Chapter 252 A Guard at the Door

Leslie’s POV

I went back to my room and locked the door.

Turning on the communicator, I video chatted with Astrid and Amala. They chattered away, gossiping about the latest news on the Pack’s network. Their laughter and banter went on late into the night, finally easing some of the disgust I’d been carrying inside me.

At the same time, I could faintly sense Kirby’s Alpha presence from the study next door- steady, cold, and sharp with the focus of someone handling official work.

It wasn’t until after midnight that his aura finally grew tinged with fatigue.

I heard the faint rolling of wheels. He must have left the study and was heading toward my

room.

But I wasn’t worried.

Sure enough, the wheelchair stopped right outside my door.

I could almost picture the look on Kirby’s face when he saw the sight waiting for him.

My bodyguard, Shane, had set up camp right in front of my room–literally sleeping on the floor.

His setup was complete: a military–grade sleeping bag and mat, practical and efficient, exactly what the army would use. Simple, convenient, and blocking my door entirely.

Kirby’s deep Alpha voice carried a heavy authority as he asked, “Did the servants forget to prepare you a guest room?”

Shane’s reply was steady and flat, laced with that unmistakable Gamma toughness.

“I’m not a guest. I’m the princess’s bodyguard. Wherever she is, I’ll be there. I need to go in and make sure she’s resting.”

Kirby’s voice turned colder, his meaning clear: he wanted Shane to move aside,

“The princess is already resting.”

Shane didn’t budge.

“You get to decide that?”

There were a few seconds of silence, then Shane said, “Alpha Lars gave strict orders. Unless the princess comes out on her own, no one is allowed inside.”

What followed was a long stretch of quiet, and then the sound of wheels rolling away in resignation.

I couldn’t help but press a hand to my mouth and laugh. Watching Kirby lose ground always felt satisfying.

The night passed fitfully for me, but at least morning came when I opened my eyes.

Right on time, there was a knock on my door.

I gave a short “Mm” to show I was awake, and Shane stopped knocking.

After getting ready, I went downstairs.

Kirby was already seated at the table, and his eyes lit up when he saw me.

“Good morning, Leslie.”

I nodded, heels clicking as I walked over, and asked casually, “Did you sleep well last night?”

I caught the complicated, aggrieved glance he shot at Shane behind me.

“No.”

Shane’s mouth twitched, his fierce features tightening even more with suppressed irritation.

Meeting his gaze, I feigned concern. “Your legs haven’t healed. It’s normal if you don’t sleep well. Don’t worry about it.”

Kirby was left speechless.

The maid came out of the kitchen, carefully placing the dishes one by one,

“Leslie, these are all your favorites. Are you… satisfied?”

She looked at me nervously.

The spoon in my hand instantly dropped back onto the table. Ignoring her words, I acted as if 1 had suddenly remembered something.

“I forgot to give you your medicine last night…”

Kirby’s lips twitched, his beautiful eyes locking onto mine.

“Your mistake. How do you plan to make it up to me?”

O

Unhurried, I went to fetch the medicine box. Without even looking, I grabbed a random handful of colorful pills and handed them to him.

“Here. Make up for it.”

Kirby froze for a moment, then calmly accepted them and swallowed everything in one gulp with water.

He didn’t even check what I had given him.

I smiled, picked up my bag, and stood. “I’m going to work. Goodbye.”

“Eat something before you go?”

His voice was patient, coaxing.

I waved him off. “My brother brought me something delicious.”

With that, I left without looking back, Shane guarding me closely as I walked out of the suffocating place.
