“No, I am good,” Daran said coldly without hesitation.
A lot of the maids looked disappointed.
Why did he reject them? Were they not pretty enough?
Some of them even bent their back on purpose to show off their cleavages.
“Daran, you are hurting these poor girls‘ hearts.” Lance chuckled, “What is the matter? Are they not
good enough for you? Because I know there are some prettier girls in the palace. Just say the word
and I will have them delivered to you.”
Daran frowned.
“What is this obsession of yours to keep sending women to me?” He said impatiently. “I already told
you. I don’t want them.”
Lance laughed, “Don’t get me wrong, brother. I just want to make sure you have everything that you
need here. Come on, how long has it been since you last had a woman? Even that girl in the nightclub–
you just danced with her and that was it. What is the matter?”
Janet’s heart skipped a beat hearing Lance say that.
Daran didn’t sleep with all those women?
But… But she thought that he was having crazy fun here.
Why did he turn down all those girls?
While she was thinking about that, Lance voiced out her question for her:
“Daran, is it because you are still in love with another woman?“–
The room lapsed into a deathly silence.
Everyone was looking at Daran, holding their breath, waiting for him to answer.
Even Harper had stopped fiddling with her earrings and stared at Daran instead. The furrow between
Daran’s brows grew deeper.
He looked reluctant to answer.
Seeing his reaction, Lance chuckled, “Then let me make a wild guess here. The woman that you are
still in love with…is it Janet?”
All eyes darted to Janet in unison.
Janet clenched her fists and felt her palms sweating.
“Where are you going with this?” Daran asked icily.
“Well, I just think there is a slight issue here…if you are still in love with Janet. She is our enemy. I am
afraid that hanging out with her may get you to change your mind again and she might tempt you to go
back to Riverside Pack.”
Daran raised an eyebrow.
Then he slowly turned around to face Janet.
There were many strong and heavy emotions looming in his gorgeous eyes.
The way he stared at her right now… made Janet’s heartrate fasten.
Daran slowly opened his mouth and said, “I-”
“He is not in love with me.”
Janet beat him to it and spoke up first.
Her heart was racing inside of her chest. She gulped, calming herself down, and looked to Lance.
“Maybe he has a woman that he loves but that is not me. We are ancient history already. And…And I
don’t love him either. There is no feeling between us,” she said firmly.
Everyone in the room was stunned.
And there was a brief moment of awkward silence.
Lance first burst out laughing, “Oh my god. You hear that, Daran? She rejected you–in front of
everyone’s face! How cruel…and you are going to let her do that to you?”
Daran’s face was dark
He glared at Janet, the muscle under his right eye slightly twitching because of rage.
He looked like he wanted to thread Janet into pieces with his paws. Janet’s heart was thumping like
crazy against her chest.
She dodged his gaze nervously and looked down at her feet.
She was lying.
She knew that Daran still had feelings for her.
And there was a small part of her that still cared for him.
But this was wrong…They could never go back.
Might as well just deny it and move on.
After a long pause, Daran spoke up icily, “I have probably been too nice to you…to let you think that
you have the right to reject me.”
Janet bit her lips in silence, saying nothing.
“That is right, Janet. You don’t get to say no to your master.” Harper sneered. “You are a maid now…a Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
lowly fucking slave. Any guards, servants, or staff in this palace. can take you to bed, whenever and
wherever they want. You should realize that by now already.”
The crowd jeered.
Lance rubbed his chin and said, “But Janet is a beautiful woman. I can tell why you are still interested
in her body. If that is the case-”
“No.”
Daran cut him off icily, “I have no interest in that disrespectful woman. Her sole presence disgusts me.”
Janet’s body trembled involuntarily.
Her wolf made a sad little growl internally.
Harper jumped in and said excitedly, “Well, in that case, you should allocate her to me! I will surely
teach her how to behave around the masters. Not to flatter myself, but I am pretty good at training
slaves.”
“I can train my own slave,” Daran said in a freezing tone. “And…You.”
He pointed at a pretty maid standing in the corner.
“You are coming into my room tonight,” he ordered.
The maid widened her eyes in excitement, her face turning red.
She couldn’t believe that she was this lucky!
All her companions looked at her in jealousy.
“Well, nice.” Lance beamed, “Have fun, my brother. I still see you later.”
Daran turned and walked to the door. The pretty maid that he chose hurried to follow.
When they got to the door, Daran jerked around and snapped at Janet:
“Hustle. You should get the door for your master.”
Janet breathed, controlling her temper.
She walked over and pulled the door open for them.
Daran didn’t say a single word on their way back to the suite.
As soon as he got into the room, he walked to the couch and sat down, his face stone.
cold.
Daran said nothing. He sat there, perfectly still, like a marble statue.
The maid pouted in frustration.
She climbed up to his knees and wrapped her arms around his neck.
“Master…my feet hurt,” she said in a sweet, seductive voice. “Can you rub my ankle. for me?
Daran averted his gaze and looked to Janet, who was still standing by the door in silence.
“We have a slave who can do that for you,” he said.
The maid bit her lips.
It was not exactly what she was aiming for. But fine.
“You!” she beckoned to Janet, “Come and rub my feet.”
Janet took in a deep breath and walked up to them.
She knelt down before the maid and put her feet on her lap.
Then she started rubbing the maid’s right foot.
Janet let out a light little snort.
“I didn’t get these calluses from house chores,” she said.
The maid giggled, “Then what? Heavy lifting? Wood chopping?”
“Sword, gun, and martial arts training.”
Janet raised her head and looked at the maid’s horrified face.
“I have killed many rogues with this pair of hands.”
She chuckled and added some pressure to the maid’s angle, “…you can feel it, don’t you?”
