Chapter 22
Daran stared at her. His eyes were red with rage.
“What they said…is it true?” he asked with a hoarse voice.
Janet sneered, “If I say it’s true,
Daran’s grip loosened.
will you believe me?”
The maid dropped down to the floor, coughing violently.
“Then if they’re not the boss, who is?” he asked dryly.
Janet found it ridiculous that he even had to ask.
“You know it yourself.”
Janet casted an icy glare on Daran and turned her back on him.
“You just didn’t want to face it.

Janet headed to the front door in long strides. She heard Daran calling her name behind her back.
But she didn’t turn around.
When she was still in Riverside Pack, Janet had tried to talk to him about her situation many times
before. But each time she opened her mouth, he would interrupt her coldly.
He was so convinced that Hellen and Harper were good people. So he scorned her and told her to stop
foul mouthing her own parents and sister.
Daran didn’t give her any support when she needed it the most. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Now, the truth didn’t matter anymore.
Janet left the hotel and went to the outdoor training field.
It was only 7 in the morning.
Yet there were many soldiers running on the tracks already.
Janet came into the training field and started doing her warm–up by the track side.
Each time a member from Blood Moon Pack ran past Janet, they would stop and greet Janet loudly:
“Morning, Gamma Janet!”
“It’s a pleasure to see you’re here Gamma Janet!”
“A beautiful morning, Gamma Janet!”
Janet smiled and greeted each one of them warmly.
These soldiers all have loud voices. So their interaction soon caught many other people’s attention.
“Why are all those large men greeting to a small woman?” a soldier from Riverside whispered to his
friend.
“I don’t know…I heard she is their Gamma?”
“Holy Crap. A woman as Gamma? She must be a natural!”
Janet loosened up her body and ran onto the tracks.
She didn’t give them any orders. But everyone from Blood Moon Pack all chose to run behind her back
in orderly lines.
It was these soldiers‘ instinct to follow their Gamma’s steps.
They did this every morning in Blood Moon Pack.
It was the natural thing to do for members from Blood Moon Pack.
But not for people from Riverside Pack.
Everyone was bemused as of why a group of large, study men were following a petite woman like that.
Janet finished her 10 kilos under those curious gazes.
When she got off the tracks, her face was red and covered in hot sweats.
She pulled her shirt up and used the corner to wipe her forehead.
“Gamma Janet!”
A youthful voice came behind her back at this moment.
“Do you want water?”
Janet turned and found a soldier from Blood Moon Pack standing behind her back.
He was a young man at around 18 years old. He had a pretty face of an angel with light golden hair
and almond brown eyes.
Because it was summer and he just finished his morning exercise, he had taken his shirt off.
Now his firm chest was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
This
young man blushed when they eyes met and handed Janet a bottle of water.
“… Here,” he mumbled sheepishly.
Janet smiled and took the water from him, “Still keeping up with your morning routine Kass?”
The young man named Kass grinned and flashed his white teeth, “Of course. Like you told me, 20 kilos
each morning. Never missed it for a day.”
“Good,” Janet nodded with a smile.
The young man’s eyes glinted with joy when he heard her compliment.
Kass was Blood Moon Pack’s soldiers. But he had a miserable early life.
He was an orphan living by the border. His parents both died in a battle between the rogues and Blood
Moon Pack. He enlisted in Blood Moon’s army after he lost his entire family because he had nowhere
else to go.
Yet because he came from a far–away town, maybe too close to the rogue’s territory, none of the other
soldiers trusted him very much. Kass was severely discriminated in the army.
Until Janet came and became their Gamma.
She convinced other soldiers to take Kass in and treat him with respect.
Because of this, Kass had regarded her as his life savior since then. He would follow her everywhere
she went like a chick imprinted on his mother.
Janet drank her water and headed towards the dining hall with Kass following closely behind her back.
“When do we start our official training, Gamma Janet?” Kass asked enthusiastically, “And are you going
to be there when we trained?”
“The training will begin in a few days. And yes, I’m going to be there.” Janet smiled. “Great!” Kass
beamed, “I promise I won’t let you down in front of other pack’s soldiers.”
The way he smiled reminded Janet of a golden retriever.
She couldn’t help but reach out and rub his hair–though he was taller than she was. “I trust you,” Janet
said softly. “Have you had breakfast yet?”
“Not yet.”
“Then come to the dining hall with me,” Janet said.
Kass scratched his head and shook his head reluctantly, “I probably shouldn’t…the dining hall is
reserved for Alphas and nobles only. Soldiers like us have our own places to eat.”
“No, I insist.” Janet patted his shoulder, “You are with me now. Come.”
Kass’s mouth stretched into a large smile.
When they arrived at the dining hall, the room was already seated with people, all of whom were nobles
from Riverside and officials from packs here for the training.
The breakfast was open buffet.
They joined the line of people taking food.
A few people ahead of them were in the middle of a heated discussion.
And they happened to be talking about Janet.
“Indeed! And I heard she’s been fucking Blood Moon’s Alpha. What a slut…‘ A loud howl suddenly rang
out, interrupting their words.
A tall figure dashed forward and grabbed one of the gossipers by her collar.
Kass’s handsome face was filled with rage as he leant close to the woman’s horror–struck face and
hissed:
“What the fuck are you saying?!”
The noble lady quivered in fear and screamed, “Who the hell are you! Security! Help me!”
Everyone in the dining hall snapped their heads around and watched.
“I’m Gamma Janet’s soldier!” Kass snapped, “No one disrespect my Gamma in front of me. Apologize,
now!”
The woman screamed and struggled violently. But there’s no way she could out–strong Kass.
A few security guards approached Kass carefully.
Kass jerked around and hissed at them, exposing his sharp fangs.
Those guards froze in fear instantly.
In the midst of tension, Janet spoke up with a calm voice, “It’s alright, Kass. Let her go.”
“But…”
Kass looked back at her, a grievance look on his face.
“They were speaking shit about you,” he twitched his mouth.
Janet patted his tensed shoulder, “I know. I’ll deal with it later.”
It still felt nice to have somebody on her side unwaveringly.
Right at this moment, a few people walked into the dining hall together. The leading person was Hellen
and Harper followed right behind her mother.
Harper quickly examined the situation before covering her mouth and gasped:
“Oh god…what happened?”
