Reborn Omega: Avenge Herself Like an Alpha

Chapter 27 Alpha, This Is What You Owe Me

Aubrey’s POV

Whether it was a calm lake or a raging river if I couldn’t touch the bottom. I was terrified. I almost drowned once. I remember that pain. That helpless, suffocating terror. Water forces its way into your body like it’s alive, flooding your nose, throat, windpipe, lungs. And all you can do is stay awake, watching yourself slowly die.

But when I saw Henry slipping under his eyes closing, body going limp–all of that fear vanished.

Because more than 1 feared death, 1 feared losing him.

“I pushed through that panic to save you. You were already unconscious. You didn’t see how hard I was shaking. I nearly didn’t make it. It was Mariana–she came back with flowers, saw you drowning, and helped me drag you out.”

I started to calm down. But I couldn’t stop the laugh that slipped out. It was too ridiculous. Too cruel. Only now did I know the truth.

“Later, you got sick. I did too. We both had fevers. But there was no medicine in that countryside place, no signal either. Mariana said she was scared of the dark, didn’t dare go alone.”

“It was me. I had a fever, and I still walked ten miles in the pouring rain through the mountains to get you medicine.”

“I barely managed to get to the town, bought the meds, popped one myself, and caught a ride back. I was burning up. The second I handed the bottle to Mariana, I blacked out. When I woke up, I was in the hospital. The driver was the one who took me.”

Back then, we hadn’t awakened our wolves yet. No mind link, no way to call for help.

“Afterward, Mariana told me you were unconscious the whole time and didn’t know what I’d done. She said if you found out, you’d feel guilty. You’d feel awful. So I told her, it’s no big deal. Don’t say anything…”

Another laugh escaped me.
