Chapter 197
Janet tensed up instantly.
â Westin was threatening to kill Daran?
No.
Or maybe that was not a threat at all.
Westin really meant it!
He wanted to kill Daran for quite some time already! If Janet hadnât stopped Westin in the Grace Ruin, Daran would have died in his hand already!
And without the power of the Werewolf King, Daran didnât really have a shot of winning.
Janet instantly wanted to jump out of the garden where she was hiding and dashed forward to stop Westin.
But Morgana grabbed her sleeve in time.
âCalm down,â Morgana whispered into Janetâs ears. âLet it play out. I donât think he
will do it.â
Janet froze, her heart thumping wildly against her ribs.
Then she heard Daran let out a cool laugh:
âKill me? No, King Westin, that is the last thing you will do.â
âWhy? Do you not believe that I am capable?â
âBecause I know that if I die in your hands, Janet will never forgive you. You have put too much effort into winning her over. You canât take that risk.â
It was Westinâs turn to lapse into silence.
âAnd I am curious, King Westinâ¦â Daran leaned his upper body, staring at Westin, and asked, ââ¦What are you trying to accomplish here? Why do you want Janet SD badly?â
Westinâs voice was chilly, âBecause I love her, obviously.â
âLie.â Daran sneered. âYou two have only known each other for less than a month. Where does this love come from? You didnât want a Werewolf King in this world. Yet you were willing to let that matter slide just to get to Janet. She is THAT important to you. Why?â
âWhat sort of conspiracy are you trying to work out here? I told you. It was love at first sight-â
Daran laughed icily, âStop lying. It is just the two of us here. You donât know love
better than I do. We are the same kind of people.â
any
A deathly silence fell upon them.
After a long pause, Westin let out a gloomy chuckle, â⦠Now I really want to kill you. Canât afford to have you blabber all that to Janet.â
âI wonât say a word.â Daran said freezingly, âBut I will win this damn competition. I wonât let a man like you have any chances of hurting Janet.â
Janet heard all of their conversation.
Yet her head was a mess.
â¦Was Daran implying that Westin approached her for some ill purposes?
But what could it be?

âI really canât-â cried Mr. Larkin desperately.
â500 thousand plus 80 acres of land,â Daran said. âI know you have always wanted to expand this vineyard.â
ââ¦800 thousand! And I throw on top a gold mine!â Westin said boomingly. âYou will have the exclusive mining right-â
âSTOP!â
Mr. Larkin roared, breathing heavily, âThis is fucking crazy! Are you even listening to yourself?! Hundreds of thousands of dollars for a bottle of wine?! I didnât even know that my wine was worth that much money myself!â
âYou can name any figure and I will write the check. Because that is how important your wine is to me.â
Daran took a step further towards Mr. Larkin and said in a solemn voice:
âLuna Balvina wants this wine. And she is Princess Janetâs best friendâ¦I would do anything for Princess Janet.â
Mr. Larkin sounded shocked, ââ¦So the rumor is true⦠Both of you are here for the princessâ¦â
âThat is right.â Daran nodded, âI will compensate for your loss. And personally come down to your daughterâs birthday and explain things to her if that is
necessary.â
âBottom line is we are not leaving here until you hand over that wine,â Westin said idly.
There was a short moment of silence.
Then Mr. Larkin gulped nervously:
âBut even if I am willing to give you the wine, there is only one bottleâ¦.Are you two willing to take it back together?â
âThe highest bidder gets the wine,â Westin chuckled lightly. âI believe that I was the highest bidder.â
âWhatever figure you name, I will double,â Daran sneered.
âConsider wisely before you make that decision, Mr. Larkin. You donât want to be enemy with the Lycans,â Westin warned.
Mr. Larkin let out a frustrating sigh.
He picked up a wooden box from the table, which presumably contained the wine, and said, âI donât see why you canât take this back together⦠But if you really want me to choose-
He handed the wooden box to Daran.
âYou have a lot of fans here in Blood Moon Pack, Alpha Daran, myself included.â Mr. Larkin said with a smile, âWe knew that you were by the side of our princess when you fought the Rogue King. So keep protecting her, please. Donât let us down.â
Daran took the box.
ââ¦I will,â said he in a slightly shaking voice.
âSo that is the decision you make?â Westin asked icily, âBe enemy with the Lycan?â
Mr. Larkin puffed up his chest and replied haughtily, âIf you asked nicely, King, Westin, I might consider giving the wine to you. But you play the hierarchy card. I am not a big fan of that.â
Westin let out a chilly laugh.
The door to the redâbrick house opened up.
Janet and Morgana saw Daran strode out carrying that wooden box in his arms.
They immediately crouched down even lower, afraid that he might see him.
Hurried footsteps came.
Westin rushed out of the house as well.
ââ¦Daran,â he called.
Daran halted and turned around to look at him, âWhat?â
The corners of Westinâs lips lifted into a meaningful smile.
âYou think that I am going to let you walk away with that wine?â he chuckled, âIf I canât please Janet with that wineâ¦Nobody else can.â
He reached into his pocket and pulled something out.
A gasp almost escaped Janetâs lips.
A gun!!!!
Westin raised that gun aiming at Daran and pulled the trigger without hesitation-
BANG!
Gunfire echoed in the peaceful vineyard.
Red drops splashed over the ground.
