Harper collapsed on the ground, glaring at Janet in rage with tears in her eyes. But clearly nobody was
willing to help her.
Casper and Balvina were looking down at her with a sarcastic smile on their faces.
Jared wasn’t even paying attention to her. He was gazing into the direction of the waterfall.
Harper felt utterly humiliated.
She snapped her head towards Daran and begged with a trembling voice:
“Alpha…”
Daran frowned, an unreadable look on his face.
Harper suddenly grabbed his pants. She straightened her upper body and sobbed, “Alpha, please…I
really can’t walk on the ground like this. It’s so muddy. You know how delicate my feet are…”
Balvina let out snort loud enough for everyone to hear, “Delicate my ass. Why don’t you just stay inside
then.”
Harper pretended she didn’t hear Balvina’s sarcasm.
She focused her eyes on Daran and begged with a low voice only the two of them could hear:
“Please Alpha…Do you still remember the year when we were 8…in the forest?”
Daran’s body suddenly became tense.
8 years old.
Forest.
Those words triggered his memory from the past.
He was 8 years old at the time. And it was winter. He ran deep into the forest without telling anybody
and got lost there.
He passed out on the snow ground. Cold and starving. He thought he was about to die.
Yet when he woke up, he found himself back home already with Harper by his side.
Harper told him that it was her who brought him back from the forest. He was so heavy that
she had to carry him with all her might.
She even lost her shoes for it. Had to walk back on snowy ground with bare feet.
Her delicate feet were covered by scratches, blood and mud.
Daran had been having a soft spot for Harper ever since then.
He was very disappointed to find Janet to be his mate instead of Harper.
Taking in deep breath now, Daran crouched down in front of Harper and said:
“Climb up here.”
If Harper could carry him back from the forest on bare feet, he could also carry her through the rest of
this trip.
It was the right thing to do.
A bright smile immediately appeared on Harper’s face.
She quickly climbed onto Daran’s back and wrapped her arms around his neck.
‘Alpha, you are the best. Thank you,” she whispered softly into his cars.
When they walked pass by Janet, Harper purposely threw a condescending look at Janet.
Janet withdrew her look back from them.
Janet knew that Daran would be soft to Harper.
He had always chosen to be on Harper’s side no matter what.
Janet snorted coldly as a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
Whatever. She didn’t care anymore.
Her feeling towards Daran had died 6 months when he rejected her.
“Let’s go,” Janet smiled at Jared and continued her path.
Another 2 hours later, they finally arrived at the Great Waterfall.
This was the most famous tourist site in BloodMoon Pack. Many people hiked 5-6 hours just
to be here to observe the majestic waterfall.
As Janet’s group approached the waterfall, they are greeted by the gentle murmur of cascading water
that trickles down the rocks.
Though not towering, one can still feel the power of the waterfall. The water splashes and bounces on
the rocks below, throwing refreshing droplets in the air as it dances its way downstream.
Everyone was taken aback by the great power of the waterfall.
Even Harper let out a small gasp of astonishment.
“Feel the air!”
Jared spread his arms and took a deep breath of the refreshing cool breeze, “I could just live
here the whole summer!”
“Not only the summer. This is a great place to come to even during the winter,” Janet said with a faint
smile.
When she was first brough back to BloodMoon Pack, she couldn’t cope with her lost. So she would
spent hours hiking to the Great Waterfall and then camped in the wildness to spend the night.
It was with the loud splashing sound of water that she could finally find some sleeps. She was really in
a lost that time…
Jared tilted his head and noticed a fleeting sadness on Janet’s face.
He paused a little and suddenly spoke up in a joyful tone:
“Do you know what we should all do?”
Janet raised an eyebrow, “What?”
“Cliff diving!”
Everyone seemed intrigued, except for Harper.
Harper’s face turned pale immediately after she head about Jared’s suggestion. “What? Are you
crazy?” She blurted out in panic, “The cliff must be like 100 feet high!!”
Jared turned around and gave her an amused look, “What about it? You are a werewolf. You can’t be
afraid of a little height like this. Don’t you have diving training when you were
little?”
“Look at the kid over there,” Balvina added coolly and pointed at the distance. “Even little kids like them
aren’t afraid.”
Everybody looked at that direction.
There was indeed a group of 8 or 9 years old gleefully jumping off the cliff and diving into. the water.
Their loud laughter echoed in the valley.
Balvina stared at Harper’s pale face and sneered ironically, “Is a grownup from Riverside Pack more
cowardly than our little kid?”
Harper gritted her teeth and carefully peeked at the cliff.
She quickly brought her gaze back in fear.
No…it was too high! She couldn’t!
She did have diving training when she was a child. But she skipped all those trainings by forcing Janet
to fill her in.
She and her brothers were laughing their hearts out when Janet struggled in the water. Harper was so
sure that she didn’t have to learn about diving.
She was a princess!
No princess would have to dive.
How could she foresee a day like this?!
While Harper was busy panicking, Jared had pulled his shirt off and came to the edge of the cliff.
“I’ll take the lead. You guys catch up!” he yelled joyfully.
Spreading his arms wide open, Jared jumped off the cliff and dived directly into the water, making a
small splash as he landed.
Seconds later, he swam back to the water surface and waved at them yelling:
“That was fantastic! You guys–come on-!”
“No!” Harper shook her head frantically while stepping back, “That guy not seriously following him—”
is insane! You are
She looked to others for support.
Yet to her shock, the rest of the group was undressing themselves already.
“It sounds like fun.”
“Are you afraid?” a voice suddenly came from her side.
Janet looked back and found Daran staring at her closely.
He had taken his T–shirt off and was only dressed in a sport short right now.
His muscular chest, broad shoulder and perfectly tanned skin could easily make any girl
faint over excitement.
“I’m not-”
Before Janet could voice out her protest, Daran suddenly grabbed her hand.
“Let me help you.”
He smiled at her.
“1-2–Jump!”
Holding hands tighter, they jumped.
They drew a beautiful curve in the sky and dived into water together. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Up on the cliff, Harper let out a sharp cry and rushed to edge, “NO! Alpha—”
She couldn’t believe this!
Why was Daran holding Janet’s hand? He should be disgusted of her!
And how could Daran jump with Janet and left her here? He knew she was afraid!
“Looks like there’s only the three of us left.”
Harper slowly turned her back and found Casper and Balvina grinning at her.
“Do you want to go first?”
There was a crocked smile on Balvina’s face as she closed in upon Harper.
“I can give you a little nudge if you like,” Balvina chuckled.
