Kidnapped and Rejected The Return of Alpha’s Luna (Janet and Daran) novel Chapter 62

Chapter 62 

Janet had to breath deeply to calm herself down. 

“You are doing it again,” she said and tilted her head away. There was a hint of accusation in her voice. 

“Doing what?” 

“Treating me like an innocent little girl and trying to fool me with sweet talks.” Janet struggled out of his arms and said, “You taking a bullet for me…That’s total crap.” 

“Why?” Daran stepped aside and blocked her way of leaving, “You don’t think I can do it?” 

“Well yeah. You are the Alpha…and it makes no sense for you to put your own safety at risk to protect me, another pack’s Gamma-” 

“Who says an Alpha can’t protect his loved one?” Daran asked. 

Words froze on Janet’s lips. 

She was stunned. Shocked by Daran’s “loved one.” 

…What did he mean by that? 

Was he saying that she–Janet–was his loved one?! 

“You are being ridiculous again.” Janet gulped in panic. Her cheek was going red. She was glad that it was so dark right now that Daran couldn’t see it. 

“Janet-” 

Daran seemed that he had something else to say. But before he said anything, Janet turned around abruptly and dashed away. 

She ran all the way back to her car, jumped in and started the engine. As the car fast–forwarded down the countryside road, she finally let out that breathe she had been holding for a long time. 

Her heart was thumping like crazy. She had to clench her grip tightly on the wheel to 

focus on the driving. 

She hated to have her feelings and emotions being manipulated by Daran, which reminded her of her past, when she was crazily in love with Daran and would overthink the meaning of the smallest stuff he did. 

But that was in the past now. 

Right now, she should be focusing on training soldiers and going to war with rogues. 

As for Daran…Well, he could go ahead and hit on any girls he liked. 

Just not on her.

The following week, an explosive news spread across the entire Riverside Pack. 

-Gamma Baron had been charged with corruption, false imprisonment, torture, abuse, and a series of other serious crimes. 

Alpha Daran presented an account book to the elders which detailly documented all 

Alpha Daran presented an account book to the elders, which detailly documented all the dirty trade Baron had been doing. Apparently, 80% of the military budget was pocket by Baron himself. 

And a large group of people from the lumber camp was willing to testify for Baron’s false imprisonment. 

Everyone was shocked, especially those in the army. 

Riverside soldiers all respected Baron’s father very much. Naturally, they reflected some parts of that feeling on Baron, thinking that Baron was a decent guy too. 

This news took a pretty hard strike on these people. 

Janet found many soldiers getting distracted during the recent couple of days. Everyone’s mind was on the Baron case, which had a more profound influence on the public than Harper. 

With Harper, she was an upper–class lady, and the public would love to see her dirty get dug out. But she didn’t have the power to shake things up in the society. 

Yet Baron was the Gamma. Everything about him was tightly associated with the future of Riverside Pack. 

Especially since this was a sensitive time–they were going to war with rogues with 

soon. 

If Baron was taken down, who would become Gamma? And who would lead Riverside’s troops? 

It was natural for soldiers to get anxious. 

On the fourth day after the news was released, Maxie went to talk to Janet during the 

training. 

“How’s it going? How are your families?” Janet asked her. 

A smile came across Maxie’s face at the mention of her family, “They are good. Thanks for asking. My parents might need to get their physical checkup and my brother and sister need to find a new school…but everything is on the right track now.” 

“Glad to hear that,” Janet smiled. “Let me know if you need my help.” 

“Actually, I do right now…And it is about Baron.” 

Maxie showed Janet some text messages. And they were all from Baron during the last couple of days. 

His tone in some earlier texts were nasty as ever. 

[You bitch… You gave the account book to Baron, didn’t you!] 

[Your families were so dead! Prepare to receive body parts of your families!] 

And then he gradually started to panic. 

[How did you get your families out? Did you ask Janet to help you?!] 

[Are you working with them right now?] 

[We should be a team, Maxie! Wake up already!] 

Then he practically started begging in the messages he sent to Maxie this morning. 

[Please come and talk to me Maxie.] 

[We can work this out.]
