Chapter 406 Trouble Below

Leslie’s POV

For the sake of the breakfast, I decided not to pick a fight with him today.

Funny thing was, without me and Kirby in the frame, today’s shoot actually ran smoother.

On camera, everyone was cooperative, laughter flowing easily.

Only one thing caught me off guard the flicker of flirtation between Cynthia and Carl.

When they leaned close, her sweet Omega pheromones wound around his scent in the air.

So that’s why she didn’t go after Kirby last night? She’s into this type instead? Interesting.

By late morning, the shoot wrapped up smoothly and Michael was about to call a break.

“Mate, where are you…” Suddenly a noisy commotion rose outside, mixed with guards‘ low growls trying to block someone.

“You can’t come in-

“Get out of my way!”

Leiss burst in, his expression tense.

When he saw who was inside, he exhaled in relief, smiling as he strode forward. “Mate, what are you doing here? Switching careers to be an actor?”

Michael recognized Leiss and waved the guards back.

Kelly’s face went pale for a second, then she lowered her head coldly. “Please leave.”

Leiss’s face stiffened but he forced a smile. “Filming is exhausting. Come home. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you. From now on, you make the rules at home – isn’t that enough?”

He ignored the eyes around him, ignored his own pride.

A Beta of the Crimson Moon Pack who’d been humiliated at a public ceremony – everyone knew about it. And now he still wouldn’t give up. It was almost pathetic.

Kelly wasn’t touched in the slightest. In fact, there was a glint of amusement at the corner of her mouth. “Leiss, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. That’s your home, not mine.”

Leiss hesitated a few seconds, voice softening into a plea. “I just want a word with you. One

Kelly clearly didn’t want to give him that chance. But then Kirby, who’d been silent, stood and spoke. “Everyone take a break. We’ll continue this afternoon.”

His mint pheromones rolled out like a tide, carrying the undeniable weight of an Alpha’s command.

At once, everyone started wrapping up what they were doing.

Michael’s Beta scent leaked a trace of wounded resentment, like prey forgotten in the corner.

Leiss threw Kirby a grateful look.

Asphodel rolled its eyes in my head. These two wolves from the Crimson Moon Pack really are cut from the same cloth.

I glanced at Kirby wordlessly but politely turned to Kelly. “Need any help?”

Leiss’s expression froze. Kelly hesitated three seconds, then smiled faintly. “No. Let me handle it. I’ll come back to the hotel later.”

I felt her pheromones settle again, like a lake smoothing out after a gust.

I nodded, gathered my things, and left.

Asphodel clearly found the whole Leiss–Kelly mess fascinating; on the way back it kept muttering. That Beta’s scent reeks of loser’s desperation. Hope Kelly doesn’t soften.

No one knew what would happen between them. By the time I got back to the hotel, I dove into work.

The afternoon stretched ahead, but the Rogue Pack had urgent issues – Thorbane had sent a video: a small group of wild wolves had entered the forest border of our ancestral lands. Father’s order was still undecided

I argued over video calls, Asphodel cutting in now and then. Rip those mangy wildlings apart. Why

Two hours later, I ended the call, stretched, and planned to ask room service for something to

deer soup, preferably, to calm Asphodel’s restlessness.

But before I could make the call, the doorbell rang sharply, and at the same time my phone

buzzed.
