Janet’s back became stiff.
Slowly, she turned around to face him.
You have been watching me the whole time?” she asked in a cold voice.
Westin gave her a crooked smile, “I didn’t want to stop you from your daily exercise.
You have slept for days. It is good to stretch out a bit.”
Janet suppressed the temptation to slap him, “Why did I circle back here? I ran straight ahead!”
“You thought you ran straight ahead. But the fog in these mountains had its own power. Outsiders are
bound to get lost. Only Lycans know the way around it.”
Janet bit her lips in frustration.

No wonder Westin untied her.
Now she couldn’t escape even if she managed to find a moment alone.
“Speaking of which-”
Westin caught her chin, raised her head up, and stared into her eyes, “Do you know that Daran just
became the Werewolf King?”
Janet was stunned, “What?”
“That is right. I just got a message back from my man, saying that he officially crowned himself earlier
today. You see. He doesn’t really care about you that much. Once you are gone, he simply can’t wait to
embrace his dear power.”
Janet’s heart rate quickened for a short moment.
But she quickly calmed herself down.
“You are wrong,” she said.
The cocky smile froze on Westin’s lips. ” How so?”
“Werewolf can’t track the Lycans. If Daran wants to find me, the only way is to become the Werewolf
King first. He didn’t do it for the power. He did it for me.‘ Westin’s face gradually darkened.
“You have a lot of confidence in him,” he snorted.
“Of course because he is the man I love-”
Westin tightened his grip on Janet’s chin abruptly.
“Do not say that you love him in front of me!” he hissed.
Janet stared back at him defiantly, “Why? The mighty Lycan King can’t handle at little truth?”
Just then, footsteps came from their backs.
A group of Lycans emerged from the mist. Standing up front was Edwin.
“My King,” Edwin said. “The elders and Lady Agnes are expecting you at the castle’s front gate-”
“Not now!” Westin growled.
Edwin held his head down low.
He and the other Lycans immediately drew back into the fog again.
“You should go,” Janet looked at him coldly. “Lady Agnes is waiting for you.”
Westin let go of her chin.
After a short pause, he spoke up in a business–like tone, “Let’s make a deal, Janet.”
“I am not interested in making any-”
‘You will hear me out,” he said forcefully. “When I bring you in front of the elders later, I expect you to
behave obediently. You will pretend that we are in love, and you
can’t wait for us to mate.”
Janet let out a loud, sarcastic laugh, “And why would I do that?”
“Because there is no escape for you, whatsoever,” Westin said grimly. “Work with me, you will have my
protection in the castle. Disobey me, I will leave you to be skinned alive by the Lycans. Let me warn
you–some of my people are not very fond of you werewolves.”
Janet narrowed her eyes.
She could tell that Westin’s threat was real.
And there was one thing that caught her attention particularly-
“Why do I need your protection in your own castle?” she asked.
Westin clicked his tongue but didn’t say anything.
Janet continued, “Let me guess, your home isn’t exactly a wonderland, is it?
Someone is a threat to you, right? Possibly…the elders?”
Westin crossed his arms, a defensive posture, “Do you have to be such a know–it–all
the whole time?”
“When my life is in danger, I prefer to stay on top of things.”
He let out a short laugh, “I will fill you in about everything once we have a deal. So, Janet, do we have
a deal?”
Janet quietly evaluated the situation for a while.
“Only temporary.”
She said eventually, “I will put on an act with you in front of the elders. But you can’t force me to
recognize the mate bond.”
“Fine.” Westin shrugged, “In the end, you will come around yourself.”
His attitude was condescending and arrogant.
He probably believed that Janet didn’t have any choice but to work with him now that she was in his
hands.
But Janet knew that the Lycan’s land wouldn’t hold her forever.
Sooner or later, she would find a way out of this.
She always did.
They briefly shook hands on their temporary partnership.
Westin blew a whistle. Edwin and the other Lycans stepped out of the fog again.
“Let us go,” Westin said to them, hopping into the car.
The car drove forward, deeper into the mist that hung over the rainforest.
This time, Janet was granted the chance to sit in the passenger’s seat.
She peered out of the car window.
The winding mountain road clung to the slopes like a serpentine ribbon, carrying them further into the
heart of the majestic peaks.
The air grew crisper, and the scent of pine trees mingled with the distant aroma of wildflowers.
Then, as if emerging from the very stone of the mountains, a grand castle appeared in the valley below.
Janet couldn’t help but let out a little gasp of shock
“Pretty amazing, huh?” Westin asked by her side.
Janet kept her eyes on that approaching castle.
She didn’t want to admit it.
But it was the most amazing architecture she had seen so far.
The castle stood like a sentinel, its spires reaching towards the heavens, and its walls
adorned with intricate carvings.
It seemed to defy gravity, nestled against the imposing backdrop of the peaks, and its towers touched
the edges of the passing clouds.
The setting sun bathed the castle in a warm, golden glow, casting a magical aural over the entire valley.
Janet had seen many great architectures before.
The exotic palace built on the wasteland of the Grace Ruin.

“Wesam” she gasped a sweet voice.

Agnes beckoned to a maid, who fought over a jug of water
“Janet. I want to personally welcome you to our castle,” Agnes smiled
She held the jug
Out of a sudden, she raised her hands and poured the entire jug of water onto Janet

Agnes was handing the jug back to the maid, but Janet snatched the jug from her first
Using the jug as a weapon, Janet smashed it down on Agnes’s delicate shoulder! BANG!
The glass jug scattered into pieces.
Agnes let out a sharp cry, falling to the ground.
An astonished gasp could be heard from the watching crowd.
“What the fuck, lanet!” Westin snapped furiously.
Janet ignored him.
“Rumors about me are correct.”
She said quietly, looking down at Agnes’s horror–stricken face.
“I am hot–tempered and ill–mannered…so DO NOT MESS WITH ME.”
