Chapter 275 The Vanishing

    Third Person POV

    Aubrey’s voice was calm, almost stripped of emotion.

    But Alpha Henry felt unease rise like a tide in his chest, his heart clenched tight in an invisible grip. The woman before him looked fragile enough to shatter at a touch, and even his breathing grew cautious.

    “What do you mean?” he asked.

    “Like Ulrich. Didn’t we use him for live experiments?”

    Henry pressed his lips together. “Because he was a bad man. He wanted to hurt you…”

    “Right. Comparing myself to Ulrich may be going too far.”

    Aubrey recalled the past, dissecting it with chilling detachment. “You hated her, but you still felt a sliver of responsibility. Not the same as Ulrich, but simr.”

    Henry frowned, confused, but Aubrey didn’t exin further. Her gaze turned sharp, her words cutting cold. “If one day, someone close to you fell sick, and you were told that a person you hated was also infected—and that she was a special case—you’d allow her to be used for research, wouldn’t you?

    But out of that sliver of responsibility, you’d demand the researchers keep her alive. Once the experiment seeded, they’d cure her right away. That way, you’d tell yourself you’d done right by her.

    Maybe they’d even tell you she’d die quickly without the experiments, that bing a test subject was her only chance to survive. And since her suffering would lead to saving someone you loved, well… survival itself would be a gift, wouldn’t it?”

    She stepped closer, eyes locking onto his, her voice dangerously soft.

    “Because you hated her, you wouldn’t bother asking why she was infected. You wouldn’t feel pity or guilt. Not when you could tell yourself she’d die either way. Or perhaps you’d simply turn a blind eye, so others wouldn’t be upset. Isn’t that right?”

    Her reasoning was cruel, but logical. Sacrifice one to save many. Use what could be used. The mindset of those in power.

    And back then, to Alpha Henry, she had been nothing more than an irritating omega. If sacrificing her could save his beloved Mariana–and with her, the entire northern continent of werewolves–of course he would have chosen to sacrifice her.

    It all made sense now. This was the Miguel family’s ancestralnd. Here, researchers had studied the Lupine virus in secret, carrying out live experiments. How could the alpha not have known?

    “I should have realized it sooner… Who else but you…”

    Aubrey’s gaze swept the idyllic grounds, the fortress–like building rising amid the flowers. Cold mockery filled her eyes.

    “Who else would have the power to build such a ce and keep it hidden? I should have known.”

    “Aubrey?”

    By the time Henry reached for her, it was already toote. Aubrey tore herself from his sight in a sh. That resolute back left him with a sudden, crushing sense of loss.

    Why? Was it the house? This ce? The fields of flowers? Why was Aubrey unraveling so suddenly, spiraling into madness before his eyes?

    He tried to follow, but his bones suddenly twisted out of ce. Pain ripped through him, sending him crashing to the ground. The cursed virus again!

    By the time his body reset and he staggered after her, only Perry and the guards were at the

    cars.

    “Where is Aubrey?” Henry demanded.

    “Ms. Mary just drove off. She said she had urgent business to handle,” Perry replied, baffled.

    “Track that car. Now!” Henry ordered.

    “Yes.” Perry moved at once.

    Within minutes, they had a location. But when Henry and his men arrived, they found only a vehicle abandoned by the roadside.

    The driver’s seat was empty. Aubrey was gone.

    Chapter 276 The Pack in Turmoil

    Third Person POV

    Aubrey’s disappearance threw the entire Shadowmoon Pack into chaos.

    Alpha Henry searched like a man possessed. In just a few days, the entire pack’s territory was turned upside down.

    “Henry, what on earth is going on? How could Aubrey just vanish like that?!”

    Adelyn was frantic. To her, Aubrey was like a daughter, cherished beyond measure.

    Henry was on the phone, bloodshot eyes zing, voice sharp with fury.

    “She disappeared there, how could you not find her? If she’s not there, expand the search! Keep looking until you do!”

    Snapping the call closed, Henry turned to Adelyn, shaking his head helplessly. “I don’t know…”

    Adelyn thought for a moment. “I’ll call Jax. Maybe he knows something.”

    But Aubrey hadn’t gone to Jax either. When he arrived, his face was as stricken as theirs.

    “What happened? How could Aubrey suddenly be gone?!”

    Adelyn’s expression twisted with worry. “We don’t know either. Henry tried to give Aubrey a gift, but the moment she saw it, she lost control and ran…”

    Hearing this, Henry’s expression darkened further. No matter how he turned it over in his mind, he couldn’t understand why that ce had triggered her. It was Miguel familynd–his grandfather’s estate–sealed off from the world. Aubrey had never been there before.

    “So what now? She hasn’te to me either. You know her emotions were always fragile…” Jax paced like a caged animal. Then, suddenly, he froze, as though struck by a thought.

    “Wait! Aubrey has a psychological disorder!”

    “A psychological disorder?”

    Henry’s sharp gaze cut to him, so piercing that Jax faltered, his mind going nk. It took him a long moment to gather his thoughts.

    “Yes… yes, something in her mind isn’t right,” he stammered. “She was fine before, but about a year and a half ago–remember when the Miguel family hosted that small banquet? The night you had her examined to prove her purity? From that day on, she changed. Before, she was

    obedient and gentle. But after that night–after those two people… I think they must have frightened her–her temperamentpletely shifted.”

    “Why didn’t you say something sooner?!” Adelyn cried, her heart aching. To think that Aubrey had suffered all this time, and she hadn’t even known!

    “I thought I did…” Jax frowned uncertainly. “Butter, she seemed… normal enough. We just grew used to her new personality. Still, maybe something this time triggered her again…”

    Henry forced himself to calm, his eyes lowering in thought. He couldn’t make sense of it. The words Aubrey had left behind were strange, almost as if she had lived through something he knew nothing about.

    Ande to think of it, he had felt this before–the sense that Aubrey carried secrets she never shared. He had respected her privacy, never pressing. But now, those secrets had exploded out.

    “Whether it’s a psychological disorder or something else,” Henry said atst, voice rough with exhaustion, “all I care about is finding her.”

    He rubbed his brow, drained. “Mother, contact the best psychological healer you can find.” “Yes…” Adelyn’s face was lined with worry. Thinking of how Aubrey must have been suffering all this time–yet still managed everything for Henry with such care–made her chest ache. Aubrey had given them everything, while they had failed her, noticing her pain far toote.

    Soon, word spread across the Shadowmoon Pack. The Miguel family sent out notice: whoever could provide information on Aubrey’s whereabouts could name any price they wished.
