Chapter 68


    Thest time J was at Daran’s office, there weren’t any guards standing by the door outside.


    She walked in and found Baron’s sister Silvia groping all over Daran.


    Tonight when she arrived at Daran’s office, she happened to run into Silvia again.


    Only this time Silvia was kept outside of the office door.


    Two guards blocked her way. And she was crying in an anguished tone, “Please…Just


    let me talk to him! Let me go inside. You guys let me thest time, remember?” “We can’t, Miss.”


    One guard said, “Alpha said that he didn’t want to see you.”


    “You didn’t even check with him first! How do you know whether he wants to see me or not?!” Silvia


    snapped.


    Two guards exchanged a look together.


    And then another guard said, “Your brother, the former Gamma, had caused enough trouble to this


    pack. The Alpha is in his office dealing with the mess your brother left. It is best if you don’t go in


    there and disturb him.”


    Silvia’s beautiful face contorted in rage.


    “You bunch of snobs! You are only stopping me because my brother has lost his power! But my


    father is a war hero! And he will always be a hero! Doesn’t that mean anything to you? You wouldn’t


    even be here if my father hadn’t fought off the rogues! So move your ass and let me in now!”


    She charged forward and tried to run past the guard. They seized her arms, and she started


    screaming abruptly:


    “Somebody help! Alpha Daran! Your guards are touching me! They are harassing me! God, they are


    tearing off my clothes-”


    “Stop yelling!”


    J raised her voice and snapped as she stepped out of the corner where she had been


    standing.


    The guards seemed relieved to see J. They bowed to her humbly and asked, “Good evening,


    Gamma J. Miss Silvia demanded to see Alpha Daran and we don’t know what to do-”


    Silvia struggled against the guard’s grip and snarled, “Why are you asking for her opinion?! She


    wasn’t even a member of the Riverside Pack. She is a f*cking outsider!”


    “Outsider?”


    J sneered and walked up to Silvia. Her gorgeous eyes gleamed with sarcasm, “Should I remind


    you that I was once your Alpha’s mate and the Luna of Riverside? I share half of the ownership of


    everything in this pack…including the property that you are currently standing on.”


    Silvia looked furious, “Everyone knew that Alpha Daran rejected you! You are ancient history now!


    Damaged Goods! Alpha Daran doesn’t give a damn about you anymore. So you have no right to-”


    “Wrong.”


    An icy voice came behind their back. The office door was wrenched open from inside and Daran


    was standing there staring at Silvia sullenly.


    Silvia was stunned, “Alpha Daran…”


    Daran’s eyes glinted coldly.


    And he said, “J is the most important person in my life and I will any price to have her back as


    my mate and my Luna. Which means that she has every right in this pack as I do, including


    expelling you from Riverside.”


    Silvia couldn’t help but quiver away from Daran’s sharp gaze,


    Daran stepped aside and turned to J, the look on his face turned soft immediately, “You want to


    come inside?”

    J nodded and walked over,


    Before she shut the door onto Silvia’s face, she looked at Silvia in her eyes one more time and


    smiled, “Oh one more thing. I don’t need to be Daran’s mate and Luna to throw you out of here. I


    am a Gamma, who has thousands of soldiers following my lead. I don’t have to rely on anybody.


    Unlike you, without your father and brother, you are nothing.”


    She shut the door with a bang and blocked Silvia’s screaming from outside. She turned and looked


    at Daran, who had a frustrated look on his face.


    “Sorry you have to see that,” Daran sighed.


    “No, I get it. Crazy admirer. Been there,” J shrugged with a smile.


    Daran slightly narrowed his eyes. And his voice turned dark, “You have crazy admirers too?”


    J sensed a hint of jealousy in his voice. But she pretended that she didn’t notice that, “It is


    perfectly natural for a single woman like me to have admirers, don’t you think?”


    “Anyone I have met?” Daran demanded, “That soldier of yours, Kass? Glen? Silver w’s Alpha


    Jared? Or-”


    “That’s quite a list. How long have you been working on that?” J giggled.


    She paced to the wine cab to pour herself a ss. Daran followed right behind her. His eyes


    lingered on the back of her neck and his voice became hoarse, “How I wish to mark you as mine


    and no man would ever dare toe near you ever again-”


    “Well, you can’t.”


    J turned around with two sses of wine and shoved one of them into Daran’s hand.


    She smiled slyly, “You could, but you threw that chance away. Remember?”


    Daran tightened his grip on the wine ss, “How many times are you going to remind me of the


    biggest mistake of my life?”


    “Till I get bored. And I am enjoying this little inside joke too much right now. So it is not going to


    happen anytime soon.”


    J tilted her ss and clinked it with Daran’s, “Cheers.”


    She took a sip and then paced to Daran’s desk, “What are you walking on sote at night?”


    “The mess Baron left behind. I need to make sure all the money he pocketed flows in the right


    direction now…And also, the battle n.”


    Daran followed J to his desk and pulled out a map from the bottom of the pile of files.


    “I got a report from the border early today saying that they had found trails of the rogues moving


    eastward. If this piece of information is urate, I think the rogue’s


    first stop is going to be–”


    He tapped a red circle on the map.


    “Greenwald Vige,” J agreed with a nod. “Yes, Maxie and I were just talking about this today.


    We’ll take the advance force to Greenwald Vige and build an outpost there. If the rogues dare to


    invade us, we will kick their ass hard.” “Promise me to stay safe. And don’t get yourself in danger,”


    Daran said huskily. J turned to meet his eyes. A soft smile appeared on her lips, “Are you


    questioning my ability?”


    “No. I know you are a strong warrior and a capable Gamma. The thing is…” He paused. And raised


    a hand to push a lock of J’s hair out of her face.


    …I care too much about you,” he breathed.


    J held her breath involuntarily as he brought his hand to cup her cheek. They both stared at


    each other deeply with their heart rates quickening.


    J put her hand on Daran’s. But she didn’t push him away.


    “You know…” she whispered with a quiet voice, “There is something I want to do before-”


    Just then, the office door flew open interrupting their moment. A guard came rushing inside and


    cried, “Alpha Daran!”


    Daran snapped his head around and snapped, “Out!”


    But the guard didn’t listen to his order this time. Instead, he stood on his spot and said with a shaky


    voice:


    “Alpha Daran…The rogues areing. NOW!”
