Chapter 62

Janet had to breath deeply to calm herself down.

“You are doing it again,” she said and tilted her head away. There was a hint of accusation in her voice.

“Doing what?”

“Treating me like an innocent little girl and trying to fool me with sweet talks.” Janet struggled out of his arms and said, “You taking a bullet for me…That’s total crap.”

“Why?” Daran stepped aside and blocked her way of leaving, “You don’t think I can do it?”

“Well yeah. You are the Alpha…and it makes no sense for you to put your own safety at risk to protect me, another pack’s Gamma-”

“Who says an Alpha can’t protect his loved one?” Daran asked.

Words froze on Janet’s lips.

She was stunned. Shocked by Daran’s “loved one.”

…What did he mean by that?

Was he saying that she–Janet–was his loved one?!

“You are being ridiculous again.” Janet gulped in panic. Her cheek was going red. She was glad that it was so dark right now that Daran couldn’t see it.

“Janet-”

Daran seemed that he had something else to say. But before he said anything, Janet turned around abruptly and dashed away.

She ran all the way back to her car, jumped in and started the engine. As the car fast–forwarded down the countryside road, she finally let out that breathe she had been holding for a long time.

Her heart was thumping like crazy. She had to clench her grip tightly on the wheel to

focus on the driving.

She hated to have her feelings and emotions being manipulated by Daran, which reminded her of her past, when she was crazily in love with Daran and would overthink the meaning of the smallest stuff he did.
