Kidnapped and Rejected The Return of Alpha’s Luna (Janet and Daran) novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194 

“…I call the shots?” 

Janet lowered her voice. 

She stared right into his eyes, “…You will do whatever I have in mind?” 

His breathing became rough. His gaze was intense. 

“Yes,” he murmured hoarsely, his lips only an inch away from hers. “… Anything.” 

“Well then…‘ 

She placed a hand on his firm chest, feeling his quickened heartbeat. 

“I want us to go into the packhouse now, head upstairs, back to our rooms, get into the bed, and go to sleep.” 

He froze. 

Janet couldn’t help but burst out laughing–the look on his face! 

“It isn’t fair!” he protested, “I want the rein back in my hand! 

“Too late. You already handed that to me. I call the shots here.” she giggled, “And now I am asking you to go to bed like a big boy.” 

He stared at her laughing face. 

“When was the last time he made you laugh like this?” he asked abruptly. 

A smile froze on her lips. 

“…There are happy times,” she said after a pause. 

“You are lying to yourself.” he said deeply, “You know that the only thing he has ever done to you is to hurt you.” 

Janet lapsed into silence. 

“They say that all women enjoy the company of men who can make them laugh. But they always end up with the men who can make them cry. Is it true in your case, Janet?” 

Janet took a deep breath and forced out a smile, “What are you talking about? That is nonsense.” 

“Good.” Westin cupped her cheeks with both of his hands, “Then don’t give him a chance to hurt you anymore. You will have me to protect you in the future.” 

Janet couldn’t look him in the eyes, “…It is really getting late, Westin. Let’s call it a day.” 

“Fine.” 

Westin let go of her, “You go ahead. I will enjoy the wind breeze a little longer.” 

Janet nodded and went into the packhouse. 

Her body was worn out, but her mind was sharp and clear as ever with thoughts whizzing across her mind nonstop. 

She couldn’t help but think about everything that happened that day. 

Casper and Balvina’s wedding, the thieves, Lord Rolf and Lady Priya, the Lycan’s wolf, and Daran…. 

She wondered to the floor where her room was at. 

The bedroom was right down the hallway, but she didn’t want to turn in just yet. 

Instead, she pushed open the glass door and stepped into the terrace. 

It was a beautiful night tonight, with thousands of twinkling stars surrounding a full 

moon. 

Westin was right. 

What she should be doing right now was enjoying this beautiful night with the company of a man who could make her laugh. 

But for some unknown reason, she didn’t want to be with a Lycan tonight. 

Probably because she was intimidated by his wolf earlier. 

Just then, she heard a light creaking noise from downstairs. 

She leaned against the handrail and looked down. 

Right underneath the terrace was a small garden. In that garden stood a swing. 

Right now, there was a dark figure sitting on that swing, which was where the creaking noise came from. 

“…Daran!” Janet couldn’t help but call out to him.. 

The man on the swing looked up abruptly. 

The silver moonlight illuminated his astonished face. 

“Janet!” he gasped, “What are you…” 

She was suddenly in the mood to mess with him. 

“Catch me!” she cried. 

Daran shot up from the swing. And the next second, she had climbed over handrail and fell off from the terrace. 

A pair of steady arms caught her before she crushed to the ground. 

That was thrilling! 

Janet started giggling. 

“That was 6th–floor high!” Daran snapped. His tone was harsh. 

“Yes, but you will catch me. I know you will.” 

He tightened his arms around her waist, “Nevertheless, it is still way too dangerous-” 

the 

She pouted and jumped out of his arms, “Why do you have to be such an old man with no fun? I am leaving.‘ 

She threatened to storm away but secretly hoped that he would stop her. 

And he did. 

He caught her wrist just in time. 

“…Don’t go.” 

His voice was deep and hoarse, “Stay…for a little longer, will you? Do you want to play the swing? I can push you.” 

She smiled and turned to sit on the swing 

He went to stand behind her and gave a gentle push on her back. The swing made a creaking sound in the silent night. 

He spoke up after a while, “…We have a similar swing in Riverside Pack. Under the palm tree in the front yard.” 

“Yes, I asked the servants to build me one after I became Luna.” 

“And what about this one? You had this one built after you came back to Blood Moon Pack?” 

“Yes,” 

She paused, and then said slowly, “When I was your Luna, I would sit on the swing and wait for you to come back from the council chamber. I hoped you could at least spend some time with your wife after a long day of work and we could chat a bit…But you were always in a rush. No time to chat, and definitely no time to hang out and play the swing with me.” 

She looked up at the full moon overhead, “So after I came back to Blood Moon Pack, I asked Casper to build this swing for me, exactly like the one I had in Riverside. And this time, I finally had people to hang out with, maids, soldiers, friends…I was finally 

not alone.” 

He didn’t say anything for a long moment. 

Only his breathing became heavy. 

“…I am losing this, aren’t I?” he asked abruptly. 

She tapped the ground with one foot and halted the swing to a complete stop. She turned on the swing and raised her head to look at him, shocked: 

“What are you talking about?” 

“This fight between me and Westin…I am losing.” 

There was a lost and sad look on his handsome face, “I saw the way you looked at Westin earlier. You are attracted to him. He can make you laugh….And all your friends and families seem to like him a lot…”
