Chapter 18
In Riverside Pack.
A black Benz was parked by the road. Beside the car, a chubby, middleâaged woman was sitting in an armchair letting a maid rub her fat shoulder from the back.
âHow much longer?â Mrs. Hellen Diaz closed her eyes and asked,
A short and stout man was smoking his pipe with his son by the roadside. Heard about Mrs. Diazâs question, Mr. Paul Diaz checked his phone and answered, âAbout half an hour.â
âMom, you might want to stand up for the Alphaâs arrival.â Their middle son John said to Hellen while breathing out a smoke.
âWhy on earth would I have to stand up?â Hellen grunted, âWhen he married Harper later, heâll be my sonâinâlaw! He probably has to bow to me when that happened.â
Paul giggled and nodded in joy, âYour mother makes a fair point, son.â
Just imagine thatâan alpha bowing to them!
They could probably shop and dine for free in Riverside and ask all commoners to make way
for them.
How awesome was that!
They never enjoyed such privilege when their stupid daughter Janet was the Luna. Paul and Hellen were convinced that itâs because Janet didnât serve Alpha Daran well.
If it was Harper, things would be so much different.
John rolled his eyes and complained, âStill, I donât understand why Olive can skip this and I canât! I was in the middle of a date when you dragged me here!â
Hellen opened her eyes and snaped at her middle son, âOlive didnât have to be here because he was busy training himself. He would soon serve in Alphaâs troops and became a general! What can you do except for hitting on whores?â
Johnâs face turned red as he cried out in grievance, âItâs not fair momâ
âJust forget about your bimbo for one day, will you?â Hellen stuck out a chubby finger and pointed at John, âWhen Harper became Luna and Olive the general, you can have any girl you want!â
John beamed, âEven an Alphaâs daughter?â
âOf course.â Paul patted his sonâs shoulder lovingly. âOnly an Alphaâs daughter deserves my wonderful son.â
Just then, the engine sound came from the distance.
The three of them stuck their head out and lookedâit was a silver RollsâRoyce was racing towards them in fullâspeed.
âItâs him! Itâs Alpha Daranâs car! My sister is in there with him!â John cried loudly as though he wanted everybody to hear, though there was nobody else around.
John rushed to the middle of the street, waving his arms in the air like a giant gorilla: âAlpha DaranâHarper-!!â
The car made a sharp stop, almost running John over.
The backseatâs door flied open the next second. Harper lunged out and threw herself into Hellenâs arms in tears:
âMom! Dad! I miss you guys so much!! You have no idea what Iâve been through in
BloodMoon Packâ¦
Hellen was startled by Harperâs reaction, âOh my baby! Whatâs the matter? Whereâs Alpha Datan?â
âHeâs in the car making a phone call,â
Harper wiped her tears on Hellenâs shoulder and casted a resentful gaze at the car.
âMom and dad, thereâs something I need to tell you-
Yet she was interrupted by a voice the next second:
âItâs been a while, Mr. and Mrs. Diaz.â
â1
Everybody jerked around and found a slender figure emerge from the car.
Janet closed the car door behind her and revealed a calm smile at the Diaz family.
âRemember me?â she asked.
A deadly silence fell upon them.
A few seconds later, John suddenly let out a sharp cry. He staggered back in fear while screaming:
-You! No way you g
âDied?â
have been-â
Janet lifted the corner of her mouth into an ironic smile, âI know thatâs what you all want of
meâdied. But sadly, Iâm not. Feeling disappointed?â
Hellen glared at Janet with round eyes. Her toadâlike face twisted in
âNoâ¦â Hellen murmured in disbelief, âBut now-?â
rage.
âI survived,â Janet smiled icily, âeven though you let those rogues to kill me. I must have outlived your expectation, Mr. and Mrs. Diaz.â
Paul suddenly grabbed his wifeâs hand for support, his nails digging into her fat. He ground his teeth and suddenly cried out:
âThen why the hell do you have to come back then! You survived, fine! Then just live pathetic elsewhere and stay away from us! Iâve disowned you as my daughter!â
Janet stared at them coldly, âYes, I believe you have.â
âMom and d coming back for our fortune!â
John didnât dare to
your
come close to Janet, so he hid behind his parentâs back and screamed:
âThat must b
why sheâs back. For money! She wanted to dry out our wallet! That kidnap almost cost us 100 million! And now sheâs coming back for more!â
Janet clenched her fists, âDonât flatter yourself-
BAH!
Hellen spat at her and roared at the top of her lung, âYou shameless little rat! You can go f**k yourself if you still want our money. It ainât happening! What have you done for this family, huh? You couldnât even get Olive a job in the army when you were Luna. How could I
give birth to a filthy, useless rat like you?!â
Janet wiped the spat away from her face and glared at them with cold eyes.
Her gaze was so sharp and intimidating that the Diaz family couldnât help but shiver slightly,
âShh, shh. Just go!â John gathered his courage and hissed at Janet like chasing away a dog,
Go back to where you came from! We wonât spare you a penny!â
âShe probably came from a brothel.â Hellen snorted in despise, âOr else how did she make a living in the past 6 months? She didnât have any damn skills.â
Janetâs eyes gleamed in full
rage.
âBrother? A whore?â Janet suddenly glared at Harper, whoâs been sobbing onto Hellenâs shoulder. âAre you talking about your dear daughter Harper? Because thatâs what she is, a whore. Seducing other womenâs husbandâ¦How shameful!â
âWHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING?!â
Hellen screamed loudly.
She raised her chubby little hand up in the air and dashed at Janet:
âIâm going to kill youâyou little ratâ!!!â
Janet sneered coldly. Hellen looked no more threatening than a crazy hen in her eyes.
Raising a hand, Janet easily caught Hellen by the wrist with her right hand.
Hellen was shocked.
She didnât know Janet could be this swift. Janet was never able to fight back when she hit her in the past!
âHereâs a warning-â
Janet leant close to Hellenâs sweaty face and hissed:
âDonât f**king touch meâAGAIN!â
SLAP!
Janet raised her left hand and landed a hard slap on Hellenâs fat face. It was such a powerful strike that Hellenâs tooth became loose!
âAhhhh-!â
Hellen shrieked desperately while staggering back, âHelp! Somebody help! She is killing
me

