Chapter 98
Harper clamped her mouth shut to stifle a scream.
Veronica’s dead body was lying on the ground, right in front of her eyes. Blood was pooling. Harper stepped back urgently to avoid her shoes being tainted.
And she was shaking violently in fear. It took her almost a minute to utter, “Y-You killed her…”
“Yeah so?”
Lance shrugged. He took a towel that Layla just handed him and wiped Veronica’s blood on it.
Neither of them seemed to find this a big deal. They reacted as though Lance just killed a fly and not a human being.
Lance turned around to look at Harper and smiled, “Don’t tell me that this is the first time that you ever see a dead body.”
“I…I saw dead bodies on the battlefield before… But never this close…” Harper stuttered.
“Well then, you must be one lucky little princess.” Lance chuckled, “But if you want to be
my mate, as the Rogue Queen, you have to get used to this kind of thing fast.”
The Rogue Queen.
Harper was dazzled by that title.
She was going to be Queen one day…And how awesome was that!
Her fear at heart was quickly replaced by excitement and thrill.
“You are right. I over-reacted.” Harper took a deep breath and said, “Sorry. It won’t happen again.”
“There is my girl.”
Lance applauded her with a smile.
“You handled this very neatly. So, is there anything else that you want to tell me?”
“Yeah, there is one more thing.” Harper said, “Today I overheard Janet asking Angelina about the Great Canyon and if they can access it without the rogues. noticing. So do you think they will-”
“-try to sneak in there? Yes, they definitely will. Daran is desperate to find out more about me. Sneaking into my kingdom is the exact thing he will do.’
Lance paced back and forth in the room with his eyes blazing with crazy enthusiasm. “And this is great…you know? Having them there in my territory…It works out perfectly. Isn’t this great, Layla?”

Layla bowed humbly, “It is great, my King.”
Harper didn’t understand why they were both so excited. From her perspective, the alliance was already at the front door of Lance’s headquarters. It would only be days before the alliance took down the Grace Ruin.
So Lance should be anxious right now, not happy.
“I don’t understand. Why is this great again? You already lost the Crimson Fortress to Daran. If he attacked the Great Canyon-”
“No. He won’t attack the Great Canyon.”
Lance shook his head with a mysterious smile.
“The alliance has just been through a brutal war. Daran is too nice an Alpha to force his soldiers to go to another war soon. The thing that he most likely will do is to sneak into the Great Canyon himself with Janet and try to dig out more dirt about me.”
Lance spread his arms and laughed, “We can’t compete with Daran on the battlefield. But we can-and WE WILL-overpower him in my territory.”
Harper nodded hastily.
Now she was excited as well.
She couldn’t wait for the day when Daran was overpowered when he was brought down onto his knees and begged for her and Lance’s mercy.
A chill of excitement was sent through her whole body just picturing that.
“So what now? We will just wait for them to go to the Great Canyon?” Harper asked eagerly. “And what about Veronica’s body? We have to bury it.”
“We never wait for anything. We MAKE that happen,” Lance smiled.
Harper wanted to ask more.
Yet Lance waved his hands at her dismissively.
“You should go. You are gone for too long already. Let me worry about Veronica’s body.”
“But-”
“GO.”
Lances strengthened, in a final sort of way.
“Make yourself seen. You will need an alibi for what happens next.”
Janet and Angelina spent the entire day in the shelter checking on those injured soldiers and civilians.
When it was almost dusk, Harper came over to the shelter to help them out.
“Where is Veronica?” Janet asked when she saw Harper come by herself.
“She was still in the office doing the bookkeeping work,” Harper replied with a sweet smile. “She is a bit slow with the math. So she asked me to give her some time alone. to finish the rest of the work.”
“Has she been helpful? Do you like having her around?” Angelina asked.
“Oh yes. Very helpful. And I like her a lot!” Harper nodded. “She told me how hard it was to live with the rogues. Poor girl, she has been through a lot. I am really glad that she is starting a new life right now.”
Janet and Angelina exchanged a look of delight.
Both of them were pleased to see Harper make new friends.
“That is wonderful,” Janet softened her tone and said to Harper. “Veronica was on the wrong path, and she made some mistakes. But she corrected it in time, just like you. I am happy to see you two connect to each other.”
“A new life, a new chapter, for the both of you,” Angelina added.
Harper smiled sheepishly.
“Thank you so much for your nice words,” she said. “In fact, I have a little suggestion. Why don’t we throw a party and celebrate everything? We did just win a battle. And everyone is recovering. I think we deserve a night to have some fun.”
“It is actually not a bad idea,” Janet pondered. “We were so caught up in everything that we never really had time to celebrate our triumph.”
Angelina agreed, “And Alpha Daran will be back soon. He can join the party later on.”
“Great. It is settled then. Let’s have the party in the City Hall. I think they have a large enough banquet hall to fit all of us. I will let everyone know. Angelina, can you and Harper prepare the food?”
“Sure thing!”
Janet went outside to call everyone about the party. Harper followed her and said, “Janet, congratulations.”
Janet was bemused, “What for?”
