My hand trembled slightly as I wrote. Lance whimpered inside me, wounded.
Leslie calmly picked up the agreement, checked the contents, and slipped it into a small, unassuming pouch that shimmered faintly with strange energy.
“Well, that’s that. I’ll be going now.” Her voice held no emotion, and without looking back, she turned and walked toward the door.
I’d already braced myself for the second wave of pain that came with the bond’s final severance. But watching her leave-utterly resolute, not a hint of hesitation in her step-an overwhelming sense of loss crashed over me like a tide. My chest felt hollow, like… something vital had been torn away.
I turned my head toward Liana, still on the bed, her expression flickering between panic and guilt. The anger I’d buried roared back to life.
“Liana,” I said coldly, “you’ve truly disappointed me.”
I didn’t spare her another glance. I strode out of the room.
She’d lied to me. Used my guilt over Jake against me. This… wouldn’t be forgiven so easily.
Leslie’s POV (Outside Crimson Moon Pack Hospital)
Stepping out of the Crimson Moon Pack hospital-its walls heavy with falsehood and suffocation-I took a deep breath of clean, open air. The sunlight bathed my skin in warmth, as if burning away the gloom that had clung to me for three years.
Asphodel leapt and spun joyfully within me. Finally free of that foolish Alpha and that disgusting Pack! Leslie, let’s go home!
Yes. Home, I replied with a smile.
Just then, a familiar figure appeared in the distance, waving with a broad, beaming smile.
“Leslie!”
It was Astrid! My dear friend, a powerful female Alpha from the neighboring Tempest Pack- one of the few who had always known my true identity and worried for me from afar.
“Astrid!” I ran to her and wrapped her in a tight hug. “What are you doing here?”
“Obviously, I came to pick you up!” Astrid gave me a firm pat on the back, her eyes shining with joy. “As soon as I got Thorbane’s message saying you were finally leaving that hellhole, I dropped everything and came running. Thank the stars-you look so much better! That bastard Kirby-Crimson Moon didn’t hurt you, did he?”
“I’m fine,” I said, shaking my head. I pulled out the bond dissolution scroll and waved it in front of her. “It’s all over.”
“That’s amazing!” Astrid let out a triumphant whoop. “I always knew that bastard didn’t deserve you! By the way… how’s Thorbane doing?” she asked, trying to sound casual, but the faint blush rising in her cheeks said otherwise.
I smiled knowingly. Looks like a few stories unfolded in my absence.
We’ll need a good long chat with big brother later, I thought to Asphodel.
“So, Leslie, what now?” Astrid asked. “Heading straight back to the royal court?”
I shook my head, a trace of coldness flickering in my eyes. “Not yet. Before I leave for good, I have a few personal belongings to collect from Crimson Moon Pack’s main estate.”
Astrid jumped in immediately. “Then I’ll go with you! I’ve been dying to see that famous Luna Belle who thinks she can boss my friend around.”
I smiled. “That won’t be necessary, Astrid. Thorbane’s men are stationed nearby-I’ll be fine. There are some debts I want to settle myself.”
After parting with Astrid, I reached out with my senses, locating the positions of the Rogue wolf warriors hidden nearby. I drew a deep breath and began walking toward Crimson Moon Pack’s main estate.
There was still an old acquaintance waiting for me there.
Astrid and I had arrived in my unassuming transport vehicle at the gates of Bloodrock Estate- the main house of Crimson Moon Pack. Built from deep crimson stone, the estate loomed darkly in the fading sunlight. The air here carried the familiar scent of the Pack, but now it reeked of decay-of rust, arrogance, and something sour that lingered in the background.
Thorbane and the Rogue warriors were hidden in the nearby forest, their presence steady and dependable, ready to move at a moment’s notice. Astrid wanted to come in with me, but I shook my head.
“Wait for me outside, Astrid. This is something I need to finish myself.”
She looked at me with concern but finally nodded. “Be careful, Leslie. That old hag won’t go down easy.”
I took a long breath and opened the car door. Asphodel growled low in my chest, its silver wolf eyes scanning the surroundings with wariness. This place still smells awful, Leslie. Arrogance, jealousy… and that fake Omega’s lingering stench.
