Chapter 24

Since Alpha had given his words, this drama was forced to come to an end.

Janet was curious as of why Daran helped her this time.

But there were too many people present. She didn’t want to confront him here.

So she went to get another two clean plates for Kass and herself and grabbed some foods from the table.

They found a quiet corner to sit down, away from all other people.

Kass still seemed angry about what happened earlier.

He leant close to her and whispered, “Gamma, you should go to the soldier’s dining hall to have breakfast next time. The food might not be as good, but you don’t have to dine with these hypocrites.”

Janet smiled and rubbed his hair, “Good idea. Thanks for inviting me.”

Kass beamed at her brightly.

Those bystanders had dispersed. And Daran had walked up to his seat at the top and sat down.

He didn’t spare Harper a single glance the entire time.

Harper was still kneeling on the ground with tears on her face. She was baffled and overwhelmed.

She couldn’t figure out why Daran suddenly became so harsh on her.

“Quick,” Hellen nudged at her and hissed. “Go to him. Now.”

Harper bit her lips reluctantly.

She didn’t want to face his wrath.

But she had to figure out his sudden change of attitude.

Struggling to pull herself up from the floor, Harper first to grab a plate of food: shrimp cocktail, smoked salmon, spring salad, and a glass of iced tea, all of which Daran’s favorite.

Then she carefully came to sit with Daran. And pushed the plate over to him.

“Alpha…”

Harper peeked at his reaction.

“I

get you some breakfast. Please have some.”

Daran averted his head and gave Harper a cold glare, causing her heart to jump up to her throat.

He didn’t say anything harsh.

But simply dragged the plate to himself and started eating. Harper quietly let out a long sigh of relief.

She knew Daran couldn’t be mad at her for too long.
