Chapter 23
Hellen stared at Janet and Kass. Her eyes gleamed with malice.
“Did someone offend Gamma Janet again?” She asked, “Please stop…We don’t want her to be angry
and behave aggressively again…”
Those who had heard Harper’s version of story form last night all glared at Janet in
rage.
As though Janet was the bully here.
To back her daughter, Hellen spoke up beside her, “And looks like you’ve forgotten all of the manners
I’ve taught you, Janet.”
She marched forward and looked at Janet condescendingly.
“You might be a Gamma now, but the Diaz’s blood still rans in your vein. You’ve mistreated your sister.
Now get on your knee and apologize to her. We’ll forgive your rudeness now.”
Kneel and apologize?
Janet’s eyebrow flew up high as though she had heard something really fanny.
Yet before she said anything, Kass suddenly burst into a loud roar, “There’s no way my Gamma is
going to apologize! It should be you people–you bunch of hypocrites! You should apologize to her!”
He was a 6 feet tall man with bulging muscles. His towering height and threatening fangs easily posed
a sense of threat on other people.
Hellen took a few quick steps back away from Kass, along with all other people in the dining hall.
Hellen clenched her clothes to hide her panic and snapped, “Who the hell is
this–this gigantic monster! And who allowed him into this dining room! This is ridiculous–kick him out!!”
A few security guards zoomed in on Kass. But they were still too scared to come too close.
Kass blocked Janet behind his back and arched his back. A threatening howl came between his
clenched teeth as though he was ready to lunge the next second!
Janet suddenly put a hand on Kass’s back.
“It’s OK Kass,” she said with a soft tone. “Don’t get yourself involved in this ugly mess. Back down
now.”
Kass snapped his head back to her. He rounded his eyes as a hint of nervousness flickered through it.
“Did I do something wrong?” he asked, “Don’t you want to make these people to shut up?”
Janet smiled as a warm sense of feeling rose up in her.
It felt so nice to be protected.
“You’ve done nothing wrong,” Janet stroked his curly hair. “But I got this. You can stand aside and
watch me kick their asses.‘
She nudged him to the side and come forward to face Hellen.
“I invited him here,” Janet said icily while looking down at Hellen. “NO ONE kicked him out without my
permission.”
Janet was smaller than Kass. But her aura was stronger.
Hellen couldn’t help but quivered in front of her.
“Who the hell is he then!” Hellen shrieked with a high–pitch voice, “Is he another lover of yours? Don’t
you have any shame, Janet? First Alpha Daran, then Alpha Casper, and this young pup… How many
men have fu cked you, you filthy puss-
SLAP!
Janet slapped her unmercifully, striking Hellen to the floor.
All bystanders gasped in shock. Harper let out a small scream and quickly covered her mouth.
Only Kass clapped excitedly and cheered, “Nice slap Gamma Janet!”
“Y–YOU!!”
Hellen jerked up covering her burning cheek and screamed on the top of her lung:
She braced her hands on the floor and wanted to pull herself up.
But Janet stepped on her hand.
“Now you want to talk about family value?”
Janet’s eyes gleamed with sarcasm.
“Then why didn’t you say anything when I was bullied by other kids? Why did you starve me and throw
me out to the snow ground during winter? Why used me as a maid and treated me with no respect?
And when rogues kidnapped me–why did you let me die?!”
Heard about her words, all other people exchanged perplexed looks with each other. Mr. and Mrs. Diaz
were well–known for their generosity and kindness in Riverside Pack.
But was this how they treated their own daughter?
Hellen tried to pull her hands out but failed. Her round face twitched in pain. “I—I raised you!” she
stuttered, “I owned you! It’s the least you could do for you own family-”
Janet sneered coldly, “I’ve paid back everything when you handed me to rogues. I don’t owe you a
damn thing now, Mrs. Diaz. If you and Harper dare to cross me again-”
She suddenly added pressure on Hellen’s hand.
“-I’ll not hesitate to kill you!”
“Ahhh-!”
Hellen screamed in pain with cold sweats streaming down her forehead.
Harper suddenly dropped down on her knees. She crawled forward and grabbed Janet’s legs begging:
“Please sister…we all know you are strong and powerful now…please don’t torture my poor mother like
this. This isn’t the kind you I used to know-”
“Kind?”
Janet snorted.
“I was probably too kind in the past. Now, I’m cold and rude and merciless. So you better stay away
from me.
me.”
She withdrew her leg and looked down at Hellen’s twitching body.
“If you still want breakfast, sit in the corner and eat with a closed mouth.” Janet said. aloofly, “If I hear
anyone talking nonsense again…you know what’ll happen.”
Hellen breathed heavily holding her hands, with Harper sobbing beside her.
Just then, somebody suddenly shouted:
“Alpha!”
Everybody turned around following that sound.
There was a tall man standing by the front door, his handsome face very sulkily. Alpha Daran!
He had probably got here a long time ago and seen everything.
Janet gazed at him with freezing eyes.
What would he do this time?
He clearly saw her giving Hellen and his beloved Harper a hard time.
Would he be furious? Would he throw her out from Riverside?
Janet slightly lifted her mouth into a faint, ironic smile.
Daran walked pass the crowd and stared down at Hellen and Harper.
“What happened?” he asked deeply.
Harper suddenly burst into tears, wailing sadly on the floor.
She didn’t have to say anything. Because many people in the crowd had voiced out for her:
“…Miss Harper said Janet threw her out from her room last night…”
“Lady Hellen asked her to apologize, and Janet slapped her…”
“…She even stomped down on Lady Hellen’s hand…”
Daran raised a hand and killed all noises.
He slowly looked around and eventually settled his eyes on Janet.
“Let me make clear about one thing-
Daran spoke up with a deep voice, yet loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
There’s a short silence.
Then the entire crowd burst into mutterings!
Harper threw her head up in disbelief and yelled, “Alpha! What the hell—”
“You heard me.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Daran looked down at her. His smoky grey eyes gleamed coldly.
“Do you want to be the first to challenge me?” he asked.
Harper choked.
She dropped to the floor, still staring at him in shock.
Among all those people, Janet was the most astonished one.
She fixed her eyes on Daran with slightly widened eyes, her heart thumping wildly.
…Daran was taking her side this time?
How is this possible?!
