Kidnapped and Rejected – The Return of Alpha’s Luna by Moon Claw

Chatper 170

Chapter 170

The Queen’s mother.

Wearing fake.

It was such a scandal!

Sof the guests tonight were already unhappy with the choice of the Queen. They didn’t think an

outsider like Harper deserved to marry their King, especially since that she was an outsider without any

title or power.

If they heard that the queen’s mother was carrying a fake handbag, they would definitely laugh their

asses off.

And it would piss Harper off greatly.

Harper was the queen now. Hellen didn’t want to upset her powerful daughter!

Jstared at Hellen and chuckled, “So, are we going to have a problem?”

Hellen swallowed, “…N–No.”

“And your drinks?”

Paul grabbed a glass and quickly took a sip, “It is fine.”

“Good.” Jsmiled.

They couple didn’t dare to say anything else. But they kept darting angry glares at Janet.

Just then, a servant by the door announced loudly:

“-Ladies and gentlemen, The King and the Queen!”

The heavy double door swung open with the organ pealing solemnly in the background. All guests

turned around and looked towards the entrance.

Lance and Harper walked in holding hands.

Harper had changed out of her wedding gown and was now wearing an elegant, floor–length gown

made from sumptuous, rose–colored silk.

The gown fitted at the waist and featured a deep V–neckline and was adorned with hand–embroidered

lance detailing that shimmered in the light.

The long, flowing skirt added a touch of drama and sophistication.

She accessorized with a statement necklace made from diamonds and pearls, which sparkled against

the skin.

Each of those diamonds was the size of a quail egg

Applause broke out in the ballroom. Harper smiled and nodded to all directions, her face radiant with

delight and complacency.

“That is my daughter!” Paul said loudly amidst the applause, “See? My daughter is the queen. I am

your King’s father–in–law!”

Compared to Harper’s thrilled expression, Lance seemed less excited.

He held Harper’s hand walking to the center of the ballroom and announced in a dull.

voice:

“-I present you, my Queen, Harper Diaz.”

He let go of Harper’s hand as soon as he said that.

The crowd applauded again. Many guests cforward to talk to the King and his newly crowned

Queen.

Paul and Hellen immediately abandoned their drinks on the counter and blended into the crowd.

“Coming through!” Paul cried, pushing himself through.

Hellen giggled stupidly behind his back, “Make way for the King’s mother and father–in–law!”

The crowd parted and they got up to the front.

“My King!” Paul bowed to Lance in a dramatic manner, “It is such an honor to finally meet you. Harper

said so many nice things about you…”

“Mr. Diaz,” Lance nodded nonchalantly.

“And the wedding!” Hellen picked up the topic and gasped, “The wedding is just absolutely gorgeous!

Oh my, I have never attended a fancier wedding before-

“It is fancy because it cost a fortune,” said a voice behind their back.

People looked to their back and saw Morgana walking up to them in a flaming–red long gown, looking

absolutely stunning.

She had a mask over her face to cover the hideous birthmark on her face.

“My King.”

Morgana curtseyed to Lance casually and completely ignored Harper’s presence. Hellen darted this

beautiful woman a hostile glare, “What do you mean ‘cost a fortune‘? My son–in–law here is the King!

He owns the entire rogue kingdom. Of course, he can afford it. It is so ungraceful of you to talk about

money here, on my dear daughter’s wedding!”

Morgana slowly turned to look at this woman.

This woman, and the man stood by her, were her birth parents.

The people who had abandoned her, cold–bloodedly.

She had been preparing for this day since she heard that Harper was bringing her parents to this

wedding.

Hatred burned in her eyes behind the mask.

These two deserved to rot in hell.

“On the contrary, money is exactly what we need to talk about.”

Morgana crossed her arms and let out a sneer:

“Every penny spent on this wedding comes from our national treasury. Your daughter insisted on

having the best stuff on everything: brand–new silk bedsheet for everyone, tailored made guest

nightrobes, redecorating the entire palace,

exquisite jewelries for herself…We even paid for your clothes and accessories for tonight, Mr. and Mrs.

