Chapter 12
There was a ringing silence in the room.
At this point, everyone had sensed the tension between BloodMoon Pack and Riverside Pack
Casper’s face darkened significantly. He glared at Baron as though he was going to jump up and
ripped. Baron’s throat open the next second.
Yet Janet remained calm.
She slightly leant forward and braced his hands on the table, staring at Baron, “You want me to explain
why I’m choosing your pack as the training site?”
Baron puffed his chest, “Yeah. I think I deserve to know.”
“You?” Janet let out an icy chuckle, “Who the f**k are you? Since when does Riverside Pack let its
Gamma make all the decisions?”
“You-!”
Baron’s face turned purple. He was about to burst into roars when Daran’s Beta Justin tugged at his
sleeve.
Baron turned around and found Daran staring at him coldly.
Daran’s sharp gaze rendered him afraid.
Shivering slightly, Baron lowered his head and sat back without a word.
“What do you say, Alpha Daran?” Eden pursued.
Daran focused his gaze on Janet and nodded, “We’d be happy to host it.”
“Fantastic! It settles then.”
Casper clapped his hands together and stood up laughing:
“We’ll bring our soldiers into Riverside Pack half a month later. In the meantime, please feel free to
explore BloodMoon Pack!”
The meeting was dismissed, and everybody filed out together.
Daran was dragged behind by Casper negotiating some details about the training.
When they finally moved out of the meeting room, they found Janet talking to Alpha Jared from Silver
Claw Pack in the hallway.
“This is my first time in the BloodMoon Pack,” Jared said briskly to her. “I must say you’ve got quite a
scenery here.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Indeed,” Janet nodded while smiling politely. “Many tourists pour into our pack during the summer. We
are well–known for our lakes and waterfalls.”
Jared was encouraged by Janet’s friendly attitude and moved even closer to her.
He flashed his baby–blue eyes and asked with his s*xy voice, “You seem to be very familiar of
BloodMoon Pack. Are you from here originally?”
“Yes.”
“So Casper and Daran…Are you dating one of them? Or both?”

Janet let out a small chuckle, “I don’t know where the rumor comes from. But I’m single.”
The corner of Jared’s lips lifted into a charming smile as he said;
“Fabulous.”
“Well, well, well…‘
Casper crossed his arm. Imed to Daran, who had a dark look on his face right now.
“Seems like Janet’s admirers are lining up right now. But it’s only natural. Who can resist her charm?”
Casper shrugged playfully.
Daran clenched his fists.
in time to catch Jared’s
He suddenly strode forward and walked towards the talking couple. He was just in time to catch Jared’s
invitation when he came close:
“…So nobody would mind if I take you to one of those waterfalls? I’d like to have a local to show me
around-”
Janet smiled and was about to say something when Daran came abruptly between them.
“You shouldn’t ask her.”
Daran kept Janet behind his back and faced Jared with a cold look.
“There are tour brochures everywhere,” Daran said with a freezing tone. “I can ask my man to bring
you a copy if you are too stupid to find one yourself.”
Jaret snorted.
“Daran Albright, sharp and mean as ever.” Jaret tilted his head to the side and looked at Janet. “Thank
you for your advice but I’m asking Gamma Janet here. Who are you to interrupt us?”
“I-”
“It’s fine. Alpha Jared, I’m happy to do it.” Janet walked out from Daran’s back and smiled, “The
weather should be nice tomorrow. Shall we hike to the Great Waterfall tomorrow morning at 7?”
“Great!” Jared laughed.
Daran’s face was twisting in rage.
He suddenly grabbed Janet’s shoulder and spined her around to face him and blurted out angrily:
“Are you out of your mind?! This guy is a f**king playboy! He specializes in playing with women! Do you
want to get rejected, AGAIN?”
His roar echoed in the hallway.
Janet’s face gradually turned dark.
Jared looked between the two of them and suddenly burst into laughter, “Don’t be ridiculous Daran!
Who is stupid enough to reject Janet?”
Then he gently rescued Janet’s wrist from Daran’s grip.
“Keep your hand to yourself,” he said to Daran half–threatening and half–joking. “We all know you are a
strong Alpha. There’s no need to demonstrate your strength on a lady.”
Janet rubbed her wrist and nodded at Jared with a smile, “Thank you. So tomorrow at 7?”
Jared blinked, “It’s a date.”
“Awesome!” Casper squeezed himself between the two of them and laughed, “Count me in! I can’t miss
a trip to the Great Waterfall!”
The three of them walked away together, talking excitedly about plans for tomorrow.
Daran remained on his spot.
There was a dark, gloomy look on his face as he stared at their back…
The next morning.
Janet got up early and refreshed herself.
She put her hair into a high ponytail and got dressed in a sport bra and leggings.
When she moved downstairs, her best friend Balvina had been waiting for her at the hotel lobby.
Balvina was a female warrior at BloodMoon Pack, She and Janet became closest friend soon after
Janet was claimed back to BloodMoon Pack 6 months ago.
Last night when Balvina heard about the trip to the Great Waterfall, she enthusiastically volunteered to
tag along.
Janet agreed with pleasure.
She knew that Balvina had a secret crush on her brother Casper. She had been trying to fix her up with
Casper for a while.
While waiting for Jared and Casper to arrive, Janet told Balvina about what happened the other day
during the meeting.
Sure enough, Balvina turned furious.
Janet shrugged, “That’s just classic Daran.”
Luckily for her now, she didn’t have to guess his thoughts anymore.
“So what’s his deal then?” Balvina nudged at Janet, “You wouldn’t think he still loves you and wants to
claim you back now?”
“No way. He clearly likes Harper now,” Janet said firmly. “And I’d never agree to that.”
“That’s the spirit. Though I still think you should kick both of their asses-
Balvina suddenly froze.
She looked over Janet’s shoulder and murmured in frustration, “…Oh what the hell?”
“What? Are they here?”
Janet turned around following Balvina’s gaze.
But it’s not Casper nor Jared.
It was Daran.
Daran walked over to Janet and Balvina. When he received their hostile glares, he casually raised an
eyebrow and said:
“Why? Only you are allowed to the Great Waterfall?”
Janet had a headache seeing this Alpha show up – this trip is going to be a tough one with Jared,
Casper, and Daran altogether.
