Aubrey’s POV
Moonlight filtered in through the narrow gap between the curtains. | stared at my phone screen,
watching Mariana’s apology video. Her amber eyes shimmered with tears, fragile and sincere. The
video had already surpassed ten million views, and the comments were flooded with
sympathy-“poor thing, “she deserves forgiveness.”
In the video, she explained everything: how she had threatened Daria in a moment of weakness but
never followed through. She claimed someone close to her had overheard her, misunderstood her
words, and acted on their own. That person then tricked her into believing Daria had agreed to sell
the dance, and, desperate for fame, she went along with it. But now, she had sent that person to
turn themselves in and felt deeply guilty. She was ashamed of disappointing her fans and had
decided to retire.
Mariana apologized again and again with carefully chosen words. She even said that, no matter
where Daria was or how much he hated her, she was ready to make amends-if he cforward.
The werewolves who had been calling her a monster were starting to soften. Seven went back
to supporting her, saying she was simply led astray by a foolish assistant. Others were practically
lining up to becher new one.
And thanks to her PR team working overtime, the hacked performance was now being spun as part
of a grand conspiracy.
In less than ten days, Mariana had transformed from villain to victim-a misunderstood artist forced
off stage by cruel schemers. Her comeback gwas masterful.
1 couldn’t help but laugh coldly. Compared to Bailey, Mariana clearly knew how to manipulate public
opinion. She didn’t just fight back-she rewrote the story.

That’s when | realized-my phone had been quiet. Too quiet.
Henry used to call constantly, even when he was busy. | always had the choice to answer or ignore
him. But now, he’d been in Stella Pack for ten days... and hadn’t called once.
I pouted and flopped on the bed, restless.
Then-suddenly-my phone rang.
It was Alpha Henry.
This time, | didn’t ignore it.
1 picked up. “Alpha?”
Silence.
| sat up, unsettled, just as a low chuckle cthrough the speaker.
“Did you miss me?”
His voice was husky and soft, and something inrelaxed... even as my brow furrowed again.

“No. Why?” | snapped.
He sighed, as if expecting that. “So heartless... | missed you a little, though.”
His words, quiet and lingering, echoed like a plucked string in my chest. | didn’t respond.
His voice softened further.
“These past few days. | keep thinking about the past. You were right-1 used to be too extreme, You were un kind
to me, and | couldn't see it because | hated you.”
That kind of talk? It didn’t sound like a good sign. | frowned. “Did something happen to you?
“Me? Get hurt?” he scoffed. “Impossible.”
Of course. He was one of the most powerful alphas in the northern continent. What could possibly happen to
him?
| relaxed slightly and cooled my tone. “Then I'm hanging up.
“Wait!” he blurted. “I've been gone this long, and you didn’t missat all? Not even a little?”
| bit my lip, silent.
Outside, a wolf's distant howl echoed, as if in response.
“Don’t lie, Aubrey. | bet you did miss me.”
My lips twitched involuntarily. | pressed them down hard.
“Goodbye.”
“Don’t-"
| hung up before he could finish.
But that smile? | couldn’t wipe it off my face no matter how hard | tried. Even Ella was laughing at
Henry’s POV
Aubrey’s abrupt hang-up irritated me-but it wasn’t unexpected. She always treatedthat way.
still, the fact that she picked up right away?
That was progress.
I chuckled quietly.
Just then, my lieutenant approached, face grim. “Alpha, maybe we should pull out. It’s too
dangerous here.
“That’s exactly why we can’t leave.” | wiped blood from my face and tucked my blood-sta
communicator back into my pack. “Stella Pack is our first defense against the southern w afford to
lose it.”
It wasn’t until | reached Stella Pack that I realized how bad the situation really was.
We can’t

18 Pearl
Their alpha had died from the T-Flu, and his son-only thirteen-hadn’t even awakened his wolf spirit.
The pack was in chaos, torn by internal power struggles and panic.
Worse, southern wolves were circling, probing their borders, waiting for a chance to swallow the
territory whole.
If | left now, Stella Pack would fall-and the entire northern region would lose its front line.
