Chapter 9
Daran’s face darkened.
There was an irritated look on all member’s faces from Riverside Pack.
Clearly, Casper was insulting their Alpha.
But there was nothing they could do about it because Baron had just lost to Janet. And it was a fight that Baron started.
Surrounded by people, Janet got off the wrestling ring and walked to them. Her body was covered in a thin layer of sweat, which glittered in the bright sunshine.
Raising a hand to wipe her forehead, Janet stopped by Daran’s side and beamed at him:
“Alpha Daran, I hope you enjoyed this fight.”
Daran stared at her.
Her stunning figure, which screamed power and grace, made Daran’s heart skip a beat.
Janet smiled. She then looked over her shoulder and raised her volume asking, “Gamma Baron, do you still have any doubts now?”
Everyone turned to Baron.
He just pulled himself off the ground, still holding his broken jaw. His large face was tomato–red. He was utterly embarrassed by his defeat.
Hearing Janet’s question, Baron clenched his teeth. He was still unconvinced, but there was nothing he could say given the outcome.
So he snorted coldly and snapped his head to the side.
Janet’s face turned cold seeing his reaction.
She crossed her arms in front of her chest and said coolly, “If Gamma Baron still has doubts, I’m very happy to go round 2.”
Some boos came from the crowd.
“Sour losers!” Eden cried.
“Yeah!” someone from BloodMoon Pack agreed, “Our Gamma defeated a man twice of her size! She was clearly stronger and more capable than all of you combined!”
Those words angered Riverside Pack’s members greatly.
“What the hell did you just say?” Daran’s Beta Justin strode forward and snapped, “Baron had gone to countless battlefields. The number of rogues he had killed was larger than your pack members! What the hell have your twat Gamma done?”
“Watch your f**king language!”
Members from both packs approached each other, all glaring furiously.
It would soon turn into a riot.
Just then, a shaky female voice rose above all noises, shrieking:
-And who knew how Janet won that fib
Everyone jerked around to look for the voice.
Harper was standing in the crowd, her face pale and twisted. Her eyes flickered with jealousy when she looked at Janet.
Daran left her in the suite this morning because she was not qualified to join the pack’s meeting.
She was wandering around in BloodMoon Pack, thinking of ways to take down Janet, when she heard loud cheering from the wrestling ring.
Harper couldn’t believe her eyes when she found out what was happening.
…Janet had defeated Gamma Baron?
No. There’s no way–How is this possible?!
Harper remembered clearly that Janet was the weakest among all of them growing up.
Their middle brother Olive enjoyed taking Janet to the training field and beating the shit out of her.
“Get up you weak little pussy!” Olive would roar at her, kicking her hard on the back. “Show me what you’ve got!”
Yet Janet was never capable of fighting back.
All she ever did was cover her head with her hands and curled up on the ground, shivering like a scared lamb.
Harper had always enjoyed watching Olive bully Janet. A great sense of pleasure would rise in her when she saw Janet crumble by their feet.
But how could Janet suddenly become so strong and powerful?
Harper clenched her fists in rage and disbelief.
This wasn’t possible!
Having heard Harper’s question, Janet turned around with a sneer on her face.
“Are you questioning me now, Harper?” she asked coldly.
Janet started walking towards Harper. The crowd quickly parted in the middle to let her through.
Intimidated by Janet’s strong aura, Harper took a shaky step back.
But Janet grabbed her by the shoulder to stop her from running away.
“Are you saying that—” Janet looked down at her and hissed, “—I didn’t win fair and square?”
Harper gulped down nervously.
She suddenly felt very afraid of Janet!
But those words had left her mouth already, Harper had no choice but to continue saying:
“Yes! Why? Are you afraid that I might speak out the truth? There’s no way you can become this strong in 6 months! You must have taken a medicine or something. But deep down, you are still that weak little twat!”
Janet narrowed her eyes, “You dare say that again?”
Harper raised her chin defiantly and cried, “I said! You are still that tw-”
Janet raised her arm and slapped Janet hard across her face!
SLAP!
There was a sharp intake from the crowd.
Harper’s face was slapped to the side. A visible hand mark gradually appeared on her skin.
Harper froze as though she couldn’t believe what just happened. A few seconds later, she suddenly jerked
around and screamed:
“How dare you-
“How dare I what?” Janet grabbed her chin and asked coldly, “You are only a citizen whereas I’m the Gamma! You better show your respect or I’ll rip your filthy mouth apart and nobody would have a problem with that!”
Harper shivered in fear and rage looking at her.
Judging by the look on Janet’s face, she knew Janet was capable of that!
Nobody stood out for Harper, not even members from Riverside Pack. People simply watched their interactions quietly in their spots.
Janet tightened her grip on Harper’s jaw and asked in a low voice that only both of them could hear:
“And have you ever thought about why I have become this strong?”
Harper stuttered, “W–Why?”
