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

“Enough!” Jsnarled, cutting off their quarrel.

Daran and Jared didn’t try to keep their voices down, which meant that the entire crowd just heard their

conversation. And everyone around was studying Jwith curious eyes.

Jwas embarrassed.

Great. Now that entire Crimson Fortress knew that the two Alphas were fighting about her.

“This nonsense has got to stop! Do you hear me?” Jhissed to them in a low voice, “Do you want

the others to think that there is a riot? That we are fighting among this group?”

“Daran started it,” Jared said sternly.

“Yes, he started it. But simply because he had doubts. So instead of standing here and giving each

other shits, why don’t we go talk to Veronica and verify things with her?”

Jared’s jaw clenched.

“I have nothing to hide,” he said grumpily. “So sure. Let’s talk to Veronica. And find out who is lying.”

He picked up his jacket from the ground and walked away in long strides.

Daran darted an angry look at his back before turning to Janet, “I am glad that you were on my side-”

“You DID start it,” Jsaid.

Daran’s face turned dark at once

“You want to start withnow?”

“And you are jealous and petty,” Jsaid ruthlessly. “I can hang with whoever I want and that is none

of your business. So stop acting like you have a say in my life.”

There was a storm looming in Daran’s eyes. It was such a terrifying gaze that it could easily bring a

normal person down to their knees.

But not Janet. She was no normal person.

She simply gave Daran an icy look before turning on her heels and walking away.

A few moments later, they were all gathered in Veronica’s cell.

Glen was in her cell as well.

They were both shocked to see Daran, Jared, and Jwalk in together.

“What is the matter?”

Glen looked around at the three of them. He seemed on edge.

“Did something happen? Did you change your mind aboutand Veronica?”

Jsoftened her tone and said, “Relax. We didn’t change our mind. And how is Veronica doing? Did

she get her voice back?”

“No…the doctor said that the damage might be permanent. So what is it that you want today?”

Jared looked at Veronica, “Alpha Daran encountered with the Rogue King today. And he said that…the

Rogue King seems to be a woman.

Veronica rounded her eyes.

“If you lied to us, better cclean before it is too late,” Daran said freezingly. Veronica frowned and

waved her hands in the air hastily. She still couldn’t talk, only making strange and ugly noises.

Jhanded her a pad and a pen, “Slow down. Write down what you want to say on the paper.”

Veronica grabbed the pen and wrote down one word hastily in caps:

MAN

And as though that was still not enough to prove her point, she quickly wrote down another sentence

underneath that word:

He was sitting behind a curtain, only a few feet away from me. I heard HIS voice. Loud and clear.

He was sitting behind a curtain, only a few feet away from me. I heard HIS voice. Loud and clear.

Jsighed.

Then she turned to look at Glen, “Have you met the Rogue King in person?”

Glen gulped nervously, “No. I received his orders through Veronica. And I swear that Veronica was

telling the truth! She is counting on you to get her family back. She has got no reason to lie!”

Jshook her head helplessly.

Now it seemed that it was Veronica’s words against Daran’s.

One was a rogue. And the other was an Alpha.

It was pretty easy to decide whom they should trust.

Yet Janet’s gut told her that Veronica was also telling the truth.

“Can you tell us anything about the man you met? Anything will do,” she asked Veronica.

Veronica frowned and thought hard about that. Then slowly, she began to write: I remember telling the

Rogue King that Glen is a Gamma and he e started to laugh…Very joyfully… Then he toldin a brisk

voice that I was a good girl and I fell in love with a great guy.

After a little pause, Veronica continued:

Before I met him, I thought the Rogue King was a cold and grim person…But he wasn’t. He sounded

like a nice person…even with a pleasant personality…

“He was nice to you because he knew that he could use your boyfriend to get to us,” Daran said coldly.

“If you have nothing else to say about the Rogue King besides complementing his pleasant personality,

I think I am done here.”

He turned and walked out of the room.

“Janet.”

Jared stopped Jand said to her in a worried voice, “Can you talk to Daran? I really don’t want what

happened between us to affect his judgment.”

“I will try my best.”

Jgave him a firm nod and left the room behind Daran.

Daran was heading back to his tent. Jfollowed him behind his back. They didn’t say a single word

to each other on the whole.

way.

When they were finally back at his tent alone, Daran turned to face Jwith an expressionless face.

“Do you have anything else to say to me?” he asked, deadpan.

Jtook his coat off and placed it on the table.

“I am here to give you your coat back,” she said.

Daran’s jaw clenched, “Why? Do you prefer his coat instead?”

“No. You two might have forgotten that I am a strong warrior myself. I can stand in the wind without an

extra coat and still won’t catch a cold.”

She walked up to him and brushed the dust from his front.

“You must be exhausted,” she whispered.

Daran lowered his gaze and stared at the bare skin behind her neck. He remembered the impulse of

wanting to sink his fangs into her neck while they were having sex.

And that impulse was coming back to him now.

His wolf was howling inside of his chest, urging him to mark the woman that he loved as his own.

“So what have you been doing while I was gone?” he asked in a strained voice, “Did you spend the

night with Jared again?”

Jchuckled lightly, “For your information, we simply had dinner and talked. Nothing else happened

that night.”

“Really?” Daran asked hoarsely.

Jealousy was eating him alive.

He couldn’t stop thinking about them even when he was on the battlefield facing the Rogue King.

“Really,” Jconfirmed.

She stood on tiptoe and kissed him on his lips.

“And I certainly didn’t do this with him…” she murmured. “So did you miss me?”

His hot breath was on her face and his hands went around her roughly, under her clothes, against her

bare skin.

“I miss you,” he said in a husky voice. “Like crazy.”
