It made me think of the last time-when she had given me money instead. If you asked us ten years ago, who would've thought two rivals in love could stand together and talk calmly like this? She choked up as she spoke. "Take it back. This money will be confiscated the moment I return to the pack." Large teardrops fell to the ground from Elisa's face. Honestly, I had never hated her-we were both victims, after all. And the true abuser, Leno, was still living well. ---- "Flora, I'm sorry. I don't even know if I'll live to see you again. I want to apologize for how ignorant and cruel I once was." "you're not the one who needs to apologize to me. You were just another victim too." Did Leno really think that blaming everything on another she-wolf made him innocent? I shook my head in resignation and turned to leave. I didn't see the flash of cold fierceness that suddenly appeared in Elisa's lifted gaze. The next morning, my Beta suddenly sent me a message. I received the most satisfying news I'd heard in the past ten years. "Alpha Leno was poisoned to death by Elisa!"
