Chapter 178

The cord snapped with a sharp cracking sound.

The entire bridge fell off and crashed down into the river. Paul and Hellen screamed in terror, but their voice was immediately swallowed by the raging turbulence.

Janet and Morgana stood on top of the tower and looked down.

The remains of the bridge floated down the river. Blood painted part of the water red.

Janet placed a hand on Morgana’s shoulder, feeling the tremble of that body under her touch.

“You did the right thing,” she said to Morgana quietly.

“Yeah.”

Morgana took in a deep breath, “They left me in that hospital to die. I guess 20 years.

isn’t a very long time for me to have my revenge.”

“Congratulations,” Janet smiled.

“Thank you. But what about Harper? Did she escape?”

Janet let out a cold snort, “She can’t. I won’t let that happen.”

Janet turned around and found Daran striding out of the door.

“Kass is with her. Layla won’t get away. I am coming with you to get Harper.”

Daran stretched his body and shifted into his wolf.

The giant black wolf lowered its back and let Janet climb up.

With a long howl to the moon, the wolf pushed the ground with its rear legs and leaped forward!

Janet clung tightly to the wolf’s fur as they soared gracefully across the gaping chasm, the cold wind biting at Janet’s cheeks.

The depth underneath her was daunting. If they slipped, they would absolutely crash

and die.

Yet Janet was not afraid.

Because she knew that she was safe with Daran. He would never let them fall.

The wolf landed on the other end safely. Janet gazed into the forest ahead. The twisted branches and tangled vines created an impenetrable darkness.
