Chapter 194

“…I call the shots?”

Jlowered her voice.

She stared right into his eyes, “…You will do whatever I have in mind?”

His breathing becrough. His gaze was intense.

“Yes,” he murmured hoarsely, his lips only an inch away from hers. “… Anything.”

“Well then…‘

She placed a hand on his firm chest, feeling his quickened heartbeat.

“I want us to go into the packhouse now, head upstairs, back to our rooms, get into the bed, and go to

sleep.”

He froze.

Jcouldn’t help but burst out laughing–the look on his face!

“It isn’t fair!” he protested, “I want the rein back in my hand!

“Too late. You already handed that to me. I call the shots here.” she giggled, “And now I am asking you

to go to bed like a big boy.”

He stared at her laughing face.

“When was the last the made you laugh like this?” he asked abruptly.

A smile froze on her lips.

“…There are happy times,” she said after a pause.

“You are lying to yourself.” he said deeply, “You know that the only thing he has ever done to you is to

hurt you.”

Jlapsed into silence.

“They say that all women enjoy the company of men who can make them laugh. But they always end

up with the men who can make them cry. Is it true in your case, Janet?”

Jtook a deep breath and forced out a smile, “What are you talking about? That is nonsense.”

“Good.” Westin cupped her cheeks with both of his hands, “Then don’t give him a chance to hurt you

anymore. You will haveto protect you in the future.”

Jcouldn’t look him in the eyes, “…It is really getting late, Westin. Let’s call it a day.”

“Fine.”

Westin let go of her, “You go ahead. I will enjoy the wind breeze a little longer.”

Jnodded and went into the packhouse.

Her body was worn out, but her mind was sharp and clear as ever with thoughts whizzing across her

mind nonstop.

She couldn’t help but think about everything that happened that day.

Casper and Balvina’s wedding, the thieves, Lord Rolf and Lady Priya, the Lycan’s wolf, and Daran….

She wondered to the floor where her room was at.

The bedroom was right down the hallway, but she didn’t want to turn in just yet.

Instead, she pushed open the glass door and stepped into the terrace.

It was a beautiful night tonight, with thousands of twinkling stars surrounding a full

moon.

Westin was right.

What she should be doing right now was enjoying this beautiful night with the company of a man who

could make her laugh.

But for sunknown reason, she didn’t want to be with a Lycan tonight.

Probably because she was intimidated by his wolf earlier.

Just then, she heard a light creaking noise from downstairs.

She leaned against the handrail and looked down.

Right underneath the terrace was a small garden. In that garden stood a swing.

Right now, there was a dark figure sitting on that swing, which was where the creaking noise came

from.

“…Daran!” Jcouldn’t help but call out to him..

The man on the swing looked up abruptly.

The silver moonlight illuminated his astonished face.

“Janet!” he gasped, “What are you…”

She was suddenly in the mood to mess with him.

“Catch me!” she cried.

Daran shot up from the swing. And the next second, she had climbed over handrail and fell off from the

terrace.

A pair of steady arms caught her before she crushed to the ground.

That was thrilling!

Jstarted giggling.

“That was 6th–floor high!” Daran snapped. His tone was harsh.

“Yes, but you will catch me. I know you will.”

He tightened his arms around her waist, “Nevertheless, it is still way too dangerous-”

the

She pouted and jumped out of his arms, “Why do you have to be such an old man with no fun? I am

leaving.‘

She threatened to storm away but secretly hoped that he would stop her.

And he did.

He caught her wrist just in time.

“…Don’t go.”

His voice was deep and hoarse, “Stay…for a little longer, will you? Do you want to play the swing? I

can push you.”

She smiled and turned to sit on the swing

He went to stand behind her and gave a gentle push on her back. The swing made a creaking sound in

the silent night.

He spoke up after a while, “…We have a similar swing in Riverside Pack. Under the palm tree in the

front yard.”

“Yes, I asked the servants to buildone after I becLuna.”

“And what about this one? You had this one built after you cback to Blood Moon Pack?”

“Yes,”

She paused, and then said slowly, “When I was your Luna, I would sit on the swing and wait for you to

cback from the council chamber. I hoped you could at least spend stwith your wife after a

long day of work and we could chat a bit…But you were always in a rush. No tto chat, and

definitely no tto hang out and play the swing with me.”

She looked up at the full moon overhead, “So after I cback to Blood Moon Pack, I asked Casper to

build this swing for me, exactly like the one I had in Riverside. And this time, I finally had people to

hang out with, maids, soldiers, friends…I was finally

not alone.”

He didn’t say anything for a long moment.

Only his breathing becheavy.

“…I am losing this, aren’t I?” he asked abruptly.

She tapped the ground with one foot and halted the swing to a complete stop. She turned on the swing

and raised her head to look at him, shocked:

“What are you talking about?”

“This fight betweenand Westin…I am losing.”

Jbit her lips, stunned.

Daran was a proud man and, at the stime, never revealed too much of his personal emotions.

This was the first tshe saw him this defeated and vulnerable.

She should feel happy because it was finally her turn to hurt him and to make him afraid of losing her.

But revenge didn’t taste as good as she had imagined.

“That is the conclusion that you drew after tonight? That you are losing?” she asked. “What else am I

supposed to think?”

“So you are giving up already?”

Jstood up from the swing.

She glared at him.

She was pissed.

He had always been a tough and determined person. But why suddenly becsuch a quitter when it

cto her?

Was she really not worth his trouble?

Daran pulled her into his arms abruptly. His hand was on the back of her head, pressing her face

against his muscular chest. She could hear how rapidly his heart was beating.

His shaky voice whispered into her ears, “I am not giving up…I will never give up…not in a million

years…”

“Then what were you whining about just now?”

“I guess I was just too afraid to lose,” he let out an awkward laugh. “I have never been this afraid in my

entire life. The fear of losing you to Westin keptup at night and hauntedin my dreams…”

She rested her head on his chest, “What do you wantto do then?”

He held her face with both hands and raised her head up.

“Tellyou haven’t ruledout yet.” he said huskily, “And don’t give Westin sextra credit for

what happened tonight.”

“This is cheating-”

“I know.”

He lowered his head and pecked her forehead, “But I know the referee personally. So will the referee

helpcheat?”
