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

Chapter 254

Blood streamed down from the corner of Daran’s mouth.

He touched his ripped lips with one hand.

His face darkened.

The crowd was so astonished by Casper’s bold behavior that one of the guests gasped:

“Alpha Casper! That That is the King for Moon Goddess’s sake.

Daran was their King now, in procession of a superior power.

If Daran was pissed and decided to take it back on the Blood Moon Pack, none of them could stop him!

Yet Casper didn’t look afraid.

He stood there with his fists tightly clenched and snapped, “So what if he is the King? I am not anyone

disturbing my daughter’s birthday party! And I certainly will not endure his fucking madness!”

The crowd winced in silence.

None of the others had the gut as Casper did.

“What are you all doing here?” Casper looked around the bystanders with an icy face, “There is cake

and wine at the other side of the hall.”

The crowd got his hint and hastily scattered away.

Casper waited for everyone to leave and walked up to Daran, offering him a hand. After a little

hesitation, Daran took that hand and straightened his back.

“You are fucked. You know that?” Casper said in a harsh tone.

Daran let out a snort, looking scornful.

“The entire room of people just saw you throw an innocent man at the wall for absolutely no reason at

all-

“He was fucking talking about my business-”

“There are a lot of people on this planet talking about your business, Daran! God, the way you have

been behaving yourself, do you honestly expect people to not notice it and not to talk about it?” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Daran’s chest heaved. “What the fuck are you talking.

Daran’s chest heaved, “What the fuck are you talking-”

“Agitated, fretful, cranky, violent…Shall I go on?” Casper said icily, “You are crowned as the King.

People expect you to rule. But how can they trust you if you keep on acting like that? A mad person?”

Daran put a shaky hand over his eyes.

After a long pause, he spoke up in a hoarse, broken voice, “I don’t know Casper…I seriously don’t

know…I only wanted this kingship before because it could help me get Janet back. But now, it is only a

burden for me.”

“I know, man. I get it.”

Casper patted his shoulder, “You are not the only one who is in pain here. Fuck I lost my own sister!

But Janet made her choice. We have to respect that…and move on.”

He stopped there, hesitating, and asked Daran after a little pause:

“Have you considered naming a Queen?”

“…What?” Daran raised his head up, frowning.

Casper let out a sigh, “I know that the elders in your pack have been discussing it. They believe that a

Queen can help you patch up the pain and get back on the right track. Since none of them have the gut

to bring it up to you, they sent me to do the talking-”

“It is not their fucking business,” Daran gritted.

“Come one. They are only looking out for you. New love can heal wounds faster than you think. And I

am not saying that Janet is replaceable-”

“You shouldn’t. Because she is not.”

Daran turned his back on Casper and said, “I am leaving.”

“Wait!”

Casper chased him up a few steps, “I am not done talking here–You haven’t even seen my daughter

yet!”

But Daran had already walked through the crowd and disappeared behind the doors.

Originally, he planned to spend at least one night in Blood Moon Pack, to meet with Balvina and her

newborn and offer his congratulations to the happy couple.

Yet he couldn’t stay there for another second now.

It was sad to admit to it…but other people’s happiness just reminded him of the darkness he was

currently in.

Daran shifted into his wolf and ran at his full speed, heading back to the Riverside Pack.

He dashed through the woods, across the plain, down the mountains, bathed under the silver

moonlight.

He hoped that a good run could help him shake off those pains.

But it didn’t.

It only intensified the pain.

He arrived at Riverside Pack’s packhouse a little after dawn.

He walked into his room, still slightly out of breath, and found that there was somebody in his room.

A Woinan

To be more precise, a half–naked woman.

She was on his bed, checking out a picture that he picked on his nightstand, a picture of him and Janet

when he walked in.

She heard the footsteps and jerked around, eyes round with shock.

“M

My King!” she straightened her back, panicked, “They told me that you wouldn’t be back till tomorrow”

He stepped out of the shadow, his cold eyes fixed upon her..

“Who said you can come in here?” he asked in a croaky voice.

The woman swallowed, apparently worried, but she plucked up the courage to face this seemingly

dangerous man.

“The elders asked me to come…”

She knelt on the bed, taking her hands to loosen her nightrobe.

The nightrobe slid off from her delicate shoulders, revealing her smooth skin and plump breasts.

“They said that…you need someone to keep you warm at night,” she breathed.

She was very beautiful, with an attractive body and curves.

But Daran didn’t take a single glance at her before hissing: “Out”

“But my king…”

Daran bared his fangs, which gleamed coldly in the moonlight.

“Don’t make me tear your fucking throat apart,” he growled. “OUT!”

The woman was frightened.

She quickly jumped off the bed and hurried towards the door.

Before walking out, she turned around and looked at him once more, a reluctant look on her pretty

face.

“Are you still in love with her? With Princess Janet?” she asked, stubbornly. “Because everyone in this

world knows that she ditched you for another man. You can do so much better than her. You will be a

fool if you let yourself keep thinking-”

A sharp blade went at the woman’s face before she could finish.

She screamed and stumbled back in horror, but her back was against the wall- “NO DON’T-”

The blade stopped half an inch from her throat.

Daran, still holding that blade in his hand, looked down at the woman’s

scared–looking face

“I am not still in love with her. She has made herself my enemy. So you can tell those nosy elders that ”

he sneered. “And pass on another message for me: you are a lucky one. But I will slit the throat of the

next woman they send to me. Got it?”

The woman nodded hastily.

‘Now fuck off.”

She didn’t waste a single second before dashing out of his room

Daran paced back to his nightstand and picked up the picture of him and Janet.

He studied that picture in the darkness for a long time.

Then he tossed it into the trash with a cold face.

Those people…they were right about one thing:

Janet would never come back.

He hated her, so much, for that.

May they never meet again in this life.

And if they did-

He would avenge what she did to him, with his own hand.

8 years later.

Janet stepped out of the woods and raised her head, gazing at the clear blue sky.

The sky looked the same from here and from the castle.

But Janet could sense something different.

The air smelt fresher…it smelt like freedom.

It was the first time she left the misted woods in 8 years.

“Queen Janet!”

A soldier ran over and saluted to her.

“Any sign of Prince Aspen?” Janet asked.

Janet’s face changed slightly.

Then she nodded, “Alright. Then we should better catch up with him.”

“Yes. My Queen!”

Her son Aspen never came back home after school last night.

Later on, soldiers at the borderline told her that Aspen crossed the border by himself

and had run off.

No one knew what that kid was up to. And why he ran away.

Westin wasn’t in the castle at the moment, and he took Clemente with him.

het search for her missing son.

Janet’s heart was filled with worries as she hit the way, following the steps of her

son.

What happened to Aspen?

Was he safe?

And most importantly-

Casper, Balvina, and…

Daran.

Aspen’s true father.

And that was what truly worried Janet.
