Chapter 202
Janet made a muffled cr
Her mouth was still taped.
She couldn’t speak.
The smile on Westin’s lips deepened as he said, “Oh my apologies. You can’t talk without that duct tape on your mouth. But if I take that off, can you promise me to be a good girl and stay quiet?”
It sounded like he was talking to his lap dog!
Janet glared at him in silence. If one’s gaze could kill, Westin would have died a million times.
Westin smiled. “I know that you are angry. But screaming is just a waste of energy Let me remind you that we are in the middle of nowhere. Nobody will come to your rescue even if you cry out loud. So how about we keep things civil and have a nice conversation like the grownups? Deal?”
Janet wanted to rip off that smug face of his and tear it into a thousand pieces.
But she was in his hands now.
Struggling did her no good.
She had to deal with this delicately.
After a short pause, she gave him a small nod.
“Excellent,” Westin beamed.
He ripped that duct tape off her mouth.
Once her mouth was free, Janet immediately sucked in a deep breath, hungry for the fresh air.
“Why are you doing this?” she demanded at once.
Westin chuckled lightly, “Because I love you, Janet, and you are going to leave me for another man. Jealousy makes people do crazy things.”
“LIE!” Janet hissed, “You have no feelings for me! So stop insulting me with what you call ‘love‘ and give me the truth!”
The smile on his lips faded a little.
“I do have some feelings for you, Janet. You can’t deny that,” he said flatly.
Janet gave him a look of deep disgust, “You are such a shameless liar. Just cut the crap, will you?”
Those words seemed to bite physically into Westin.
He took in a deep breath.
That charismatic smile on his face was completely gone now.
“Fine.”
He said darkly, crossing his arms, “I need a werewolf as Queen.”
Janet rounded her eyes.
That was his big reason?
He needed a werewolf wife, so he abducted her?!
WHAT THE FUCK!
“There are many she–wolves who are crazy about you. Like those maids in the Grace Ruin, even some girls in Blood Moon Pack! You can very well find a woman who is willing. Why the hell does it have to be me!” she cried angrily.
Westin clicked his tongue impatiently:
“Those lowborn women are good to have some casual fun with. They don’t deserve to be my queen.”
Janet’s body trembled in rage, “So I deserve to have you? Oh my! How lucky am I!”
Westin pretended that he didn’t sense Janet’s sarcastic tone and replies in an
“Inst a she wolt with a noble identity. You happen to have that. Plus you are my mate Everything works out perfectly
Except that he didn’t take her will into consideration!
What an egoistic prick!
“Why do you need a werewolf as Queen? I thought you found the werewolves beneath you,” she asked gruntly.
“That is none of your business,” he said, orthand.
Did he even listen to himself while he talke
“Then don’t expect me to play along!” she huttest, “I will right you tooth and nail! i will smash the fucking crown you place on my head and stomp on it so hard that
He caught her throat forcefully with one hand.
“Why did you choose Daran over me, lanet? Things would have been so much easier it you had made the right choice,” he said in a bleak voice.
She struggled, fiercely.
But couldn’t break free from his mon grip
“I am a much better partner than Daran. You know that,” he said while tightening his grip around her throat. “I know how to please a woman, how to make her laugh, how to satisty her need. You could have it all, Janet. Why do you have to push me away?”
Janet couldn’t breathe.
Her body began to twitch in suffocation.
Westin leaned in and whispered into her ears, “There are 3 to 4 days ahead before we arrive at the Lycan’s land…I think it is better it you stay asleep.”
He squeezed his hand.
Janet’s eyes rolled to the back.
She passed out again..
The Blood Moon Pack had lapsed into complete chaos since Princess Janet went missing.
All the soldiers were sent out to look for her.
Thes south, camera captured Westin’s car leaving the packhouse and heading
Daran and Casper brought an army with them and went down south following that lead.
But they lost track of Westin again near the pack’s border.
The car that Westin took out of the packhouse was abandoned by the roadside.
They searched the car, but it was clean. There wasn’t a shred of evidence that could lead the investigation for them.
Casper had the soldiers searched the border, inch by inch, exhausting all their resources, and turning the soil upside down.
He refused to leave until he found his sister. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
But still, there were no signs of Westin and Janet whatsoever.
It almost seemed that they vanished in thin air.
On the third day, everyone was forced to face the harsh reality-
Janet was gone.
“FUCK!”
Casper cursed loudly and stubbed the cigarette butt on the front of his car with all his might.
The search team had just reported back to him: Today’s search was in vain, again. He and Daran were standing on the borderline, gazing into the distance. The sun was selling into the horizon, casting a bleak light onto the wilderness.
Another day was gone.
Chances of finding Janet became slimmer and slimmer with the past of time.
“It is all my fault.”
Casper said, raking his fingers through his hair, frustrated:
“I should never let the Lycans step into our pack! I should ask Janet to stay away from that bastard on day one-
“No. It is not your fault. I am the one to blame,” Daran said darkly. “I should have killed Westin long before and eliminated all risks. But I didn’t…I couldn’t.”
He didn’t have what it took to kill a Lycan.
…And that was what he blamed himself the most.
Casper took a quick glance at Daran.
The two of them didn’t have any shut eyes in days, but Daran was in worse shape.
His eyes were bloodshot. There were dark circles under his eyes.
Even under great stress, he was still very handsome with no doubt. But it seemed as though part of his soul was missing.
There was a haunted look in his eyes, a mixture of fear, frustration, and desperate determination.
“You should get some sleep,” Casper couldn’t help but say. “You can’t keep up like this. It will crush you.”
Daran said without hesitation, “I will sleep when I find Janet.”
Casper understood his worry.
But how long was that going to be?
If they were being realistic, it could be days, months, or even years before they found Janet..
Daran would definitely crush at some point.
Casper wanted to talk some sense into Daran. But before he said anything, a series of footsteps came from the near distance.
He turned around and found Balvina running towards them, with Morgana and Kass behind her back.
“Casper! Daran!” she cried in a hurried voice.
“What are you doing here!” Casper rushed to her, “I told you to stay and rest in the packhouse. You are pregnant-
Balvina grabbed his hand, breathing very fast, “Forget that! Morgana just told me that there was a way to find Janet!”
Daran jerked around abruptly, and his bloodshot eyes widened.
“What did you say?!” he snapped.
Morgana nodded hastily, “It just occurred to me…Daran, you are the only one who can take us to Janet!”
Casper blinked in a daze, “What are you talking about? Daran doesn’t know where they are either-”
“He doesn’t, for now, because it is impossible for us werewolves to track the Lycans.”
Morgana stared at Daran.
“Which is why I think it is time for you to become the Werewolf King, Daran.”
