Burn in the Alpha Princess's Wrath 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 . " 1/2 13:04 Mon , Sep 15 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 .
