At his words, my gaze dropped, then lifted again to meet his.

I noticed that the deep, almost black violet of his eyes had grown lighter in recent days. Right now, staring into them was like staring into two flawless amethyst gems–so pure and dazzling they could steal your

breath.

Was it because of the Kajit virus? Had it already begun to affect his eyes?

My brows knit together before I caught a fleeting hurt in Alpha Henry’s gaze.

Somehow, I worried he might think I was frowning out of disgust. Acting on impulse, I leaned forward and wrapped my arms around him.

“Alpha Henry, with the way things are between us, a kiss wouldn’t be appropriate. But when you feel restless, I can give you a hug.”

His eyes widened slightly, his body going rigid for a moment.

I glanced up at him. He was impossibly handsome–his refined features tense, gaze turned aside as if holding something back.

I kept my expression neutral, my eyes lowered in quiet composure. But then he asked,

“Do you know?”

“What?” I murmured into his chest.

“After we slept together before, I became interested in you. You took your feelings for me seriously, too. Back then, I wanted to honor our engagement, to go through the mating ceremony and make you my Luna.”

His tone chilled abruptly.

“But then Mariana told me it was all an act you staged, that the drugs were yours. I didn’t believe her at first… but I still investigated. When I found out the medicine really was yours, I was furious–furious with myself for being stupid enough to be deceived by an omega. That’s when my dislike for you deepened.”

I said nothing, only stayed still in his arms, my eyes unfocused, my heart unmoved.

That night between us…. it felt so far away now, as if it belonged to another lifetime. Maybe it had been thrilling, frightening, even exhilarating, but now, all I could recall was the pain. There was no point in talking about it.

Henry went on, “I’m not telling you this to excuse myself, and I’m not asking for forgiveness. I just want you to know—from now on, I’ll believe you. No matter who stands against you, as long as I’m alive, I’ll be on your side.”

As long as he’s alive, he’ll stand by me?

The promise sent the faintest tremor through my heart… but it faded quickly, settling back into calm. Ella, however, sighed in my mind. If only he’d believed you from the start…

Yes. If he’d trusted me from the beginning, there wouldn’t have been so many misunderstandings between

1. us.

Bailey wouldn’t have dared to target me. I wouldn’t have had to hide my fate mate bond. Maybe… maybe we could have been the happiest pair of mates.

But life has no ifs.

When we got home, we went about our usual routine–washing up and going to bed. But because I didn’t respond to his promise, Henry seemed a little downcast.

The next morning, when I woke, I heard he was already exercising.

One complication of the Lupine virus was nerve atrophy, so besides heavy medication, he also had to train his body rigorously. Since falling ill, he was even busier than before. Sean had tried many times to share the load, but Henry always refused.

He wouldn’t allow himself to become useless. Even if he were to die tomorrow, he intended to live boldly today.

And since the creation of the suppressant that held the virus at bay for three hours, Henry went out to work every day–never for more than that time limit.

So far, there had been no incidents. No one knew what their alpha was enduring. He never let a trace of weakness or weariness show.

Watching from behind the door, I saw that his emotions were firmly under control, his poise restored. There was no sign of last night’s vulnerability.

But as I kept looking, I realized… the way he carried himself now was eerily similar to how I’d been in my past life.
