Chapter 35
Yet before Harper could beam in joy, she heard Casper asking her:
“Harper, you said that you wanted to train. Why not join us for the next round of dodge balls? I saw the
bruises on your face. Clearly you lack practice.”
Harper’s face quickly turned pale again.
What she said was clearly an excuse! Couldn’t Casper figure that out?
And she was dressed in a tight–fit dress with high heels. There was no way she could play dodge ball
in a dusty field with these soldiers!
She would look like a complete idiot!
“No,” Harper forced a smile. “No thank you…”
“We can use one more person on our team,” Kass laughed. “Miss Harper, I heard
that you are a noble in Riverside Pack. Surely you have a very strong wolf. So we will even use a better
ball to meet with your standard.”
He picked up another ball from the ground.
It looked 5 times larger than the ball that they were using before. It almost had the size of a
watermelon!
Harper had no doubt that her skull would be cracked open if that hit her!
“You must be mistaken…” Harper stammered, “I am no noble and my wolf is not that strong either…”
“Oh, is that so?” Kass raised his eyebrow. “But I heard that you called yourself Riverside Pack’s
princess. So I thought you must have royal blood. Otherwise, why would you fake your identity like
that?”
Everyone from Blood Moon Pack snickered sarcastically.
Harper seemed as though she wanted to jump at Kass and scratch his face with her long nails. But she
also wanted to maintain her grace in front of Casper.
Her face twisted in a mixture of rage and embarrassment.
“Miss Harper, you must excuse my soldiers.” Casper smiled idly, “Sometimes they are too
straightforward with the truth. And I insist you to join us for the dodge ball. It will be fun.”
He stuck out his hand to Harper, looking at her eagerly.
But Harper knew that she couldn’t accept his invitation, unless she wanted to be more embarrassed.
“Thank you…But I think I will pass…”
Harper backtracked with an awkward smile.
“I—I’ll see you later!”
She ran, staggering along the way in panic. She even tripped on her dress.
All of her friends and servants followed her and fled in disorder, knocking over chairs and breaking
teacups.
Some mocking laughter could be heard behind their backs.
“What a bunch of clowns!”
Balvina snorted. And she turned to Janet:
“Do you think this will teach her a lesson?”
Janet shook her head, “Harper NEVER learns her lesson.”
She narrowed her eyes at Harper, whose back was disappearing into the distance.
“Let’s just wait and see what more circus plays she has.”

Harper stormed into her house in rage.
“MOM-” she screamed while dashing across the living room, “DAD—”
A maid was scrubbing the floor in the hallway. Harper rushed at her before she could
move aside and gave a hard kick at her bucket furiously.
“Move aside you dumb ass! Can’t you see that your master is home?!”
The maid quivered in panic. Her whole body was covered in filthy water from the
bucket, but she didn’t dare to say a word.
Everyone in the Diaz’s residence knew how moody Harper was.
“Where the hell is my parents!” Harper balled her fists and screamed.
The door to the study opened up and Hellen rushed out urgently.
“What is the matter sweetie?” Hellen hurried to hug her daughter, “I thought you went over to the
training field today. Did Alpha Casper totally love you?”
“He did! But-”
Harper bit her lips with tears forming in her eyes. A few seconds later, she burst into loud wailing:
“It was that BITCH Janet again! And her dumb ass soldiers! They–they ganged up on me! How could
they do this-”
“Oh my poor baby. It is OK now. Mommy is here,” Hellen stroke her back, “Easy. Tell mommy what
happened.”
Harper choked and repeated everything that happened today.
“…And then she pulled out a ball almost the size of a watermelon and invited me to play!” Harper
finished up while sobbing, “She definitely wants me dead!” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
Hellen gritted her teeth angrily, “That bitch Janet…we raised her, feed her and provided her shelter for
almost 20 years! And that is how she treated her dear sister?! Those rogues should have ripped her fu
cking throat open 6 months ago!”
“But she is alive now!” Harper stomped the floor in tears, “Alive and with more power! She will keep
messing with me and I will never get to be Darran’s Luna. This has to stop!”
“I know my darling, I know. But we have discussed this. As long as she losses Alpha Casper’s support,
we will be able to destroy her easily.”
Hellen cup her face fondly.
“You said that Alpha Casper defended you in front of Janet and he invited you to train with him. So one
thing we know for sure is that he is not that into Janet. And you totally have a shot. Just find him in
private again and-”
“No!” Harper blurted out without thinking.
“No?” Hellen frowned, “I thought you wanted to do this.”
“I do. And he totally had a big crush on me. It is just…”
Harper hesitated.
Her mind drifted back to the awkward moment she had on the training field.
She really didn’t want to face Casper again after that!
Yet she also didn’t want to admit that she made a total fool of herself. So after a little
pause, Harper mumbled:
Hellen pondered a little bit and nodded, “You are right darling. It is not worthy to
risk your reputation over that little skunk Janet. So who should we send to seduce Alpha Casper?”
“Hold on sweetie…let me think…‘
“I can do it.”
Harper and Hellen both turned around.
A woman was standing by the corner and looking at them nervously.
It was that maid whom Harper kicked at earlier.
She never walked far away and had been eavesdropping all along.
Harper crinkled her nose in disgust, “Who the hell are you?”
“My name is Amy, a maid in this house. And I am up for the dirty work you talked about, Miss Harper.”
