Kidnapped and Rejected The Return of Alpha’s Luna (Janet and Daran) novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49 

“What are you talking about?!‘ 

Daran grabbed Janet’s hand forcefully and snapped, “I paid your ransom! I thought those rogues would let you go, just like they set Harper free!” 

“Stop fu cking lying!” Janet shook him off and growled back, “You only paid Harper’s share! Because you only cared about her! If we weren’t mates, you would marry Harper instead of me, wouldn’t you!” 

She hated Daran for choosing Harper instead of her. 

As her mate and lawful husband, Daran had betrayed her from beginning to end. She 

could never forgive Daran for that. 

But a long time had passed since then. Janet had a family now, a brother who truly cared about her. She didn’t give a damn about Daran anymore. 

Why couldn’t Daran leave her alone?! 

“There must be some misunderstandings between us, Janet.” Daran insisted firmly, “Let’s talk it out. I hate to see us like this.” 

Janet found him unreasonable, “Are you fu cking kidding me now? You never showed 

me the same kind of interest when I was married to you! Why? Because I am the Alpha’s sister now and you suddenly find me much more attractive?!” 

Daran looked indignant, “Is this how you think of me? I have been trying to talk to you ever since you came back! It was you who pushed me out over and over again! Why can’t you just give me a chance!” 

“BECAUSE-!” 

Janet raised her volume. 

She was basically screaming now. 

“BECAUSE you threw away that chance already when you rejected me! If you really care about me that much, why did you reject me! Why abandoned me when I needed you the most!” 

Daran’s face was pale. 

He rejected Janet because he was told by many people–including Harper, Hellen, and many of his pack members–that Janet was not the Luna material. 

Yet now he found out that all those people who he once believed in were not trustworthy. What they said about Janet might also be wrong. 

So was it too late to win back Janet now? 

…No, he wouldn’t accept it. 

It was never too late for him and Janet. 

He was used to getting everything he wanted in life. 

He could MAKE Janet trust him and fall in love with him again. He was certain of that. 

Taking in a deep breath, Daran took a step forward and said to Janet in a hoarse voice, “I know you still hold grudges towards me. So just give me a chance to make 

for what I have done wrong.” 

up 

Yet before Janet could say anything, a voice came from their back yelling: 

“-Gamma Janet!” 

It was Kass. 

He came rushing down the stairs and arrived at Janet’s side slightly out of breath. His eyes darted warily from Daran to Janet and asked, “Gamma Janet, is he bothering you again?” 

Janet answered with a smile, “No, Kass. We were just talking. What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at the party right now?” 

“The party was no fun without you. So I volunteered to drive you back to the hotel. Are you ready to go now?” 

Daran looked at the smile on Janet’s face and felt a sore feeling rising in his chest. 

He could remember Janet smiling to him like that when they were still married, like he was her whole world.. 

But he tossed that away himself. 

Now he could see nothing but hatred and disdain in Janet’s eyes when she looked at him. 

“Of course, let’s go now,” Janet said. 

She walked away with Kass for a few steps and then paused. Looking back beyond her shoulder, Janet said to Daran in a freezing voice: 

“Alpha Daran, I hope this is the last time you bother me with ancient history. I will see you at Harper’s trial.” 

Daran stood on the spot staring at her back as she and Kass walked away. 

A sullen look appeared on his face.

Words spread out fast. 

By the next morning, everyone from nobles to servants had found out about what happened the previous night at the party. 

It was a shocking news really! The youngest daughter of the Diaz family tried to frame Alpha Casper for raping, and it was followed by the astonishing disclosure of Gamma Janet’s real identity! 

People couldn’t shut up about it. For 3 days straight, this was all they could talk about. 

On the third day of the party, an open trial was held in Civic Square. 

According to Riverside Pack’s law, the Alpha and elders would determine Harper’s penalty and the public’s opinion would also be taken into consideration. 

With the first ray of sunlight, people started to pour into the Civic Square. 

By the time Alphas and nobles arrived around 9 a.m., the Civic Square was already clogged with people coming to observe Harper’s trial. 

Harper might be adorned by many young men in the upper class, but she didn’t have 

a good reputation among the commoners. 

Many had heard how she bullied and tortured her maids and servants. People just never had the chance to expose it. 

Everyone was now thrilled to see Harper get punished for what she had done. 

Janet arrived at the Civic Square right after Daran did. That armless maid Angelina was by her side as well. 

There was an exciting look on her face. 

Today was the day she avenged herself. 

With everyone present, it was time for the trail to begin. 

“Let the defendant come up!” said an elder in a booming voice. 

Two guards escorted Harper up to the stage. 

Harper was wearing chains and shackles. Her face was smeared with tears stains and her hairs was a mess. She was still wearing the same gown from the party the other day, but it was all dirty and ragged now.
