Chapter 108 A Dog Dares to Bite the Queen


    Leiss<b>‘ </b>POV


    I rushed down after Kirby and saw that idiot Lucas lying on the ground like a dead dog.


    “Lucas, are you out of your mind?”


    I shouted in disbelief.


    His family only runs some no–name little Pack with no real background, and he dared to use his pheromones to provoke Leslie? Tried toy hands on her? Does he have a death wish?


    And then Kirby kicked him again. That surprised me even more.


    Word is, Kirby and Leslie haven’t been on good terms for ages. So why was the first one <i>to </i>rush to her side when she was in danger… her ex–husband?


    Astrid came running too, looking anxious as she checked Leslie over. “Are you okay?”


    Leslie calmly shook her head without the slightest sign of fear.


    Of course she wasn’t scared. With her skills, that low–rank Alpha like Lucas couldn’t touch a hair on her head.


    Still, Kirby showing up like that… totally unexpected.


    Lucas finally came to his senses on the ground, clutching his broken arm and cursing, “Fuck! Who the hell kicked me?!”


    Iughed from how pissed off I was. “Lucas, open your fucking dog eyes and take a look. Tired of living, huh?”


    This guy usually acts all meek in front of us, and now he dares to run his mouth like this? Unreal.


    When he heard my voice, Lucas froze. Then he opened his eyes and looked up.


    When he saw Kirby’s cold, dark eyes, the kind of dominant top–tier Alpha aura that could crush bones hit him like a tidal wave–he went white with fear on the spot.


    He forgot all about the pain and scrambled to kneel in front of Kirby like a roach.


    “Lord Kirby, why are you here?!”


    This can’t be right. I thought Kirby hated Leslie. Why would he stand up for her?


    Lucas didn’t have time to think it through. He immediately tried to plead his case. “Lord Kirby, you’ve got it all wrong! I just wanted to teach that woman a lesson. She’s been ndering your name all over the Continental Net–it’s disgusting! You’re a gracious Alpha, I know you wouldn’t stoop to deal with her, but us, as your friends–we couldn’t just stand by! She needed to be taught a lesson!”


    Yeah, sure. He was <i>totally </i>doing it for Kirby.


    The moment those words left his mouth, Kirby kicked him square in the chest. Lucas went pale with pain.


    Kirby’s expression was icy, his voice t. “You think someone like you is qualified <i>to </i>be friends with

    Crimson Moon Pack?”


    I jumped in fast, rushing to Leslie and waving my hands. “We’re not friends with him! Kirby doesn’t know. him at all. This has nothing to do with Crimson Moon Pack–it was his own idea! Leslie, don’t


    misunderstand–please!”


    I knew damn well Kirby wasn’t trying to go to war with Leslie.


    Whether it’s personal or for the sake of the Pack’s interests, he needs to keep things civil with her.


    So I had to be the one to clean up this mess.


    “Not just any mutt gets to call themselves Kirby’s friend. This Lucas guy has no shame.”


    Leslie suddenly chuckled in front of everyone. “No need to exin. It’s not the first time a ‘friend‘ of Crimson Moon Pack hase to cause me trouble. Beta Leiss did plenty back in the day, too…”


    I froze and looked down, too ashamed to answer.


    She wasn’t wrong. As Kirby’s friend, back during the three years they were bonded, I gave Leslie no end of trouble.


    My tactics weren’t any better than Lucas‘, just more polished.


    I really had no right to argue.


    That woman—she’s brutal.


    Instinctively, I turned and nced at Kirby standing in front of us, his back straight as ever.


    His hands were clenched at his sides, veins bulging.


    No doubt about it–he was hurting.


    Lucas, still rolling on the ground from the pain, looked up with a pale face and cried, “Lord Kirby, I swear I was just thinking about you! I didn’t know you still cared about that woman! If I’d known, I wouldn’t have done it even with a hundred lives!”


    This guy–is he brain–dead?


    He actually said that with both Kirby and Leslie standing right there?


    I couldn’t take it anymore.


    “Shut the f*ck up, Lucas! Who said you get to speak here? Since when are Kirby’s affairs yours to meddle in? You trying to get yourself cklisted from every Pack on the continent?!”


    F*cking idiot.
