Kidnapped and Rejected – The Return of Alpha’s Luna by Moon Claw

Chapter 248

Janet couldn’t believe what she was seeing with her own eyes.

…Daran?

How did Daran get in here?! She thought that there was no way the either of them could pass that

misted forest!

And why didn’t he bring more soldiers? He was here alone, how dangerous!

And Westin…It seemed that Westin knew Daran was coming. Did Westin invite him? No, how was that

possible. Westin did everything he could to keep them apart…

A thousand of thoughts whizzed across her head, freezing her on the spot.

“Werewolf!”

An elder jumped up from his seat and bared his fangs, “What the hell is a werewolf doing here!”

“The Werewolf King!” somebody snarled, “How did he cross the forest? Why the hell weren’t we

alerted? Guards? Guards!”

The once calm venue had erupted into a chaos of panic and horror.

“Calm down, my people!”

Westin raised one hand, gesturing the crowd to relax, “I invited King Daran.”

“Unbelievable!” Elder Medline stood up abruptly and snarled, “A werewolf on our sacred land-”

“We have always talked about co–existing with the werewolf. So let today be a start. And King Daran

means no harm. He is simply here to offer his best wishes to me and

my Queen. Aren’t you, King Daran?”

Yet Daran didn’t say anything.

He kept his eyes on Janet, his fists tightly clenched by his sides.

Janet suddenly picked up her skirt and was about to run down the aisle.

“Relax. I invited him. So I am going to let you talk to him,” Westin said, unsmiling. “But remember that

you are already my wife now. Go to him, get a closure, and return to my side, which I trust you will.”

Janet shook off his hand and rushed hastily down petal path.

Her heart was thumping like a drumroll against her ribs.

Daran was here!

The man that she truly loved…The father of her child!

Was he here to take her away?

Please! Let him take her away!

Yet before she could reach the end of that petal path, Daran turned on his heels and walked away in

long strides.

Janet panicked.

No.

Why did he leave?

“-Daran!” she screamed.

She tripped on her long skirt and then stumbled up and kept running.

She caught up with him near the mountain road.

“Daran…Daran!” she grabbed his hand from the back, crying, “STOP!”

He was forced into a sharp halt.

Turning around, he glared at her with anger–filled eyes, “Why bother chasing after me?”

Janet was stunned.

Did he even need to ask?

“You are here! So take me away. That wedding wasn’t real and I–I have been waiting for you all these

time-”

“LIE!”

He snapped. A vein was pulsing with rage on his forehead.

“I saw you married him, Janet!” his voice was shaking, “You…you let him kiss you and call you his

Queen…No one pointed a gun against your head! You did it willingly! You were smiling to him! And I

heard it as well…The child.”

Janet’s heart skipped a beat.

Daran’s voice was full of sorrow and hatred, “I am so fucking stupid. All these time when I have been

desperately trying to look for you…. You are already having a child with him! Fuck! If that is the case,

why bother chasing after me?!”

NO!

He got it all wrong!

The child is yours.

She opened her mouth, yet no sound came out.

It was like those words vanished on the tip of her tongue, or a giant hand had seized. her throat,

stopping her from telling the truth.

Janet held her breath in horror.

What was going on? Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

She tried again, “The father of my child is…”

You.

Yet again.

Her voice stopped abruptly.

What the hell… Why couldn’t she say it!!!

“I know. The father of your child is Westin,” Daran let out a cold, broken laugh. “If you have made up

your mind to be with him, why did you have sex with me in the vineyard? Why misled me? Was that a

fucking pity sex?”

No. NO!

Goddamn it.

Why couldn’t she say those words?

Was there something wrong with her tongue?!

ng with her tongue?!

Just then, something struck Janet.

She remembered the swear that she made in the hospital room to Westin.

…I swear in the name of the Moon Goddess that I will never disclose this secret to another living soul…

If I ever break this oath, punish me at the Moon Goddess’s will…

The swear.

She didn’t know the consequence that bore with it back then.

Now she knew.

Bound by that oath, she was physically forbidden to disclose that secrete.

It was her own doing.

Desperate tears streamed down Janet’s cheeks as she choked, “D–Daran…God…Please trust me…”

“Trust you what?”

He took a trembling step back, swaying. His eyes were misty as well.

“I should have left when I found out that you recognized the mate bond. But I didn’t…I didn’t want to

give up. And here I am now, proving what a huge idiot I really am,” he said with a bitter laugh.

She shook her head, crying, “No…No!”

“I know you have always wanted to punish me for rejecting you. And now you have

“NO!” She screamed, clasping his arm with both her hands. “It is not what you think! I love you! You are

the one-

“ENOUGH!”

He shook her off and backed away urgently.

“Stop misleading me and playing me around!” he snapped, eyes round with anger and teais. “Go back

to Westin. Be your Queen! And never…ever! Show up in my life. again.”

She sank to the cold ground, into her wedding gown, crying, heartbroken.

He took another step back, his chest heaving.

“Goodbye, Janet.” he said, trembling. “From now on you are my enemy. May we never meet again.”

He turned decisively and marched down the mountain road.

She was left there, weeping her heart out.

The fate was so cruel to her.

If she had known that they would meet again one day, she would have never made

that oath.

Yet there was no turning back.

Everything was too late.

Approaching footsteps came from her back.

A large hand lifted her face up and gently wiped her tears away.

“You are crying for him again,” Westin said with a sigh.

She glared at him with tear–blurred eyes, “You…You did this to me…”

Janet was beyond anger right now.

Her feelings were numb.

“…You took away everything from me,” she murmured.

Her family. Her lover. Her soldiers. Her people.

She was trapped here, in his arms, forever.

“No.”

He kissed her cold lips gently, “You still have me. My love. My heart.”

Janet didn’t show up at the dinner party after the ceremony.

She went back to the castle and locked herself up in her own room, refusing anyone

to enter.

For the past few months, she rarely left her room a single sten, as though she had

lost interests in everything in life.

The Lycans were not happy with her childish behavior.

They expected their Queen to rule, to help with the in–castle business, and to pitch–in at meetings.

Yet no one could even see the Queen these days. She disappeared from the public’s eyes ever since

the wedding.

A few elders voiced their discontent.

Yet Westin strongly forbade anyone to bother the Queen.

“The Queen needs rest. I won’t force her to do anything. And none of you will either,” he said sternly

one time

Janet didn’t know that rumors about her had gone crazy outside.

If she did know, she wouldn’t care.

Her belly was growing, which was the only thing she looked forward to now.

Sometimes late at night, she laid on her bed alone, thinking about her child. Would it be a boy? Or a

girl?

Would it look like her? Or Daran?

Janet hoped the child would look like Daran. But she was also afraid if it actually happened.

If her child looked like Daran…Just imagine what the elders would say.

Living in a mixed of anticipation and fear, 5 months had passed.

Janet knew she was going to face her first challenge.

It had already passed the Lycan’s due day, Elder Medline had sent maids to check on her every day

since last week.

And Medline demanded to see her today that she couldn’t refuse.

But she was not ready to go into labor yet.
