Chapter 2
Six months later.
A long line of fancy cars was standing outside of a grand hotel in BloodMoon Pack. People dressed in gowns
and tuxes got out of their cars and were welcomed into the hotel lobby by ushers.
It was the annual pack meeting.
Alphas from all over the world were gathered Blood Moon Pack.
On the top level of this hotel, Janet was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window gazing out.
She had fully recovered from her injuries half a year ago and was now looking stunning. Today she was dressed in a silver strapless dress revealing her defined cheekbones with a gorgeous diamond necklace on her neck.
Her beautiful face was no longer looking sallow due to the lack of nutrition and hard labor.
Now her cheeks were rosy, and her eyes were bright.
She seemed radiant in a very noble way.
The door to the suite opened up behind her.
Janet turned around and found it was her brother, Casper Manning, the Alpha of BloodMoon Pack.
âHowâs my little princess doing today?â
Casper walked over with a gentle smile and took Janet in his arms, planting a soft kiss on her forehead.
Janet smiled and hugged him back, âIâm doing great.â
âI really donât bother you with this stupid meeting,â Casper frowned disapprovingly. âThe doctor said you still needed to rest. You were wounded too severely.â
âBut Iâm fine.â
Janet patted Casperâs arm to ease him up, âI have a strong wolf and my Alpha bloodline shortened my recovery process. Nevertheless, Iâm an Alphaâs sister.â
A proud smile appeared on Casperâs face, âYes indeed. You are my tough little sister.â
6 months ago, Janet was rescued by BloodMoon Packâs patrol team.
When she was brought into the hospital, the doctor found a moon-shaped birthmark on her lower back, which was possessed by the long-lost sister of BloodMoon Packâs Alpha.
After a DNA test, it was confirmed that she was actually Janet Manning, instead of Janet Diaz.
A nurse gave her to the wrong family in the delivery room. The Manning family had been looking for her like crazy since.
If it hadnât been for that accident, Janet still wouldnât have been able to return to her real family.
The Mannings were thrilled to have her back. The entire BloodMoon Pack, from the Alpha Casper to all common citizens, adored her like a princess.
Janet now lived a very comfortable life with lots of love.
Her misery past in Riverside Pack was long behind her already.
âBut are you sure you want to attend the opening gala tonight?â Casper asked her, âThat scumbag Daran will be here.â
Janet seemed very calm, âYes why not? Iâm attending the meeting on behalf of our pack. Iâm not letting a stranger get in the way of business.â
The furrow between Casperâs brows deepened. He still seemed vexed.
âF*ckâ¦that jerk Daran!â Casper clenched his fists furiously. âHow dare he let you die in those roguesâ hands and reject you?! He was damn lucky to have you as his mate in the first place! I just want to rip his throat open when I see him later-â
âDonât dirty your hands with it. Itâs not worth it,â Janet smiled. âAnd what happened in the past is in the part already. If Daran dares to cross me again, Iâll make him pay myself.â
She was no longer that weak and pathetic little girl living under somebody elseâs roof.
She was now Alpha Casperâs dear sister.
She had an entire BloodMoon Pack behind her back as her support.
âOK. Just remember Iâll always be on your side, no matter what.â Casper pulled her into his arms fondly. âYes, I know.â Janet hugged him back.
âLetâs go. The opening gala is about to begin.
Casper took Janetâs hand in his arm, and they left the suite together.
Daran got out of his car and raised his head to look at this grand hotel in front of him.
The spectacular view of this hotel alone exuded power and wealth.
As the largest and most powerful pack, BloodMoon Pack was no doubt the reigning giant in the world. Riverside Park was developing very fast, but it still couldnât compare to BloodMoon Pack.
Daran really looked forward to meeting BloodMoon Packâs young Alpha.
âAlpha Daran, wait for me.â
Harper just got out of the car behind Daran. Her pretty face seemed a little pale after a long and exhausting trip.
Casting a glance at the grand hotel, Harper turned to Daran with a gentle smile, âThis is really a beautiful hotel. Do you think we can ask BloodMoon Packâs Alpha about it and get married here?â âWe have a grand hotel in our own pack too,â Daran said nonchalantly. âIt is just as nice.â Harperâs lips stretched into a larger smile as she gasped in joy, âSo youâve agreed to marry me soon?â âI said no such things.â Daran frowned impatiently. âThis is a packâs meeting. Weâre here for business. If you insisted on talking about this irrelevant stuff, maybe you should return home now.â
The smile froze on Harperâs face.
6 months ago, she finally removed her stupid sister from her Luna position.
Harper thought Daran would marry her soon after that.
But it had been half a year already and Daran still hadnât said yes to her.
And Harper knew that Daran had been secretly searching for Janetâs whereabouts. He still wanted to know if Janet was alive.
Thinking about that, Harper gritted her teeth furiously.
Daran had already rejected Janet! He didnât have any feelings for her sister. So why hadnât he agreed to her proposal yet?
And her damn sister Janetâ¦Why couldnât Janet leave them alone even after she died?!
She hoped Janet to rot in hell!
Taking in a deep breath to calm herself down, Harper quickly caught up with Daran and cried:
âWait Alphaâ¦Let me walk with you!â
She forcefully put his hand on his arm and entered the lobby with him.
An usher stepped up to welcome them with a professional smile, âWelcome to BloodMoon Pack. May I see your invitation?â
Daran pulled the invitation out and handed it to the usher.
Just then, the corner of his eyes caught a flash of a familiar figure around the cornerâ¦
Daran froze on his stop.
Was it herâ¦noâ¦it couldnâtâ¦but could it?
Daran suddenly abandoned the usher and Harper and rushed towards that familiar figure!
âAlpha! Where are you going!â Harper screamed.
âNo wait Sir!â the usher cried, âYou canât go in there!â
But Daran couldnât care for that much.
He rushed around the comer.
A slim figure was standing by a double door and was about to go in.
-Janet
Daran blurted out, clenching his fists.
The usher and Harper just arrived behind Daran too.
The slim figure paused by the door.
A few seconds later, she turned around slowly.
Jagerâs eyes traveled across those shocked faces until they finally settled on Daran.
Long time no see,â she said with a faint smile.
