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

Chapter 56

The witness Janet wanted to talk to was Maxie.

Although Baron hadn’t been very nice to Maxie, he trusted her very much. He brought her to the first between–packs competition, and he even let her fill in as the substitute trainer while he was absent.

Maxie must know something about his dirty deals.

The only problem was whether or not she would be willing to tell Janet everything that she knew.

It seemed that Maxie was terrified of Baron. She didn’t even dare to say a word of defiance when Baron blamed her for the mad bear incident.

Baron must have found a way to control her somehow.

Janet needed to find out by what means Baron was controlling Maxie.

And she needed to win over Maxie’s trust.

Maxie was living in the central packhouse. Since she didn’t show up in the training field today, Janet thought she might have the luck of finding Maxie in her room.

Janet arrived outside of Maxie’s room and gently knocked on the door.

Nobody answered.

Janet didn’t give up. She knocked again.

This time she heard a series of light footsteps approaching the door, followed by a guardedly tensed voice asking, “Who is it?”

“It is me, Janet, from the Blood Moon Pack.” Janet leant closer to the door and

asked, “Can we talk for a minute?”

“I can’t think of anything we can talk about,” said Maxie warily.

It didn’t kick off with a great start.

But Janet didn’t leave.

Instead, she held the doorknob and insisted, “Give me a chance to talk to you Maxie. This is important. You don’t need to come out. We can talk through the door if you like.”

There was another long silence.

And then, the door was opened up a crack, revealing a small part of Maxie’s face.
