Chapter 140 You Heard That?


    Natalia’s POV


    My heart dropped into an icy abyss.


    She’s the Lycan King’s daughter?


    Vera never mentioned anything about that!


    She only told me Leslie was a regr werewolf under the Rogue Pack name…


    A wave of absurdity surged through me.

    If my Alpha father finds out I offended someone this dangerous, would he tear me apart with his own hands?


    Cold spread through my chest like frostbite.


    That lying snake Vera! She tricked me. She used me to provoke someone with terrifying backing like Leslie? She’s trying to get me killed!


    Leslie looked at me, lips curled in a cold, mocking smile. Then she turned, elegantly walking over to a velvet chaise and sat down.


    A pathetic fool who got yed–serves you right.


    That was the unspoken judgment in her eyes.


    Frost Pack’s beta stepped forward, voice as cold as ice, t and emotionless. “Frost Pack still has a score to settle. Take her away.”


    “Yes, sir,” the guards answered crisply.


    I couldn’t get a single word out.


    Terror consumed me. I was filled with despair over my future, my body trembling uncontrobly.


    Not only was I about to be cklisted across the continent, I was going to be buried in debt <i>too</i>.


    If word of this reached Frost Pack in the Northern Realm, this would be a stain <b>I’d </b><b>never </b><b>live </b>down.

    Am and I rejoined the main hall. The cro


    wd was once again cheerful, chatting andughing like nothing had ever happened.


    Now that they knew who I was, no one dared to push their luck with drinks. A few polite words, and that was it.


    Feeling tired, I wandered out to a small balcony. It was quiet and elegant here. Through the windows, I could see the shimmeringke in the distance and breathe in the heady scent of flowers carried on the breeze.


    Just as my shoulders began to rx, I heard footsteps approaching.


    “Leslie, what are you doing here?”


    It was Leiss.


    My face rxed slightly, but a look of cool displeasure still lingered. I gave him a sideways re.


    “Another one who sniffed his way over. Crimson Moon Pack’s loyal hound.”


    My Wolf, Asphodel, snorted disdainfully in my head.


    “Do I need your permission to be anywhere?”


    Otherwise, stop poking your nose into my busin


    ess.


    Leiss‘ POV


    Leslie’s stare had so much pressure behind it!


    Still, I forced myself forward. I had to say something for my brother’s sake.


    “Leslie, I didn’t mean anything by it, really. It’s just… why wasn’t that gift for Kirby? He waited for you the whole night on his birthday, and you never showed…”


    I muttered it quietly, heart aching for Kirby.


    Poor bastard.


    Leslie gave a coldugh, her gaze icy as she swept it over me. The Alpha pressure rolling off her felt like it could cut to the bone. “Leiss, where do you guys get the confidence? Why would I go to someone else’s birthday party? Why would I give a gift to a wolf I despise?”


    Her words were ws, ripping right through me.


    Doesn’t she realize what she’s saying?

    Finished


    I froze, just about to argue back–when I noticed the curtain behind her sway slightly. A tall, familiar figure stood partially hidden.


    My mouth opened, stunned, regret rising like bile.


    Sh*t…


    “You despise me? You really despise me?”


    A low voice cut through the air. Leslie’s whole body tensed. She turned her head in surprise.


    At some point, Kirby had appeared at her side, partially hidden behind a heavy velvet curtain. I hadn’t noticed him at all until now.


    Kirby’s expression was unreadable, eerily calm. His eyes never left Leslie.


    But his Alpha scent was beginning to leak out, heavy and suffocating.


    Leslie looked away from him, a cold smile tugging at the corner of her lips.


    “I thought I’d made my disgust pretty clear, Kirby. Didn’t you notice?”


    Her voice carried no hint of mercy. There was no room for doubt or misinterpretation.


    I stood there,pletely stuck, wishing I could disappear into the ground.


    Why did I get involved? Why did I even open my damn mouth? If only this had never happened…


    I coughed awkwardly, closed my eyes, and wished to hell I could teleport right out of this damn werewolf party from hell.


    Straight to the abyss.
