Chapter 80

A large tent was set up in the middle of Central Plaza.

Some soldiers were gathered outside of the tent.

They all turned to look at Janet with an awed look when she came close. One of them rushed to lift the curtain for her.

“Gamma Janet, that was a great fight!” the soldier said to her enthusiastically.

“Thank you,” Janet replied with a smile.

“Alpha Daran is expecting you inside.”

Janet stepped into the tent.

Daran was standing in the middle of the room, using a towel to clean the blood stain on his body.

He turned around abruptly when Janet walked in.

Their eyes locked for a long moment.

Daran abandoned the towel and strode forward. He seized Janet’s shoulder and pulled her into his arms forcefully.

Janet was taken aback.

She could hear his quickened heartbeat and heavy breathing. His hands were also slightly shaking on her back.

“What is the matter?” Janet broke the silence and asked.

Daran shook his head and buried her face into her hair, taking in a deep inhale of her

scent.

“I was afraid of losing you,” he said deeply.

“Are you serious?” Janet said under her breath, “I am standing right here. Safe and sound. What made you think that?“,

“This is the first time that I saw you on the battlefield. I know that you have a strong wolf and everything. But when that rogue came at you…My heart almost stopped beating. I couldn’t help but wonder…what would happen to you if I was a minute late…”

He tightened his arms around her, hugging her more tightly.

Janet could hardly breathe in his arms.

Yet her heart swelled.

This was the first time Darán revealed his true feelings to her,

He used to be so cold, so closed–up, and it was impossible for her to figure out what he was thinking through his expressionless face.

But now, he opened up to her voluntarily.

He said that he was afraid.

Janet once thought that a brave man like Daran was not afraid of anything.

But he was afraid of losing her.

“Hey.”

Janet stroked his back gently.

“You got there on time. And I am fine. There is nothing to worry about.”