Bear with it a little longer, my friend, I answered silently. We’ll take back what’s ours-and leave.
Leslie’s POV (Bloodrock Estate)
I walked alone through the estate gates. The servants glanced at me with surprise and thinly veiled contempt, but none dared to stop me. After all, word of the dissolved bond hadn’t spread yet, and in name, I was still the “lady of the house.”
The moment I stepped into the cold, lavish hall, a sharp, cutting voice rang out, accompanied by the cloying, unpleasant scent of Alpha spouse pheromones-meant to assert Luna status, but to me, it reeked of rot.
“You dare come back?! Leslie! You shameless little tramp! Where the hell were you last night?! You didn’t even prepare your Alpha’s dinner! You think marrying into Crimson Moon Pack gives you the right to act lawless? A pathetic Omega who couldn’t even protect her own kind dares to disrespect me-the Luna?!”
Belle-Kirby’s mother, and Crimson Moon Pack’s current Luna-stood at the top of the stairs with her arms crossed, looking down at me with undisguised malice. No amount of fine clothing or jeweled adornment could hide the pettiness and venom in her heart.
Asphodel erupted inside me with a surge of fury, nearly breaking through my restraint. I’ve endured this hag for three years! Leslie! Let me tear her tongue out!
I forced Asphodel to stay calm. Outwardly, I smiled-calm, composed, even gentle. As though I hadn’t heard a word of her venom.
I simply raised my head and stared at her in silence.
My calm infuriated Belle. She stormed down the stairs, jabbing a finger toward my face as she continued to screech. “What are you looking at?! Get to work! The floors are filthy, the laundry’s undone-are you dead?! If it weren’t for Kirby, I would’ve kicked you out ages ago!”
At that moment, the front doors slammed open. Astrid stormed in, face like thunder-she’d clearly overheard the shouting.
“Who are you calling a tramp?! Luna, is this how you treat your son’s mate?!”
As a successor of Tempest Pack and a strong Alpha in her own right, Astrid’s presence didn’t lose one bit to Belle’s.
Belle hadn’t expected anyone to speak up for me. She blinked in shock, then flew into a rage. “Who are you?! What right does some outsider have to interfere with Crimson Moon Pack’s business? Leslie-Crimson Moon, how dare you bring an outsider to confront me-the Luna?! Guards! Get them out of my house!”
A few Beta guards stepped forward hesitantly.
I gently stopped Astrid from making a move and shook my head. Then I turned to Belle. My smile didn’t fade, but my voice turned cold.
“Former Luna,” I said evenly, “I’m only here to collect my personal belongings. I didn’t come to listen to your barking. Oh-and I go by Leslie-Rogue now.”
“Rogue? What are you saying?” Belle blinked.
“I’m saying,” I lifted the already-validated dissolution scroll and held it up for her to see, “your precious son Kirby and I are no longer bonded. He signed it himself-just a little while ago. From now on, I have nothing to do with you or Crimson Moon Pack.”
Belle’s expression changed dramatically-shifting from shock, to disbelief, and finally to pure delight.
“You… you’re serious? You and Kirby are done?! Wonderful! That’s the best thing I’ve heard in years!” She was practically dancing with glee.
Astrid looked on, wide-eyed, before scoffing in open disgust.
Belle hadn’t even finished gloating before she turned defensive again, glaring at me with suspicion. “Fine! Good riddance! But don’t even think about taking anything from us- especially anything Kirby gave you!”
I laughed inwardly. How small-minded.
“Relax,” I said coolly, even with a touch of pity. “Your Crimson Moon Pack’s trinkets hold no value for me. I’m only taking what’s mine.”
Astrid backed me up instantly. “Exactly! Like Leslie would even want anything from this pitiful Pack.”
I said nothing more and, without sparing Belle another glance, took Astrid’s hand and headed for the second floor-toward the room I once called mine.
Belle’s POV (Bloodrock Estate)
Watching Leslie and that wild little girl from who-knows-where heading upstairs, my heart was bursting with uncontrollable joy.
It’s over! That eyesore of an Omega-low-born, disgraceful, and with no pedigree-finally dissolved the bond with my Kirby! Moon Goddess truly watches over us!
