Chapter 146


    “If you know that he is fake. Why didn’t you say anything?” J asked Morgana.


    “Because I didn’t think that it matters.


    Morgana shrugged and said in an indifferent sort of way.


    “Lance’s army is already fucked, full of thieves, killers, bandits, and all kinds of scum. Sure, Westin


    faked his identity, but his issue is basically nothingpared to the others. I just need to


    ow that he is a good warrior and that is all that I need.”


    J let out a sigh.


    That was fair.


    Most rogues were expelled from their packs because they did something horrible. You couldn’t


    expect a group of convicts to have a clean background.


    “So you have no idea who Westin really is? And why did he take his identity and be a soldier


    of yours?”


    Morgana paused. And then slowly shook her head.


    “No. I never bothered to find out. And he is really careful with keeping himself away. from the radar.


    He followed my every order, nailed every task, and reported back to me on time. I never felt the


    need to check on him again.”


    The furrow between J’s brows grew deeper.


    Sounded like that this Westin guy was really smart and good at hiding himself.


    “I think he is a friend, not an enemy.”


    Morgana rubbed her chin and spected.


    “Just think about it. If he really wants to pledge his loyalty to Lance, why bother faking his identity?


    The only reason that he went undercover was because he was nning on something against


    Lance.”


    J nodded, “That makes sense…But if he is a friend from our world, howe I never see him


    before?”


    With that face and body, Westin was someone impossible to ignore.


    J had met with every important person from all therge packs during their alliance, from the


    Alphas to the Betas.


    She was certain that this was their first encounter.


    “Maybe hees from a smaller pack?” Morgana suggested. “Or maybe he is just amon


    soldier.”


    “No. He is definitely someone from power. I can feel it.”


    Although Westin was dressed in amon soldier’s uniform, he still exuded grace. and nobility.


    It was the kind of nobility that J had only seen in people from high positions, like Daran and


    Casper.


    Morgana scratched her head, “Do you want me to check him out? See what I can find?”


    “Thank you. That would be nice.” J nodded.


    “And you can ask him yourself…not directly though. Just beat around the bushes. See what he is


    up to. You guys are mates now. You should get to know him a little bit better.”


    J nodded.


    But there was a subtle undercurrent of resistance inside of her heart.


    Probably because her second chance mate appeared too out of the blue and she was not ready.


    Or simply because…she was not over a certain someone.


    “What should we do now?” J asked, bringing the topic back to the main issue. “Is there still a


    chance for me to leave the city?”


    “It is going to be hard, with all the chaos and messes that we caused tonight. But


    don’t worry. I will help you the best I can.”


    Morgana wrapped J in a long coat and pulled down the hood.


    “I will take you to a training site and hide you there. When these calm down, I will find another


    chance to sneak you out of the city…”


    Yet her words were interrupted by a roaring wolf howl.


    J and Morgana jerked around in shock and saw a figure loosen up out of the darkness.


    It was a gigantic ck wolf, its eyesrge as yellownterns, its height higher than the stone walls.


    It jumped over the courtyard’s wall andnded on the cobblestone ground in front of


    J and Morgana with a loud thump.


    It was Daran.


    He had found them.


    J looked up to the giant wolf and her heart quickly sank.

    Probably because they always fought side by side with each other, so she never realized how


    intimidating and scary Daran’s wolf was…


    Until now.


    “Why can he shift in the city!” J hissed.


    “He recognized himself as rogue. So the taboo is lifted!” Morgana grabbed her wrist, “Get behind


    my back!”


    But there was no use.


    There was nowhere else for J to hide.


    The ck wolf was lowering its head towards them, its fangs bared, its eyes bloodshot.


    “You should never run away from me, J.”


    Daran’s dark voice echoed in the empty courtyard.


    “You promised that you would always stay by my side…So looks like your own words meant nothing


    to you.”


    J gave a sudden sh of anger.


    “How dare you talk about promises!”


    She raised her head and cried to the ck wolf furiously.


    “You made a lot of promises to me yourself! Remember?! You promised that we would end this war


    together and kill Lance! You promised that I would be the only woman you love! And you fucking


    forgot all those!!! So don’t expect me to keep my words as well you fucking asshole!


    The wolf arched its back and made a deep growl.


    J thought that it was going to jump at her and tear her apart.


    She shut her eyes, clenching her fists with despair.


    Yet the expected pain never came


    A few secondster, an icy–cold hand grabbed her wrist.


    J opened her eyes again and found that Daran had shifted back to human again.


    He was now looking down at her with dark eyes.


    “Come back with me,” he said forcefully.


    “NO!”


    J struggled with her full might, “Why do you still want me anyway? You have plenty of women


    now, You made a choice! So just fucking let me go!”


    Daran’s jaw tightened in rage.


    “You wish!” he hissed, clenching onto her hand. “Come back with me and let me exin. But letting


    you leave… NEVER.


    J’s body shook furiously.


    She reached for her dagger with another hand.


    She wanted to stab this fucking asshole.


    It probably wouldn’t kill him….but anything to make him feel the pain!


    Yet before her finger touched the hilt of the dagger, a figure came in between her and Daran.


    ‘Alpha Daran, this is not the way to treat ady,” said Westin in a calm yet stern voice.


    The two men stood about the same height, ring at each other. Tension was quickly building in the


    air.


    Daran’s eyes were slits of fury, “Who the fuck are you?”


    Westin curved his lips into an icy smile, “I report to Lady Morgana.”


    Daran let out a cold snort, “Your boss is in deep shits herself right now. So fuck off soldier. This is


    none of your business.”


    Yet Westin stood in front of him, unyielding.


    “But I kind of feel that this is my business,” Westin said.


    J’s heart skipped a beat.


    She had a sudden feeling of what Westin was going to say but she hardly thought that this was a


    good time…


    “Westin!” she hissed urgently, hoping that he would shut up.


    But he didn’t.


    “J is my mate,” said Westin loud and clear. “So keep your hand off, my mate.”


    A deathly silence fell upon them.


    Daran rounded his eyes, astonished.


    His handsome face was slowly contorted by fury.


    “…She is your WHAT?” he snarled.
