Chapter 40 A Needle to the Heart

Henry’s POV

The moment I said yes, Aubrey smiled faintly–then collapsed.

I caught her just in time. Her body was ice cold.

I immediately summoned the family’s wolf medic. Xavier Holt, an old man in his sixties, was sharp, experienced, and known throughout the region for his skill. He only needed a glance to make his diagnosis.

“Exhaustion–induced syncope,” he said, frowning. “Alpha, this girl hasn’t slept for at least thirty hours.” Thirty hours?

What the hell had she been doing? Or… had those two bastards scared her so badly she didn’t dare fall asleep?

A strange pang of guilt tightened in my chest. She’d just turned eighteen. Still a young Omega without a wolf. No matter how brave she acted, it was only natural she’d be scared after going through something like that.

Maybe… maybe I should treat her better.

I turned away from her unconscious form and began unbuttoning my shirt.

“Also, check this for me. She stuck a needle right here,” I said, pointing to a small red dot on my chest.

Ever since Aubrey had stabbed me with that needle, I’d felt something change–like a wave of clarity had swept through my entire body. All the exhaustion I’d carried from the day vanished in an instant. Even my wolf, Kylar, had growled in surprise, saying he felt sharper, stronger.
