Chapter 150
Harper held her head down, still struggling internally.
“Guards.” Lance commanded, “Lady Harper needs some help.”
“Yes, my King!”
Soldiers took an eager step forward immediately.
“Wait a second!” Harper cried.
Being forced by a bunch of lowly guards… It looked even worse than getting on the knees herself.
Harper took a deep breath and shuffled forward:
She murmured, “Janet, I-”
“Get on the right pose,” Daran reminded in a freezing voice.
Harper quivered.
She was always more horrified when facing Daran than the others. Probably because he used to be her Alpha and she betrayed him.
With an utterly humiliated face, Harper slowly knelt down in front of Janet.
“J–Janet…”
She gritted.
…I am
sorry…”
“Louder,” Janet demanded. “I can’t hear you.”
Harper shot her a resentful look but obeyed eventually.
“Janet, I am sorry!” she cried shakily.
Yet Janet didn’t plan to let her off the hook that easily, “You are sorry for what?”
Harper clenched her fists in fume, “I–I am sorry for harming you…behind Alpha Daran’s back…And I plead for your forgiveness…
Janet chuckled lightly, “You don’t even have your King, AKA your mate’s support on this. How does that make you feel, huh? Do you feel like a complete idiot?”
Harper snapped her head up, her eyes gleaming angrily, “I am not going to answer that! That is not part of the-”
“Answer her,” Daran stressed. “NOW.”
Lance cleared his throat awkwardly. Yet he didn’t say anything to help Harper. He simply watched by the side as this played out.
Harper lowered her head even further as though there was a heavy stone on her
neck
“Yes, I feel like an idiot,” she repeated in a venomous tone.
The soldiers jeered lightly.
Nobody liked the King’s rude and arrogant mate.
Harper always treated the servants horribly, scolding them and punishing them whenever she felt like it, an old habit that she got back in the Riverside Pack
But here was the Grace Ruin.
No one would put up with her bad temper.
So all the soldiers were gloating over her being humiliated by Janet.
“Yes, an idiot.” Janet let out an icy laugh. “Remember that. And don’t come and mess me ever again.”
Harper said nothing but instead gave Janet a secret look full of malice.
Janet knew that Harper must hate her to the bone now.
But she was not too afraid of that.
She had made a decision to kill Harper when she had the chance again, something she should have done a long time ago.
She should have ended this evil woman when they were still in Riverside Pack Instead, she gives Harper a second chance, which causes Harper to gang up with Lance and leads to Veronica’s death.
When the right time came, she would fix her own mistake.
Without hesitation
“You need a doctor,” Daran said.
He bent down to pick her up from the floor. But she avoided him instantly.
“I can walk by myself,” she said aloofly.
Daran’s face darkened when she rejected him.
“You are injured,” he snapped.
“My legs are fine. I can walk.”
Janet tried to pull herself up from the floor.
And just then, Lance spoke up again, “Alpha Daran, I think we are not done yet. We still haven’t discussed her punishment…for killing my soldiers.”
Daran’s jaw tightened.
“We covered that,” he snarled. “My attitude is clear.”
“Look, I agree that cutting Janet’s hands off was too much. But I have to do something to make things seem fair. Plus, now that you have become one of us, those dead soldiers are your soldiers as well.”
Lance looked at Daran with a smirk, “If you refuse to avenge your own soldiers….I might begin to wonder if you are serious about joining us.”
Janet’s heart sank.
Lance was threatening Daran.
He hadn’t told Daran about when and how he was going to make Daran The King yet.
Now was not a good time for Daran to mess with him.
“Look” Lance spread his bands, “I am talking about serious punishment.
Something minor will do. Gamma Janet, how about you take up some maid duties to
compensate for your mistake?”
Janet raised an eyebrow
Lance wanted her to serve as a maid.
His motive was quite clear. He wanted to humiliate her by degrading to a lowly maid.
But Lance didn’t know that she was quite used to life as a maid, something she used. to do all the time in the Diaz family.
Plus, being a maid meant that she could get out of the room and walk around.
She would get her freedom back
It was a great deal
So janet answered right away without hesitation, “Yes.”
But Deran spoke up at the same time, “NO.”
Having heard about her answer, Daran snapped his head toward her with an angry look
“You would let them do this to you?” he hissed.
“It is none of your business.”
His face darkened. “I know what you are trying to do here, Janet. You just want to stay the fuck away from me. Do you really hate me so much that you are willing to serve Lance and Harper as a maid?!”
Janet sneered, amused by what Daran just said.
“Yes, I hate you. I think we have made that clear already.”
She met with Daran’s hurtful eyes and said, “And don’t make it sound like that being a maid is such a horrible thing. You let me work as a maid for years, remember? When I was still your Luna.
Daran’s breathing became heavy.
There was a defeated look on his face.
After a long pause, he said through his gritted teeth, “If that is what you really want, fine. But don’t crawl back and beg me to help you when you are in trouble.”
He said that and stormed out of the room in long strides.
“Well then, looks like a decision has been made!”
Lance clapped his hands together with a simper, “Gamma Janet, are you ready for your new job?”
Janet looked at him coldly.
She knew that he would use this chance to make her life miserable.
But she was ready for the task.
Her main goal was to find a chance and ascape the cit: When cha rauni
