Watching the two of them eat their own words , I gave a cold smile - but outwardly , I kept my expression calm . I gently tugged on my brother's sleeve , signaling for him not to get angry . " Let it go , big brother . It's just dinner . No need to stoop to their level and ruin the mood . " I turned toward the mother - daughter duo , whose faces were now contorted with frustration . " I have a few words I'd like to discuss privately with the two of you ." Then to Thorbane , I added , " You go on to the private room first ." He glanced at me , clearly a little uneasy , but then nodded . I wasn't the helpless girl I used to be . With a look to the manager , he followed the man away . The moment the door closed behind him , Slyvana dropped all pretense and snapped right back to her arrogant , overbearing self . She crossed her arms and let out a cold snort , sitting down with a smirk . " Well , at least you know your place . Leslie Rogue , I don't care what kind of high branch you think you've latched onto - Crimson Moon Pack doesn't give a damn . My brother Kirby never wanted you , and he never will . I'm telling you now - if I say the word , I can have you blacklisted from all of Central City . " I looked down at her like she was a clown putting on a show - my expression indifferent and cold . " Oh ? Is that so ? And what exactly do you want ? " Slyvana raised her chin , eyes gleaming with malice and insult . " Here's what : pour me a drink , kneel down , hand it to me , and apologize - just like you used to do back when you were serving me in our house . If you do it well enough , maybe I'll be kind enough to let you off the hook today . " She really thought I was still that weak Omega she used to push around ? How laughably stupid . My face showed no anger - instead , a faint smile curved my lips . I walked forward slowly , picked up the decanter , and poured a glass of deep red moonberry wine with calm , practiced case . Then I carried the glass over to her . Slyvana's mouth curled into a triumphant smirk as she reached out to take it . But just as her fingers were about to touch the glass , I flipped my wrist- Splash ! The entire glass of deep red wine poured over her , soaking her carefully styled hair and expensive dress without spilling a single drop on the floor . 1/2 13:07 Mon , Sep 15 But I moved faster . One hand slammed down on her shoulder , pinning her to the chair with Alpha strength she couldn't even resist . With the other hand , I shoved her forehead back , forcing her face up as she flailed . I leaned in close , my icy stare locking with her furious , terrified eyes , and said in a voice as cold as the deepest winter abyss : " Slyvana Crimson Moon - remember this . I , Leslie Rogue , was the one who ended the bond with Kirby . I was the one who left Crimson Moon Pack . Next time you open your mouth to insult me , I'll make sure you're the one who's run out of Central City ." I released her then , stepping back to admire the pitiful mess she'd become - soaked in wine and shaking with rage . I smiled faintly , turned , and walked away without a second glance - head high , like a queen . Behind me , I could hear her shrieking in fury , Belle's enraged curses , and the frantic voices of restaurant staff . None of it mattered anymore . When I entered the private room , Thorbane looked up and frowned slightly . " Handled ? " I nodded , sat down across from him , picked up the menu , and replied with a relaxed tone , " Mm . Just dealt with a couple of fleas . Come on , let's order . I've really been wanting to try the Snowfield Venison here . " Send Gifts 128 Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
