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 ! " 1/2 13:04 Mon , Sep 15 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 .
