Chapter 112
The water was freezing cold. Janet felt a chill traveling through her body almost immediately.
Fortunately, she held her breath as soon as she dropped out of the boat, so she didn’t choke on water.
Swinging her arms and kicking her legs in the water, Janet tried to swim up to the water’s surface to get
the air.
But her ankle was caught by someone from below.
Astonished, Janet looked down and found Harper underneath her.
Harper was apparently lack of air as well. Her face was pale like a ghost with her cheeks puffed out.
Even her eyeballs were bulging.
Yet despite her critical condition, Harper was not trying to swim upwards.
She had both of her hands around Janet’s ankle and was trying to drag Janet down with her whole
might!
She wanted to kill Janet!
Fuck!
Janet couldn’t believe how vicious Harper was!
If she remembered correctly, Harper was not very good with water. When they went cliff diving in the
Blood Moon Pack, Harper panicked big time and made a total fool of herself.
Yet even so, she was still staying in the water now, trying to pull Janet down.
She hated Janet so much that she was willing to risk her own life to have Janet drown here!
Janet felt her anger flared.
She raised a leg and kicked hard on Harper’s forehead, trying to get rid of her.
Harper opened her mouth and cried. But no sound came. Only bubbles flew out of her mouth.
Her hands were still clamped tightly around Janet’s leg.
Janet felt that her chest was going to explode.
And the worst thing was that they were now both sinking towards the bottom of this canal.
Janet knew that she couldn’ Harper.

She had been carrying this around ever since she found out that they couldn’t shift into their wolves in
the Grace Ruin. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Pulling that dagger out, Janet swung it at Harper.
The dagger cut open Harper’s skin. Blood squirted out and mixed up with the water.
Janet felt the grip around her an de loosen.
So she immediately took this chance to kick her legs at a fast speed and swam towards the surface.
She managed to stick her head out of the water before she choked. The air was crisp and fresh. She
breathed in hungrily.
There were a lot of people crying and yelling in the distance. They sounded anxious.
“Help! We need help here! They fell into the water!”
“Guards! Over here!”
“Save the King’s mate first!”
Janet wanted to raise her arm up high in the air and called for their attention, letting
them know that she was there.
Yet before she could do that, a strong force came from beneath her feet again. And she was dragged
back into the water!
It was Harper again!
Harper swam towards Janet rapidly and wrapped her arms around Janet’s waist, pressing Janet down
to the bottom of the canal.
Janet could see her hatred-filled eyes in the water.
A gust of rage swept over Janet.
She punched on Harper’s face. But her strength was reduced by water resistance. She pulled on
Harper’s hair and tried to force Harper to let go. Harper opened her mouth and bit hard on Janet’s arm.
They wrestled with each other, like two crazy beasts.
Harper couldn’t get Janet to drown, and Janet couldn’t shake her off either.
Right at this moment, another person jumped into the water again and lunged towards them at full
speed.
This must be a guard who came to rescue them.
Janet clearly heard people asking guards to save the King’s mate first.
Yet instead of going for Harper first, this guard swam towards Janet and wrapped his arm around her
shoulder.
He helped Janet kick off Janet forcefully and brought her swimming towards the shore.
SPLASH!
They rose to the surface. Janet coughed violently, her body shaking.
She felt a pair of strong arms lift her up and help her to climb up onto the shore. “T-Thank you…”
Janet turned around to look at the guard who just saved her.
She was shocked to find that it was Kass.
“What are you doing here?” She gasped.
Kass grinned. His brown eyes were gleaming gorgeously against the sparkling water. “I was on the
patrol team. I heard people crying for help and came over. Thank god that I am not too late,” he said.
A few girls ran over. One of them was the girl who threatened to chop Janet’s head off earlier.
“W–Where is Miss Harper!” that girl shrieked, “I asked you to save Miss Harper first! She is the King’s
mate for Christ’s sake!”
Kass gave her a cold look, “I didn’t see her down water. Maybe she drowned already.”
“I-Impossible! You get back in there! NOW!”
Just then, another splashing noise came from their back.
Harper stuck her head out of the water, panting roughly. Nobody came to help her. She floundered
around and struggled to the shore herself.
“Miss Harper! Are you alright?” the girl hurried to offer her a hand, “Come on. Let me help you.”
The girl’s gaze fixed on Harper’s forehead. The look on her face changed abruptly. “M-Miss Harper,
what is that on your face?” she asked reluctantly.
Janet followed the girl’s gaze. She almost burst into laughter.
The concealer that Harper wore every day to cover her tattoo was worn out in the
water.
The tattoo was now clear as day-SLAVE.
Harper widened her eyes in horror.
With a desperate cry, she turned her back to people and covered her forehead with both of her hands.
Yet everyone around had seen her tattoo already.
A round of mutterings and whispers could be heard from the crowd.
“Are you a slave? Why did you lie?” a girl cried.
“I can’t believe this…Our King’s mate is a slave?”
“There must be something wrong with this!”
A group of soldiers rushed over and surrounded Janet.
Janet’s voice turned cold, “What did I do?”
Harper was the one who tried to have her killed in the water.
Twisting the fact.
Twisting the fact.
This was what Harper was best at.
“ARREST THEM! NOW!” Harper cried again.
Soldiers took a step further.
Kass stood in front of Janet and kept her behind his back.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from their backs-Morgana arrived at the scene.
“Drop your weapons!” Morgana snapped, “Nobody makes a move until I
say so!”
Everyone turned around to look at her, including Janet and Kass.
Morgana and Kass’s eyes met in the air.
They held their breaths in shock and excitement together.
And then the next second, they muttered in unison:
“-Mate!”
