The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story Novel

Chapter 0372 

As Jane lunged toward me, I made my own move, reaching into my bodice. 

Jane grabbed my left arm, but I used my right hand to wrap the cuff on Jane’s wrist. 

I expected her to wince, or gasp, or have some kind of reaction at all. Instead, she just seemed amused. She stopped short, but she also smiled at me. It was a devilish–looking smile, cat-like. 

“What’s this?” she asked. “Using my own toys against me?” 

“It dampens the strength of my wolf,” I said. “The one you stole.” 

“Cute that you think I need the wolf to have the upper hand here.” 

“I caught you,” I said. I couldn’t understand how she could be so calm about this. She was acting like she had one something, when I was the one who had trapped her. 

Her smile was sharp as a dagger’s edge. “Who caught who exactly, Piper?” 

A crunch of metal sounded. A cold metal bracelet closed around my own wrist. A handcuff? 

She’d handcuffed us together. 

“Now be a good girl and come with me somewhere a little quieter,” Jane said. 

I blatantly refused and pulled against her hold. Without her wolf strength, we were more or less evenly matched in strength. I might have even had a slight advantage due to surprise. 

Jane had grown accustomed to the strength of my wolf. She didn’t realize how much more effort she would have to put in without it. 

I grabbed her arm and she grabbed mine, and we tossed and turned, each trying to get the upper hand. No one else seemed to notice. Maybe to any outside observer, it seemed like we were doing another silly dance. 

But then, Jane swiftly snatched a steak knife from one of the cutlery settings on the table and wedged it up against my ribs. 

I immediately froze. 

“Enough of this foolishness,” she growled. “I tire of these games.” 

“You can’t murder me here,” I said. “They would catch you before you get out of

“So sure about that, are you?” 

When she said it like that, I wasn’t. After all, she had already escaped the palace guard so many times before. I couldn’t be so naïve as to think she didn’t have a backup plan for this time as well. 

“Don’t do anything stupid,” I said, and it felt like a plea. 

Jane shifted her gaze to the view of the night sky out the nearby floor to ceiling windows. 

“The stars are beautiful tonight,” she said. “Maybe we should go get a closer look. A bit of fresh air might do us both some good.” 

I knew that by going out onto the balcony with her, I might as well have been signing my own death warrant. But, admittedly, things didn’t appear much better by staying here instead. 

The sharp end of that knife was still pressed up against my ribcage. All Jane would have to do is push and it would sl*p between my ribs and touch my heart. I’d be dead before I even hit the floor. 

“Very well,” I said. If we went outside, I could at least delay the inevitable somewhat. The best I could hope for now was that by stalling, I could give Veronica time to get to Nicholas and Julian. But I imagined both princes were behind locked doors at the moment, impossible to reach. 

Unless… 

My n*ecklace! 

With my free hand, I reached up, but Jane noticed and too quickly, grabbed the chain of my n*ecklace and yanked, breaking it free. She tossed it over her shoulder. It skidded along the floor and disappeared behind a nearby curtain. 

With it, disappeared my hopes of a timely rescue. 

“None of that,” Jane growled. “Terry warned me about that little device.” 

She started to dig the knife in, forcing me to move. “I’m tired of being nice,” she said. “Outside. Now.”
