Burn in the Alpha Princess’s Wrath
Chapter 61 The Old Wolf Steps In
Leslie’s POV
Early the next morning, I sleepily picked up a call from Astrid.
“Girl! Check your Moonbook right now! Something huge just happened!”
“What is it?” I asked, still groggy.

“Yourtest post–the one about the fang! Someone just offered fifty million credits in thements! Leslie, if you sell it now, you’ll pocket a clean twenty mil!”
Fifty million?
Now I was awake. Iughed softly.
Who did they think they were fooling?
Sure, maybe the Ancestor’s Fang was worth that much on its own.
But because it was the symbol of Crimson Moon Pack? That fifty million wouldn’t even cover <i>a </i>fraction of what it was really worth to them.
“Keep watching,” I told Astrid. “Everyone bidding right now is just a low–level scavenger trying to get lucky.”
“Exactly,” she snorted. “And get this–one of them? I asked around. Guess who’s behind it? Leiss. Looks like Kirby can’t sit still anymore and is trying to get someone else to buy it back for him.”
I raised an eyebrow. As expected.
He knew he couldn’t buy it directly from me, so he tried a proxy? Pathetic.
Day after day, the bids on my Moonbook post climbed higher. Anonymous offers had already reached one hundred million credits.
But I didn’t respond. Not once.
I was a patient hunter–waiting for the real prize to rise to the surface.
Beta Rowan and Elder Drax’s power was already unraveling under my pressure. Soon they’d be reduced to nobodies in Westview, unable to threaten me again. This city would soon be fully under my control.

That afternoon, I was reviewing documents for the third phase of the Moon Goddess Relic project when Liam’s internal call came through. His voice was unusually serious.
“Your Excellency, the Crimson Moon Pack Alpha… has arrived.”
My eyebrow arched.
So he finally came.
When the small fish fail, the old shark takes the bait.
Kirby’s father–Marcus Crimson Moon Pack. A temperamental, ruthless old wolf king who hadn’t left the inner territory of Crimson Moon Pack in nearly a decade.
I guess the matter of the Ancestor’s Fang had really pushed him to the edge.
“He’s waiting in the guest hall?” I asked.
Liam shook his head. “No. He bypassed all security and arrived at your office half an hour ago. He said… he’ll wait there until you show up.”
I was a little surprised–but only for a moment.
Of course. ssic old wolf king. Always making an entrance. Was this supposed to intimidate
me?
I lowered my head and smiled, then stood, smoothed my skirt, and walked toward the office doors.
I pushed them open and stepped inside.
Sure enough, there he was.
A tall man with silvered hair, sharp eyes like a hawk, sitting calmly on the main sofa of my office.
Marcus Crimson Moon Pack. Kirby’s father.
But he didn’t project the Alpha aura I expected. In fact, he had drawn in all his energy. He looked… simply like a dignified patriarch.
Which only made me more cautious.
Only the most dangerous predators know how topletely hide their ws.
“No manners?” he said when he saw me, voice rough and low butced with absolute authority. “You walk in without knocking now?”

So the old man still thought he could treat me the way he used to?
