Chapter 179

Jlooked down at Harper’s dead body.

A sweet sense of revenge surged up in her body.

This woman had been her nightmare since childhood. Even to this day, she still carries slashing

scars on her back left by Harper.

Now, finally, she ended her own nightmare.

And it felt…so fucking awesome.

Jcupped ssnow to rinse off the blood on her blade.

Her shoulder was grabbed by a large hand the next second. And her body was spun around forcefully

by Daran.

Daran looked into her eyes. His face was full of sheavy emotions: shock, anger, and even

sorrow…

“…It was you?” he asked in a trembling voice.

Jlooked away from his face and looked down at her own feet, “Apparently so.”

“Why did you say anything!”

Daran raised his voice abruptly, his furious roar echoing through the silent forest: “I thought it was

Harper! And that is why I treated her so nicely for years! If I knew that it was you, I-”

“You what?”

Jlet out a snort, “You would treatbetter? You would holddearly as your mate? You would

not leaveto the rogues when I was kidnapped?”

“YES!” Daran snarled, his eyes bloodshot. “But most importantly, I–I would realize my feelings towards

you sooner!”

Just think about how many years he had wasted.

He married and mated with the sperson who saved his life, whom he first fell in love with.

But he didn’t know about that back then.

He even once blamed the Moon Goddess for arranging Jas his mate when his mate should be

Harper, whom he thought was his lifesaver.

Yet everything was wrong.

Everything was fucked up.

His life was ruined by this imposter Harper.

If it weren’t for Harper, Jwould still be his Luna. And they would still be in Riverside Pack now,

happily married.

“Why…Why didn’t you tell me…” he asked, slightly choking, feeling a mist of tears in his eyes.

Jrescued her wrist from Daran’s grip, an indifferent look on her face.

“What you feel is not love.” She said coolly, “Gratitude? Guilt? Maybe. But definitely not love.”

“Of course it is!”

“NO. It’s not!” her gaze becsharp, “You said that you lovedin Crimson Fortress. But later on,

you still handedto Harper to have her torture me! I don’t care how jealous you were at the time,

that is not how you treat the person you

ve!!

Daran’s body becstiff.

He stood on his spot as snowflakes continued to fall on his shoulders, shaping him into an ice

sculpture.

Jtook in a deep breath, “You are a cold, possessive, and ruthless man, Daran, someone who

lacks the ability to love. We can never be together, even without Harper in the picture.”

“…What would it take for you to believe me?” Daran asked in a hoarse voice.

Jwanted to tell him that there was no such thing.

But then she paused.

“Harper begged you to spare her life in exchange for her favor to you. I saw you hesitated.” Janet

stared at him, “Then letoffer a similar deal: if you agree to give up on this Werewolf King nonsense,

I will reconsider us getting back together. How does that sound?”

Daran’s breathing becrough. He looked frustrated.

“Why do you needto give up so badly?!” he hissed through gritted teeth, “If I becKing, I can

better protect you-”

Jfelt a sudden flash of anger as she shouted back, “SHUT UP! Stop usingas an excuse for

your own ambition! You are just a power–hungry monster! PERIOD!”

“Janet-”

“And this is exactly what I am talking about!” Jtalked over him, “You say that you love me, but you

always give up uponfor your fucking power! A man like you deserves to die alone on that fucking

throne!”

She held the blade up and pointed at Daran’s chest.

“The next tI hear you say that you love me-

Her body, along with her voice, was trembling with rage.

“-I will slit your throat just like what I did to Harper.”

A deathly silence fell upon them.

They couldn’t hear anything else besides the gushing wind and their own labored breathing.

Daran didn’t say anything. He simply stared at the blade that pointed at his chest, his eyes full of

sorrow.

“Good,” Jsaid, her breath a pale mist in the air. “Now let us head back. We still have to deal with

Lance.”

She shifted into her wolf and started running towards the tower.

Moments later, she heard the sound of paws from behind.

Daran had caught up with her.

When they got back to the tower, Morgana and Kass were still trying to get Layla to talk.

Morgana walked up to greet them as soon as they cin through the door.

“Harper?” Morgana asked.

“Dead.” Jsaid briefly, “Any progress with Layla?”

Morgana shook her head, “This woman’s mouth is tight. She refuses to give us any information.”

Jfrowned.

“But my soldiers are gathered downstairs. They all take orders directly from me.” Morgana said, “I can

ask them to siege the city and search for Lance street by

street-

“No, it takes too much time. Lance might get away.”

Jwalked to Layla and met with her watchful eyes.

“So here is what is going to happen.“,

Jsaid to her in a freezing voice:

“If you keep your mouth shut, by the twe find Lance, which will happen sooner or later, we will take

our sweet twith killing him. We will pluck his tongue, gouge his eyes, skin him alive. Make sure that

he goes through a painful suffering that even makes death seem like a mercy-

“YOU COLD BITCH!” Layla roared her eyes slits of rage. “You go rot in HELL!!!”

Jclamped her jaw and silenced her forcefully.

“Or, alternatively, you give us his location, and I can guarantee a quick and painless death.” Jsaid,

“It is your call.”

Layla’s chest moved rapidly in rage.

“You know that your boss is over,” Morgana said with her arms crossed in front of her chest. “Better let

him die with sdignity. Don’t you think so?”

Layla gritted, “…But how can I trust you?”

“I give you my word,” Jsaid solemnly.

Layla still looked hesitated. Her eyes traveled to Janet’s back, where Daran was

standing.

“You don’t need to look at him. I make the call here,” Jstressed.

“…I stand with Jon this,” said Daran’s deep voice from the back.

Layla closed her eyes.

After a long pause, she said, shakily, “I asked the King to hide himself… When I find a

way of escaping, I will give 3 long howls to the moon, and he will know it is my signal to him and come

out to meet with me.”

“Great.”

Morgana ordered her soldiers to hide among the fallen walls and ruins before Lance turned up.

“Shall we include the Lycans in this?” Kass asked Janet, “I saw Westin and his men wandering around

the East Wing.”

“No,” Daran said icily without hesitation.

“I kind of agree with Daran on this one.” Morgana shrugged, “I don’t feel like sharing our victory with the

Lycans.”

When everyone had hidden properly in the shadows, Jnodded at Layla.

Standing alone in the seemingly empty courtyard, Layla took a deep breath and let out 3 long howls to

the moon.

Everyone waited in the strained silence, holding their breath, waiting for Lance to show up.

After what felt like an eternity, light footsteps cfrom the distance, gradually approaching.

It was Lance.

He came!

“…Layla?”

Lance stopped warily by the courtyard’s entrance and looked around the place.

Although the courtyard looked empty to him, the eerie silence still sent a chill down his spine.

“Yes, it is me, My King,” Layla answered.

“Are you alone?” Lance narrowed his eyes, sounding skeptical.
