Kidnapped and Rejected The Return of Alpha’s Luna (Janet and Daran) novel Chapter 207

Chapter 207 

Janet balled her fists

Westin proposed to Agnes before

Yet he kept telling her that Agnes was not his loved one

What a liar

Agnes chided gently, Don’t say that, Kalinda. Westin never proposed to me.” 

But he wanted to, apparently. If the elders hadn’t forced him to marry a werewolf, he would definitely propose to you.

No, he won’t.Agnes said in a flat voice, Keavy was his best friend. Even thought Keavy was dead for a long time, Westin still respected him too much to do that.” 

Janet rubbed her chin

The relationship between Westin and Agnes seemed even more complicated than she thought

She remembered Westin telling her once that Agnes was mated already.. 

Now it sounded that Agnes’s mate was this man named Keavy, who was the best friend of Westin

But he was dead already

Honestly, Agnes, haven’t you considered remarrying?that Issa girl asked, How many years have it been since Keavy-” 

Agnes sighed, 5 years.” 

Yet you are at the prime of your years! You can’t waste it. Just whisper to us. If you want that lowborn werewolf gone, there are many ways to make that happenJanet let out a cold laugh

She wrenched the door open and marched into the room

Soft, ambient light bathed the room, filtering through heavy velvet curtains that framed tall windows

A grand piano occupied a corner, its dark wood gleaming under the glow of an ornate chandelier

In the center of the room stood a coffee table. Set on top were carefully curated art books, delicate porcelain figurines, and a vase of fresh flowers

Plush armchairs and sofas, upholstered in a soft fabric that invited touch, surrounded that coffee table

Agnes and her chaperons were sitting in the armchairs and sofas right now

Kalinda straightened her back the second Janet stepped in. She looked tensed

You should knock! Where is your-she hissed

My curtsey? You already knew that I have none,Janet chuckled icily. And are you atraid of me hearing anything?” 

Kalinda huffed, I am not afraid of anything! I can say that to your face: You are the third woman in Agnes and the King’s relationship!” 

Kalinda!Agnes cried in fume

Janet raised an eyebrow, looking at Agnes

Keavy is your husband?she asked Agnes

Agnes bit her lips, a sad look on her face

She took off a locket from her neck and handed it to Janet, My mate, my husband, at proud soldier of Shadow House, and also….the King’s best friend.” 

Janet opened the locket

There was a picture inside, of Westin, Keavy, and Agnes. They were all grinning 

brightly at the camera

How did he die?Janet asked quietly

Kalinda growled. Hey!” 

That is alright. I don’t mind.Agnes shook her head, tears forming in her eyes

He died of food poisoning. A borrible tragedy. He is the only man I ever 

lovedYes, the King and I grew up together. I won’t deny that we are close. But there 

is nothing romantic between us. I swear, Lady Janet.” 

Janet stared at her, pondering 

Agnes’s expression looked sincere

But food poisoning

Janet couldn’t help but found that odd. And a bit too convenient

Maybe there was something more that she had yet to discover

Are you ready to begin your training?” Agnes asked 

Sure,Janet said, handing the locket back to her

Now was not a good time to dig too deep into Agnes’s dirt. She had plenty of time afterward

Great,Agnes beamed

She invited Janet to sit with them by the coffee table and began the lecture

She started off with dining etiquette

A lady should always sit upright with proper posture at the dining table. Avoid slouching or leaning too far back 

Agnes even asked the maid to place a needle on the cushion behind Janet’s back. If Janet got sloppy and leaned back at any time, that needle would prick her

She asked Janet to stay in that posture for at least 20 minutes

All the girls were staring at Janet, waiting to taunt her when she got pricked by a needle

Yet 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and then 30 minutes had passed

Janet still held her posture elegantly, without any sign of getting tired

The girls were disappointed

Even Agnes found that amazing

Have you had any lady’s training before?she asked

Janet shrugged, No. But I have had military training. I can stay in the bush perfectly 

still for more than a day waiting to snipe an enemy.” 

The girlsfaces changed, looking afraid

They all knew that Janet was a Gamma

Although they were all Lycans, they had never held a sword in their entire lives, let alone getting blood on their hands. Unlike Janet

Agnes gulped, nervously, ThatThat is great. Well, shall we practice walking? Since 

you already mastered dining etiquette.” 

They all stood up and lined up by the wall

Agnes demonstrated how an upperclass Lycan lady walked

Each step should be taken with a measured and graceful gait. Head held high, with shoulders back. No slouching or dragging feet

The most important part was walking in a perfectly straight line

Agnes had the servants bring in a balance beam, like the one used in gymnastics

She asked Janet to change into her high heels and walked from one end to another on the beam

Janet frowned this time

She was not very good with high heels

Is that really necessary?she asked, I know how to walk.” 

Kalinda had been waiting to insult Janet. She immediately raised her voice and cried, But you walk like a peasant! No man will want to dance with you at the ball if you don’t work on this.” 

Janet rolled her eyes

She picked up her skirt and stepped onto the balance beam

She made a step. Her body swayed at once. Yet she regained her balance at once. She took another small step, looking carefully at her feet- 

BANG

A sharp pain came from her back 

Keep your back straight and shoulders back,Agnes said, holding a wooden stick. Janet glared at her, Do not hit me again.” 

Agnes blinked, innocently, My apology. I just want to fastforward your learning process-” 

Is this how you did your lady’s training?Janet asked icily, With people hitting you constantly?” 

Agnes smiled, No. But we are Lycans. We are born with grace. And I thought you have a thicker skin as a soldier than the rest of us and you can handle a few minor slapsOr was I wrong?” 

The girls snickered

Janet took a deep breath, ignored her, and continued walking 

She didn’t make it to 3 steps far before sensing another lashing coming her way. Janet turned abruptly and seized the stick just in time

I said-” 

Janet stared at Agnes’s horrorstricken face and hissed
