Chapter 141
Janet sprinted forward and reached out a hand to grab that innocent girl.
But she was too far away
She couldn’t make it!
Yet the expected explosive noise of the gunshot didn’t come, nor did she see any blood gushing out of
the girl.
The girl staggered back and fell right into Janet’s arms. She was so scared that she was on the verge
of passing out.
Janet held her and checked her again. No, she was fine. There was not a trace of wound and blood.
Janet jerked around and glared at Lance and Daran.
A furious growl escaped her gritted teeth, “…What the fuck!!!”
Daran’s hand dropped. He looked at Janet deeply and a hint of amazement flickered across his eyes.
Lance suddenly started to laugh. The angry and confused expression on Janet’s face seemed to have
amused him..
“Gamma Janet! You are right on time! Come and join the party!” he said playfully.
Janet ignored him.
Her eyes were fixed on Daran..
“…You shot her,” she said hoarsely.
Daran east a casual glance at the gun, “it is not loaded.”
“Yes, unloaded.” Lance chuckled. “Just a little test to see his resolution. You passed, by the way, my
friend,”
Janet clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her flesh.
“You pulled the trigger!” she cried, losing all control. “What if the gun has bullets in It? Are you perfectly
fine with killing an innocent woman?”
Daran said in an offhand voice, “She is a rogue. It is not a big deal.”
How was this not a big deal?
Janet glared at him in disbelief.
It was one thing to kill rogue soldiers on the battlefield.
But a totally different case to shoot at a civilian.”
They were warriors, not cold–blooded murderers.
…Or maybe Daran was.
A ruthless, cold–blooded murderer who was willing to do anything to achieve his goal
He was fine with slaughtering all rogues in the city of Grace Ruin to kill Lance. She talked him
of it. He gave up on that because he said that her feelings mattered
more.
But he certainly didn’t give a fuck about her feelings now.
He let her rot in the dungeon, beaten up by Harper daily, while he was out here hanging out with Lance,
dancing with strippers, shooting civilians for fun.
Maybe he never really cared about her.
If he did, he would not reject her in the first place.
She was just fooled by his sweet talks before.
Tears were welling in her eyes. But she quickly blinked them away.
No.
She wouldn’t cry.
Crying was weak.
She would not let herself look weak in front of Daran and Lance.
“Why did you betray us?” she asked word by word.
Daran narrowed his eyes darkly.
“You want to talk here?” he asked.
“Why not?” Janet gritted, “You had the audacity to turn against your own men. So you should have the
gut to say your reasons out loud.”
Lance laughed abruptly.
He leaned back in his seat and crossed his legs, looking relaxed.
“Well, go ahead, talk! Don’t mind us,” he giggled. “I am actually quite curious to hear.”
Annoyance flickered across Daran’s eyes.
“You already heard my reasons in the woods,” Daran said.
“So it is true?” Janet found herself trembling in rage. “Because he promised you power? He said he
could make you The King? What if he is lying?!”
Lance spread his hands, “Every word I said was true.”
“He will honor his promise. I will make sure of that,” Daran said flatly.
Janet felt light–headed.
The world started to spin around her. Everything felt so surreal.
They went so far as to put an end to this war, to kill the Rogue King, from Riverside Pack to Crimson This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Fortress, and then the Grace Ruin.
They had gone a long, exhausted way.
Yet
they failed at the last moment.
Because of Daran.
Because of a reason as ridiculous as that.
With hatred and sorrow washing over her body, Janet asked for the last time, “Even if this means losing
everything you have now?”
Daran looked back at her calmly.
“I will have everything back once I succeed…And even more,” he said.
Janet took a shaky step back.
Her heart was in so much pain that it felt as though somebody just stabbed her..
“Fine.”
She snapped, breathing harshly.
“But you won’t have me back. Never. From this point, we are officially enemies.” Daran’s face grew
dark
Before he could say anything, Lance suddenly burst into laughter.
“Don’t flatter yourself too much, Gamma Janet!” Lance cackled, “There is a room full of pretty girls here
for Daran to choose from. He can take any one of them to bed
tonight. You are really not his top choice!”
shut
up, Lance,” Daran said freezingly.
Yet Janet was done talking to them.
She turned and rushed to the entrance, feeling utterly humiliated.
Eventually, somebody caught up with her and grabbed her shoulder.
“Hey! Janet…Wait!”
It was Morgana, looking at her worriedly.
“I shouldn’t dress up for this,” she said lowly.
Morgana signed, “Don’t say this… You look gorgeous. He will regret it.”
Janet shook her head.
It was never about how she looked.
Daran just didn’t love her that much.
“I…I can’t believe this…”
“Our best Alpha is with the rogues now…I…What should I do?” she murmured.
She didn’t know how Casper and the other soldiers were right now.
They must be worried sick.
And how should she tell them that Daran had turned?
Without an Alpha, would Riverside Pack lapse into total chaos?
Everything was so fucked up.

Janet looked up at her, “…What?” “Run.” she said.
