Chapter 145
Janet stood on her spot, frozen.
Everyone had been telling her that she would find her second chance mate soon. She didn’t believe it.
Yet here she was, standing face to face with her second chance mate, at a most unexpected space
and timing.
The second chance mate worked very differently from the first–time mating.
They would be able to recognize each other’s scent, but the mate bond would not be active till they
both recognized each other as their mate.
So both Janet and Westin had a chance to decide whether they wanted this person as their mate or
not.
“…What a pleasant surprise.”
Westin walked up to Janet in one long stride and looked down at her with a charming

So both Janet and Westin had a chance to decide whether they wanted this person as their mate or

What a pleasant surprise.”
Westin walked up to Janet in one long stride and looked down at her with a charming
smile.
His thick eyelashes fluttered, underneath which was a set of deep blue eyes.
“My mate is you, Alpha Daran’s rejected Luna.” he chuckled. “That is something beyond my wildest
dream.
Janet frowned.
The guy was charming for sure.
But she didn’t like the way he referred to her as “Daran’s rejected Luna.”
She hated to be known for that.
“Stop calling me that.”
Janet said freezingly and took a step back, putting some safe distance between them. The smile on
Westin’s lips became wider, his dimples standing out.
“My apology.”
He put his right hand on his chest and bowed to her, which may seem a bit too dramatic if other people
did it, but he had a way to make it seem natural.
“Of course, you are more than that,” he smiled: “I also know that you are Blood Moon Pack’s princess,
Alpha Casper’s sister. If you hate to be defined by titles, I also know that you are an extraordinary
Gamma.”
Janet stared at him, “Do you sweet talk to the woman you just met like that?”
Westin laughed, “No. Of course not! But we are mates. So that is different.”
He reached out a hand, his palm facing up, an inviting gesture.
“Shall we recognize each other as mates right now?” he asked politely.
Janet narrowed her eyes.
Slowly, she lifted her arm.
Westin thought she was going to give him her hand. So he stepped in, closing the gap in between.
Yet the pleasant smile froze on his lips the next second.
A dagger was pressed against his throat, the steel glinting icily in the darkness.
His smile faded away. His face became expressionless.
This man looked very intimidating with that casual smile.
“Threatening your mate with a dagger? Really?” he asked flatly.
Janet held the hilt tightly.
“Why did you draw the other soldiers away?” she hissed. “Who are you? And what are you up to?
Before you give me a clear answer, this blade will stay on your fucking neck.”
Westin chuckled, his body slightly shaking with that laugh. The sharp blade cut open
the surface of his skin, some blood oozing out.
But he didn’t back away from her and the dagger.
He leaned in instead, looking deep into her eyes.
“My name is Westin. Westin Lawson,” he said.
His sexy, husky voice sent a shiver down her spine. Yet she ignored that strange feeling.
“And?” she demanded.
“And I report to Lady Morgana,” Westin shrugged. “I know that you plan to escape. the city tonight. That
plan seems to fall apart now. But I don’t want the Rogue King’s
men to catch you first. So I draw them away. If you want, I can take you to meet with Morgana and you
can figure out your next move with her.”
So this was Morgana’s guy?
Janet checked him up.
Morgana did say that she had told some of her most trusted men about the plan. But Janet didn’t know
who those men were.
After a long pause, she withdrew the dagger.
“Can you help me to get out of the city?” she asked.
“Sadly, no. You caused too much noise, and all the gates are secured now.”
Janet nodded.
She knew the hope was slim.
“Take me to Morgana then.”
She stuck the dagger back to her belt and said to Westin with a threatening tone, “Don’t fuck with me
on the way though. It will only take me 1 second to slit your throat.”
Westin laughed, his shoulders shaking.
“I wouldn’t dare.”
He pulled the door open for her, “After you, my mate.”
Janet turned to Dora, who was looking at her with a concerned look.
“Are you going to be alright?” Dora asked worriedly..
“Yes. I will be fine. Thank you for helping me again.”
“No problem…and I am sorry about my fiancé going to the court and testifying,” Dora bit her lips. “He
didn’t check with me first. He was just crazy about the money. that the King promised him.”
“Where is he now?” Janet asked.
“His legs were all broken after the flogging. And I dumped him. He is not my fiancé anymore.”
“Great job,” Janet smiled.
She wished Dora the best of luck and left the house with Westin.
The chilling night wind made her shiver slightly.
A thick jacket landed on her shoulder the next second, still carrying Westin’s warm body temperature.
“Put it on,” Westin said.
“I don’t need-”
Westin cut her off, “My jacket can help to cover parts of your scent. Your crazy ex is still searching for
you all over the city. You wouldn’t want him to track you down following your scent.”
Janet lapsed into silence.
She could hear some distant wolf howls echoing in the night sky. She knew that it was Daran.
“Thanks.” she zipped the zipper.
Westin smiled. His dimples appeared again.
“This way,” he took the lead and walked down the empty street.
Westin knew the city even better than she did.
They took back alleys and shortcuts and successfully stayed away from the soldiers who were still
searching for her.
15 minutes later, they arrived at a small courtyard.
Janet saw Morgana standing under a plane tree.
“Janet!”
Morgana gasped and rushed forward to hug her, “Fuck, you didn’t get away. OK. But
where is Casper?”
“I shoved him out before the gate closed up. Where is Kass? Is he alright?” Janet asked urgently.
“Yeah…”
Morgana said reluctantly, “It just occurred to me that…Westin might be a fake
“What?” Janet rounded her eyes, “How so? I thought he was your most trusted guy!”
“And?” Janet pursued eagerly.
Janet stood stiffly on her spot, feeling a creeping chill.
More and more mysteries…
So who was Westin really?
“Yeah…”
Morgana said reluctantly, “It just occurred to me that…Westin might be a fake identity.”
“What?” Janet rounded her eyes, “How so? I thought he was your most trusted guy!”
“He climbed the rank just recently. I didn’t know that he existed 2 months ago. And when he caught my
attention, I pulled out his file and did some background checks
on him…”
“And?” Janet pursued eagerly.
