Reborn Omegab: /bbAvenge /bHarsell Like an Alphia

bChapter /b85 The Boy in the Garden

Henry’s bPOV /b

“What’s going on between you two?”

She’d been avoiding me like I was the gue. Was it because of Mateo? Had she fallen for that bscheming /bbastard?

I stared at her face, trying to read her expression, until she sighed and said, “I’m going to btreat /bbhis /bbyounger /bbrother. Alpha, could you please drive faster? I told him I’d be there by ten, and it’s already nineb./bb” /b

Oh. Just a medical visit. I let out a breath, but that didn’t mean I let my guard down. The way Mateo looked at her? Way too suspicious.

Even so, I started the car right away and drove toward the outer edge of Shadowmoon Pack. Alpha Mateo’s estate wasn’t inside the pack. He had his own territory–independent, unregted, crawling with roguesb. /bThe kind of ce that could get you killed.

If I hadn’t shown up, she would’ve gone there alone? An omega? Damn that Mateo. How could he be bso /bcareless with her safety?

As we approached the border, I frowned. “Next time you go somewhere like this, you tell me.b” /b

Aubrey’s POV

Tell him?

I turned my head to give alpha Henry a mocking look. “What, Alpha, are you nning to follow me around and be my full–time bodyguard?”

“If you need one.” He didn’t even blink.

What the hell.

All my sarcasm got stuck in my throat. If E were here, she’d be swearing right alongside me. If the wolves in Shadowmoon Pack found out their alpha wanted to be an omega’s bodyguard, they’d riot.

I turned–away and refused to say another word. Alpha Henry had changed so drastically, I didn’t know how to deal with it anymore.

Fifty minutester, we arrived at Alpha Mateo’s estate.

It wasn’t anything like I expected. I’d thought he’d live somewhere dark and damp, full of stone and shadow, but instead–lush forest surrounded rolling fields, and sunlight streamed through wooden trellises, dappled across the paths. It looked like something out of a storybook.

It didn’t match Mateo’s cold and guarded personality at all.

I froze for a moment, stunned by the unexpected beauty. Then I quickly got out of the car and let ou breath of relief. At least I was done being stuck in a sealed box with alpha Henry. That had been nerv、 wracking.

Mateo was already waiting for us. He came over the moment he saw me, but when alpha Henry bstepped /bbout /bbehind me, his expression tightened.

bMateo’s /bface immediately shifted–polite, distant, unreadable. “In the bback /bgarden. Ms. Aubrey, Alpha bHenry/bb, /bthis bway /bplease.”

I nodded and walked ahead of them.

In my past life, I’d treated his brother once before. This time, I knew I could handle it even betterb. /bbBut /bconsidering what Mateo did to mest time, if I didn’t do something to make him pay for bthat/bb, /bbI’d /bbbe /bbletting /bmyself down.

The path inside bwas /bquiet. We didn’t see a single servant. It felt more like a dream than reality.

At the very end of the trail, behindyers of blooming flowers, a boy sat beneath a vine–covered barchway/bbi, /i/bsketching quietly. He was so focused he didn’t even notice we were there.

The scene looked surreal. In myst life, I’d never visited this estate. Back then, Bailey had forced me bto /btreat Mateo’s brother, and by the time Mateo brought me in, Leon was already unconscious and bedridden. I’d never seen him like this–alive, healthy, almost magical.

“That’s Leon?” alpha Henry asked.

Mateo gave a tight nod. Even just saying the name made it clear how much the Zach family expected from this boy.

I pressed my lips together. “You two need to leave. Too many people distract me while I’m working.”
