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

Chapter 90
Janet wanted to pull her wrist back from Daran.
But she couldn’t.
Her wrist was tightly clamped in Daran’s hand.
“What are you doing? Let go!” Janet gritted.
“What the hell is that? Answer me!”
Janet felt a sudden flash of anger.
“What do you think this is?” she snapped, “It is a ring, obviously!”
Daran looked furious, as though he was about to break Janet’s wrist.
“It’s a ring…So he proposed to you? He f ucking asked you to be his Luna?”
He tightened his grip, his knuckles turning white.
“And you said YES?!”
Jared was standing behind their back and saw everything. He was astonished by the raging look on Daran’s face.
He stepped up to break Daran and Janet apart, “Hey you are hurting her. Let her go-”
Daran snapped his head around and let out a roaring howl!
His face was changing. His pupils were turning gold and his wolf fangs were stuck out. The howl he made sounded more like the voice of a wolf instead human.
He was shifting!
But they never shifted in front of their own men!
Janet let out a horrified cry and rushed forward. She shoved Jared to her back and stood in front of Daran.
Yet her protecting gesture infuriated Daran even more.
“You said yes to him right after you rejected me-”
He clenched his fists and growled, his whole body quivering in fury.
“-WHY! Do you really love him that much?!”
“I didn’t!” Janet cried, “Just calm the f uck down Daran-”
But he was tired of listening
With one swift move, he launched forward, shifting into a giant black wolf in midair,
and went after Jared directly!
Jared took a step back in panic. He knew that he probably didn’t stand a chance against Daran. But if Daran attacked him, he had no choice but to shift as well.
Yet Janet acted first.
With a long wolf howl, she shifted into her wolf and stood in Daran’s way.
Her silver-white wolf collided harshly with giant the black wolf with a huge noise.
They both rolled to the ground, getting back on their feet, and glared at each other with hot breaths coming out of their noses.

You are willing to fight me for him?!” Daran roared.
“No one is fighting with anybody, Daran!”
Janet cried.
“It’s you! You are f ucking insane! Just f ucking stop this nonsense!”
Their quarrel caused the other’s attention. A group of people rushed over.
Angelina was running at the very front. She came to Janet’s side and gasped, “What is going on here? Somebody stops them!”
She looked around for help. A few soldiers followed her over but none of brave enough to come up to Daran.
This was Alpha Daran for god’s sake!
And most importantly, in his wolf form!
Seeing that no one dared to step out, Angelina looked back at Daran and pleaded, “Please calm down Alpha. This is Gamma Janet! You know her. Right? What could possibly happen to make you want to fight her?”
Daran froze on his spot.
Everyone present held their breaths, waiting anxiously for his reaction.
After a long pause, Daran shifted back to human. His face was stone-cold, and he looked defeated.
“I was not my best self today,” he said hoarsely. “Sorry, you have to say that.”
Janet shifted back too.
“Daran…”
She took a step forward and wanted to talk to him.
But he cut her off.
“I will leave the Crimson Fortress to clear out some wondering rogues nearby. Take care of the city in the meantime.”
He said that without looking at Janet,
Then he turned on his heels and left in long strides.
Janet stared at his back. And slowly, she breathed out a long sigh of frustration.
“Janet…”
Jared looked at her in worry.
“I am sorry for that. I feel that it was all because of me.”
Janet shook her head with a bitter smile, “Don’t worry about it. It has nothing to do with you. Daran was just being a jerk.”
Daran reacted so strongly because his ego was hurt.
He couldn’t accept the fact Janet would agree to marry Jared instead of him.
What an asshole.
“Hey.”
Angelina tugged at her sleeve.
“I was working at the makeshift market. We could really use some help right now. If you have nothing else to do, why not come over and give me a hand?”
Janet hesitated. And then nodded.
She would just keep wondering about Daran and get all anxious if she was alone in her tent.
It was better to stay occupied.
After saying goodbye to Jared, Janet followed Angelina to the makeshift market.
“How have you been?”
She asked Angelina on their way to the market.
“I like your new hands.”
She noticed that Angelina had a new pair of artificial hands made of iron.
“Oh, thanks. I ran into a local smith the other day and he helped me make this. It is way better than my old, wooden ones.”
“You mean Lance?”
“Yeah, very nice young fellow. Do you know him?”
Janet nodded.
Lance volunteered to serve in their army. She hadn’t got a chance to tell him that they didn’t recruit civilians.
They arrived at the makeshift market soon, which was located on the main avenue. Stalls cobbled together from salvaged materials, line narrow alleyways and empty lots. The air was alive with the symphony of haggling and laughter.
Janet was astonished to find Harper among the group of hustling vendors and customers.
She was lifting bags of food from a trolley and stacked them onto the shelves.
It was heavy labor. But Harper didn’t look irritated or unwilling.
Instead, she was being fast and productive.
“Harper looked…different,” Janet whispered to Angelina.
“She really is. She was still that whiny little bitch before we left Riverside Pack. Even put up with a huge fight when I asked her to come along. But she totally changed when we got to the battlefield. Believe it or not, she is quite docile and helpful right now.”
Janet frowned, looking at Harper in the distance.
“Do you believe that she really changed?” she asked.
Angelina shrugged, “Who knows? Maybe after seeing the cruelty of the war, she finally realizes how ridiculous she was in the past. I like to think on positive terms. So I will sav. veah, she has changed a lot ”
“Can I talk to her?”
