Alpha Henry had bent and bent again, but Aubrey never gave him a way out. Now he could no
longer hold himself back. He grabbed her hand and forced her to look at him.
“Do you really have to leave? Do you think the Miguel family is a place you can cand go from as
you please? Do you think I'm someone you can toy with-use and then throw away?!”
Aubrey lifted her head and looked at him with weary patience. “Alpha Henry, | don’t recall ever
having toyed with you. Don’t pin imagined crimes on me. Or have you already forgotten that you
said you wouldn’t beg me? What are you doing now-trying to persuade those ‘reluctant’ people to
speak for you?”
Her tone was like salt and oil; it cut through him and made his anger skyrocket.
“1 didn’t beg you!”
A flash of hurt crossed his eyes; his violet gaze was full of fury and pain. “Whether before or now! You're the one
who should love me—but is it really you who loved me, or were you just playing me?”
His words stunned Aubrey for a beat, and a cold, ironic smile tugged at her lips.

do. Couldn’t you have been consistent-ignoredfrom start to finish?”
“Damn you!”
Henry's temper exploded. He could no longer keep reason; words tumbled out recklessly. “If you hadn't done so
much, do you think | would have liked you?”
He regretted the sentence the moment it left his mouth. Before he could say anything to take it back, Aubrey
was already sneering.
“So you were moved by my actions? How touching. But you've got it wrong. | treated you well for reasons of my
own. | wanted to use your power to crush my enemies. Helping you was a transaction-we were collaborators. You
don’t need to be moved by sof my deeds.”
Her attempt to sever ties only inflamed him further; he glared as if the air itself were aflame.
“So you mean, besides using me, you never felt anything else? It was all my imagination?”

“You can think that if you like,” Aubrey said with a smile.
Her smile felt like a hand crushing his chest. His rage consumed his reason; his tongue betrayed him again.
“You don’t loveat all!”
Aubrey blinked.

“In the last life, by your own account, after you turned eighteen we drifted apart. So after eighteen,
how did you lovefor the next ten-odd years—by memory?” He shook his head, self-mockery in
his face. “You convinced yourself you were trapped in the mud, so that first flutter of feeling
beca white light and belief you refused to let go. You sanctified your feelings foras
nostalgia, and when you finally abandoned that last white light you fell into darkness and became
someone else...”
Aubrey laughed suddenly. “You mean, you becsomeone likenow?”
They faced off, heat against cold. When their gazes collided, sparks seemed to fly.
Aubrey’s eyes flickered as she studied him. “So you think my feelings for you were merely childish
nostalgia, and by leaving you | accepted reality—meaning I never really loved you, only
romanticized the idea of you?”
He didn’t want to entertain that analysis, but anger clouded his thought and he answered with
brutal certainty. “Yes.”
Aubrey narrowed her eyes dangerously and stepped forward to meet his gaze. “So that’s how you
see my feelings?”
“What else?” Henry’s violet eyes dimmed, and his voice grew colder. “If you truly loved me, you
wouldn’t leave. Instead, you hate me-despite my doing nothing this lifetime, despite your claim
that you can’t tell right from wrong, you still hate me. You're venting atand won’t even admit
it!”
