Reborn Omega: Avenge Herself Like an Alpha

Chapter 20 A Strange Omega

Charles‘ POV

It was hard to imagine gentleness and sharpness could exist in the same person.

The girl sitting on the white leather couch had her hair pulled into a high ponytail and wore a gracefully Tailored long dress. Her slender neck arched like a swan’s, elegant and poised. Sunlight filtered through the floor–to–ceiling windows, outlining her silhouette–like a royal noble stepping out of a classical oil painting…. if you ignored the glint in her eyes that was as sharp as a blade.

My wolf, Soren, growled cautiously in the back of my mind. Be careful. This girl is dangerous.

She didn’t stand up when she heard me enter. She just lifted her eyes and glanced over. And I was surprised to find–her eyes were incredibly unusual. It was like tiny stars shimmered in the depths of her pupils, mysterious and breathtakingly beautiful.

Something stirred strangely in my chest. If only her gaze weren’t so cold…

Aubrey looked at me with a knowing expression.

“Sit.”

She smiled. I must’ve looked confused, like I didn’t recognize her, because she started introducing herself.

“I’m Aubrey. Judging by your face, it seems you don’t remember me?”

I was still stunned by her smile before I fully registered what she said. Aubrey–she’s Aubrey? That quiet Omega who always kept her head down, hiding in the shadows? My hand instinctively reached toward the gun at my waist–an officer’s reflex to any sudden unknown.

As Bailey’s cousin and Aurelia’s nephew, of course I had met Aubrey before.
