Chapter 13
Eventually there were 6 people who went on this trip.
Janet, Balvina, Casper, Jared, Daran and Harper, who showed up at the last minute and insisted to stay
close to Daran.
Balvina was furious about those last two who invited themselves.
She wanted to kick them out, but Janet tugged at her sleeve gesturing her not to say anything.
“Why are you stopping me? We should totally ask them to f**k themselves!” Balvina hissed with a low voice while throwing daggers at Daran and Harper.
“Be cool, Balvina,” Janet smiled lightly and strengthened her backpack. “Alpha Daran was right. The Great Waterfall is opened to the public. I can’t stop them from going there. They just happen to share a path with us.”
Balvina let out a frustrated sigh, “God Janet…you are too nice sometimes.”
“I’m not nice. I just didn’t care,” Janet shrugged.
She looked over her shoulder to Daran and Harper at the end of their team.
Harper was the only one not dressed in sportswear today.
She was wearing a white dress and scandal. It fit her well but seemed hardly appropriate for a hiking trip. This was very typical Harper.

Harper was the only one not dressed in sportswear today.
She was wearing a white dress and scandal. It fit her well but seemed hardly appropriate for a hiking trip.
This was very typical Harper.
When they were still child in Riverside Pack, Harper would often wear inappropriate shoes or clothes to hunting trips.
Then when her feet started to hurt, she would force Janet to exchange shoes with her.
Janet couldn’t say no because Harper was everyone’s little princess and nobody would want Harper to get hurt.
In the end, Janet had to limp her way back home in those ill–fitting shoes, which often caused her feet to bleed for 2-3 days.
Thinking about those pasts, Janet let out a snort internally and withdrew her eyes.
She definitely wouldn’t exchange shoes with Harper now.
She couldn’t wait to see what Harper would do this time.
The group of them set off from the hotel and took a classic hiking route into the mountain.
30 minutes later, the breathtaking landscape of rolling mountains and dense woods gradually unfolded in front of them.
It happened to be summertime right now.
The mountains were alive with activity as wildlife buzzed and rustled amidst the leafy canopy.
The majestic trees, cloaked in verdant foliage, offered a cool refuge from the scorching sun.
Janet was walking by Jared’s side the whole time, serving as his tour guide.
Now she pointed into the distance and said, “From here you can get a peek of the Great Waterfall already. Here is also a great spot to observe rainbow if the weather permits.” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Jared took in a deep breath and smiled, “Right I can already smell water. It’s so beautiful out here. There’s nothing much to see in my pack besides desert and oasis. Is there a way to stay in your pack forever?”
Janet let out a small giggle, “You’ll have to renounce your position as Alpha first. It’s a large sacrifice.”
“Or…”
Casper chimed in and playfully winked at them, “You can mate with someone in BloodMoon Pack and therefore become a permanent member.”
Jared grinned, his light blue eyes twinkling with joy.

“It sounded like a great plan,” he laughed.
A few steps back, Harper was glaring at the three of them in burning jealousy.
Those idiotic men!
Why were they all chasing behind Janet?
Couldn’t they see that Janet was old and dumb and wasn’t that pretty to look at?
Harper couldn’t accept it.
Back in Riverside Pack, she was the center of attention, not Janet! Young men would line up in front of her and no one would spare a glance at her stupid sister.
How could Janet get their attention so easily now?
And they were all Alphas!
Gritting her teeth, Harper quickened her pace and caught up with them.
“Janet, I’m surprised you know so much about BloodMoon Pack!” Harper let out a fake giggle, “I thought you just came here not long ago.”
Janet frowned.
Jared seemed surprised to hear that, “Really? Janet, I thought you grew up in here. Was I wrong?”
“I didn’t. I spent my childhood in another pack,” Janet replied coolly and gave Harper a warning look. Yet Harper was still babbling, “Right. Didn’t you get rejected somewhere else before you came back here?”
A deadly silence fell upon them.
Harper covered her mouth with her hand and giggled, “Be careful with these rejected women Alpha Jared. From where I came from, we call them…damaged goods.”
Daran suddenly jerked his head up.
He glared at Harper in disbelief as though he couldn’t believe such words just came from her mouth.
Balvina and Casper both seemed furious.
Balvina had already raised her hands and was ready to slap Harper the next second-
“You were really rejected before?” Jared suddenly asked.
Janet paused and nodded, “…Yes.”
She didn’t want to hide this from Jared.
“Rejected, kidnapped, and then you became the Gamma?” Jared said in awe, “You are a fabulous woman Janet! If anything, it only makes me like you more.”
He stared at Janet with smiley eyes and said, “As for the idiot who dared to reject you, I think he could go f**k himself for the rest of his life.”
Janet couldn’t help but laugh with him.
Harper’s face was twisted in rage right now.
She had expected Jared to grow sick of her Janet.
But why didn’t things go as she planned!
She was about to say something else when a large hand grabbed her shoulder.
Jerking around, Harper found Daran looking down at her with cold eyes.
“Stop saying things about me and Janet anymore,” his voice was low and intimidating. “Or I’m sending you home, right now!”
Without waiting for Harper to answer, Daran abandoned her and walked forward.
Harper stared at his back in grievance.
She could sense Daran’s impatience already…This couldn’t be happening…She must find a way to salvage it…
“Ahh!”
The rest of the group turned around and found Harper collapsed on the ground.
She was rubbing her ankle in tear.
“What now?” Balvina snapped. She was so sick of this clown!
“I…I slipped…” Harper sobbed with tears in her
eyes.
“Who can you blame?” Balvina rolled her eyes. “You are wearing scandals. You are lucky you didn’t break your neck.”
“Yes…It’s all my fault…I’m sorry for being such a huge burden…”
Harper cried desperately.
She wiped her tears and stole a peek at Janet.
“I–I was wondering if Gamma Janet is willing to exchange shoes with me?” she asked with a pity voice. “We are about the same size… You are a strong Gamma. Surely you don’t need shoes to travel between mountains…”
Janet folded her arms with a half–smile on her face.
“So you blame your scandals?” Janet asked.
Harper quickly nodded, “Yes I-
Janet strode over and ripped Harper’s scandals off her feet.
Raising her arm, Janet threw those scandals directly off the cliff.
“NO–!!!”
Harper screamed sharply and crawled to the edge of the cliff.
But her scandal was gone already.
“Are you crazy?!” Harper shrieked in anger.
“You blamed your scandals. I was simply helping you to get rid of your problem.”
Janet’s mouth stretched into a large smile.
“Up on your feet and walk now,” Janet said briskly. “You are a werewolf. Surely walking with bare feet isn’t an issue for you.”
