Chapter 54
Janet couldnât stop thinking what Daran said about giving them a second chance.
Truth to be told, she found his proposal ridiculous.
Who made Daran think that there was a chance for them to start over?
Yes, Daran paid her ransom.
But he also rejected her coldâheartedly when she was in danger.
And she hadnât even mentioned the cold shoulder that he had been giving her throughout their entire marriage.
She was not some sort of cargo that he could come back to anytime he wanted.
His cocky attitude irritated her. Daran is being Daran again.
He wasnât even her Alpha anymore. Yet he still hadnât learnt to drop that condescending attitude.
â¦What a jerk.
The next morning, Janet woke up early and headed towards the training field. With Harper out of her way, she was in a particularly good mood today.
Yet this good mood didnât last as long as she had expected.
There was a large group of people gathered outside of the Riverside Packâs training field when Janet arrived.
They seemed to be in the middle of a celebration.
âWhat is the fuzz here?â
Janet walked over and asked Balvina, who was standing a few feet away from that gathering crowd with a sarcastic look on her face.
âThey are celebrating the return of Baron.â
Balvina curled her lips with disgust.
âWhat a barefaced jerk. If I were him, I would never return to the publicâs sight after that kind of humiliation.â
âWell, he has got a more checky face than the both of us combined,â Janet said.
After that incident with the crazy bears, Baron had been hiding in his house, letting Maxie take care all of the trainings. He didnât even show up at the party a few days
ago.
But Janet knew that Baron would come back sooner or later. He was still Riversideâs Gamma, nevertheless.
She looked over and spotted Baron at the center of the crowd.
He had a triumph smile on his face as though he just returned from a battlefield of victory.
âOK, soldiers, I know you all miss me very much.â
Baron spread his arms wide open and announced loudly, âAnd now that I have come back, I have no doubt that we will crush other packs at the competition next month. Who is with me!â
His speech won a deafening round of cheering.
âAnd I want to introduce you to a good friend of mine-
Baron pulled a man over and let him face the entire crowd.

Owen Diaz! My new right hand! And he will be responsible for your trainings from now on!â
It was indeed Owen, standing by Baronâs side, waving his hands at people and grinning like a fool.
âChrist!â Balvina whispered into Janetâs ear, âIsnât that the Diazâs second son? What is he doing here? And how did he hook up with Baron?â
âNo idea.â
Janetâs eyes searched across the crowd sullenly. Then she asked Balvina lowly, âAnd if Owen becomes the new trainer, what happened to Maxie?â
She didnât see Maxie among the crowd.
Balvina frowned and she seemed worried as well.
On the other side, Baron had done making his speech. He turned and noticed Janet and Balvina staring at him in the distance.
An evil smile spread on his lips as he paced over.
âWhat are you looking at, Gamma Janet? Trying to steal our training plan?â Baron said in a cold, drawling voice, âOh, and Owen, I trust you know Gamma Janet personally?â
âIndeed, I do. She is my familyâs freeloader.â
Owen looked down at Janet with his arms crossed in front of his muscular chest. He seemed like Baronâs large and thuggish crony.
Although he was much taller and larger than Janet was, Janet was not intimidated by
him.
Taking a step further, Janet met his eyes and sneered, âHow is your familyâs tax issue coming along?â
Owenâs body tensed immediately.
That tax issue was really a pain in the ass.
Alpha Daranâs Minister of Treasure came to their house this morning and delivered them an official notice.
As it turned out, the Diaz family owed 800 million of tax!
Even after subtracting that 500 million Daran agreed to pay, it was still a giant figure!
Hellen and Paul had a massive meltdown when they received the notice. Hellen knelt
on the floor and wailed as Paul broke a vase.
They didnât have that much money even if they sold everything they owe!
Owen was their only hope now.
They all counted on Owen to become brilliant in the army and persuaded Daran to forget about the tax.
Thinking about all those pressures that he was under, Owen glared at Janet and hissed, âYou listen to me, you piece of shit. Stay out of my way! Or I will make crawl on the ground like a fu cking dog like you used to!â
you
Janet let out a cold laugh, âI canât believe itâ¦You are even more stupid than Harper.â
âWHAT DID YOU SAY?!â
Letting out a deafening roar, Owen reached out his giant hand trying to grab Janet by her collar.
Janet stepped sideways, seizing Owenâs arm with both hands, and gave him a nice and clean shoulder throw!
Owenâs body was smashed onto the ground harshly, making a huge noise.
âWell-â
Janet put a foot on Owenâs shoulder, stopping him from getting up, and smiled:
â-Who is crawling on the ground like a fu cking dog now?â
There was a horrific look on Owenâs face.
When did Janet become this strong?
He thought she was still that weak, little girl, who couldnât fight back and could only cry and sob pathetically.
â¦What changed her?!
Baron was standing by the side the whole time when this happened. He started to panic when Janet wrestled Owen to the ground.
Yet he wasnât dared to rush forward and rescue Owenâhe knew what Janet was capable of.
So he decided to call for help.
âWhere are my soldiers!â Baron raised his volume and cried, âYour gamma has been attacked! Get your ass over here!â
Yet his voice didnât attract many Riverside Packâs soldiers.
Blood Moon Packâs soldiers heard him first and rushed out of the training field together.
âWhat is going on here!â
Kass dashed over and yelled.
âWhat are you doing to our Gamma!â
They henimed Baron and Owen in and looked at Janet, waiting for her order.
Baron took a shaky step back. He felt a strong sense of insecurity being surrounded by Blood Moon Packâs soldiers like that.
âI warn you! Donât do anything rush, Janet!â Baron pointed a finger at Janet and cried, âYou heard Alpha Daran yesterday! He didnât appreciate infighting!â
Janet sneered.
She was disgusted by the horrific look on Baronâs face.
âLook at yourself. You are shitting your pants. How can you go to the battlefield like that?â she asked sarcastically.
She let go of Owenâs arm and turned to leave the crowd.
Owen quickly scrambled to his feet and stared at Janetâs back resentfully. He still seemed furious. But he wasnât dared to challenge Janetâs authority again.
Balvina hurried to catch up with Janet, âHey where are you going? Arenât you going to the training field today?â
âYou are in charge of todayâs training.â Janet said briefly, âI need to talk to Alpha Daran about his Gamma.â
She couldnât stand Baron anymore.
And the situation had worsened now with Owen jumping on board.
All 5 packs would dispatch their troops together very soon. She couldnât focus on fighting the rogues with scumbags like Baron and Owen in the
army.
And she was sure that Owen wouldnât stop messing with her.
As much as she didnât want to stumble into Riverside Packâs business, this nonsense with Owen must stop now.
Plus, she was worried about Maxie as well.
Maxie was an excellent trainer; yet she was replaced by Owen now.
Did something happen to Maxie?
Where was she now?
With these questions at heart, Janet jumped on her car and headed towards the central packhouse, looking for Daran.
A maid told her that Daran was in his study going through paperwork.
Janet knew the way to his study perfectly well. So she thanked the maid and headed to the study directly.
The studyâs door was left open with a crack when she got there.
And there was no guard standing outside.
Janet wanted to knock first.
Yet the scene she saw through the door crack made her froze on the
â¦Daran was sitting behind the desk.
And there was a beautiful woman snuggling by his side.
Her big boobs were almost touching his arm.
