Chapter 71

The group of rogues ran for their lives, including the Scar. One of them still tried to take Janet with them but he got shouted at by another:

“What the f*ck are you doing! Just f**king leave her-”

He didn’t get to finish. The next second a giant black wolf leaped out from the darkness and bit down on the rogue’s neck! Its sharp fangs pierced deep into the rogue’s flesh, ending his life before he could even make a sound.

The other rogue screamed at the top of his lungs. He was so scared that he couldn’t even move an inch. The giant wolf turned swiftly, charged forward, and crashed with the rogue, sending the rogue flying backward like a kite. His body hit against a tree and dropped dead.

The giant wolf bellowed deeply and shifted back to human. He rushed by Janet’s side and held her wounded leg, “Christ…You are hurt!”

“Forget about me!” Janet grabbed his hand and said urgently, “You have to go after them! The Scar and the others

“Maxie is on it. Don’t worry,” Daran pulled off his shirt and used it as a bandage to wrap up Janet’s bleeding leg. “The others can’t get away…But I am not so sure about Sterning.”

“Sterning? Is that the one with the scar?”

“Yeah. He is the Rogue King’s most trusted man.”

Daran spooned Janet off the ground and started to head back to Fox Town, “We crossed paths a few times before. He is slippery like a snake.”

Janet buried her face to Daran’s neck. She could smell his enticing scent, which was now mixed with a rusty smell of blood.

“…Sorry,” she said with a muffled voice after a long while.

“Don’t apologize,” Daran said.

“You don’t even know what I am apologizing for yet.”

“Whatever it is. I don’t need you to apologize for anything,” Daran said deeply. “You have done a brilliant job already. And you don’t need to be so strong and perfect at everything all the time. I am here to help you.”

Janet’s heart swelled.

Only Daran could give her a sense of security like no one else could.

“You could shift and carry me on your back,” Janet suggested. “It’s easier and faster that way.”

“No. I don’t want you to bump around on my back as I run. Now is fine.”
