Chapter 10
Janet narrowed her eyes at Daran
âYou want to challenge me?â Janet let out a light chuckle. âWhy? Is it because I just slapped your little girlfriend, and you want to avenge her now?â
âItâs not about that.â
Daran looked down at Janet from his towering height, eyes searching her face.
âI just want to see what youâve been hiding from me,â he said with a light voice.
âNo!â
Suddenly a loud voice interrupted their eye contact.
Casper had stood up from his seat, a stern look on his face.
âIâll not allow it!â Casper said gloomily, staring at Daran. âThis is ridiculous. You are an Alpha for Christâs sake! Your Alpha aura alone is enough to make people shit in their pants! This is not a fair game!

âDonât worry. This is only a friendly exchange. We are not on the battlefield,â Daran said calmly. âI wonât use my Alpha aura if thatâs what worried you.â
âItâs not just thatââ
âAnd to make it seem more reasonable-â Daran put his right hand into his pocket and said, â-Iâll only use my left hand during the fight.â
An audible gasp came from the crowd.
People were all stunned.
Using only one hand?
That hardly seemed possible! Even for an Alpha like Daran!
Casper furrowed his brows tightly together. He still seemed unconvinced. But Janet spoke up at this
moment:
âSure. I accept your challenge.â
âJanet!â Casper cried out anxiously.
âItâs OK. Itâs an honor to challenge Alpha Daran,â Janet said with a smile while keeping her eyes on
Daran.
When she was still Daranâs Luna, she had heard many legends about Daran, like how he singleâmaned 50 rogues and bloodâbathed a rogueâs stronghold in minutes.
Janet had always known that Daran was an extraordinary warrior.
Yet sadly, she was never allowed into the training field when she was in Riverside Pack.
Now she finally had the chance.
The idea of conquering him exhilarated her.
âSo does the winner have a prize?â Janet said to Daran with a provoking smile.
Flight
snort, âDo you have anything in mind?â
âIf I winâ¦â
Janet walked up to him and trailed her index finger across his jawline.
ââ¦Youâll bow and kiss my hand while saying âGamma Janet I shouldnât challenge your majestyâ,â she chuckled.
Daran held his breath involuntarily.
Her finger sent a chill down his spine.
Yet there was an immediate disapproving sound from Riverside Pack.
âOur Alpha bows to nobody!â Baron roared.
âYeah! Thatâs too much!â
Daran raised a hand, silencing all his members.
âDeal,â he said hoarsely while staring at Janet. âAnd if you lose?â âThen you can ask me to do anything,â Janet smiled.
With that established, both of them moved to the wrestling ring.
Round 2 was about to begin!
Janet squared her shoulders and glared at her opponent.
She knew that she was in for a tough fight.
Daran towered over her, his muscles bulging with strength.
But she welcomed the challenge.
With a flick of her wrist and a twirl of her body, Janet launched herself at Daran, fists swinging!
She aimed at his right side on purpose.
Because Daran had promised to use his right hand, he had to step sideways to dodge.
Then he feinted to the left, then quickly pivoted to the right, landing a powerful blow on Janetâs shoulder!
Janet stumbled.
F**k that hurts!
âCareful,â Daran said with a hint of a smile.
But Janet had quickly regained their balance and retaliated with a flurry of jabs and hooks.
Their fight went on, each blow aimed with precision and power.
Yet something had changed at this point.
Something strange began to happen-
Their movements became fluid and graceful, a strange sort of dance that seemed almost⦠flirtatious.
Janet dodged a blow, feeling the heat of Daranâs breath on her cheek.
She could see the surprise in his eyes as she twisted away, flipping over his head and landing on the other. side.
This short interaction rendered both of them breathless and a quickening heart rate.
People were watching closely by the ring.
Eden gazed into the ring with a frown and then turned to Casper.
âAm I crazy?â he asked Casper perplexedly, âOr are they seriously flirting?â
Casperâs jaw tensed.
He gave Eden a deathly glare and snapped, ââ¦Shut up.â
5 minutes
Passed.
