Kirby’s POV (Outside Bloodrock Estate/Crimson Moon Pack Office)

I stood outside the cold iron gates of Bloodrock Estate, watching as Leslie and that woman named Astrid got into an unremarkable sedan.
A man who looked a bit familiar personally opened the car door for her, his face filled with obvious concern.
Who was that?
Then it hit me–Thorbane, one of the Roguepack’s Alpha heirs!
How did Leslie know him?
Lance growled uneasily in my head. “<i>Kirby</i><i>, </i><i>this </i>Leslie<i>… </i><i>she’s </i><i>not </i><i>simple</i>. <i>We </i><i>may </i><i>have </i><i>been </i>wrong about <i>her </i>from <i>the </i><i>start</i>.”
I forced down the unease and the hollowness that had been gnawing at me since our bond was severed. Wrong? No–she was the one who was wrong! She betrayed the bond. She challenged my authority!
Back at the Pack office, my mother Belle wouldn’t stop ranting and cursing Leslie, which only made my irritation worse. I ignored her and threw myself into dealing with the chaos left behind by the Liana incident and Leslie’s departure.
But the next morning, an even bigger storm hit.
Mch burst into my office, pale–faced, and dropped an urgent intelligence report in front of me. Overnight, both our internalwork and certain hidden forums in the human world had been flooded with vicious rumors about Leslie.
“Crimson Moon’s discarded Luna” # “The promiscuous future Luna” # “Greedy Omega“-these kinds of tags were stered everywhere. The content was filthy. They used Leslie of sleeping with other Alphas while I was away handling Pack matters, imed she married me just to climb the socialdder and take the Crimson Moon Pack’s wealth, and said she even stole a sacred heirloom–the Moonrock pendant–when we divorced.
“Who did this?!” I mmed my hand on the desk, Alpha fury erupting through me. Lance roared too–not for Leslie, but for the honor of Crimson Moon Pack! This kind of filth was dragging our name through the mud!
Mch stammered, “It was… Luna. She used the Pack’s private info channels and some… financial resources…”

My mother?! How dare she?! She actually used such vile methods to go after someone- someone who had just left, someone who was once part of this family?!
“Take it all down! Everyst post–wipe it clean!” I roared.

“Alpha, sir…” Mch looked pained. “I’m afraid… that won’t be easy. The information spread too quickly and too widely. And… it seems another force is driving it. Our people can’t erase it all. In fact… ourwork hase under heavy attack from an unknown source…”
My stomach dropped. Another force? Could it be Roguepack? Thorbane?
Just then, new intel popped up on Mch’s tablet–Leslie had struck back.
A photo of me and Liana, curled up in bed, was now making the rounds on the biggest social media tforms. In it, Liana wore a smug smile and radiated seduction. The image had been perfectly timed and strategically released.
And then came the real bombshell–a detailed report from a mysterious but highly credible neutral investigation agency. It stated clearly that the so–called “Moonrock theft” was pure nder. The real Moonrock had actually been taken by my worthless sister Slyvana to the gambling capital in neutral territory–and lost in a high–stakes bet! She’d left it there as coteral. The report even included surveince footage of Slyvana throwing money around at the casino.
The world spun. Rage, humiliation, and a crushing sense of exposure washed over me like a tidal wave.
