Burn in the Alpha Princess’s Wrath
Chapter 141 That Ring
Kirby’s POV
There was no one else around. No one to overhear.
I stared at the side of Leslie’s face, but my heart felt like it was sinking fast.
She hates me?
That answer stung more than anything else.
“She hates us!”
Finished
My Wolf, Lance, howled in agony inside me. “She tore open our chest with her sharpest ws!”
But did she not have the right to hate me?
No. Of course she did.
Even I had started to hate myself.
<b>I </b>
gave a bitter smile. “Leslie, no matter what I do, you’re never going to forgive me, are you?”
“Kirby, we’ll never be friends again. You want forgiveness just to make yourself feel better, but… why should you?”
Leslie smiled, but there was nothing warm in it. Just cold.
“Why do you get to feel better? You should feel just as awful as I did. That’s what a real apology looks like.”
A flimsy ‘sorry‘ wasn’t enough to erase three years of pain.
But she wasn’t giving me a single chance.
My lips tightened. It felt like my whole chest was filled with ink, thick and suffocating.
That apology caught in my throat–it felt cheap, meaningless.
<b>I </b><b>stayed </b>quiet for a few seconds. My eyes flickered, my voice rough and low.
“<b>Leslie</b>… I’m sorry. I lost the ring.”

Chapter 141 That Ring
I paused.
Then I realized what he meant–the ring. My expression darkened instantly.
“The ring? He really dares bring that up?”
Finished
Asphodel raged inside me. “The wedding token that carried all your stupid love–he tossed it aside like garbage!”
I gave him a sideways nce, a cruel smile curling on my lips.
“I know. You lost it on purpose.”
So Kirby brought up the ring just to twist the knife?
He really was heartless. But my heart had already been torn apart long ago. Now, it was steel- ted.
Kirby’s eyes tightened. Just as he was about to say something, Eric noticed us and rushed over.
“Queen Leslie…”
The second I heard that, I couldn’t help butugh.
All the old pain Kirby dragged up suddenly felt meaningless.
Only people stuck in the past stay miserable.
Eric didn’t hesitate–he threw an arm around my shoulders and gave Kirby a guarded sideways nce.
“He didn’t give you trouble, did he?”
Me? Troubled by Kirby? I scoffed and smirked.
“I’m tired. I’m going home.”
“I’ll take you,”
Eric didn’t even think about it.
<b>I </b>smiled. “Not today. My butler’sing to pick me up. You’re the star of the show <b>tonight</b><b>. </b>You <b>can’t </b><b>leave </b>early.”
“I don’t care. You’re more important than any of them.”
Eric’s loyalty to beauty really was next <b>level</b>.

Chapter 141 That Ring
I didn’t hesitate–I turned to leave.
Behind me, someone spoke up.
“Leslie. Believe it or not… I didn’t lose that ring on purpose.”
His exnation hung heavy and hollow in the air.
If I believed that, I’d have to be insane.

Finished
Without a word or a nce back, I walked away in heels that struck the floor with sharp finality.
Eric walked me to the entrance and watched me leave.
