Under the pretense of treatment , I arranged for her to be sent to a secluded Pack sanatorium far in the northernmost territory . She cried and begged , trying once again to use Jake's name to stir up my guilt , but my mind was made up . Her lies and stupidity had already brought far too much trouble and shame to Crimson Moon Pack . Lance agreed completely - her presence was a dangerous liability . But even after sending her off , I felt no relief . The strength , coldness , and veiled threat Leslie had shown at Glory Hall still haunted me . The look in her eyes when she shoved Liana into the pool , the way she poured that wine over her without flinching ... That wasn't the Leslie I knew . She never was the person you thought she was , Kirby , Lance murmured in my mind , with a strange mix of weariness and ... fear ? We were both fooled . News of Leslie's appointment as Governor of Rogue Pack's Western Border spread quickly among the Packs . Promoted out of nowhere ? Hah . Looks like Thorbane Rogue really does favor that woman . I hadn't been paying much attention to her movements within RoguePack - until today , when Slyvana suddenly called me : " Kirby ! I got bullied - come quick , I'm at Moon Cafe ! " The moment I heard that , I got up and rushed out the door , driving straight to Moon Cafe . I didn't like Slyvana much , but she was still a Crimson Moon werewolf - my sister . I wasn't about to let someone else push her around . As I arrived outside the restaurant and was about to get out of the car , Slyvana burst through the doors like she'd just seen her savior . She grabbed my arm and pointed at Leslie , who had just walked out . " It was her ! Kirby , it was all Leslie Rogue , that bitch ! She's the one who embarrassed me ! Mom can vouch for it ! " Her hair was a mess , her expensive dress stained with what was clearly red wine . She did look pathetic . I frowned and looked toward Leslie , who stood beside Thorbane , her face as cold and distant as 1/2 13:07 Mon , Sep 15 She noticed me looking - but didn't react . She just took Thorbane's hand and turned to leave . What had she done to Slyvana this time ? A flare of anger lit in my chest . I knew Slyvana and Mother had always clashed with her , but Leslie ... had she gone too far this time ? Especially in public ? I strode forward , and just as she was about to pass by , I reached out and grabbed her arm . Her skin was smooth and cool - like silk chilled over ice . " Leslie Rogue ! You owe us an explanation ! " I stared at her , searching her clear but frosty eyes for any trace of the woman I once knew . All I saw was distance - and mockery . She looked up at me , let out a faint scoff , and said in an indifferent tone , " I did it . What's there to explain ? " She admitted it - just like that ?! She started to pull away , unconcerned , as if brushing off a bit of dust . That total disregard set me off . Lance roared inside me , and the Alpha instinct to dominate made me tighten my grip without thinking . I felt her body stiffen . She turned her head slowly toward me , her beautiful eyes now frosted with a quiet chill and a clear warning . " Kirby Alpha . Are you trying to punish me for her ? " " Kirby ! Don't let her go ! That b * tch dared lay hands on me ! You can't just let her off that easy ! " Slyvana shrieked at my side , trying to stir the flames . I looked at her , my fury wrestling with reason . I took a deep breath , forcing the heat back down , and asked her with a frown , " What do you want ? " Slyvana instantly perked up , a twisted smile curling at her lips as she looked triumphantly at Leslie . " Make Leslie Rogue lick my shoes !
