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

Chapter 72

Everyone in the room turned to look at Janet, who frowned at Glen’s question.

“Rogue’s language? What are you talking about?” she asked.

Glen looked reluctant. After letting out a long sigh, he continued, “I didn’t want to say anything at first but since we are naming names now… Remember that strange howling we heard? None of us knew what that meant. But your guard Kass understood it completely.”

“So? He helped us. What is your point?” Janet snapped.

“It is odd for a soldier like him to know the rogue’s language. And you encountered the rogues following Kass’s instructions, right? To a creek down the West. How do you know if he was lured into a trap on purpose?”

“Yeah, that does sound weird,” Jeff echoed. “And didn’t you say that you got separated from Kass right after you went into the woods? He was sending you into the rogue’s hands!”

Janet sprang out of her seat, her face looking furious.

“Kass is my most trusted warrior. I won’t let you question his loyalty like this-” she hissed.

Steven let out a sarcastic snort, “Oh so now we can’t do it to your soldier? But it is OK to question other people’s loyalty? Way to play the double standard, Gamma Janet.”

Daran looked towards Janet.

“Did you tell Kass about our plan, Janet?” he asked with a deep voice.

Janet clenched her fists. She seemed reluctant but eventually gave a small nod, “…I told both him and Balvina. Because they are both captains of our advance force.”

“Well, there you have it!” Steven clapped his hands together, “The mole! We found him!”

“Hold on a second,” Maxie interrupted him, “Kass is a great warrior. And he has been in battles against the rogues many times before. It doesn’t make any sense for him to leak our battle plans to the rogues. What can he get out of it?”

“What is the back story of this soldier, Janet? Where does he come from? Does he have any families?” Glen asked.

Janet bit her lips in silence

She seemed that she didn’t want to answer his questions at all. But the other’s were too sharp. She was left with no choice.
