Chapter 166
J blurted out, “What are you-
Morgana put one finger on her lips, shushing her, and pointed to J’s left. J saw a back door
leading to the yard on her left.
She immediately stood up, bent down, and snuck out of the kitchen quietly.
The head maid was yelling at the others to give her a hand with the pastries.
No one in the kitchen noticed that J had left.
As soon as J was out of the kitchen, she sprinted forward to hug Morgana, “Morgana! How
have you been?”
How long had it been since shest saw Morgana?
Theyst saw each other during J’stest attempt to escape. They were kept apart since Daran
caught J back and locked her up.
It must have been half a month already.
Morgana hugged her back tightly, “I am fine! That fucking son of a bitch Lance sent me out on
patrols to keep me away from you…So how are you? What the fuck–look at those bruises and
scars on your face and body!”
J still got a huge p mark across her face.
Her rolled–up sleeves showed plenty of stripes on her forearm.
“Who did this to you? Was it Harper? Or Daran?” Morgana hissed.
“It was Harper…Look, probably can’t talk for long.” J looked back to the kitchen, “I still have
work to do.”
“Don’t worry. I got that covered.”
Morgana blew a light whistle, and a soldier–looking woman rounded the corner, walkine un to them
She was about the same size as Janer, with the same fall color. People wont De able to tell their
differences by just looking at their backs.
“Meet my soldier, ire,” Morgana introduced.
ire beamed at J, “Nice to meet you, Gamma J. I have heard so many things about you.
Go ahead and talk with Lady Morgana. I got you covered.”
She let down her hair and put on a mask.
She burrowed J’s apron and headed into the kitchen.
“Will this work?” J was a bit worried.
“Rx. The people in the kitchen just met you today. They won’t be able to tell the difference. Come
on, we really need to talk.”
Morgana led J to a small shed next to the kitchen where the maids kept the firewood.
Two men were in the shed, waiting for them.
Kass, and Westin.
Westin strode forward and pulled J into his arms as soon as they came in.
He hugged her tightly, his finger trailing the p mark on her cheek.
“It is my fault,” he said hoarsely.
“No. It is nobody’s fault.” J patted his back reassuringly. “There is nothing you can do under that
circumstance.”
Daran had obviously lost his mind the other day. Westin didn’t have his wolf so there was no way he
could win that fight with Daran.
He tried his best already. J didn’t me him.
Westin breathed heavily, “…I will make them pay. I promise.”
“OK, you two lovebirds can find another time to coddle.” Morgana said, “We don’t have much time.”
J blushed and pulled herself away from Westin’s hug. Yet he still kept one arm. around her
waist.
“Hey Kass,” she smiled at Kass, relieved to see him still doing alright after all these times.
Kass replied with a soft smile.
“So, the most important issue at hand.” Morgana said, “We should figure out a way. to help J
escape. She can’t stay in this pce any longer. Look what those monsters had done to her.‘
“I think I will be safe for the time being.” J said, “Lance just warned Harper to stop abusing me
last night. Somehow he still finds me useful and wants to use me to get to Daran.”
“But we can all agree that his coboration with Daran is just temporary. Once he is done with
Daran, he will put your head in a noose without a second of hesitation. J nodded, “Yeah, that is
right. And I really need to alert Casper about what is going on with the rogues. So if there is a way
to escape, that would be nice.”

Kass rubbed his chin, a deep furrow between his brows.
“It is going to be harder than you expect,” he said grimly. “The size of the soldiers guarding this
pce had doubled. And you need a pass granted by the king himself to leave the Grace Ruin. This
city is literally an iron bucket.”
“There must be some breaches that we can find,” Morgana frowned.
“Unless you know any secret tunnel leading outside, not guarded by the soldiers, then I don’t know
which route is safe for us-”
“…The wedding,” Westin said abruptly.
J’s eyes lit up.
Right.
The wedding!
It was the perfect timing, with all the guestsing into the city and the pce. packed with
outsiders and strangers.
It would be hard for the soldiers to watch over them.
Plus, Lance and Harper would be preupied by the wedding.
“The wedding will work,” J nodded firmly.
“Great! Then we will set the mission date for their wedding.” Morgana grinned, “My guy will find
an opening and snuck you out of the pce. Then-
“It won’t be necessary.”
Westin interrupted her.
“J will being with my men.”
There was a short moment of silence in the shed.
All three of them were stunned by what Westin just said.
“Y–Your men?” Kass blinked his eyes, utterly confused. “…I don’t get it. You work for Morgana,
don’t you? Doesn’t ‘your men‘ equal to ‘her men‘?”
Morgana let out a cold snort, fixing her eyes on Westin’s face, “Wake up, Kass. This guy is no
regr soldier. He has a secret identity that none of us know.”
Westin ignored the two of them.
He turned to J and said in a deep voice, “I will have my guye and find you at the wedding.
He will escort you out of the city, keeping you safe.”
“Hold on a second!”
Morgana cried, raising her voice, “You can’t decide that kind of thing yourself! At least tell us who
you are first.”
J stared at Westin closely as well.
She did want to know about his identity first before letting him help her.
Yet Westin simply said nonchntly, “My identity is not relevant here.”
“What the fuck? I am not cing Gamma J’s safety in the hand of a stranger!” Kass protested.
“Yeah, what if you are an enemy? What if you abduct J? We can’t take that risk!” Morgana
echoed, “We are on the same board here. Just tell us your secret!”
Westin slowly turned to look at the two of them.
His face became cold and grim.
“… You two are rogues. Hence, I don’t trust you.” He said in a condescending voice. Morgana
rounded her eyes in rage.
Though she was a bit intimidated by Westin’s aura, anger still made her blurt out:
“We were the ones helping J before you showed up! You are the untrustworthy ! You are the
untrustworthy guy here, not us!”
“I am her mate. I won’t harm her.”
Kass huffed, “Oh yeah? Look what her first mate did to her!”
Westin’s face darkened.
“Do notpare me to Daran,” he said icily. “And frankly speaking, what you two think means very
little to me. J is all I care about.”
He turned back to J. The grim look on his face softened instantly.
“What do you say? Do you trust me?” he asked.
J looked back at him, pondering.
After a few moments of hesitation, she nodded, “I might regret thister…but yeah. I
do trust you.”
“Gamma J!” Kass cried.
“You are making a huge mistake!” Morgana snapped.
“Calm down, you guys,” J said reassuringly. “I can feel it… Westin is not a bad guy. He is after
the same things we do.”
Herst bits of doubt about Westin were dispelled when she saw that he couldn’t shift into his wolf.
Which meant that he didn’t recognize himself as a rogue.
That spoke louder than anything else.
“I vouched for him,” J stressed. “Please trust me.”
Morgana and Kass still looked reluctant.
Westin smiled and picked up J’s hand, nting a kiss on the back of her hand. “You won’t
regret this,” he said in a husky voice, his eyes gleaming gorgeously.
“But when we get out of this safe, I want to know about your identity,” she demanded.
Westin replied with a mysterious smile and whispered, “…You will find out about it yourself sooner
than you expect.”
J raised an eyebrow.
She was curious. But she didn’t pursue it.
Morgana rubbed her hair looking frustrated anat
Morgana rubbed her hair, looking frustrated. “J…if you really think this is the right decision, then
fine. Kass and I will still look out for you,”
“Thanks. I appreciate it.”
J smiled.
“Oh, and before I leave this ce for good, there is something else I want to do.”
The three of them looked at her simultaneously.
“I want to fuck Harper’s wedding,” J said freezingly.
