Reborn Omega: Avenge Herself Like an Alpha

Chapter 11 Set It on Fire

Jax’s POV

48 Pearls

“I forgot to turn on the alarm tonight. Grandma and Grandpa’s safe has a lot of valuable stuff. I’m afraid someone might steal it.”

That’s how Aubrey explained it. Right after that, my mate urged the driver to hurry. She looked especially anxious, and that made me frown. Even when something happened to Aubrey before, she didn’t seem this worried.

After the car turned around, everyone inside finally quieted down. I couldn’t help but watch my mate’s expression. In the dim light of the car, her tense face actually looked kind of scary. Is she really a good stepmother?

All this time, I thought we were one big happy family. Was that even true?

I thought about what Aubrey said. The more I mulled it over, I realized–at the Alpha’s banquet, Bailey really had been smearing Aubrey the whole time, and my mate joined in, kicking her while she was down…. Thinking about it now, I actually feel kind of creeped out.

If Aubrey hadn’t fought back so aggressively tonight, she probably would’ve been accused of betraying the Alpha. Then the furious werewolf warriors would’ve ripped her throat out on the spot!

Looks like Aubrey didn’t do anything wrong tonight. She just lost her temper in a moment of panic, that’s all.

And… maybe I really have been a little biased.

Aubrey’s POV:

The rain was still falling, but it was getting lighter. The soft, steady drizzle made the car feel even more cramped.

As the car gently bumped along, I focused on the sound of the rain outside the window and gradually calmed down.

It’s been so long. I haven’t heard the sound of rain in so long.

“We’re here, Miss.”

Draco’s voice made me slowly open my eyes.

Bailey quickly said, “Aubrey, even if you’ve got a security system here, it’s still not safe. Why don’t you just take all of Grandpa and Grandma’s things back with us?”