And they were still in a tie.
Janet was beginning to feel exhausted, however. She wanted to end the fight soon with more powerful blows.
But she forgot about defense when she was all about offense.
Suddenly Daran caught an opening and landed a hard punch on her shoulder, sending Janet blasted off
her back!
ââ-Janet!!â
Casper let out a loud roar and jumped onto the ring.
He ran to Janetâs side and gently held her into his arms, âOh my god! Are you OK?â
Janet coughed and rubbed her shoulder.
It hurt like hell. But she could take it.
A hint of panic flickered across Daranâs eyes as he rushed forward as well.
âAre you alright?â he asked while offering a hand to Janet.
Casper slapped Daranâs hand away and barked, âFriendly exchange my ass! You f**king hurt her! Iâm going to rip your throat apart-â
Casper couldnât handle this.
Hadnât Daran hurt his little sister enough?!
âDonâtâ¦â Janet coughed and patted Casperâs arm. âIâm fine, Casper. He didnât hurt me.â
She got on her feet and moved around slightly, âSee?â
âOK, OK, youâve proved your point,â Casper quickly wrapped his arms around her waist. âNow stay still. You need to be examined by Doctor Steve.â
Janet sighed, ââ¦Fine.â
She then turned to Daran with a light smile, âYou win, Alpha Daran. Now you can tell me what you want me to do.â
Daran stared at Casperâs hand on Janetâs waist, ââ¦Iâll tell me when it comes to mind.â
Janet was carried off the ring by Casper.
Daran followed after them.
He was greeted by Harper as soon as he got off.
âAlpha!â Harper grabbed his hand and cried excitedly, âCongratulations! I know you can win! What are you going to ask of her? You should ask her to kneel down and apologize to me in front of everyone!â
Yet Daran didnât answer.
He was still looking at Janet.
Janet was now surrounded by a group of members from the Blood Moon Pack.
Casper was rubbing her shoulders, while Eden wrapped her in his jacket.
Everyone here adored her like a princess.
Daran clenched his fists as an annoyed feeling rose in him.
Janet used to belong solely to him⦠Yet now, she was surrounded by a bunch of men. And he had no excuse to come up to her.
âAlpha?â
Harper called him again, trying to get his attention back.
Yet Daran suddenly shook off her hands and walked to Janet.
When he came close, he heard Casper talking to Janet in a very intimate tone, âYou are all sweaty now. Letâs go back to my room and you can shower and change there.â
Janet nodded at Casper with a smile.
Daran couldnât believe his ears.
He suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Janetâs wrist, âYou are going into his room to shower?â âHey!â Casper cried in rage. âWhat the f**k? Let go of her!â
âAnswer me!â
Daran ignored Casper while tightening his grip.
Jealousy had clouded his mind.
âShower in your Alphaâs suiteâ¦â Daran hissed glaring at Janet, âIs this how you become Gamma?â
Chapter u
BANG!
Casper threw a hard punch at Daran, knocking him to the side,
âWatch your f**king mouth!â Casper hissed, âI donât care if you are an Alpha or not! If you disrespect Janet again, I will f**king kill you!â
Daran looked up to him darkly. His mouth was ripped but his gaze was sharp.
âKill me?â Daran let out cold laugh, âIf you think you can-â
âOK. Thatâs enough. Both of you.â
Janet came in between them. She first patted Casperâs tensed shoulder to ease him up before turning over
to Daran.
A sarcastic smile appeared on her lips.
âYouâve tested my skills yourself,â she said. âI became Gamma because Iâm capable. That should be pretty clear to you already. As of why Iâm showering in Alpha Casperâs suite-â
She paused.
Then meet with Daranâs dark eyes.
â-Well, itâs not you f**king business.â she chuckled.
She turned on her heels and left the scene with Casper, Eden and everyone else from BloodMoon Pack. Daran remained frozen on his spot as the group of them walked away.
Janet was right.
It was not his f**king business anymore.
He rejected her. And she became somebody elseâs now.
