Chapter 106 Smoke and Fire

Aubrey’s POV

I almost warned him that Stella Pack was dangerous—but in the end, I held back. Instead, I asked, “Why are you going there?”

Maybe it was a confidential mission. Alpha Henry didn’t give specifics. “Don’t worry,” he said calmnly. Tll be back soon.”

Then his gaze softened. “I just hope… that when I come back, you’ll tell me you’re willing to try being with

me.”

His sharp, commanding eyes now held something rare–expectation. I couldn’t bring myself to say no.

“… We’ll talk when you get back,” I replied, turning my head away to hide the waver in my voice.

But he immediately brightened, as if I’d already said yes. His eyes gleamed with a quiet joy, and even that small mole beneath his left eye looked especially striking.

In this life or the last, I’d never seen Alpha Henry like this.

I sighed.

No matter how coldly I rejected him, no matter how fiercely I resisted, it was like he couldn’t see it at all.

And sometimes… I truly didn’t know how to fight back anymore. When someone pours themselves into you, relentlessly and without hesitation, their warmth begins to melt even the thickest ice.
