Chapter 6

Perhaps Jenna had caught a cold from the cold breeze all night, but she felt unwell and had a slight cough when she woke up the next day.

Matthew was heartbroken when he saw this. Seeing that she had no appetite, he ordered her favorite stew.

However, the delivery did not arrive for a long time. Jenna called to ask, yet the food delivery platform said that the seller would deliver it themselves. When she tried to contact the seller, she could not get through to them.

After an hour and a half, the doorbell finally rang.

The moment Jenna opened the door, her face was already tinged with anger. "How could you have taken so long..."

Jenna froze before she could finish speaking.

The person standing at the door was Luna. She was covered in mud, carrying a takeout bag. She was staring at Jenna without blinking. After a long time, she smiled faintly and answered, "We finally meet, Ms. Scott. I came to surprise you."

Jenna clenched her fists.

The next second, Luna dropped the takeout bag to the floor. At the same time, she plopped down on the ground, and her eyes reddened immediately. "I'm sorry. I accidentally fell on the way here and hurt my leg. That's why I'm late..."

Jenna said nothing but waited quietly for her next trick. As expected, Matthew's figure soon appeared. He first asked Jenna who was standing in the doorway with an indifferent expression, "Jenna, what happened?"

Then, he looked down at Luna sitting amidst the mess on the ground. He was so shocked that his tone changed. "Why are you here?"

Luna was huddled on the ground with red eyes. The stew had spilled all over the ground, staining her clothes and making her look particularly disheveled.

"Sorry for being late, Mr. Simmons. Your wife probably pushed me out of anger. She didn't push me hard. It's my fault for losing my footing... I just hope you'll intercede for me. It took me a lot of effort to find this job."

Jenna looked down at the pitiful Luna before looking up at Matthew.

However, Matthew did not even look at her. He strode to Luna and helped her up. "What happened to your foot?"

Luna's ankle was still bleeding. "I accidentally fell on the way here..."

"Let's go to the hospital first!" Matthew picked up Luna in his arms and was about to leave.

Jenna could not help calling to him, "Matthew, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

He paused for a moment before turning around with his eyes lowered. "Luna saved me the day I was hit by the chandelier. Jenna, what you did today has let me down." With that said, he hurried away with Luna in his arms.

Jenna saw Luna turn around and flash her a triumphant smile when she got into the passenger seat of Matthew's car. Jenna's phone suddenly vibrated, and she tapped on it to find a voice message from Luna.

As soon as it played, Matthew's voice rang out. "I only asked you to pretend to be a food delivery rider and deliver her order. How did you get yourself into this mess?"

Luna answered coquettishly, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I'm just too clumsy."

He sighed helplessly. "I don't mean to blame you. I just feel sorry for you. But don't worry, I'll tell Jenna to arrange a job for you when I get home."

Luna responded, "Okay. You're the best, Matt. I love you."

Jenna then received a provocative message from Luna.

Luna: [Do you like this gift, Ms. Scott?]

Cadence, a modern botanist, woke up to a glaring sun and massive, alien purple leaves blocking the sky. She was stranded in a terrifying, primal world. Before she could process the metallic smell of blood in the air, a white tiger the size of an SUV crushed a giant boar's neck right in front of her. The beast locked its piercing blue eyes on her hiding spot. But instead of tearing her throat out, a blinding flash of silver light erupted, and the monster transformed into a towering, heavily scarred naked man. He was Harlan, a shifter who immediately claimed her as his mate under tribal law. Dragged back to his primitive village, Cadence faced a brutal reality. Unbonded females were targets, and she was expected to take multiple mates just to survive. The tribal women mocked her fragile frame, calling her useless. To make matters worse, her foreign scent attracted a rogue serpent-shifter who violently ambushed her in the river. The icy shock of the serpent's attack plunged Cadence into a deadly, burning fever. The tribe's Shaman tried his healing magic, only to shake his head and abandon her. "She lacks primal fortitude. She will rely entirely on her own weak vitality. I can do nothing." As Harlan held her shivering body in despair, Cadence felt a deep sense of desperate injustice. Was she really going to die in a filthy stone hut in an unknown universe, killed by a simple cold? No. She remembered her grandfather's strict survival lessons. Forcing her heavy eyes open, she grabbed her terrified tiger mate's hand. She didn't need their failing magic; she had science. "I need specific plants to live. I need white willow bark. And a spicy, ginger-like root." She rasped, preparing to show this savage world the true power of a modern survivor.
