“The driver’s waiting outside,” Kirby said. His gaze was conflicted, but his tone was cold. “Have him take you home.”
I looked at him, mildly surprised. I didn’t expect him to be so quick to cut her off.
“Marcus,” my father said again, looking directly at him. “As for the way my daughter was treated in your house, we’ll put that aside for now. But those rumors flying around the continent? I’d say you’re the one most responsible for clearing her name. Don’t you agree?”
“Is that really necessary?” Marcus still tried to resist.
“If you can’t even show that much sincerity, my father said with a smile, “then I’ll declare, in the name of the Rogue Pack royal family, that the Crimson Moon Pack is to be isolated. No other pack will have any contact with you, I’d like to see how long you survive.”
Marcus’s face turned completely cold.
…I’ll consider it,” he said, grinding his teeth.
“Marcus,” I said with a smile, delivering the final blow, “make sure you stop by the museum often. Go see how your family’s ‘honor’ is being worshipped by the whole continent.”
Marcus staggered. Slyvana caught him before he collapsed, and without another word, he left the hall in disgrace.
The entire Crimson Moon Pack left all except Kirby.
Kirby’s POV
They were all gone.
Only I remained, standing there like a forgotten statue.
I looked at Leslie. Her face was cold, proud, untouched by even the faintest trace of warmth. Not a shred of emotion left for me.
All I felt was endless, frozen regret.
“Leslie,” I said quietly. It took everything I had to speak her name. “We need to talk.”
“Talk?” The Lycan King looked to her, waiting for her answer.
She looked at me and laughed softly. That laugh hurt more than any blade.
“There’s nothing to talk about, Kirby. Instead of wasting your time on me, maybe go home and help your dear father figure out how to word that apology letter.”
With that, she took her father’s arm and walked away.
theld onto my father Lars’s arm and walked away without looking back, leaving behind the Eternal Palace the place that had witnessed both my revenge and my rebirth.
Kirby’s eyes, full of pain and regret, didn’t stir a single ripple in my heart.
“Where’s Carl?”
Father looked toward Thorbane. “Why didn’t he show up to something this important?”
Thorbane coughed helplessly. “He said if he came, he’d steal everyone’s spotlight. So… he stayed home and slept.”
Father snorted. “What damn spotlight? That ‘Blade of the Wilds’ nonsense was all hyped up because of me in the first place!”
Thorbane and I exchanged a look, and we both couldn’t help but laugh.
After the banquet, Astrid and Amara dragged me off to the most popular bar in the city, swearing we wouldn’t go home sober.
Kirby’s POV
“Crimson Moon Pack! That was insane tonight!”
I had just walked into the private room at Shadow Pub when Leiss rushed up to me, still wearing a look of shock-and a trace of fear.
The entire continent’s network had exploded because of tonight’s celebration.
Leslie was a princess of the Rogue Pack royal family.
Thinking back to all the nasty things he’d said about her over the past three years, Leiss broke out in a cold sweat.
I ignored him and walked straight to the bar, grabbed an unopened bottle of fiery liquor from the Northern Icefields, and downed it in one go.
The other young Alphas from various packs in the room wisely kept their mouths shut.
“Seriously, Crimson Moon Pack,” Leiss sighed, “that woman hid herself way too well. She’s at the top of the food chain now. You think she’s gonna come after us?”
“No,” I muttered with a dry laugh, my voice hoarse and bitter. “She’s only coming for me.”
From beginning to end, I was the only one who truly wronged her.
“But I still don’t get it,” another young Alpha blurted out. “Why would she marry you in the first place? She’s a princess of the Rogue Pack. Lars’s only daughter. How does that even make sense?”
Why?
Was it because we were fated mates?
I didn’t know.
That question wrapped itself around my heart like a curse I couldn’t shake..
It wasn’t that I thought I wasn’t worthy of her.
Even if she was royalty, I believed I had the strength to build a kingdom of my own.
Ljust couldn’t understand why she’d give up all her light and brilliance-why she’d willingly marry a man who never cared about her-just because of some ridiculous fated bond.
If I never figure out the answer, I don’t think I’ll ever sleep peacefully again.
And just then, a deafening commotion erupted from outside the private room, followed by a wave of high- pitched screaming.
Leiss peeked his head out to check, then jerked back a second later, his face twisted in panic.
“Holy sh*t! It’s her! Leslie’s here!”
Burn in the Alpha Princess Wrath
Kirby’s POV
I instinctively followed Leiss’ gaze and looked outside the private room.
Right in the center of the dance floor, that figure-I’d recognize her even if she turned to dust.
Leslie.
She’d changed out of that elegant gown and into a skintight black leather outfit that showed off every perfect curve.
Her long hair fell loosely down her back, shimmering under the flashing lights of the dance floor like a true Rogue Pack enchantress.
She was dancing with a tall, muscular, ridiculously handsome male werewolf. Her smile was bright, radiant, full of wild charm.
Every move she made oozed danger and seduction, drawing-screams from the crowd around her.
I had no idea she could dance like that.
I had no idea her smile could be that blinding.
