Chapter 55

Janet’s hand froze on the doorknob.

spot.

She heard that woman saying to Daran in a sweet voice, “Alpha, don’t you ever get tired from all these

works? The day is beautiful outside. Let’s go for a picnic. Or go hunting in the forest.”

“I have works to do.”

Daran’s voice was cold. But he didn’t push that woman away.

“You shouldn’t be here in the first place, Salvia. Why didn’t my guards stop you?”

Salvia giggled and leant in even closer, “Your guards know that we are intimate. They walked away

when I cin to give us sspace. Con, Daran, don’t be a buzzkill. You know we have a

better way of spending this afternoon…A much better way…”

Her hand traveled down Daran’s chest as she spoke and tried to unbutton his shirt.

Daran grabbed her hand forcefully.

Jcouldn’t watch anymore. If she didn’t go in there, the two might start doing it right on the desk

soon.

So she flung the door open with a quick sharp movement.

The noise startled the woman named Salvia. She jerked around looking at Jand snapped, “Why

didn’t you knock! The Alpha is busy!”

Jraised her eyebrow, “Busy with work? Or busy banging you?”

Salvia seemed furious, “Who the hell are you!”

“Janet.”

Daran rose from his chair hastily looking at Janet. He seemed pleased to see her here.

“Are you here to see me?” he asked.

“That depends.” Jshrugs, glancing at Salvia. “Am I interrupting?”

“No. Of course not,” Daran said firmly.

Then he turned to Salvía, who was glaring at Jhostilely, and demanded, “Leave us, Salvia.”

“No! I am not leaving you with her!” Salvia cried.

She darted a look at Jand gritted, “I know who you are. You are Daran’s ex.

Didn’t he reject you already? What are you still doing here? Begging him to take you back?”

“Enough Salvia!” Daran snapped.

Yet Salvia was still yammering, “You were rejected by him once already. You are basically damaged

good! If you still have any sense of self–respect, you should stay away from him as far as possible!”

Jsurveyed Salvia from head to toe.

Frankly speaking, this woman was very beautiful, even more so than Harper. She also had a very nice

body, the kind that could easily attract men’s attention on the

street.

“If you

know my name, you should also know that I am Blood Moon Pack’s Gamma and princess.”

Jlet out a cold sneer looking at her.

“You should bow toand keep your voice low while talking to me. It is the most basic upper–society

courtesy. Have you learnt nothing back in school?”

Salvia’s face went red in rage.

“I am a noble myself!” she cried, “I don’t need to bow to you!”

“That is enough! You are crossing the line here, Salvia.” Daran snarled, raising his voice. “Guards!”

With a series of hurried footsteps, two guards rushed into the room.

Daran said to them coldly, “Escort Miss Salvia out. And if you ever let people into my

study without my permission, all of you will be fired.”

Guards quivered under his sharp gaze and dragged Salvia out immediately.

Jwaited for them to close the door before asking Daran, “Do I have your permission to stay, Alpha

Daran?”

“Of course!”

Daran walked around the table to her and said, “Look, about Sylvia-

“I am not here to talk about your personal life, Alpha Daran.” Jcut him off sharply, “It is about

Baron.”

A furrow appeared between Daran’s brows.

“What did he do now?” he asked.

Jtold him everything that happened this morning outside of the training field and then added, “I

can’t go to war with these people, and certainly not with Owen. If you refused to replace Baron and

Owen, I am afraid that the Blood Moon Pack will have to back down from this alliance.”

Daran breathed out a heavy sigh, “I understand your frustration, Janet. But it isn’t that easy. Baron’s

family is very influential.”

“Even more influential than the Alpha?” Jasked sarcastically.

Daran pretended that he didn’t notice Janet’s sarcastic tone and said, “Baron’s father–the former

Gamma–was a very respected warrior. He died in the battlefield fighting rogues, heroically. He was

Riverside Pack’s soldier’s icon. If I take his son

Baron down without a legitimate reason, the public will get mad.”

This piece of information was new to Janet.

“So you are just going to sit around and let Baron corrupt your army?” Jasked with a frown,

“Because lettell you, Baron is nothing like his father. He is a weak puss. And he is fully capable of

turning you over to the rogues in exchange of his own life. I assure you that.”

“I am fully aware of that. Letshow you something.”

Daran pulled a piece of paper out of the deck of files on his desk and handed it to Janet, “We have

50% of our annual budget going into the army. Yet the account doesn’t check out. My Minister of

Finance and I suspect Baron of pocketing that money himself.”

Jscanned through the paper.

Daran was right.

More than 5 billion were allocated to the army this year. Yet 80% of that money got vanished in the thin

air.

“If you can prove this, you have a legitimate reason to remove Baron,” Jsaid.

“Exactly.”

Daran nodded.

“I am just having trouble getting my hands on Baron’s account book. I am actually thinking about

issuing a warrant to search his house. We are moving closer to the day of the dispatch. The sooner we

take care of Baron, the better it is.”

Jpondered on that for a moment.

“Hold that thought on the warrant. I don’t think he keeps that account book in his house. It is too risky.”

“Then do you have a better idea?”

Jlooked at him with a smile, “Not an idea. A person, Maxie. She might happen to

know everything about Baron’s shady deals but doesn’t dare to say anything

because of Baron’s power. Lettalk to her today.”

She gave the paper back to Daran and walked towards the door.

Yet Daran stopped her again, “Don’t you want to know who Sylvia is?”

Jstopped by the door.

She looked over her shoulder and sneered, “Letguess…She is Baron’s sister, isn’t she?”

She and Baron had the exact seyes, and a huge ego.

The similarity was striking.

“No need to explain. Again, not interested in your personal life,” Jshrugged. She paused.

First Harper…then Sylvia.

Did they ever stop?

There was a small smile on Daran’s lips.

He didn’t seem mad.

Amusement gleamed in his eyes as he asked in a hoarse voice:

–

Jfelt her face went red.

“Don’t flatter yourself!” she snarled, holding the door frame. “Now stop pestering me. I have an account

book to find. And a witness to talk to!”

Daran called behind her back, “But aren’t you at least a little bit of jealous when you walked in earlier?”

“Not even a bit!”

Jsnapped and shut the door close with a loud bang.
