“Hm?” Aubrey looked at him in surprise.

Jax frowned. “Maybe it’s not just a feeling. The other day, while I was away on business, I was nearly caught by rogues roaming outside. Yesterday in the pack house, I tripped and almost smashed my head against a sharp rock covered in wolfsbane. And just now–just now when I left the house–my brakes failed! I only made it back by running on four legs after the car ran out of gas.”

As she listened, Aubrey’s expression shifted from calm to grave.

One incident might be chance. Two could still be coincidence. But strung together like this–it was exactly as Jax feared. Someone wanted him dead.

And Jax was hardly important enough to provoke such enemies. If someone targeted him, it was likely only because of her.

When Aubrey remained silent, Jax gave a bitter smile. “I haven’t offended anyone. Whoever it is, they’re not really after me. I just don’t see… what difference my death would make to you.”

Aubrey narrowed her eyes in thought, then decided firmly. “I’ll have Alpha Henry assign two betas to protect you. For now, don’t go anywhere except the company.”

When Jax left, Aubrey had already linked minds with Alpha Henry. He dispatched Pang One and Pang Two to watch over Jax around the clock.

With that settled, Aubrey turned to head back toward the lab–only for the beta butler to enter, hesitating.

“Ms. Aubrey, Mariana asks to see you.”

Aubrey blinked. Mariana? What did she want?

She had been so consumed by the virus research that she hadn’t paid attention to outside affairs. But if Mariana had come begging for an audience, Aubrey could already guess–her life

must be in shambles.

That thought cased the darkness that had been weighing on her chest these days. Yes, she had changed her fate.

“Let her in,” Aubrey said. Seeing Mariana’s downfall might be just the medicine she needed.

“Yes, miss.” The butler bowed and left.

Before long, Mariana appeared, dressed in a fluttering white dress. In weather like this, it must have been torture to wear something so thin. And if not for the omega scent clinging to her, she looked much the same as when she had been a beta werewolf. That in itself disappointed Aubrey.

If Mariana knew, she would have exploded with rage.

No change? In just half a year, the flawless reputation I built with such care has been ruined. I’ve fallen from a strong beta into a weak, lowly omega. Once I dreamed of marrying Alpha Henry, and now I’m forced to grovel before a hideous beta werewolf… and you say I haven’t changed?!

Suppressing the fury in her heart, Mariana put on a pitiful expression and gazed at Aubrey. “Aubrey, I’ve come to apologize…”

Aubrey let out a short laugh. “Only now? Don’t you think it’s a little late for that?”

Mariana’s face flushed with embarrassment. “Aubrey, I think… there may have been misunderstandings. I truly came with sincerity…”

She hesitated, then added softly, “And Aubrey… don’t you want to know about your

“Bailey?”

At the mention of the name, Aubrey’s interest stirred. “Go on.”

sister?”

“Aubrey…” Mariana said with wounded eyes, “must we be so distant? These days at home, I’ve been reflecting every day. I really regret it now. Couldn’t you give me another chance, let us be friends again?”

Her pale face and pleading words might once have swayed the old Aubrey. But now…

Aubrey’s gaze was icy. “If you’re not going to speak, get out.”
