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

Chapter 87

Glen and Veronica were kept in a severely guarded house that they temporally used as a prison cell.

When Daran and Janet walked in, a doctor was examining Veronica’s condition. She was awake already but looked very tired and wan.

“How is she, doctor?” Janet asked.

“If she swallowed the whole pill, she would be dead by now. The good news is that half of that pill isn’t enough to kill her. But the bad news is that it damaged her throat, permanently.”

Everyone rounded their eyes in shock.

“Are you saying that she can’t talk again? That she lost her voice?” Glen asked urgently.

The doctor sighed, “I am afraid so.”

Glen held Veronica’s hand at a loss. The couple looked at each other with tears gleaming in their eyes.

Jared stepped out of the crowd, “Glen.”

Glen quickly cast a glance at him and then looked down. There was a shameful look on his face.

“Alpha Jared…” he said in a quivering voice, “I don’t know what to say…I am sorry…for everything…”

“You should be.”

Jared crossed his arms, looking grim and serious.

“Us Silver Claw men are all very proud of how dedicated we are to our partners. But that is no excuse for you to betray your own men! Alpha Daran was right about one thing: You can’t make up for what you did with a simple apology. You have to take responsibility.”

Glen’s shoulders slumped.

He looked down–hearted.

“You can kill me and toss my body to the wildness to feed the wild animals. I am fine with that,” he said in a defeated tone. “But please set Veronica free. It was my idea to take the Rogue King’s offer. Not hers.”

Tears rushed down Veronica’s face.

She shook her head hastily, trying to say something in tears. But her throat was destroyed. She could only make a few muffled sounds that nobody could make sense of.

“Or maybe there is an alternative way,” Janet said.

She walked up to Veronica and placed her hand on top of Veronica’s, “You were trying to save your loved ones. I get it. Now you can do the same thing by giving us information about the Rogue King.”

Veronica looked at her.

Suspicion flickered across her eyes.

“With such information, we will conquer the Rogue King and rescue your family out of his hands. I can’t promise that you won’t be punished after that. But at least in the meantime, you get to spend more time with Glen.”

Jared echoed, “Janet is right. So what do you say, Glen? Do you prefer to be executed tomorrow? Or enjoy some quality time with her while correcting your own mistake?”
