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

Chapter 76

They locked eyes for a few seconds and Janet reacted first. She jumped at him, kicked off his knife, and tackled him to the ground. Kass let out a painful gasp as Janet twisted his arm to his back.

“Janet! It’s me!” Kass cried.

“I know it’s you!” Janet hissed, “What are you doing by my bedside with a knife!”

Kass stared back at Janet with shocked eyes, “W–What are you talking about? It’s your knife! You always keep a knife under your pillow while sleeping. Remember?”

Janet glanced at the knife that had dropped to the ground.

Kass was right. It was indeed her knife. It was an old habit of her to keep a weapon nearby when she was asleep.

“OK. But what were you doing with it? And what were you even in my tent?” Janet snapped.

Kass’s body shivered.

At first, Janet thought he was shaking in fear, but then she discovered that it was because of shock and anger.

“Are you suspecting me?!” Kass snarled with a hurtful voice, “You think I was–was trying to do something to you with that knife? Are you f**king crazy Janet? Doubting

me like that? Do you have any idea how ridiculous that is?!”

He sounded generously mad.

Janet loosened her grip slightly but still kept him kneeling on the ground, “Then why did you come into my tent?”

“I was taking my switch off the night watch! I passed by your tent and wanted to check on you. I saw you asleep and that dagger was only an inch away from your face. I was afraid that it might cut you in your sleep, so I took it and wanted to put it somewhere else!”

Janet froze on her spot for a few seconds and finally released Kass.

Yet Kass didn’t stand up from the ground. He looked up at her with a deeply traumatized look.

“I can’t believe you actually thought I would kill you…” he murmured in astonishment.

Janet didn’t feel so good about this either, “Sorry. I–I have been edgy for too long and I overreacted. I thought you were going to do something after I decided to tell Daran about your identity…
