Chapter 111
Janet was right about that presumption.
On the following day, Harper sent a maid to Janet’s room and invited her to a small gathering.
“And what is this gathering for?”
Janet asked the maid. She was sitting in front of the dresser, brushing her long hair. “M-Miss Harper said that it is a beautiful day outside…so she hoped that you could join them at the canal. It is the perfect weather for a cruise tour.”
Janet let out a cold sneer, “And what if I don’t want to go?”
The maid quivered slightly in fear. She lowered her head and said in a pleading tone, “Please…Miss Janet. Miss Harper really wants you there. She said that she will be truly disappointed if you don’t show up-”
“Those are her exact words?”
The maid hesitated.
Janet placed the comb on the dresser and turned around to look at her, “It isn’t, right? Tell me precisely what she said.”
“I…I’d rather not, Miss Janet…” the maid sounded horrified.
“It is alright. Those are her words, not yours. Say it.’
The maid gulped.
And then slowly, she said in an extremely low voice, “…Miss Harper said… ‘If that bitch Janet refuses to come, send a group of guards down to her room. Strip her, tie her up, and throw her into the canal. Then she will know who is really in charge here.”
Janet snorted sarcastically.
“She really said that?” a deep voice came from behind their back.
Daran just walked out of the bathroom.
He apparently had heard what the maid just said.
“A-Alpha Daran!” the maid gasped in awe.
Daran paced over and placed his hand on Janet’s shoulder.
“Tell your master that Gamma Janet is too busy for her stupid little play.”
Daran said dangerously.
“And watch her mouth, if she doesn’t want her tongue to be plucked out.”
The maid murmured a yes.
“Actually…” Janet said, looking at Daran, “I don’t mind going.”
Daran frowned, “Why waste your time on that woman?”
“I have got nothing going around here anyway. Might as well go and see what Harper is up to. We need to gather more information about the rogues. This is a great chance.”
الله
“Alright.”
Daran kissed Janet’s forehead, “You want me to come with you?”
“It is fine. I can handle it by myself,” Janet smiled.
She followed the maid and left the room.
By the time they arrived at the canal, there was already a wooden boat on the water.
Harper and a few girls were waiting for her inside the boat.
Seeing that Janet had arrived, Harper stood up immediately and placed her hands on her hips.
“What took you so long!” she snapped at Janet.
Janet sneered, crossing her arms in front of her chest, “The next time you want to invite me to something, you better ask more nicely.”
“I didn’t invite you! I ordered you to come! I am the Queen. And you have to do whatever I want from you!”
Harper stomped her feet in fume. But she forgot that she was on the water. The boat rocked violently because of her moment. Everyone on board gasped in panic.
Harper swayed and waved her hands in the air like a frightened goose.
Janet caught her wrist and shoved her back into the boat.
Then she jumped onto the boat and looked down at Harper’s horror-struck face with an icy smile:
“If you want me to come, I will come. But don’t you regret it later?”
“O-Of course I won’t!” Harper shrieked, “Hey you, the boatman, roll this damn boat!”
The boatman paddled and the boat drifted away from the shore.
Right at this second, a voice traveled down from the shore, “Hey, you got room for one more?”
Everyone looked around. And they found that it was Morgana.
“No!” Harper rejected immediately, looking a little bit on edge. “T-The boat is full already!”
Janet moved to the side and made room for one extra seat, “Here is a seat for you, Morgana!”
Harper jerked around and glared at Janet. Yet before she could say anything else to turn Morgana away, Morgana already leaped lightly onto their boat.
“Thanks,” she beamed.
Harper’s face twisted in anger. She wanted to tell Morgana to fuck off. But the boat had already drifted away from the shore.
“What the hell are you doing here?” she hissed at Morgana, “You are not invited! This is a private event!”
Morgana played with a lock of her hair, smiling idly, “I invited myself. The King had made it clear that he didn’t want anyone to treat Miss Janet rudely. I am just here to make sure that you are not deliberately going against the King’s will
A round of hisses could be heard on the boat.
“The King is too nice to them!” a rogue girl snapped, “This woman killed many of our brothers and sisters! We should cut their heads off!”
Janet countered icily, “Only because you invaded us first. And you are welcome to try
and cut off my head anytime. I dare you.”
“Y-You think I wouldn’t dare?!” the girl cried furiously.
“Please. Be my guest.”
The girl was forced into a dilemma. She didn’t want to look weak in front of everyone after what she just said. Yet she was also not braved enough to challenge Janet, a well-known Gamma.
“Don’t be afraid,” Harper said in an encouraging tone. “Janet is not that strong at all. The rumors totally exaggerated her power. When we were little, I used to hit her like a punching bag and ride her around like a horse all the time!”
“Oh yeah?” Morgana chimed in, looking intrigued. “Then how did she become the Gamma?”
Harper shot Janet a disgusted glare, “By spreading her legs and pleasing men in bed, obviously. She slept with all the men in Blood Moon Pack to get that job, including her brother, Alpha Casper. It is fucking twisted incest-Ahh!”
Janet straightened up abruptly. She grabbed Harper by her hair and drew her close forcefully.
There were flames of fury burning in Janet’s eyes.
“Take it back,” she hissed.
Harper winced in pain. She felt as though her entire scalp was being pulled off.
“N-NO!” she shrieked stubbornly, “You are whole! A filthy whore who spread your fucking legs for your own brother! You should beg for my mercy now! I am a lady! I am the Queen!!!”
Janet gave a good shove on Harper’s shoulder.
She cried panicky and fell into the water.
Amidst the chaos, she caught Janet’s wrist.
Then with a loud, splashing noise, Harper and Janet fell off the boat together!
