Chapter 204

Janet’s back became stiff.

Slowly, she turned around to face him.

You have been watching me the whole time?” she asked in a cold voice.

Westin gave her a crooked smile, “I didn’t want to stop you from your daily exercise.

You have slept for days. It is good to stretch out a bit.”

Janet suppressed the temptation to slap him, “Why did I circle back here? I ran straight ahead!”

“You thought you ran straight ahead. But the fog in these mountains had its own power. Outsiders are bound to get lost. Only Lycans know the way around it.”

Janet bit her lips in frustration.

Fuck.

No wonder Westin untied her.

Now she couldn’t escape even if she managed to find a moment alone.

“Speaking of which-”

Westin caught her chin, raised her head up, and stared into her eyes, “Do you know that Daran just became the Werewolf King?”

Janet was stunned, “What?”

“That is right. I just got a message back from my man, saying that he officially crowned himself earlier today. You see. He doesn’t really care about you that much. Once you are gone, he simply can’t wait to embrace his dear power.”

Janet’s heart rate quickened for a short moment.

But she quickly calmed herself down.

“You are wrong,” she said.

The cocky smile froze on Westin’s lips. ” How so?”

“Werewolf can’t track the Lycans. If Daran wants to find me, the only way is to become the Werewolf King first. He didn’t do it for the power. He did it for me.‘ Westin’s face gradually darkened.

“You have a lot of confidence in him,” he snorted.

“Of course because he is the man I love-”

Westin tightened his grip on Janet’s chin abruptly.

“Do not say that you love him in front of me!” he hissed.

Janet stared back at him defiantly, “Why? The mighty Lycan King can’t handle at little truth?”

Just then, footsteps came from their backs.

A group of Lycans emerged from the mist. Standing up front was Edwin.

“My King,” Edwin said. “The elders and Lady Agnes are expecting you at the castle’s front gate-”

“Not now!” Westin growled.

Edwin held his head down low.