Diaz.

“I have never seen the bill,” Lance said with a frown. “How much in total?”

“50 million,” Morgana said coolly.

“…50 fucking million?!”

Lance raised his voice furiously, “Why haven’t I heard about this before? Are we going to fucking drain

our national treasury for this fucking wedding?!”

Morgana shrugged, “I showed this bill to the Queen. Apparently, she believed that this is a money

worth spending.”

Harper’s cheeks seemed to be on fire.

She gasped urgently to defend herself, “I–I know it is a lot. But this is our wedding! Once in a lifetime!

50 million is nothing compared to its significance…”

“You are the one to say!” Lance glared at her, “I already tookenough manpower to get your parents

across the border. And 50 million spent on one night?! You have never contributed a single penny to

this kingdom!”

Harper looked as though she just got slapped at the face.

This was her big night. And every guest was staring at her. She could see the mockery in their eyes.

She couldn’t be humiliated. At least not tonight!

“Can you stop now?” she gritted, “Many of my friends in Riverside Pack spent millions on their

weddings. How cI didn’t see their husbands complain?”

Lance sneered, “Oh now you think Riverside Pack is better? Then why don’t you go back there and see

if Daran still wants you as his Luna?”

Light snickers could be heard from the crowd.

Most guests were gloating over Harper.

None of them liked her very much.

Morgana added, “Oh. And I do remember you saying that the bride’s side will be paying for half of this

wedding, correct? So when can I receive that check from you?”

Harper gulped nervously.

But she couldn’t back down from this fight.

She puffed her chest and snorted arrogantly, “25 million is nothing for my family! Mom, dad, write her a

check”

Paul and Hellen widened their

eyes!

shock.

“B…But darling…” Hellen lowered her voice, her face flaming red. “We don’t have that kind of

money…”

Paul nodded, “Yeah. Remember the tax issue we had in Riverside Pack? We haven’t sorted that

problem yet… King Lance even paid out transportation to the border…”

Harper widened her eyes, mortified.

How was this even possible?!

The crowd jeered.

“I am the King’s CabMinister.” Morgana eyed her icily, “So you better watch your tongue. Do not

disrespect me.”

Hellen quivered under her sharp gaze.

Paul stuttered, “I–I am sure we can sort this out. My son–in–law here is the King for Christ’s sake…”

“Stop callingthat.”

Lance redirected his freezing stare to Paul, “Everyone–including your

daughter–refers toas the King.”

A gorgeous waltz music started to play in the background. Guests in the far distance cto gathered

by the dance floor, waiting for the King and Queen to open tonight’s first dance.

“Let us get this fucking thing over with first.” Lance hissed to Harper, “We will have a thorough

conversation about this later.”

Harper bit her lips holding the tears in her eyes.

She gave her hand to Lance and let him drag her into the dancefloor.

That bitch Morgana ruined everything!

But it was OK. There was still tto fix this. She would enjoy the rest of her night and find a way to

cool Lance’s fury later…She could do it…

Harper took a deep breath and put on a forced smile.

Yet before they could start dancing, a loud voice rose above the music and the chatters, announcing:

“-Sir Edwin is here!”

Hearing that, Lance immediately abandoned Harper in the dancefloor and rushed to the ballroom’s

entrance.

“Where are you going!” Harper cried to his back.

There was a commotion in the ballroom. Everyone was standing on their tiptoe gazing at the door as if

somebody important was going to show up.

Jnoticed this behind the bar.

She turned to ask another servant behind the counter, “Who is Sir Edwin?”

“You never heard of him?” the servant gave her a strange look.

“No. Is he like a noble or something?”

“Oh I forgot. You are from the other side of the border.” The servant giggled.

He lowered his voice. And whispered to her in a mysterious voice:

“…Then have you heard about the Lycans?”
