Chapter 29
Janet stared at him. Half of her face was still covered in steaming blood. Baron had to clench his fists to stop himself from shivering in front of her. “Kass asked for your help earlier,” Janet asked sharply. “Why didn’t you help us?”
Baron choked.
Then he stuttered in panic, “You took care of it without our help. Why do us anyway? Do you really want us to be shredded by bears as well?” “If you helped, Balvina and Kass might not be injured that badly!”

“But they are both your soldiers. You are the one responsible for their safety,” Baron snorted. “If you are so afraid of them getting hurt, maybe you shouldn’t suggest this competition in the first place.”
Janet glared at him with rage burning in her eyes.
Then she strode forward abruptly and landed a hot slap on Baron’s face!
The slap happened to be on the same side Casper punched earlier.
Baron’s face quickly swelled to twice its original size.
“You fucking whore-!!” Baron staggered back and roared, “How dare you! I’m a Gamma-”
“You are nothing but a piece of shit to me,” Janet said coldly.
She lifted a leg and kicked hard at Baron’s stomach area, sending him fly back a few inches and drop on the ground.
Then she came in upon him before he could stand up and punched on his ribs! “Ahhh-”
Baron screamed desperately while waving his hands in the air.
“You crazy bitch! Help! Alpha–help-”
Some soldiers from Blood Moon Pack wanted to come forward and help.
They stole a peek at Daran and found that their Alpha had been watching this scene
calmly without any intention to help Baron.
So these soldiers withdrew their feet again.
“Janet.”
Daran finally spoke up deeply a few moments later, “You have vented your anger. My Gamma had paid for his disrespect. It should be enough.”
“No.”
Janet threw another punch at Baron, and then another one.
“Kass broke three ribs in that fight earlier. I won’t stop until Baron paid that back!”
At this point, Baron had been knocked to half–death, blood covering all his face.
Someone from Riverside couldn’t watch this anymore and cried:
“Your soldier was hurt by the bears. What does our Gamma have anything to do with it!”
Janet snorted.
She staggered a few steps back and took one last kick at Baron.
Then she turned around, her eyes gleaming with rage.
And she said:
“Alpha Daran, I think your Gamma had given me the wrong map on purpose, leading us to this bear cave. This is a trap set by Baron with the intention to kill us all.”
Everyone widened their eyes in shock hearing this.
A mumbled voice came from the ground.
Baron struggled to sit up again and cried in a shivering voice, “…M–Me? You crazy bitch… What proof do you have?!”
“You’ve been circling around this area when the bear came out. This is a large forest. What brought you here? Clearly you are here to gloat!” Janet snapped.
“That is no proof-

“Then let us talk to the man who handed us the map!” Janet looked at Daran, “Ask him if he was acting on Baron’s orders!”
Hearing Janet mentioned that man, Baron gritted his teeth as a hint of panic flickered across his face. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
His eyes were swollen. But he was still glaring at Janet viciously through his drapey eyelids.
“I will.” Daran said deeply. “You can trust me on this.”
Janet let out a long breath.
She closed her eyes, looking exhausted, and her body swayed.
Then without any warning, she fell directly to the ground.
“Janet!”
Daran rushed to catch her.
She had passed out.
Her face pale, her breathing very shallow.
“Back to the pack!” Daran snapped carrying Janet in his arms.
He wouldn’t let anything happen to her again…No…

The group of them returned to Riverside Pack within half an hour.
Then the pack doctor was summoned to their rooms.
Soon, everyone had heard that the Blood Moon Pack’s Gamma and soldiers were injured during the competition by a group of crazy bears.
It seemed that this united training was off to a rocky start with such a horrible event happening on the first day.
Many people were worried.
Some people wanted to visit the injured Gamma Janet. But Alpha Daran declined all visitors.
In Janet’s suite.
A doctor had just finished with his examination.
He turned to Daran, who had been waiting anxiously by the bedside.
“How is she?” Daran asked.
“Gamma Janet was fine,” the doctor said. “She had a strong wolf and her wolf will cure most of her wounds for her. She’ll wake up in 2 days.”
Daran let out a sign of relief, “…Great. Will any of those wounds leave any marks on her?”
“Most of them won’t,” the doctor said. “But I noticed that she had quite a few frostbites on her feet. If she wanted those to fade as well, I can give her some prescriptions.”
Daran knew about those frostbites.
Janet must have got them 6 months ago during the kidnap.
“Do give her some,” Daran said. “She should have treated those wounds 6 months ago when she got those.”
He stared at those ugly marks on her feet in fume.
Janet was too careless about her appearance.
And what the hell was Casper doing all these times? He should urge Janet to treat her
wounds a long time ago if he really cared about her-
“6 months ago?” the doctor suddenly said, “No. She must have got these frostbites way earlier than that.”
“…What?” Daran winded his eyes.
“That’s right. She must have not shifted yet when she got it and that is why she couldn’t have her wolf treat these wounds for her.”
The doctor took another look at those frostbites and said:
“She must be a little girl when she froze her feet.”
