Kidnapped and Rejected The Return of Alpha’s Luna by Moon Claw Chapter 93

Chapter 93

Harper left the smith shop in a trance and wandered back to her own tent.

She didn’t even go back to the makeshift market as she should.

She needed time to think about Lance’s proposal.

Working with a rogue.

That sounded…outrageous!

Harper knew that she was not the nicest person in the world. Yet the worst thing that

she had ever done was expelling a maid or framing somebody behind their backs.

Those were minor deals.

But this….this was treason.

She spent her whole life in the Riverside Pack, listening to all kinds of horrible stories about the rogues growing up. She never questioned for a single second that those barbarians were her enemy.

Until today.

Until she found out that her destinated mate was her enemy.

Harper felt that her whole world just crashed down around her.

And that Lance…

He said that he would help her. But how? He could hardly protect himself from the soldiers. How could he help her regain her former glory?

And most importantly, could Lance be trusted?

Harper spent the rest of the day and a whole night pondering on those questions. When the light broke out from the horizon, she still hadn’t reached a conclusion. And she knew that she couldn’t skip another day of work. Or Angelina would get suspicious.

After freshening up, Harper went to the makeshift market with a heavy heart. She didn’t want to face Angelina today, afraid that Angelina might interrogate her about her absence yesterday. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNøvᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Yet she bumped into someone that she was even more afraid of at first.

Janet.

Janet was helping a vendor stack the shelves when she walked in. Harper immediately turned her back to Janet and walked hastily down another path. But Janet called to her before she could get away, “Hey Harper!”

Harper froze on her spot.

Slowly, she turned around to face Janet in a stiff movement.

“Do

you need me for something, Gamma Janet?” Harper forced out a dry smile. “Where were you yesterday?” Janet asked, giving her a searching look.

“I was here. In the market.”

“But where have you been after Angelina sent you to the warehouse?” Janet pursued. “We waited for you for a long time. But you never came back.”

Harper clenched her fists behind her back.

She hated to be questioned by Janet like that. If she could, she wanted to jump on Janet, pulled her f u cking hair, scratched her condescending face, and ripped her f ucking mouth apart.

But she couldn’t.

She could only pretend to be humble and come up with a lie.

“I-I wasn’t feeling so well,” Harper said weakly. “So I went back to my tent and laid down.

Janet narrowed her eyes, “Is that so? But how come I saw you outside of the smith shop? Lance is not a doctor. Why did you go to him?”

Harper blinked with an innocent face, “I didn’t go to the blacksmith. I simply took at detour and walked past his shop on my way back. Is there anything wrong with it?” They stared at each other for a long moment.

Harper’s back was covered in cold sweat.

“I hope that you are not up to anything bad, Harper,” Janet said eventually. “Of course not. Why would you say that?”

“No reason. Just a simple head up. You are doing great work so far. Angelina was convinced that you had changed. So don’t give me a reason to think otherwise, OK?”

Harper’s heart was filled with humiliation at that moment.

This

f ucking woman used to be her puppet, her punch bag, her slave. When they were little, Janet didn’t dare to make a f ucking sound when she slapped her across. her face.

Yet here Janet stood, all mighty and condescending, giving her a hard time.

In that split of a second, Harper made a decision.

She would work with Lance.

F uck the alliance. And f uck the enemy!

Her only enemy was Janet and Janet only! She would give anything to take Janet down. Even if it meant that she would have to work with the devil!

“You can count on me, Gamma Janet.”

Harper looked at Janet with a sweet smile, hiding all her dark thoughts behind that smile.

“I promise. I will be on my best behavior.”

Janet’s eyes were in slits. There was still a hint of suspicion on her face.

Yet just then, a horn broke out from the distance.

“Alpha Daran is back!” somebody shouted.

Janet jerked around and looked outside. Her eyes were suddenly gleaming with joy.

“Alpha Daran is back!” somebody shouted.

Janet jerked around and looked outside. Her eyes were suddenly gleaming with joy.

“Talk to you later,” Janet said to Harper and left the market in a hurry.

Harper gazed at Janet’s back coldly as she walked away.

Good. Janet didn’t notice anything.

Now, she just needed to find a way to prove herself valuable to Lance.

When Janet arrived at the North Gate, there was already a crowd gathered to welcome the Alpha back.

And Daran just got out of his car.

Dust and dirt clung to his hair and face. There was even dark blood on his clothes, which meant that he had just been through a brutal battle.

Despite his resolute posture, there was a hint of weariness in his eyes.

Their eyes found each other across the hectic crowd. Daran’s face was immediately lit up with joy.

Janet’s heart swelled.

They were fighting about some nonsense before Daran left. But all that nonsense seemed stupid now.

All that mattered now was that he had returned, safe and sound.

Janet wanted to walk up to Daran and talk to him, telling him that she had missed him. Yet before she could make a move, a jacket landed on her shoulders.

Janet turned around and found Jared standing by her side.

Jared gave her a smile and said, “It is windy. You should put on more clothes.”

“Umm…thanks.”

Janet grabbed his jacket and was reluctant about whether she should accept his kind gesture. She didn’t want to give anyone the wrong impression, especially Daran. “That is very nice of you, Alpha Jared,” said a grim voice from behind them. “But Gamma Janet won’t be needing your clothes.”

Daran walked up to them. He ripped Jared’s jacket off Janet’s shoulder and tossed it to the ground.

“Daran!” Janet hissed.

That was rude. She didn’t want to see them fight anymore.

Daran gave her a dark look. There was a warning in his eyes.

Then he took off his own coat and wrapped it around Janet’s body.

“There,” Daran said in an arrogant voice. “Much better.”

His coat still carried the smell of dust and blood. Yet Janet found herself loving it. Besides the dust and blood, she could also smell Daran’s scent.

“Was that really necessary, Alpha Daran?” Jared asked coldly with his arms crossed in front of his chest. “I was just trying to be nice.”

“Was that really necessary, Alpha Daran?” Jared asked coldly with his arms crossed in front of his chest. “I was just trying to be nice.”

Daran gave him a grim look.

“Janet is not a member of your pack. And certainly not your mate. So I don’t need you to be the good guy here. And speaking of which…I have something to ask you.”

“What?” Jared huffed.

“I encountered with the Rogue King yesterday,” Daran said.

An astonished gasp could be heard from the crowd. Everyone was astonished, including Janet.

“What? How?” she asked urgently, “I thought the Rogue King was still in the Great Canyon.”

‘I went after those fled rogues and bumped right into the Rogue King. He was coming to rescue his own men back…Or should I say ‘She.””

Janet widened her eyes in shock.

She?

…The Rogue King was a woman?

But Veronica clearly said the opposite!

“Even with a mask and a cloak, I can still tell from her figure that the Rogue King is a woman.”

Daran narrowed his eyes at Jared with danger looming within them.

“I only pardoned Glen and Veronica because they offered to help us. So Alpha Jared, would you care to explain why your pack member just plainly lied to our face?”
