Kidnapped and Rejected The Return of Alpha’s Luna (Janet and Daran) novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179 

Janet looked down at Harper’s dead body

A sweet sense of revenge surged up in her body

This woman had been her nightmare since childhood. Even to this day, she still carries some lashing scars on her back left by Harper

Now, finally, she ended her own nightmare

And it feltso fucking awesome

Janet cupped some snow to rinse off the blood on her blade

Her shoulder was grabbed by a large hand the next second. And her body was spun around forcefully by Daran

Daran looked into her eyes. His face was full of some heavy emotions: shock, anger, and even sorrow… 

It was you?he asked in a trembling voice

Janet looked away from his face and looked down at her own feet, Apparently so.” 

Why did you say anything!” 

Daran raised his voice abruptly, his furious roar echoing through the silent forest: I thought it was Harper! And that is why I treated her so nicely for years! If I knew that it was you, I-” 

You what?” 

Janet let out a snort, You would treat me better? You would hold me dearly as your mate? You would not leave me to the rogues when I was kidnapped?” 

YES!Daran snarled, his eyes bloodshot. But most importantly, II would realize my feelings towards you sooner!” 

Just think about how many years he had wasted

He married and mated with the same person who saved his life, whom he first fell in love with

But he didn’t know about that back then

He even once blamed the Moon Goddess for arranging Janet as his mate when his mate should be Harper, whom he thought was his lifesaver

Yet everything was wrong

Everything was fucked up

His life was ruined by this imposter Harper

If it weren’t for Harper, Janet would still be his Luna. And they would still be in Riverside Pack now, happily married

WhyWhy didn’t you tell mehe asked, slightly choking, feeling a mist of tears in his eyes

Janet rescued her wrist from Daran’s grip, an indifferent look on her face

What you feel is not love.She said coolly, Gratitude? Guilt? Maybe. But definitely not love.” 

Of course it is!” 

NO. It’s not!her gaze became sharp, You said that you loved me in Crimson Fortress. But later on, you still handed me to Harper to have her torture me! I don’t care how jealous you were at the time, that is not how you treat the person you 

ve!! 

Daran’s body became stiff

He stood on his spot as snowflakes continued to fall on his shoulders, shaping him into an ice sculpture

Janet took in a deep breath, You are a cold, possessive, and ruthless man, Daran, someone who lacks the ability to love. We can never be together, even without Harper in the picture.” 

What would it take for you to believe me?Daran asked in a hoarse voice

Janet wanted to tell him that there was no such thing

But then she paused

Harper begged you to spare her life in exchange for her favor to you. I saw you hesitated.Janet stared at him, Then let me offer a similar deal: if you agree to give up on this Werewolf King nonsense, I will reconsider us getting back together. How does that sound?” 

Daran’s breathing became rough. He looked frustrated

Why do you need me to give up so badly?!he hissed through gritted teeth, If I become King, I can better protect you-” 

Janet felt a sudden flash of anger as she shouted back, SHUT UP! Stop using me as an excuse for your own ambition! You are just a powerhungry monster! PERIOD!” 

Janet-” 

And this is exactly what I am talking about!Janet talked over him, You say that you love me, but you always give up upon me for your fucking power! A man like you deserves to die alone on that fucking throne!” 

She held the blade up and pointed at Daran’s chest

The next time I hear you say that you love me- 

Her body, along with her voice, was trembling with rage

-I will slit your throat just like what I did to Harper.” 

A deathly silence fell upon them

They couldn’t hear anything else besides the gushing wind and their own labored breathing

Daran didn’t say anything. He simply stared at the blade that pointed at his chest, his eyes full of sorrow

Good,Janet said, her breath a pale mist in the air. Now let us head back. We still have to deal with Lance.” 

She shifted into her wolf and started running towards the tower

Moments later, she heard the sound of paws from behind

Daran had caught up with her

When they got back to the tower, Morgana and Kass were still trying to get Layla to talk

Morgana walked up to greet them as soon as they came in through the door

Harper?Morgana asked

Dead.Janet said briefly, Any progress with Layla?” 

Morgana shook her head, This woman’s mouth is tight. She refuses to give us any information.” 

Janet frowned

But my soldiers are gathered downstairs. They all take orders directly from me.Morgana said, I can ask them to siege the city and search for Lance street by 

street- 

No, it takes too much time. Lance might get away.” 

Janet walked to Layla and met with her watchful eyes

So here is what is going to happen.

Janet said to her in a freezing voice

If you keep your mouth shut, by the time we find Lance, which will happen sooner or later, we will take our sweet time with killing him. We will pluck his tongue, gouge his eyes, skin him alive. Make sure that he goes through a painful suffering that even makes death seem like a mercy- 

YOU COLD BITCH!Layla roared her eyes slits of rage. You go rot in HELL!!!” 

Janet clamped her jaw and silenced her forcefully

Or, alternatively, you give us his location, and I can guarantee a quick and painless death.Janet said, It is your call.” 

Layla’s chest moved rapidly in rage

You know that your boss is over,Morgana said with her arms crossed in front of her chest. Better let him die with some dignity. Don’t you think so?” 

Layla gritted, But how can I trust you?” 

I give you my word,Janet said solemnly

Layla still looked hesitated. Her eyes traveled to Janet’s back, where Daran was 

standing

You don’t need to look at him. I make the call here,Janet stressed

I stand with Janet on this,said Daran’s deep voice from the back

Layla closed her eyes

After a long pause, she said, shakily, I asked the King to hide himselfWhen I find

way of escaping, I will give 3 long howls to the moon, and he will know it is my signal to him and come out to meet with me.” 

Great.” 

Janet stood up and yanked Layla off the ground, Come with us and lure Lance out. We will give him a painless death, as promised.” 

They escorted Layla down the tower and went to the courtyard together. This place had a large, open area, a perfect spot for ambush

Morgana ordered her soldiers to hide among the fallen walls and ruins before Lance turned up

Shall we include the Lycans in this?Kass asked Janet, I saw Westin and his men wandering around the East Wing.” 

No,Daran said icily without hesitation

I kind of agree with Daran on this one.Morgana shrugged, I don’t feel like sharing our victory with the Lycans.” 

When everyone had hidden properly in the shadows, Janet nodded at Layla

Standing alone in the seemingly empty courtyard, Layla took a deep breath and let out 3 long howls to the moon

Everyone waited in the strained silence, holding their breath, waiting for Lance to show up

After what felt like an eternity, light footsteps came from the distance, gradually approaching

A lean figure emerged from the darkness and stepped into the silver moonlight. Janet’s heart skipped a beat seeing his shadow on the ground

It was Lance

He came

Layla?” 

Lance stopped warily by the courtyard’s entrance and looked around the place

Although the courtyard looked empty to him, the eerie silence still sent a chill down his spine

Yes, it is me, My King,Layla answered

Are you alone?Lance narrowed his eyes, sounding skeptical

No history.
