Chapter 148
Janet was locked in this very room.
She lost all freedom.
Her door was guarded by armed soldiers.
A couple of maids stayed in the room all day, keeping a close eye on her. She tried to ask them to
leave but failed.
Her every move was monitored.
And Daran would not let anyone visit her.
Morgana came to visit once, but she was asked to leave by the guards. Morgana threw a large temper
tantrum but even that couldn’t get the guards to open up the door for her.
This very room became an isolated island. She was completely cut off from anyone that she knew.
Daran was always out during the day. But he would come back at night, no matter how late it was.
He would climb up to her bed and pull her into his arms forcefully.
Janet tried to push him away. But he seized her hand and threatened her in a dark voice, “You would
not want me to handcuff you to the bed. So behave.”
So Janet could only let him hug her to sleep.
Then she was haunted by horrible nightmares in her sleep.
She was getting more and more anxious by the day.
How long would this kind of life last? Would Daran lock her here forever to keep her away from her
friends?
It was crazy…but sounded like something that Daran would do.
She tried to save herself by going on a hunger strike.
She figured that if she starved herself ill, Daran would have no choice but to let her out and take her to
the hospital.
On the way to the hospital, she would find a chance and escape.
Yet on the second day of her hunger strike, Daran came back to the room early.

He tossed his coat to the couch and looked down at her coldly with his arms crossed:
“The maid told me that you refused to eat.
Janet sat on the floor and gazed into the distance through the window.
She had made up her mind not to say a single word to him.
Daran let out a cold snort, “Are you planning on running away again? For your second chance mate?”
Janet gave him a cold shoulder, saying nothing.
Daran picked up a plate of sandwiches and walked up to her.
“Eat,” he ordered.
Janet raised her head and glared at him..Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The hatred in her eyes was so obvious that it stung him.
Daran got down on one knee and met her eye level.

“If you keep doing this, I can’t promise what will happen to Morgana, Kass, or that piece of shit Westin,”
he warned darkly.
Janet widened her eyes in rage, “…You won’t!”
He laughed icily, “You accused me of being a heartless monster. Threatening you with your friends
sounds like something that I might do.”
That jerk!!!
They glared at each other with tension heating up the air.
After a long pause, Janet grabbed one slice of sandwich and took an angry bite.
Who knew what this monster was capable of?
Daran stared at her as she ate.
Yet weirdly, he didn’t seem so happy to see her cave in.
“You care about them very much.” he said darkly, “Which one of them do you care the most? Morgana?
Kass? Or Westin?”
Janet finished her sandwich and pushed the plate away.
“You get jealous a lot. You know that?” she snorted, “The list is quite long…Casper, Kass, Jared, and
now Westin.”
His eyes darkened, “Because a lot of men are crazy about you.”
A hint of vulnerability flickered across his eyes.
Yet Janet ignored that.
“Before, I would tell you that you have nothing to worry about because you are the only man I ever fell
in love with. But now…
She chuckled, in a dark and evil sort of way.
“Go ahead. Be jealous. Because I AM leaving you. No matter what you do, it won’t change the fact that
you will never have me back.”
Daran shot up abruptly
His fists were tightly clenched by his sides. Janet could tell that he was doing everything he could to
control his temper.
“If I can’t have you,” he said through gritted teeth. “then no one else can.”
He stormed out of the room.
Janet picked up the plate and smashed it against the wall.
She panted furiously.
She would not let Daran keep her here. She needed to get out! Fast.
Her determination was getting stronger than ever.
Now that the hunger strike turned out to be a dead end, Janet figured that she needed to contact her
friends first. Even if she could sneak out of this room, she needed help to escape the city.
Her phone was confiscated. Maids watched her during the day and then Daran took over by the night.
It seemed that there was absolutely nothing she could do.
Before Janet could figure out a doable plan, a group of soldiers came to bring her out
of there.
“The King asked to take her to the Counseling Hall.” Janet heard a voice saying to
the guards outside of the room.
The guards sounded reluctant, “But Alpha Daran clearly said that she stayed in this room no matter
what…”
“Last time I checked, Alpha Daran is not the King! Whose order do you follow?”
The guards paused for a few more moments and then opened the door.
At the end of the day, they were still rogues, Lance’s subjects.
A group of armed soldiers rushed in and handcuffed Janet.
They forcefully escorted her to the large hall where Lance questioned them about Danton’s death
before.
When she stepped in, Lance was sitting at the end of the long table, in his old seat.
Harper was by his side this time.
Her eyes gleamed evilly with joy when she saw Janet in handcuffs.
Janet soon understood what this was.
They were going to punish her for escaping the Grace Ruin the other night and killing a bunch of
soldiers.
“Gamma Janet.
Lance lifted the corner of his lips into a cold smile, “Alpha Daran did a good job at protecting you. I
asked to bring you to an open trial a couple of times already, but he rejected me firmly. You really
meant a lot to him.”
Jane taunted, “If you have a problem with the way he does things, maybe don’t bring him on board in
the first place.”
Lance’s lips twitched. He looked humiliated.
“Shut up, bitch!”
for the crime you committed. TODAY!”
Janet raised an eyebrow.
No wonder they waited till today to bring her out of the room.
It was because Daran was away
“So what crime are you talking about?” Janet asked defiantly.
“You killed 14 soldiers in one night. Remember?” Lance snorted.
“I had killed even more rogues on the battlefield. That is not my best strike number.”
Harper slammed the desk angrily and then rounded the table, rushing at Janet.
“But now you are in our hands, bitch!”
Harper grabbed Janet’s hair, forcing Janet to look up, her eyes filled with hatred and excitement.
She raised a hand.
“How is that golden tooth working for you?” Janet asked abruptly.
“You–You bitch! How dare you mention that again!”
“If you dare to slap me-”
Janet narrowed her eyes, which were slits of icy fury.
“-I will fucking bite your fingers off and you will have to replace your human fingers with golden ones.
So do it! Hit me. NOW!”
Harper’s hand froze in the air.
Intimidated by Janet’s aura, she took a small, shaky step back
Lance rested his chin on his hand and was enjoying the scene with a smile. “There is a room full of
soldiers, sweetie.” he smiled, “Let them help you.”
Harper’s eyes lit up excitedly.
She hastily turned to order those soldiers, “Hold her hands and body to the floor! And bring me an axe!
A sharp one!”
Two soldiers came to press Janet’s hands against the floor.
One rushed to get Harper’s axe.
With a sharp axe in her hand, Harper looked down at Janet’s anger–filled face and grinned:
“You bitched about me cutting off that whore Angelina’s hands for a long time. Now I am cutting yours
as well. Happy?”
Janet clenched her teeth.
She couldn’t break free from the soldiers. She couldn’t even shift.
She was going to lose her paws to Harper today!
Harper raised the axe above her head, her evil grin growing wider.
The axé fell, aiming at Janet’s hands!
