Chapter 183
J knew that Morgana’s warning was real.
But this wasn’t like drawing straws.
She really didn’t know which one of them she should choose.
The only thing she could do was to wait and let the decisione to her naturally. They took
roughly a week to tidy things up, to rebuild some parts of the castle, to wee the citizens back to
the city, and to get the city back on track.
Most citizens didn’t care if there was a new King.
As long as there was a ce for them to live in, they didn’t care who sat on the throne.
A weekter, it was finally time for them to return to Blood Moon Pack.
Since they were not in a rush or anything, they decided to take the car instead of running as their
wolves.
Yet right before departure, Daran and Westin got into another fight.
They both wanted to ride in the same car with J.
“I know the way back home. So naturally I should ride with J,” Daran said with a raised chin.
“Anyone with a map or/a working GPS on their phone knows the way. That is not al very good
reason,” Westin raised a brow, “Yet on the other hand…our car is better.”
It was true.
The Lycans brought with them a luxurious SUV, which made the other two Jeeps that Kass
arranged for them look shabby and worn.
that Kass arranged for them look shabby and worn.
“Lady J, let me give you a brief tour of our car.
Edwin pulled the back door open and revealed the back seat:
“The hand–crafted leather seat with the seat warmer to make your entire journeyfortable and
warm; a built–in refrigerator with all kinds of cool beverages that you can possibly imagine; an in–
car entertainment center, games, movies, TV shows, you name it. The 10–hour trip will fly by. Of
course, if you prefer thepany of our King, he will be sitting right next to you.”
Westin nodded to J with a charming smile.
Your car is outdated.” Daran said with a disdainful face, “We have thested model in Riverside
Pack. Even the windows are bulletproof.”
Westin let out a chuckle, “We don’t need a bulletproof car because we can handle all kinds of
dangers.”
“Are you saying that I am weak?!”
“Do you need to hide behind a bulletproof window?”
The two men red at each other, their eyes filled with hostility and spite.
“Maybe you two should fight for the privilege of riding with J ”
Morgana rubbed her chin and said with a sly smile, eager to see their quarrel escte, “You know,
let the best man escort the princess.”
“Fine by me!” Daran hissed.
Westin shrugged, “If you are not afraid of being knocked over to the ground again, I am happy to do
a rematch.”
“ENOUGH!”
J snapped impatiently, “If I hear another word of your childish argument, I am running back
home myself!”
“But which car are you going to take?” Westin asked.
“I am riding with Kass and Morgana.”
J hopped in one of the Jeeps and mmed the door shut.
Kass and Morgana got into the car as well, with Kass behind the wheel and Morgana in the back
seat J.
“You shouldn’t challenge them to a fight,” J groaned to Morgana as they drove out of the Grace
Ruin. “You know they can’t stand each other.
Morgana propped her elbow on the window frame and giggled, “Yeah, I know. But the fight between
them is going to break out sooner orter. There is no way you can stop it.
J mumbled, “I just want them to remain civil as long as possible.”
“You won’t know which one of them is the best option for you by keeping things civil. You have to let
them fight for it and let the winner rise. It is natural selection.”
Morgana looked out the window and blew a whistle, “But right now, I am leaning towards Westin.
Look at that car. It is easy. The Lycans got money.”
“But the Riverside Pack has money as well.”
Kass said with his eyes on the road.
“Do you guys know that the Riverside Pack is rising to be the wealthiest pack in the whole
world? It is a rtively new pack, but its pack members are bing the richest 1 percent. Just
imagine how much money its Alpha has.”
“So what?” Morgana rolled her eyes, “He wouldn’t spend that money on J. He didn’t even pay
for that 100 million ransom when she was kidnapped.”
J let out a sigh, “Kass, so you think I should pick Daran?”
“Well, personal feelings aside…I
reliable. And he is a werewolf, lie Alpha Daran. He is a real man, tough, strong,
all of us.”
J had never heard Kass speaking this fondly of Daran before.
And that reminded her of something.
“Kass, Daran hasn’t asked you for your blood, right?” she asked.
“No. And I won’t give anyone my blood until you tell me to. I will follow on this, Gamma J.
J smiled, “I am not your Gamma anymore. You are a King now.” “You will always be my
Gamma in my heart.”
your order
Morgana patted J’s shoulder, “Making Daran the Werewolf King or not…it is your call to make. I
think those two men know about this as well. And that is why they are fighting so fiercely for you.
Not just for you as their mate, but also for the power that you stand for.”
J shook her head andpsed into silence.
Once again, she found herself in the center of a storm.
Caught in between two powerful men.
Her heart was torn. Even her wolf.
She couldn’t wait to get back to Riverside Pack and see her brother.
She missed Casper so much.
Maybe he would have a better insight.
Maybe he could tell her which man was best for her.
<hr>After days on the road, they finally entered the Blood Moon Pack’s territory on the fourth day at
dawn.
Their car wound its way through the familiar bends of the road.
As J peered through the window, a sense of nostalgia enveloped her.
The green mountains loomed majestically on the horizon, their peaks disappearing into the wisps of
clouds.
A dense forest, a tapestry of vibrant hues, nked the road, the familiar scent of pine needles and
earth wafting through the open window.
“Your home is so beautiful!” Morgana gasped by her side.

“Right?” Jughed, “And this is Kass’s home as well.”
Kass nodded with a smile, “They say that the Blood Moon Pack is the ever–greennd.”
Their cars drove into the city.
J told Casper that they wereing back days ago. So she expected there to be some sort of
a weing ceremony.
She just didn’t know that the ceremony could be this… Huge.
The city’s main streets were adorned with flowers and festooned with ribbons.
A burst of loud cheers and apuses echoed through the air when their cars appeared at the
street’s end.
J was stunned.
She saw growing throngs of citizens lined up by the streets.
The entire city must have left home ande out to the street to wee her!
Some people waved colorful banners and ribbons, while others tossed flower petals in the path of
her car.
Everyone was shouting loudly.
“Princess J! Wee home!‘
“Our Gamma is back!”
“The Rogue King yer! Our heroine!”
Their cries and cheers were almost deafening. Yet J still couldn’t help but roll down her window
and wave at the excited crowd.
“I am back!” she cried.
A burst of joy radiated through her.
She was gone for a very long time. But nobody back home had forgotten about her.
Her heart quickened as their car came into the packhouse’s front yard. Her gaze fixed on the
entrance driveway up ahead where a group of figures came into view.
They must be here to wee her back.
Was Casper here as well?
Excitement bubbled within her. The car slowed, but J couldn’t wait for aplete stop before
jumping off the moving car.
She rushed forward, her heart pounding with every step.
Her eyes searched for her brother’s face among the crowd. She saw Casper’s beta Eden and a few
familiar faces.
But there was no sight of Casper.
“Gamma J! Wee back!”
Eden strode forward and opened his arms for a big hug.
“Thanks! It is great to see you again!” J hugged him back, “Where is Casper? Is
he caught up in a meeting or patrol?”
Eden hesitated.
A worried look appeared on his face, “Something…has happened to Alpha.”
J’s heart skipped a beat, “What?! Is he sick?”
“No, he is not ill…Please. Come with me. You better see for yourself,” Eden sighed.
