Chapter 148 A Wolf’s Game

    Leslie’s POV

    I got a call from the Frost Pack Alpha.

    That surprised me a little.

    Just a few words, and I immediately understood what he meant.

    Perfect timing.

    I didn’t want that piece ofnd tying up my hands anyway… I couldn’t wait to get rid of it.

    Kirby had the guts to make this kind of move?

    I had to admit—I was starting to see him in a new light.

    I agreed right away. It had nothing to do with personal ties.

    From a Pack standpoint, buying that territory for fifty billion made no financial sense.

    The entire handover process went incredibly smoothly.

    Unexpectedly, Eric was thest to find out.

    Once that was settled, I finally felt like I could breathe again.

    I was in a great mood when I happily agreed to Astrid’s invitation to hit the central city’s luxury auto expo.

    The moment I stepped into the showroom, one sports car immediately caught my eye–Ster Tear.

    It sat on the central tform, that aerodynamic body gleaming under the lights with the signature cold sheen of Star–Iron. It looked more like a work of art than a vehicle.

    This wasn’t just transportation–it was a status symbol.

    Even among the elite of the capital, there were very few who could afford it.

    I couldn’t help walking closer, lightly brushing the cold surface with my fingers. I smiled and said to Astrid, “This car’s gorgeous. Honestly, it belongs in my garage.”

    My tone was half joking, but my mind was already calcting whether I could take this beauty

    home.

    Astrid tugged at the corner of her mouth, teasing, “Your Majesty, you’re really getting cocky

    now.”

    I was just about to fire back when a voice called out behind me–familiar, but not wee.

    “How much for this car? I’ll take it.”

    I froze, turning around–and sure enough, there stood Lyana, with Slyvana right beside bher/b.

    Lyana was dressed in a sharply tailored ck suit, her presence cold andmanding.

    Slyvana stood slightly behind her, her presence much weaker inparison, but she was staring at me with open provocation and a smug smile that she didn’t bother to hide.

    I raised an eyebrow. Not surprising.

    Smoke Pack and Crimson Moon Pack were clearly allied now. That Lyana would know Slyvana wasn’t shocking.

    But for her to actually get along with that bratty, spoiled little princess?

    Now that was impressive.

    “So it’s the Alpha of Smoke Pack.”

    bI /bsmiled slightly, my tone calm with a hint of probing. “You’ve got your eye on this car?”

    Lyana’s lips curved, her gaze flickering slightly like she was hiding something. “Yeah. The moment I saw it, I knew I had to have it. Didn’t expect the Queen of Rogue Pack to be interested too.”

    Before I could say anything, Slyvana jumped in, her tone sharp.

    “Leslie hasn’t paid yet, right? That means it’s still up for grabs. Why should anyone get first dibs? Alphapetition has always been survival of the fittest.”

    Her eyes glittered with challenge–clearly hoping to see me humiliated.

    I nced at her, unbothered.

    After everything I’ve crushed her with, she still dares to mouth off? She must be feeling bold with bLyana /bbacking her up.

    The bsales /brep nearby spoke up awkwardly.

    “That’s not a problem. Everything has a price.”

    Lyana cut him off smoothly, still smiling. But her eyes never left me.

    “Since you’re the host of this city, Rogue Packdy, I trust you won’t be so petty as topete with a visiting Alpha?”

    Her words were polite. Her smile was not.

    There was a de behind it, sharp and pointed.

    My heart sank a little.

    Hostility?

    Lyana and I had no real history. Where was all this heating from?

    But I wasn’t stupid. The provocation in her tone couldn’t be clearer.

    I narrowed my eyes slightly, kept my smile steady, and let my mind start to turn.

    Lyana, what kind of game are you ying?
