Shane’s pupils constricted violently, the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end. Only now did
he realize a fatal flaw-he had never introduced himself to Aubrey. So how the hell did this Omega
know his name?
Aubrey’s gaze sliced toward the old wolf doctor, who looked more and more uneasy. Her voice was
calm- terrifyingly calm. “You’re saying Leon is beyond saving because his body couldn’t handle the
tonic?”
She let out a cold laugh. “That alone proves you're also part of the problem.”
“You're spouting nonsense!” the old doctor snapped, his voice rising in panic. “You killed someone,
and now you’re trying to blme?!”
“Me? Spouting nonsense?”
Aubrey smiled icily and began to explain, slowly and clearly. “Leon didn’t die from overdose. He
coughed up clotted blood-his body was trying to repair itself and process the medicine. He passed
out because his system was adjusting, not shutting down. But you? You barely examined him for a
few minutes and declared him dead from excess tonic?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe old wolf doctor’s ears twitched unconsciously-a classic sign of guilt.
“You already saw the prescription, didn’t you?” Aubrey continued. “You knew what was coming. When you
walked over, you were already expecting this outcome. You didn’t even complete the most basic diagnostic
check. And Shane? He said he never showed you the prescription-but clearly he did. Which means he lied
too.”
Mateo’s eyes lit up with a sudden spark of hope.
“You're saying... Changsheng’s okay? That he’s... just unconscious?”
“He’s not okay!” the old doctor shouted, jumping to his feet. “His pulse is down to sixty beats a minute and his
pupils are dilated! He's clearly dying! Ms. Aubrey, stop trying to twist things! I've been a doctor for twenty years-
| know the difference between unconscious and dying!”
Aubrey raised an eyebrow and calmly stepped away from Alpha Henry, walking toward him with slow, deliberate
steps. “You sure about that?”
The old doctor thought hard. He hadn't really done a full examination, but the blood, the weak pulse, the
stillness-it all pointed to one conclusion: Leon had been overdosed. He nodded.
“I'm sure!”
“Good,” Aubrey said coldly. “Then I'll make sure you understand exactly how wrong you are.
She stepped up to Leon. Mateo instinctively moved to block her. “What are you doing?”
“Showing you what it looks like when someone rises from the dead.”
Her voice was sharp, her tone unbothered. Mateo’s expression twisted.
“You're really saving him? You weren't trying to hurt him?”

Aubrey shoved his hand away. “If | was trying to kill him, you'd already know. Just watch.”
She waved her hand across Leon's chest, and the four golden needles she'd embedded carlier sprang back into
her fingers.
The moment the last needle was withdrawn, Leon suddenly gasped-drawing in a deep breath. A
visible mist seemed to rise from his body as his throat let out choked, guttural sounds. Then, his
cheeks flushed with color. Not pale pink-healthy red. Redder than anyone had ever seen on his face.
His heart thudded, louder and stronger than it ever had. The potent energy Aubrey had infused into
him was now taking over, not as poison but as fuel-burning through his system and knitting his
fragile organs back together. For the first time, his heartbeat felt alive.
“Hey... Mateo...”
That one word nearly brought Mateo to his knees. He dropped beside the lounge chair, his hands
trembling as he reached out to touch his brother’s cheek.
Warm. Alive.
The relief hit him like a crashing wave, and his throat locked tight with emotion.
Across the garden, Shane and the old wolf doctor both went pale.
This couldn’t be happening. Leon wasn’t supposed to wake up.
Aubrey turned slowly, her eyes cold and sharp as she faced the two trembling men.
“Now,” she said, “let’s settle the score.”
