Kidnapped and Rejected The Return of Alpha’s Luna (Janet and Daran) novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69 

“Now? Have they arrived at the border already?” Daran snapped. 

“No, not the border.“. 

The guard looked horrified. 

“They attacked Fox Town earlier this evening, which is only about 50 miles from here! The whole village was burnt down to the ground…Alpha, you have got to come and take a look!” 

Janet widened her eyes in shock. 

…How was this even possible? 

How did the rouges cross the border without anyone noticing and come this far into their territory? 

Most importantly, the timing was super suspicious. 

They were just about to send out their advance force to the border. Yet the rogues acted before they did and ambushed their village first. 

Did the rogues know where they planned to deploy troops? 

…Had anyone been feeding information to the rogues? 

That thought sent a chill down Janet’s spine. 

“Janet!” 

Daran cried and snapped Janet back to reality. 

“I need to go down to the Fox Town immediately,” he said. 

“I am coming with you!” Janet hissed. 

Daran frowned. He dashed out of the office with Janet following on his heels. When they reached the ground floor, Daran said to her hastily, “Gather your best men and meet me at Fox Town. Be careful!” 

“You too.” 

Janet hurried down the stairs and rushed into the night. 

She called Balvina first, asking her to assemble their soldiers. Balvina sounded sleepy at first. But she jerked wide awake when Janet told her what happened. 

“Rogues at Fox Town?! Tonight?” she cried with the rustling sound of clothes in her background. She was getting dressed at the same time, “But how is this possible- 

“It baffles me too.” 

Janet ran across the empty training field and arrived at the warehouse, wrenching the door open. She put the phone between her face and her shoulder and started grabbing weapons. 

“Listen to me. Gather a team and meet me at the north gate in 5 minutes. We are coming with Alpha Daran to Fox Town. Be quick!” 

“You got it!” Balvina hung up the phone. 

Janet gathered enough supplies for a team of 10 and rushed back out. When she made it to the outside of the training field, she bumped right into someone coming her way. 

It was Glen. 

“Janet!” he gasped astonishedly, “I just came back from the bar and saw the warehouse’s light was on…What happened?!” 

“The rogues attacked us. In Fox Town.” Janet said hastily. 

“WHAT? How did 

“I don’t have time to explain! Just tell Steven and Jeff about this. And come with us if you will!” Janet cried and rushed away. 

Balvina and the team arrived at the North Gate at the same time as Janet. They each grabbed a weapon, shifted into wolves, and started heading toward Fox Town. 

Janet’s heart was pounding wildly as she dashed across the dark forest with her soldiers. Her heart was filled with worries and anxiety. 

A small part of her kept hoping that this wasn’t real. That rogues didn’t just sneak up to them and attack their village. And that everything was simply a mixed–up… 

-Till she smelt the burning smell in the air. 

“Gamma Janet! Look!” Kass gasped behind her back. 

Janet didn’t need him to remind her of what was happening in the distance it was quite hard to miss. 

Flames could be seen rising through the top of the forest, painting the dark sky into scarlet red. They could already hear the sound of people screaming, wolves howling and houses crashing down in fire. 

The temperature kept rising as they approached. When they finally arrived, the place had already turned into a hell of heat and blazing fire. 

Hard to recognize that this place used to be a small and peaceful village. 

“Gamma, what do we do?” Balvina gasped. 

“You take 5 people to put down the fire and rescue the injured,” Janet said urgently. “The rest come with me. Look for any signs of the rogues!” 

“Yes!” 

They split up. 

Janet rushed down the road with her eyes searching for suspicious figures. But anywhere she looked, she saw nothing but ruins and ashes. 

It was like the rogues had vanished in thin air. 

“Gamma!” Kass called right behind her, “There is someone in that house!” 

The roof of the house had fallen down because of the fire. And weak groans were coming out of the ruins. 

Janet came to help Kass. Together they lifted the roof and pulled a man out of it. “Sir! Can you hear me?” Janet knelt down by his side and asked, “Where are the rogues? Have you seen them?” 

But the man seemed traumatized. He covered his face and kept screaming in fear, “Don’t…No–Please don’t kill me–I am begging you!” 

“It’s OK. You are safe now. Just tell me where the rogues are…” 

“I–I don’t know! Stop torturing me! Please I am begging you!” the men wailed hysterically. 

Janet sighed and said to one of his soldiers, “Take him to Balvina. Treat his wounds and keep him safe.” 

The soldier nodded and carried the man away. 

Janet and Kass continued their searches. One by one, they rescued nearly 20 people from the fire, but none of them could tell where exactly the rogues were. 

These people were either scared as hell or injured too severely to say anything. 

As frustrated as Janet was, she couldn’t blame them. 

These people spent their whole lives living in a peaceful small town, which was not. far away from the packhouse. 

Who would have thought the rogues would attack a place like this? 

A while later, Glen and his men arrived. 

“Janet!” he cried running towards her, “Any sign of the rogues?” 

“Not yet. These bastards vanished in thin air!” Janet snarled. 

“F**k. What do we do then? Shall we draw back? The wind tonight is helping with the fire. Maybe we should focus on treating the injured first!” 

Janet hesitated, clenching her fists in frustration. 

She knew that Glen was probably right. 

But she didn’t want to give up looking for rogues just yet. 

There were too many questions piling up in her mind. Like how did the rouges cross the border’s lookout post? How did they pick this perfect timing? And how did they know the way so well and evacuate just in time?
