Burn in the Alpha Princess's Wrath novel Chapter 132

Chapter 132 Not Coming

Malach’s POV

I walked into Alpha’s office with difficulty.

:

“Alpha, Miss Leslie’s assistant passed along birthday wishes, but…”

“What?”

Alpha’s eyes darkened. He was clearly displeased.

“Oh, there’s been an issue with the ‘Stardust‘ project, the one overseas under Rogue Pack’s Westview HQ. Miss Leslie had to fly out to handle it personally. She’s already left the country…”

I paused and glanced up. That excuse was… honestly, a little lazy.

“Got it.”

Kirby’s voice was low and heavy. I could feel his heart drop straight to the floor and shatter on impact.

She wasn’t coming.

Hadn’t she already said so?

They weren’t even friends. Why would she come to his birthday party?

Leiss‘ POV

That night, a bunch of us brothers showed up at the high–end private club we’d booked. The whole place was shut down for the night–no outsiders allowed.

For Kirby’s birthday, the event had to be grand enough.

Everyone gathered and the party quickly picked up. But Kirby sat silently in a corner, nursing his drink. He looked like he didn’t belong there at all.

I walked over with a glass in hand and clinked it lightly against his.

“Happy birthday, Kirby.”

He didn’t even look up. He downed his drink in one go. His eyes were so deep they seemed to have no bottom.

“She didn’t come.”

His voice was cold.

I froze. I instantly knew who he meant.

Thinking fast, I threw an arm around his shoulder. “Maybe she just couldn’t bring herself to show

1. up.

I mean, with everything that’s happened between you two, it’d be awkward for her to act like nothing’s wrong. She’s got her pride too, you know? But I bet she’ll give you her gift

tomorrow.”

I was sure of it. No way I’d gotten it wrong.

Leslie used to like Kirby that much–how could she not know his taste in watches? That watch she bought had to be for him. No question.

“Hey, isn’t that Leslie?” someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

Kirby shot to his feet like lightning and strode straight for the entrance.

I sighed and followed behind.

But when we got there, no one was around.

“Why the hell are you shouting like that?” I snapped at the guy who caused all the commotion.

He flinched, especially when he saw Kirby’s dark expression. Awkwardly, he pulled out his phone.

“My friend just sent me a video. Leslie’s at their party…”

Before he could finish, Kirby snatched the phone from his hand.

The video showed a group of men and women dancing together. Off to the side, a few others were drinking. Leslie stood there holding a glass of wine, smiling as she watched the dancers.

Everyone was dressed elegantly and extravagantly. Leslie’s ornate evening gown made her stand out even more–so dazzling it was hard to look away.

Sitting near her were Eric and Astrid.

“Where is this?”

Kirby’s voice was ice–cold,

The guy immediately replied, “Oh, it’s a new bar that just opened…”

Kirby’s breathing turned heavy.

What overseas trip?

That was pure bullshit.

:

Just an excuse not to show up to his birthday party.

Finished

Malach happened to pass by. Kirby glanced at him, tossed the phone back to the guy, and said coldly, “You’re not getting your bonus this month.”

I glanced at Malach. Poor guy really didn’t do anything.

Everyone else at the party had a blast–except for the birthday boy.

Kirby left midway. No one even knew why.

I followed him to the newly opened bar.

By the time we got there, Leslie’s group had already cleared out.
