Chapter 8
There was a ringing silence in the room.
Baron stared at Janet with a bizarre look. A few seconds later, he suddenly burst into loud laughter. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
He laughed so hard that he was literally rocking back and forth in his seat.
“Y–You? And me? Outside? Are f**king messing with me right now?”
Baron wiped the tears in his eyes and breathed:
“Did you remember how your middle brother Owen used to punch you to half–death in the training field? Well, let’s just say that even Owen can’t last 1 minute against me. Do you still want to try it out?” Janet let out a light chuckle, “Are you afraid?”
“Afraid my ass,” Baron snapped. “I’m going to smash your skull!”
“Or I smash yours,” Janet shrugged.
Baron jumped out of his seat.
Yet Daran put a hand on his shoulder to stop him.
“Alpha Casper,” Daran turned to Casper with a nasty look on his face. “Just excuse Janet from the room and there will be no need for a fight.”
Casper got on his foot idly.
“In fact, I could use a little entertainment before the official meeting begins,” Casper said with a lazy smile.
Daran clenched his fists and glared at Casper in rage and disbelief.
What the f**k was wrong with this man?
Couldn’t he see that Baron was twice the size of Janet?
He was dating Janet now. Didn’t he have any idea how to protect her?
‘… Janet?” Daran snapped his head towards Janet and gritted, “Don’t be silly here. You can’t win over Baron.”
Janet snorted lightly, “Thanks for your pep talk.”
She walked around the table and headed towards the door. Before leaving, she winked provokingly at
Baron:
“See you out there.”
Members from BloodMoon Pack all got up and filed out.
Weirdly, none of them seemed worried for Janet. Instead, they were all chatting and laughing enthusiastically.
Baron blew an exciting whistle and was ready to rush outside.
Yet Daran suddenly dragged him from behind and hissed sulkily:
“…Don’t be too hard on her.”
“What?” Baron cried in disbelief. “You heard that woman Alpha! She was all over herself! Let me teach her a lesson and-”
“You’ll do as I said,” Daran gave him a dark glare.
Baron was hot–tempered. But he didn’t dare challenge his Alpha.
Scratching his head in annoyance, Baron murmured a yes.
Daran let go of Baron and walked outside in long strides. He took a deep breath and tried to push down the irritated feeling in his heart.
10 minutes later, everyone was gathered by the wrestling ring in the training field.
Janet jumped upstage gently.
She grabbed the edge of her hoodie and pulled it over her head.
Underneath she was dressed in a tank top and leggings. Her fit and graceful body immediately caught everyone’s attention.
Janet stretched her shoulders and grinned at Baron,
She raised a hand and crooked her index finger.
“Bring it on,” she beamed.
Baron glared at her.
He was infuriated by Janet’s gesture.
Letting out a deafening roar, he suddenly lunged at Janet!
Astonished
gasps came from the crowd as Janet deftly dodged this powerful charge.
She fluidly followed with a quick jab to the glant’s midsection.
It got him!
A loud applause broke out from the crowd.
Everyone from Blood Moon Pack was jumping ups and downs, cheering for Janet; whereas people from Riverside Pack lapsed into a silent shock.
Daran widened his eyes staring at the petite figure in the wrestling ring.
He couldn’t believe his eyes….
This was Janet?
The same Janet who used to be so weak and pathetic and could only beg for people’s mercy in the training field-
That Janet?!
Daran felt his heart rate quickened.
She was radiant with confidence and power right now.
He couldn’t take his eyes off her.
“Ahhh-” Baron suddenly let out a furious roar in the ring.
He had been chasing Janet around the ring. Yet Janet skillfully dodged all his attacks.
She handled her opponent with a level of skill and finesse that even the most experienced fighters would
envy.
It pissed Baron to his bones.
He had forgotten what Daran said about going gentle on Janet.
His attacks were becoming very fierce!
“Stop running around, you rat!” Baron roared.
Catching up with Janet, he raised his large fist and threw a final, desperate punch!
If it got her, her skull would be crashed into pieces!
Daran suddenly shot up from his seat. His body tensed.
He was ready to jump up there and/save Janet from Baron’s punch.
Yet Janet deftly sidestepped, spinning around and landing a swift and powerful uppercut, straight to Baron’s massive jaw.
An audible gasp went up from the audience as Baron let out a painful cry.
He held his jaw, his towering body trembling.
After a few seconds, he fell to the ground, defeated.
“Wow–Bravo!!!”
Everyone rushed forward to the ring, clapping and cheering.
Some members from the BloodMoon Pack climbed up into the wrestling ring and picked up Janet.
Laughing loudly, they threw her up in the air.
There was a big smile on Janet’s face as well. She giggled and hugged everyone who came forward to congratulate her.
Daran remained frozen on his spot.
Gradually and shallowly, he finally let out a breath that he had been holding,
His heart rate finally came back to normal.
“Alpha Daran,” a voice suddenly came from his side.
Daran looked around and found Casper beaming at him.
Casper didn’t even leave his seat the whole time as though he had already known that Janet would win,
“Let me know if your Gamma needs medical assistance,” Casper smiled.
“Our pack doctor Steve is very professional….As you have known.”
