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

Chapter 73

Janet looked at him blankly. It took her a long moment to process what he just said.

After what felt like an eternity to Kass, Janet finally muttered with a dry voice, “…This joke isn’t funny, Kass.”

“I wish it were a joke. But it wasn’t,” Kass said breathing heavily. “I–I can’t keep this from you any longer, knowing that you trust me this much… You deserve to know-”

“But you said your parents died in the rogue’s hand!” Janet snapped harshly, “Was that a lie as well?!”

“NO! That’s true! Listen…”

Kass took a deep breath before continuing. He kept his voice low the whole time in case anyone would hear them.

“I grew up among the rogues. But my family never identified us with those ravagers. We never hurt an innocent person’s life, nor did we ever take pleasure from all the killings and robbing. So they looked down upon us, bullied us, and made our lives miserable. One day, a senior rogue named Sterning-”

“You know Sterning?” Janet gritted.

“Yes. He is the rogue king’s right hand. Does all kinds of dirty work for him.” Kass said lowly, “Sterning came into our house and asked my parents to join them in the next attack on a nearby village. My parents resisted fiercely…So they cut my mother’s belly open and hung my father on a flagpole as an example.”

A cold sensation surged up in Janet’s chest.

“…Where were you when that happened?” she asked.

“Hiding in the closet. As my mother told me to. I witnessed the whole thing…but was lucky enough to survive them. And after that, I couldn’t take it anymore. I knew I had to run…as far away as possible. Blood Moon defeated them during that attack, so

I knew it was my chance-”

“So you pretended to be an orphan and enlisted in the army,” Janet murmured.

She couldn’t believe this.

She was so convinced that Kass was one hundred percent innocent! She defended him harshly in front of all the Gammas.

Yet now he was telling her that he had been lying to her all along?!

“…So that’s why you know the rogue’s tone,” she snarled as her chest tightened in the horrible feeling of betrayal. “Because you are one of them all along-

“NO! I am not! I might have lied about my identity but my hatred towards them is real-”

“But how do you expect me to believe you again?!”

Janet snapped her head up and glared at Kass.
