Kidnapped and Rejected The Return of Alpha’s Luna (Janet and Daran) novel Chapter 190

Chapter 190 

Janet was confused as well. 

What Daran had in his palm made no sense to her. 

It was a cup of dirt. 

“How is some dirt going to find us locate the bandits?” Westin crossed his arms with a smirk on his face. “I have got to say–this is not a very smart way to get Janet’s 

attention.” 

“Hey.” 

Janet elbowed him, “No trash talk. Remember?” 

Westin put his hands up in the air, “Sorry. Didn’t mean it.” 

“That is strike one.” Janet warned him and then turned back to Daran, “What is wrong with this dirt?” 

Daran didn’t seem to be affected by Westin’s sarcasm. 

He raised his hand a bit higher for the others to take a clearer look and explained, “This dirt is not from this area. Take a look at your surroundings. The forest only has moist black soil and a finely textured loam. Yet the stuff that I have in my hand is different. It is sandier and rougher and if you look closely, it has a scarlet color to 

it.‘ 

Janet felt the dirt in his hand with two fingers. 

Daran was right. 

This dirt was not from this area. 

“So you are suggesting that-” 

“This sandy dirt was carried here by the criminals underneath their shoes. All we 

need to is to see if any 

nearby places have this lonte se asier son 

will know where these criminals have been to.” 

A round of astonished gasps could be heard. 

All the soldiers were looking at Daran in awe. 

soil. Then 

“Captain, do we know if any places have this scarlet soil?” Janet asked. 

The captain scratched his head, contemplating. 

One of the soldiers spoke up at this moment, “I know! There are a few acres of red land in Lord Rolf’s land. And it is not very far from here. Just a couple of miles down south!” 

Janet’s eyes darkened slightly. 

…Lord Rolf? 

She knew that man. 

He was invited to the party tonight as one of the most respected elders. 

Even Casper looked up to this man. He assisted Casper in stabilizing the Blood Moon Pack when Casper first became Alpha. 

Janet even heard rumors that Rolf wanted to marry his daughter to Casper. 

But that didn’t work out because Casper made it clear that he was not ready to settle down. 

Could Lord Rolf be behind all these? 

“Could you lead the way?” Janet asked the soldiers.. 

“Certainly. Follow me!” 

They got back to their cars and rushed to Lord Rolf’s land. 

Lord Rolf’s residence was located in the middle of a large open field. 

The lone mansion stood on its own, a stark contrast to the vast openness that surrounded it. 

As their cars drove deep into the open field, heading straight towards the mansion, Janet saw the color of the soil gradually turning red, exactly like the kind that Daran found in the woods. 

Minutes later, they reached the front door of the mansion. 

A wrought–iron gate guarded the entrance, creaking softly in the night wind. 

Janet got out of the car and came forward to buzz the doorbell. 

Westin was right behind her. 

While they waited for somebody to get the door, he bent down and whispered into Janet’s ear: 

“…Can’t we just bust inside?” 

Janet shook her head, “No. Lord Rolf is a friend of Casper. I don’t want to heat things. 

up until we have more proofs.” 

A series of light footsteps came from the inside. 

A middle–aged man emerged from the darkness, looking like a butler or house staff. 

He opened the iron gate a crack and peeked outside, warily. 

“Who are you?” he asked. 

“I am Janet Manning, Alpha Casper’s sister, and Gamma,” Janet introduced herself. “We are here because of a crime that happened nearby. Can you open the door please?” 

The butler gulped, looking nervous, “W–What for?” 

“We want to search your house. Don’t worry. It will be quick.” 

“Why do you want to search our house? We know nothing about this crime that you talk about!” the butler said in a strained voice, “Just go!” 

“I said it would be quick. Please don’t make this difficult,” Janet warned. 

Yet the butler stood firmly behind the gate, “No. You can’t barge in like this and search our house. Our lord isn’t home at the moment. You will startle our lady. Our lady is a delicate girl. She doesn’t like strangers.” 

Janet took a deep breath. 

They could easily bust down this iron gate if they wanted. 

But she didn’t know if Lord Rolf was behind this. Forcing their way in would be rude and disrespectful. 

“Then have you seen anyone suspicious tonight? Sneaking around your house?” she asked again. 

“No. Everything is normal around here.” 

“No. Everything is normal around here.” 

This investigation seemed to reach a dead end. 

Janet hesitated, thinking whether she should call Casper first and ask for his permission to barge into this house. 

Westin spoke up abruptly, “He is lying.” 

A hint of paníc flickered across the butler’s eyes, “What?” 

Westin sniffed the air and raised one brow, “They are here. I smelled the same scent. here as in the woods. It is pretty strong. They must have just gone in a couple of minutes ago.” 

Janet rounded her eyes, 

shocked. 

She didn’t smell anything! 

The Lycans must have an even stranger sense of smell than they did. 

“NONSENSE!” 

The butler snapped. 

“I told you! I didn’t see anyone!” 

“Well, there is one way to find out then,” Westin shrugged. 

He grabbed the iron gate and gave it one hard push!
