zone doctors, bandaged her wounds.
Originally seven wolf doctors from the Miguel family wanted to enter, but the isolation protocols allowed only one–Xavier–and that was already a special concession.
Aubrey closed her eyes and let them draw blood for testing.
After the blood draw, Professor Huang was excused. Only Xavier remained at her side, monitoring her condition at all times.
Henry had sent Xavier because, beyond excellent medical skill, Xavier was also a formidable fighter–he just hadn’t had reason to fight in some time. With him guarding Aubrey, anyone who tried to cause trouble would pay dearly.
By two in the afternoon, alpha Henry had reached the isolation zone’s perimeter, but his uncle Dylan stopped him.
“You can’t go in!”
Dylan was a councilman, but he dared not cross his powerful nephew–Henry was the Shadowmoon Pack’s alpha, not him.
“I want to see her.”

Henry’s eyes reddened. If it hadn’t been Dylan blocking him, he wouldn’t have paused for a second.
Dylan’s thick brows knitted in panic.
“Do you know what time it is? The entire Shadowmoon Pack is in uproar! Werewolves across the northern and southern continents are watching the Kajit virus leak–everyone’s asking if Shadowmoon Pack is going to become a hotbed for the virus. You’re needed everywhere to steady the situation, and you’ve come here?”
“For the sake of the Miguel family, you should publicly distance yourself from Ms. Mary. Otherwise you’ll stand opposed to the entire werewolf world. Do you understand the consequences?”
“You cannot approach her.”
Henry frowned, unbuttoned two buttons at his collar, exposing his sculpted clavicle and firm chest.
“I’m going in to see her. Move aside.”
His tone made it clear he was willing to use force—and that firmness made cold sweat bead on Dylan’s forehead.
“Henry, this is no small matter. So many people are watching the gate. If you go in, everyone will see. For the Miguel family and for Shadowmoon Pack, you can’t do this!” ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ.net
Henry’s violet eyes narrowed. “If I have her, I can resolve this crisis. I’m taking her away.”
Dylan didn’t believe him.
When Henry attempted to push forward, Dylan gripped his arm in anger and shouted, “Aubrey has become the public enemy! Bringing the Kajit virus back to Shadowmoon Pack for study was one thing–now it turns out she herself is infected! Everything she did before will be attacked. People are calling to burn her alive! And you still want to save her?!”
