Chapter 15
âNo-! Donât come any closer to me! Iâm warning you!!â
Harper snapped in panic while backing away from Balvina. Balvina snickered, âOr what? Are you going to kill me?â
âIâm Riverside Packâs princess!â Harper snapped, her voice high and shrill. âAnd I have 3 big brothers in my family! Donât you dare lay a finger on me-â
Balvina suddenly burst into loud laughter. She laughed so hard that she had to bend down and cover her belly.
âPrincess my ass! Your parents are both citizens. You think I donât know that?â Balvina jabbed at Harperâs chest and snapped, âYou arenât even suitable to be an Alphaâs maid!â Harperâs face twisted in rage, âAlpha Daran and his family all adore me-â
Balvina cracked a laugh, âBut this is BloodMoon Pack. Nobody gives a shit about you here.â Balvinaâs gaze was fierce, which made Harper quiver in fear.
And she was left with nowhere to escapeâher back heel was touching the edge of the cliff already.
Harper didnât dare to face Balvina directly. So she instead turned to Casper and cried out with a pitiful voice:
âAlpha Casper help! Please talk some sense into this lady here! You must have heard about my body conditionâ¦I canât diveâ¦â
â
Harper had used this trick many times to be weak and pathetic in front of men.
It always got what she wanted.
A
Yet this time, Alpha Casper only crossed his arms and stared at her with a raised eyebrow. He seemed amused as though he was looking at a clown.
âHow would I know? I donât f**king know you,â Casper said idly. âPlease stop talking to me. Your voice disgusts me.â
Harper widened her eyes in disbelief..
This was unbelievableâ¦he didnât even seem sympathetic towards herâ¦how could BloodMoon Packâs men be this cruel?!
A hand suddenly seized Harperâs collar.
Balvina came close to Harperâs face and hissed in fury:
âDo you like to seduce other peopleâs men so much? No one had taught you a lesson before, huh?â
Harper grabbed Balvinaâs wrist, her heart jumping up to her throat, âNoâ1, I didnât-â
âThen hereâs a lesson for you!â
Balvina suddenly shoved against Harperâs shoulder!
With a sharp cry, Harperâfell directly off the cliff.
***
Under the cliff.
Janet had swum up to the surface, breathing heavily.
Diving was fun. It made her forget all of her troubles,
But she had never been a big fun of water.
When they were little, Harper always forced Harper to take all the swimming and diving lessons for her. Janet had become a little hydrophobia since then.
A splashing sound came from behind her back.
Then a large hand was placed on her shoulder, helping her to regain balance in the water.
âAre you OK?â Daranâs husky voice rang besides her cars.
Janet shivered as a chill was sent down her spine.
âIâm fine. Thank you, Alpha Daran,â Janet avoided his hand and replied with a clam voice.
She turned to face Daran.
He was floating on water, his smoky grey eyes on her. Water drops drippled down his handsome portrait, glittering in the sunshine like diamonds.
He seemed dazzling handsome in the golden afternoon hue, like a god or fairy.
No wonder so many girls in Riverside Pack had gone crazy for him.
âIâm sorry,â Daran suddenly said.
Janet stared at him calmly, âFor what?â
Did he want to apologize for rejecting her 6 months ago?
Or for standing by and letting rogues kill her?
âFor Harper,â Daran said deeply. âShe behaved badly since she arrived. I hope you can cut her a slack. She was still a little girlâ¦and your sister.â
Janetâs heart sank completely.
She was so naïve to think that he was about to apologize for something about her.
As it turned out that all he ever cared about was Harper.
âYou are wrong,â Janet said to him coldly. âHarper isnât my sister.â
It probably hurt less since they werenât related at all.
Daran frowned, âDonât be ridiculous. I know youâre still holding a grudge towards her. But thereâs no need to say something so cruel.â
Janet was done talking to him.
Jared had swum to the shore already and was waving at them, âJanet! Come up! Do you need a hand?â
Janet smiled and raised her voice answering, âComing!â
She was about to swim away. But Daran grabbed her shoulder.
âAre you going to leave with him again?â his voice sounded irritated, âWeâre not finished here!â
Janet struggled harshly trying to break free from him.
She was about to snap at him when a loud splashing sound came from nearby.
