Chapter 25 Leslie Bullied Me


    Kirby’s POV (Moon Cafe)


    After that fiasco at Glory Hall, I sent Liana away as fast as I could.

    Under the pretense of treatment, I arranged for her to be sent to a secluded Pack sanatorium far in the northernmost territory. She cried and begged, trying once again to use Jake’s name to stir up my guilt, but my mind was made up.


    Her lies and stupidity had already brought far too much trouble and shame to Crimson Moon Pack.


    Lance agreedpletely–her presence was a dangerous liability.


    But even after sending her off, I felt no relief.


    The strength, coldness, and veiled threat Leslie had shown at Glory Hall still haunted me. The look in her eyes when she shoved Liana into the pool, the way she poured that wine over her without flinching… That wasn’t the Leslie I knew.


    <i>She </i><i>never </i><i>was </i><i>the </i><i>person </i><i>you </i><i>thought </i><i>she </i><i>was</i><i>, </i><i>Kirby</i><i>, </i>Lance murmured in my mind, with a strange mix of weariness and… fear? <i>We </i><i>were </i><i>both </i><i>fooled</i>.


    News of Leslie’s appointment as Governor of Rogue Pack’s Western Border spread quickly among the Packs.


    Promoted out of nowhere? Hah. Looks like Thorbane Rogue really does favor that woman.


    I hadn’t been paying much attention to her movements within RoguePack—until today, when Slyvana suddenly called me: “Kirby! I got bulliede quick, I’m at Moon Cafe!”


    The moment I heard that, I got up and rushed out the door, driving straight to Moon Cafe.


    I didn’t like Slyvana much, but she was still a Crimson Moon werewolf–my sister. I wasn’t about to let someone else push her around.


    As I arrived outside the restaurant and was about to get out of the car, Slyvana burst through the doors like she’d just seen her savior. She grabbed my arm and pointed at Leslie, who had just walked out. “It was her! Kirby, it was all Leslie Rogue, that bitch! She’s the one who


    embarrassed me! Mom can vouch for it!”


    Her hair was a mess, her expensive dress stained with what was clearly red wine. She did look pathetic.


    I frowned and looked toward Leslie, who stood beside Thorbane, her face as cold and distant as

    She noticed me looking–but didn’t react. She just took Thorbane’s hand and turned to leave.


    What had she done to Slyvana this time?


    A re of anger lit in my chest.


    I knew Slyvana and Mother had always shed with her, but Leslie… had she gone too far this time? Especially in public?


    I strode forward, and just as she was about to pass by, I reached out and grabbed her arm. Her skin was smooth and cool–like silk chilled over ice.


    “Leslie Rogue! You owe us an exnation!” I stared at her, searching her clear but frosty eyes for any trace of the woman I once knew. All I saw was distance–and mockery.


    She looked up at me, let out a faint scoff, and said in an indifferent tone, “I did it. What’s there to exin?”


    She admitted it—just like that?!


    She started to pull away, unconcerned, as if brushing off a bit of dust. That total disregard set me off. Lance roared inside me, and the Alpha instinct to dominate made me tighten my grip without thinking.


    I felt her body stiffen. She turned her head slowly toward me, her beautiful eyes now frosted with a quiet chill and a clear warning. “Kirby Alpha. Are you trying to punish me for her?”


    “Kirby! Don’t let her go! That b*tch daredy hands on me! You can’t just let her off that easy!” Slyvana shrieked at my side, trying to stir the mes.


    I looked at her, my fury wrestling with reason.


    I took a deep breath, forcing the heat back down, and asked her with a frown, “What do you want?”


    Slyvana instantly perked up, a twisted smile curling at her lips as she looked triumphantly at Leslie. “Make Leslie Rogue lick my shoes!”
