The Milky Way hung across the sky like a dark, flowing current, stars twinkling faintly in the hush of night.

Slyvana stood just a few paces behind me, wearing a look of innocent sweetness, her voice soft and docile like a harmless Omega. “Leslie, if you think about it, you and my brother actually make a good match. You’re from the same kind of family, equal in status. Even our father’s beginning to accept you. Are you really saying you feel nothing for him?”

I turned slightly, frost creeping into my eyes, though my lips curved in a cool, distant smile. “Did you misunderstand something? What makes you think I’d be a match for your brother?”

She blinked, caught off guard for a second, then hurried to respond. “You’re the princess of Rogue Pack now. The only heir. With your standing, how are you not a match?”

I let out a derisive scoff, my disdain crystal clear. “You got it all wrong. What I meant was–how could Crimson Moon Pack ever be worthy of standing beside Rogue Pack?”

Asphodel cackled in my head. “That’s right, Leslie! Where does this little hyena get the nerve to compare herself to us?”

Slyvana’s face froze, her smile cracking. A glint of venom flared in her eyes.

She stood rigid behind me, eyes boring into my back like she wanted to tear me apart.

I knew she couldn’t swallow that insult. A Crimson Moon alpha’s daughter–when had she ever been humiliated like that?

Suddenly, her voice rose with exaggerated alarm. “Leslie, what’s that on your back?!”

Before the words even finished leaving her mouth, she lunged–hands aiming straight for my back! Asphodel roared inside me. “She’s trying to push you! Leslie, take her out!”

But I’d been ready.

I twisted sharply just in time.

Slyvana missed, her momentum sending her barreling toward the railing.

The unstable barrier gave way instantly, collapsing without resistance. She shrieked, eyes wide with terror as her body pitched over the edge.

I stood still, watching coldly.

Asphodel growled, thrilled. Serves her right. Let her fall and break something.

But the second before she plunged, I darted forward and grabbed her by the back of her dress, yanking her up midair.

Her gown tore under the strain, leaving her dangling and disheveled, exposed and humiliated.

“Slyvana,” I said, voice light but ice–cold. “Were you trying to push me just now?”

Her face went pale with panic. She opened her mouth to deny it, but I arched a brow and cut her off. “Lie, and I let go.”

“Yes! I’m sorry! I’m sorry, Leslie, I was wrong…” she stammered, voice shaking, eyes full of fear.

gave a small tug, fabric tearing again with an audible rip. She screamed, thinking I’d dropped her—but I didn’t. I just smiled faintly, savoring her terror. “You admitted it yourself. You deserved this.”

Slyvana screamed for help. “Someone help me—!”

I didn’t stop her.

Soon, the noise drew a crowd.

Leiss came running, horrified. “Oh my god, that’s gonna give me a heart attack!”

I sneered, glancing at her ripped dress. “Your skirt’s torn to shreds. That desperate to show off?”

Slyvana clung to what she could, hands scrambling for the railing, but it was useless.

She stared at me with burning hatred, humiliated and furious, like she’d tear me apart if she could.
