The moment I walked in , what greeted me was my mother and that woman - Astrid - locked in a scuffle , while Leslie stood off to the side , cold and detached , like an outsider . " Enough ! All of you - stand down ! " I shouted . My Alpha aura surged and froze the room in an instant . Both my mother and Astrid halted immediately . " Kirby , you're just in time ! " Mother practically clung to me like a drowning woman , immediately pointing at Astrid . " I suspect Leslie and this woman tried to steal something from our Pack . Help me pin them down - I need to search them ! " " Bullsh * t ! " Astrid snapped . My eyes flicked to Leslie . Her face was expressionless , calm as an ice - covered lake . Then I looked at my mother ... and a wave of irritation surged in my chest . I remembered the finance report . For three years , Leslie never used a single credit or resource I gave her . How could she possibly be stealing anything ? " No need for a search , " I said coldly to my mother . " Leslie wouldn't steal ." She froze , visibly stunned . Though clearly displeased , she finally let go of Astrid . Leslie didn't so much as glance at me . She took Astrid's hand and walked past us without a word . " Wait , Leslie ! " Watching her resolute back retreat into the light , that aching emptiness returned , compelling me to speak . The words tumbled out before I could stop them , weak and pathetic . " If you ... if you're willing to admit you were wrong , Crimson Moon Pack ... will still welcome you . " The moment I said it , regret hit me like a tidal wave . Lance whimpered in my mind - anguished and ashamed . What was I saying ? That she needed to admit fault ? What fault ? The truth was plain : It was me . It was Crimson Moon Pack . We were the ones who wronged her . 1/3 13:04 Mon , Sep 15 Leslie's POV ( Leaving Bloodrock Estate ) Admit I was wrong ? Crimson Moon Pack still welcomes me ? When I heard that laughable line from Kirby , I paused - but didn't turn back . Asphodel snarled in derision inside me . I gave a soft , cold snort . My voice wasn't loud , but it rang out clearly enough for him to hear . " Crimson Moon Pack ? Please . I'm just a ' lowly ' Omega - you're way out of my league ." With that , I said no more . I held Astrid's hand and walked straight out of the place that had caged three years of my youth and my heart . Sunlight spilled over me . I felt lighter - freer - than I had in years . Crimson Moon Pack . Kirby . Belle . We're far from finished . But first , I'm going home . Belle's POV ( Private Quarters ) I watched those two arrogant wenches leave with smug satisfaction written all over their faces , and fury flared in my chest . They may not have stolen anything valuable on the way out , but their attitude left a bitter taste in my mouth . Crimson Moon Pack is a powerful Pack . I am its Luna . I will not be disrespected by just any woman who walks through those doors . Especially not that little tramp Leslie and her friend . She needed to learn a lesson . It didn't take long . After just a bit of work on my end , a breaking news headline spread across the web like wildfire . " Crimson Moon Pack's Leslie Caught Cheating During Marriage - Bond Severed , Cast Out of the Pack ! " Still not satisfied , I quickly edited and released another update : " Moonrock Pendant - Sacred Relic of the Crimson Moon Pack - Reported Stolen ! " I didn't name names . I didn't have to . Between the timing and context , it would be obvious who 2/3 13:04 Mon , Sep 15 people would suspect . Leslie . The truth ? The real Moonrock pendant was safely hanging around my daughter Slyvana's neck . As long as the two of us stayed quiet ... no one would ever know .
