Chapter 54
Janet couldn’t 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 cold–heartedly when she was in danger.
And she hadn’t 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 wasn’t even her Alpha anymore. Yet he still hadn’t learnt to drop that condescending attitude.
…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 didn’t last as long as she had expected.
There was a large group of people gathered outside of the Riverside Pack’s training field when Janet arrived.
They seemed to be in the middle of a celebration.
“What is the fuzz here?”
Janet walked over and asked Balvina, who was standing a few feet away from that gathering crowd with a sarcastic look on her face.
“They are celebrating the return of Baron.”
Balvina curled her lips with disgust.
“What a barefaced jerk. If I were him, I would never return to the public’s sight after that kind of humiliation.”
“Well, he has got a more checky face than the both of us combined,” 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 didn’t even show up at the party a few days
ago.
But Janet knew that Baron would come back sooner or later. He was still Riverside’s 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.
“OK, soldiers, I know you all miss me very much.”
Baron spread his arms wide open and announced loudly, “And 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!”
His speech won a deafening round of cheering.
“And 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!”
It was indeed Owen, standing by Baron’s side, waving his hands at people and grinning like a fool.
“Christ!” Balvina whispered into Janet’s ear, “Isn’t that the Diaz’s second son? What is he doing here? And how did he hook up with Baron?”
“No idea.”
Janet’s eyes searched across the crowd sullenly. Then she asked Balvina lowly, “And if Owen becomes the new trainer, what happened to Maxie?”
She didn’t 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.
“What are you looking at, Gamma Janet? Trying to steal our training plan?” Baron said in a cold, drawling voice, “Oh, and Owen, I trust you know Gamma Janet personally?”
“Indeed, I do. She is my family’s freeloader.”
Owen looked down at Janet with his arms crossed in front of his muscular chest. He seemed like Baron’s 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, “How is your family’s tax issue coming along?”
Owen’s body tensed immediately.
That tax issue was really a pain in the ass.
Alpha Daran’s 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 didn’t 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, “You 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!”

Janet let out a cold laugh, “I can’t believe it…You are even more stupid than Harper.”
“WHAT DID YOU SAY?!”
Letting out a deafening roar, Owen reached out his giant hand trying to grab Janet by her collar.
Janet stepped sideways, seizing Owen’s arm with both hands, and gave him a nice and clean shoulder throw!
Owen’s body was smashed onto the ground harshly, making a huge noise.
“Well-”
Janet put a foot on Owen’s shoulder, stopping him from getting up, and smiled:
“-Who is crawling on the ground like a fu cking dog now?”
There was a horrific look on Owen’s face.
When did Janet become this strong?
He thought she was still that weak, little girl, who couldn’t fight back and could only cry and sob pathetically. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
…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 wasn’t dared to rush forward and rescue Owen–he knew what Janet was capable of.
So he decided to call for help.
“Where are my soldiers!” Baron raised his volume and cried, “Your gamma has been attacked! Get your ass over here!”
Yet his voice didn’t attract many Riverside Pack’s soldiers.
Blood Moon Pack’s soldiers heard him first and rushed out of the training field together.
“What is going on here!”
Kass dashed over and yelled.
“What are you doing to our Gamma!”
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 Pack’s soldiers like that.
“I warn you! Don’t do anything rush, Janet!” Baron pointed a finger at Janet and cried, “You heard Alpha Daran yesterday! He didn’t appreciate infighting!”
Janet sneered.
She was disgusted by the horrific look on Baron’s face.
“Look at yourself. You are shitting your pants. How can you go to the battlefield like that?” she asked sarcastically.
She let go of Owen’s arm and turned to leave the crowd.
Owen quickly scrambled to his feet and stared at Janet’s back resentfully. He still seemed furious. But he wasn’t dared to challenge Janet’s authority again.
Balvina hurried to catch up with Janet, “Hey where are you going? Aren’t you going to the training field today?”
“You are in charge of today’s training.” Janet said briefly, “I need to talk to Alpha Daran about his Gamma.”
She couldn’t 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 couldn’t focus on fighting the rogues with scumbags like Baron and Owen in the
army.
And she was sure that Owen wouldn’t stop messing with her.
As much as she didn’t want to stumble into Riverside Pack’s 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 study’s 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
…Daran was sitting behind the desk.
And there was a beautiful woman snuggling by his side.
Her big boobs were almost touching his arm.
