Chapter 117 Only One of Us Can Burn


    Kirby’s POV


    Early in the morning, Mch came to report thetest news spreading all over the maind web..


    Shocking Alpha Queen caught in a love triangle with rising Beta star and her rumored older me!”


    Who will win Leslie’s heart?”


    I looked at my phone–those videos stitching together Leslie and Lorde with dreamy background music, all of them flooded withments saying how perfect they looked together and I felt a surge of nameless rage shoot straight to my head.


    Perfect?


    <i>I</i>, who had a three–year marital contract with her, I, heir to Crimson Moon Pack–was beingpared unfavorably to a Beta actor who’d just debuted?


    Bang- I mmed the phone down on the table so hard the screen cracked.


    Mch stiffened, instantly going on high alert.


    “Alpha, sir-


    Leslie’s POV


    After breakfast, I wasn’t in a rush to head to the office. Instead, I went to Carl’spany, Aurora Entertainment.


    If I was going to acquire Greyhound Entertainment, someone had to manage the grunt work for me. Michael seemed like a good pick.


    But the moment I reached the building entrance, I saw Vera–decked out head to toe in luxury brands- strutting up too, every inch of her reeking of money.


    I had no intention of acknowledging her and was about to head straight in, but of course, Vera just <i>had </i>to shout out to me the moment she saw me.


    “Leslie! Showing up first thing in the morning to beg for help? Trying to get Carl to fix your image?”


    Her grin was so wide it warped her entire face, and the glee in her eyes couldn’t have been more obvious.


    I paused. My eyes flickered as I looked at her and curled my lips slightly. “What’s it to you? Since when do you get a say at Aurora Entertainment?”


    Vera’s smile faded as I shot back. She sneered. “Let me tell you something. No one in the entertainment world dares to cross me. I’m here to fan the mes–let this scandal burn brighter. No matter how strong you act behind closed doors, Leslie, you’re nothing out here. You mess with me, and I’ll have every single werewolf cursing you until you start questioning your entire life. Got it?”


    I raised an eyebrow. My tone turned sharper.


    With arms folded, I tapped my elbow lightly. “So those rumors online about me and Lorde–are you saying you’re the one behind them? You purposely smeared me?”

    <b>Vera </b>smugly lifted her chin. The arrogance dripping from her face was absolutely unbearable.


    That’s just a little warning. Don’t think the whole world revolves around you. So Lorde admires you? Great. That just makes it more satisfying to bury him at the peak of his fame. I’ll have everyone know who really runs this ce!


    Vera’s POV


    I stood there, staring at Leslie’s face–that gorgeous, infuriating face–andughed coldly to myself.


    I wasn’t afraid of her. Sure, our Pack might not rival Rogue Pack in terms of raw power, but when it came to media influence? On the continent, Greyhound Pack didn’t take orders from anyone.


    Let’s see how far you get, Leslie. I won’t let you stay on that high horse for long.


    But when she heard me, Leslie just lowered her head and let out a softugh. Not a single trace of panic or fear in thatugh–like my words weren’t even worth responding to. Like they were a bad joke.


    That smile–so calm, so dismissive–it made me want to tear her apart.