âWhatâs the matter?â
A deep voice came from behind themâDaran had just got off the car.
He just finished his call in the car. And he had heard their quarrel already.
Daran was confused.
He always thought Janet had a fine relationship with her family. Janet wasnât very smart, so her family didnât like her as much as they liked Harper.
But overall, they were still a loving family.
Yet based on what he saw today, the Diaz had grown apart for years.
Was this why Janet didnât want to come back to Riverside?
âAlpha!â
Harper rushed forward and grabbed Daranâs sleeve while sobbing, âYou must help us! Janetâshe slapped my mother! How dare she did thisâthis is our pack for Christâs sake! Not BloodMoon anymore!â
âRight. Alpha!â John cried. âJanet is ridiculous. Sheâs asking for our money as soon as she

âAhhhh-!â
Hellen shrieked desperately while staggering back, âHelp! Somebody help! She is killing,

âRight, Alpha!â John cried, âJanet is ridiculous. Sheâs asking for our money as soon as she came back. You must punish her!â
Daranâs face slightly darkened.
He turned to Janet and was about to say something, when a honk came from the distance. A striking number of troops was heading towards them.
All cars stopped when they came close. Soldiers on the truck all rose form their seat and saluted to Janet in unison:
â-Gamma Janet!â
Their voice so loud that it sent birds flying into the sky from branches.
In the leading car, a black Bentley, the car window was rolled down and revealed a handsome manâs face.
âWhatâs the matter here?â
Casper smiled coolly while staring at the aghast looking Diaz, his eyes narrowed.
âIs someone giving my Gamma a hard time?â
