Chapter 41 A Sister’s Bargain

Aubrey’s POV

It felt like my bones were being torn apart by a pack of wolves. The pain brought me gasping back to consciousness. I curled up on instinct.

Last night’s negotiation with Alpha Henry had pushed me beyond exhaustion. And then, I’d gone and burned through every drop of energy I had using that advanced needle technique. No wonder I blacked out.

I sat up, taking in my surroundings–elegant, somber decor. Definitely Henry’s style.

So I really stayed here overnight….

I glanced toward the curtains. Gray. Not as nice as the forest green ones I once dreamed of. Wait–what was I even thinking? Now wasn’t the time to care about interior design. That was the kind of thing a future Luna might worry about.

I shook the thought away and began doing the special training Grandpa had taught me.

After a full cycle, I felt much better–though Ella still hadn’t returned.

Maybe I should take the antidote regularly, like food?

No. That was dangerous. Medicine always has side effects, I needed to keep training and flush the residual toxins out of my system the right way. Once I did, my wolf would stop flickering in and out like this.

Still, I was surprised Henry actually agreed to the deal. That needle was powerful, sure, but anyone unfamiliar with its true value wouldn’t have understood what I did for him.

But now… now I had a solid fallback before my wolf fully stabilized. I could finally face my enemies without trembling.

After a shower, I changed into the clean clothes the Miguel family had prepared for me and went downstairs.


To my surprise, Alpha Henry was already there. When he saw me, his deep eyes flickered faintly.

I tucked my hair behind my ear and took my seat at the breakfast table.

While eating, I got straight to the point. “Alpha Henry, you remember your promise from last night?”
