NovelOnlineChapter 277 The Call
Third Person POV
In a small apartment, Charles handed Aubrey a bottle of water, his expression conflicted.
“You really don’t want to go back?”

He had found her by chance, standing blankly by the river. Something about her had seemed off, so
he had brought her home.
Aubrey hadn’t objected. Once inside, she had gone straight to sleep-and hadn’t woken for a full day
and night. Charles knew Alpha Henry’s men were searching for her, but... for reasons buried deep
inside him, he hadn’t taken her back.
After his shower, damp strands of hair clung to his forehead. He was no longer the boy he had been
a year ago-his features had sharpened, his presence grown steadier. Experience had tempered him,
giving him a quiet maturity that made him someone reliable.
“The alpha is looking for you,” Charles said frankly, bottle in-hand. “To be precise, the entire
Shadowmoon Pack is being turned upside down.”
Even his grandfather had instructed him to keep an eye out for her during missions.
But Aubrey only narrowed her eyes at this and stayed silent. Charles sighed. He slid the breakfast he'd prepared

“Whatever happens, I'll respect your decision. If you don’t want to go back, | won't take you.”
He could tell she'd suffered a terrible blow. And if that wound had cfrom Alpha Henry, then he had no right
to return her to the man. He couldn't bear the thought of her being hurt again.
On the table, he placed a phone, a set of keys, and scash.
“I have an important mission today. I'll be back later. If you get hungry, order food, or go out for a walk. Or... call
someone, if you have a friend you want to talk to.”
When she didn’t respond, still curled up with her knees hugged to her chest, Charles exhaled heavily, slipped on
his jacket, and left.
The moment the door closed, the apartment seemed to hollow out. Aubrey clutched her knees tighter, her long
lashes trembling as she lowered her head, resting her face against her arms. Her expression was cool, distant.
In her past life, all she had done was love Alpha Henry. All she had was a gift no one else possessed-a body
different from the rest. So why had everyone tormented her?
She had once believed Henry was the only one who hadn't hurt her. But in the end, the place that destroyed her,
that reduced her to agony, had been his. He had shielded those who tortured her, perhaps even planned to use
her life to save someone else.
And this was the man she had loved.
Expressionless, Aubrey bit down on her own hand. Blood welled and streaked across her pale skin.
No one knew how long she sat like that before she finally reached for the phone. Slowly, she dialed a

“Hello?”
Mariana’s voice carried faint confusion. She didn’t reco

Aubrey laughed quietly. “Mariana. Things aren’t going so well for you these days, are they?”
“Aubrey?!”
Mariana shot to her feet in shock.
She was in her room, caught between panic and calculation. The Miguel family was tearing the pack
apart searching for Aubrey. Should she give her up? If she did, would Alpha Henry restore her rank
as a beta?
But before her thoughts could settle, Aubrey’s voice cagain, hoarse yet tinged with pleasure.
“Must be hard, selling yourself just to keep your company from collapsing. You must be feeling
miserable. And you know what? I’m here to enjoy the show. Seeing you like this-pathetic and
ruined-it makesfeel wonderful.”
“Aubrey!!”
Hatred surged hot and fast through Mariana’s veins, drowning her reason.
