Chapter 176

“…You want the new Rogue King to give you their blood. You still want to be the Werewolf King,” Janet said after a long pause.

Daran didn’t say anything.

But she could see ambition dancing in his dark eyes.

“So what you said was all craps, right?”

Janet couldn’t help but raise her voice:

“You said that you only want the kingship so that you could put a stop to this war. But now the war is ending, permanently, as long as we back the right Rogue King!” “But people will change. Even if a person is a pacificist now, it doesn’t mean that they won’t change into a complete war manic in the future!”

Janet knew perfectly well about how much a person could change.

Take Daran as an example.

Look how much he had changed.

Janet’s voice was strained, “But we will find a way to keep the rogues in check. The Lycans are here to help-”

“You want to rely on the Lycan’s help?! Do you want to submit yourself to another species? Wake the fuck up, Janet! They are even worse than Lance!”

Daran grabbed Janet’s wrist and hissed into her ears:

“Do you know where Lance knew about this ritual? From an ancient text that the Lycan had kept from us. Apparently, the Werewolf King is the only one who has the power to stand up to the Lycans. For the purpose of better controlling us, Westin and his men don’t want the Werewolf King to emerge. They want to fucking rule us like a bunch of slaves!”

Janet froze on her spot.

She wanted to tell Daran that this was not true.

Westin was simply here to lend a hand, to help with their crisis.

But then she recalled what Westin said to her before in her bedroom:

…There is always a war, between the werewolves and the rogues…But this one is different.

…If someone doesn’t put a stop to this turmoil, the–order of this world will be lost, permanently…

Westin didn’t care about the previous wars.

He simply cared about this one.

Because this time, Lance got hold of the way to overthrow Lycan’s reign.

And the “order” that he talked about had nothing to do with the balance between them and the rogues.

Westin was referring to the dynamic between the werewolf and the lycan. He didn’t want that dynamic to shift.

Daran picked up on the astonishment in Janet’s eyes.

He let out a cold laugh, “Shocked? Looks like your goody two shoes isn’t exactly a saint himself, right?”

“Stop! I am trying to think-

“Once he has total control over us, do you think he will still treat you this nicely?! The Lycans think of themselves as the superiors. He will never treat you equally! Wake up to this Janet-”

“But I still won’t help you to achieve your personal goal, Daran!” Janet cried.
