After using the Royal ck Gold Card to humiliate Slyvana into retreating from the jewelry shop, I apanied a very satisfied Astrid for a little more shopping.
Our bond as sisters only deepened through moments like this–fighting side by side against a
As evening approached, I was just about to return to the Governor’s Mansion to tackle the mountain of pending work when Am’s emergency call came through.
“Babe, I need a favor. Big time.” Am’s voice was crisp, direct, and left no room for argument. “Tonight’s the once–every–three–years Blood Moon Hunt Festival in Central City. One of my fighters–just won champion at the Blood Ring Arena–needs a proper escort for the Glory Night segment. I’m not in town, and after thinking it through… only my queen has the presence and authority to carry the stage.”
The Blood Moon Hunt Festival? Of course I knew it.
It was the grandest festival on the continent, hosted by the ancient and neutral Watcher Pack.
The Glory Night segment was the highlight–an elite social showcase where the top Packs unted strength, wealth, and forged high–level political alliances.
I’d meant to decline. But then I realized this was a rare chance to connect with other Pack leaders and expand my influence beyond Westview.
Not to mention, Kirby and his entourage would surely be there.
I didn’t mind letting them see–again–just how radiant my life had be.
“Alright. Send me the location.”
“Knew I could count on you!” Am cheered. “The dress and your date are already on their way. His name’s Skoll–an elite lone wolf, fresh from the arena. He’s strong, obedient, and easy on the eyes. Just treat him like a well–trained bodyguard.”
After the call, I raised an eyebrow.
Am’s efficiency had always been one of the few constants I could rely on.
In less than ten minutes, a sleek ck sports car–styled like a Rogue Pack panther–pulled up silently in front of me.

“Governor Leslie,” he said, giving a precise warrior’s salute. His deep, maic voice carried quiet strength. “It’s an honor to serve as your escort tonight.”
He handed me a mithril–crafted case. Inside was a deep crimson gown, woven from genuine moonlight silk–wlessly tailored for tonight’s asion.
The Blood Moon Hunt Festival was set deep within a massive, ancient forest, protected by primordial barriers.
At the center stood a vast open–air altar built from monolithic stones and ancient timber.
The air was thick with ritual energy, the savory scent of roasted meat, and the restrained of hundreds of top–tier Alphas and their pheromones.
Linked arm in arm with Skoll, I stepped into the venue–and all eyes turned to us.

As the newly crowned arena champion, Skoll alreadymanded attention. But I, as Westview’s Governor from the Rogue Pack, radiated the kind of mystery and danger that only real power could give.
I spotted Eric, surrounded by a group of flirtatious she–wolves, but the moment he saw me, his gaze locked on mine. He gave me a resigned yet intrigued smile.
And then I saw them–seated at the most honored position near the altar–Crimson Moon Pack’s acting matriarch Belle, and her ever–bitter daughter, Slyvana.
They saw me <i>too</i>. Belle’s eyes flickered with a sh of cold malice, nearly hidden.
Slyvana, on the other hand, made no effort to disguise the pure venom in her re.
