Kidnapped and Rejected The Return of Alpha’s Luna (Janet and Daran)

Chapter 183

Janet knew that Morgana’s warning was real.

But this wasn’t like drawing straws.

She really didn’t know which one of them she should choose.

The only thing she could do was to wait and let the decision come to her naturally. They took roughly a week to tidy things up, to rebuild some parts of the castle, to welcome the citizens back to the city, and to get the city back on track.

Most citizens didn’t care if there was a new King.

As long as there was a place for them to live in, they didn’t care who sat on the throne.

A week later, it was finally time for them to return to Blood Moon Pack.

Since they were not in a rush or anything, they decided to take the car instead of running as their wolves.

Yet right before departure, Daran and Westin got into another fight.

They both wanted to ride in the same car with Janet.

“I know the way back home. So naturally I should ride with Janet,” Daran said with a raised chin.

“Anyone with a map or/a working GPS on their phone knows the way. That is not al very good reason,” Westin raised a brow, “Yet on the other hand…our car is better.”

It was true.

The Lycans brought with them a luxurious SUV, which made the other two Jeeps that Kass arranged for them look shabby and worn.

that Kass arranged for them look shabby and worn.

“Lady Janet, let me give you a brief tour of our car.

Edwin pulled the back door open and revealed the back seat: Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“The hand–crafted leather seat with the seat warmer to make your entire journey comfortable and warm; a built–in refrigerator with all kinds of cool beverages that you can possibly imagine; an in– car entertainment center, games, movies, TV shows, you name it. The 10–hour trip will fly by. Of course, if you prefer the company of our King, he will be sitting right next to you.”

Westin nodded to Janet with a charming smile.

Your car is outdated.” Daran said with a disdainful face, “We have the lasted model in Riverside Pack. Even the windows are bulletproof.”

Westin let out a chuckle, “We don’t need a bulletproof car because we can handle all kinds of dangers.”

“Are you saying that I am weak?!”

“Do you need to hide behind a bulletproof window?”

The two men glared at each other, their eyes filled with hostility and spite.

“Maybe you two should fight for the privilege of riding with Janet ”

Morgana rubbed her chin and said with a sly smile, eager to see their quarrel escalate, “You know, let the best man escort the princess.”

“Fine by me!” Daran hissed.

Westin shrugged, “If you are not afraid of being knocked over to the ground again, I am happy to do a rematch.”

“ENOUGH!”

Janet snapped impatiently, “If I hear another word of your childish argument, I am running back home myself!”

“But which car are you going to take?” Westin asked.

“I am riding with Kass and Morgana.”

Janet hopped in one of the Jeeps and slammed the door shut.

Kass and Morgana got into the car as well, with Kass behind the wheel and Morgana in the back seat Janet.

“You shouldn’t challenge them to a fight,” Janet groaned to Morgana as they drove out of the Grace Ruin. “You know they can’t stand each other.

Morgana propped her elbow on the window frame and giggled, “Yeah, I know. But the fight between them is going to break out sooner or later. There is no way you can stop it.

Janet mumbled, “I just want them to remain civil as long as possible.”

“You won’t know which one of them is the best option for you by keeping things civil. You have to let them fight for it and let the winner rise. It is natural selection.”

Morgana looked out the window and blew a whistle, “But right now, I am leaning towards Westin. Look at that car. It is easy. The Lycans got money.”

“But the Riverside Pack has money as well.”

Kass said with his eyes on the road.

“Do you guys know that the Riverside Pack is rising to become the wealthiest pack in the whole world? It is a relatively new pack, but its pack members are becoming the richest 1 percent. Just imagine how much money its Alpha has.”

“So what?” Morgana rolled her eyes, “He wouldn’t spend that money on Janet. He didn’t even pay for that 100 million ransom when she was kidnapped.”

Janet let out a sigh, “Kass, so you think I should pick Daran?”

“Well, personal feelings aside…I

reliable. And he is a werewolf, lie Alpha Daran. He is a real man, tough, strong,

all of us.”

Janet had never heard Kass speaking this fondly of Daran before.

And that reminded her of something.

“Kass, Daran hasn’t asked you for your blood, right?” she asked.

“No. And I won’t give anyone my blood until you tell me to. I will follow on this, Gamma Janet.

Janet smiled, “I am not your Gamma anymore. You are a King now.” “You will always be my Gamma in my heart.”

your order

Morgana patted Janet’s shoulder, “Making Daran the Werewolf King or not…it is your call to make. I think those two men know about this as well. And that is why they are fighting so fiercely for you. Not just for you as their mate, but also for the power that you stand for.”

Janet shook her head and lapsed into silence.

Once again, she found herself in the center of a storm.

Caught in between two powerful men.

Her heart was torn. Even her wolf.

She couldn’t wait to get back to Riverside Pack and see her brother.

She missed Casper so much.

Maybe he would have a better insight.

Maybe he could tell her which man was best for her.

Their car wound its way through the familiar bends of the road.

As Janet peered through the window, a sense of nostalgia enveloped her.

The green mountains loomed majestically on the horizon, their peaks disappearing into the wisps of clouds.

A dense forest, a tapestry of vibrant hues, flanked the road, the familiar scent of pine needles and earth wafting through the open window.

“Your home is so beautiful!” Morgana gasped by her side.

“Right?” Janet laughed, “And this is Kass’s home as well.”

Kass nodded with a smile, “They say that the Blood Moon Pack is the ever–green land.”

Their cars drove into the city.

Janet told Casper that they were coming back days ago. So she expected there to be some sort of a welcoming ceremony.

She just didn’t know that the ceremony could be this… Huge.

The city’s main streets were adorned with flowers and festooned with ribbons.

A burst of loud cheers and applauses echoed through the air when their cars appeared at the street’s end.

Janet was stunned.

She saw growing throngs of citizens lined up by the streets.

The entire city must have left home and come out to the street to welcome her!

Some people waved colorful banners and ribbons, while others tossed flower petals in the path of her car.

Everyone was shouting loudly.

“Princess Janet! Welcome home!‘

“Our Gamma is back!”

“The Rogue King slayer! Our heroine!”

Their cries and cheers were almost deafening. Yet Janet still couldn’t help but roll down her window and wave at the excited crowd.

“I am back!” she cried.

A burst of joy radiated through her.

She was gone for a very long time. But nobody back home had forgotten about her.

Her heart quickened as their car came into the packhouse’s front yard. Her gaze fixed on the entrance driveway up ahead where a group of figures came into view.

They must be here to welcome her back.

Was Casper here as well?

Excitement bubbled within her. The car slowed, but Janet couldn’t wait for a complete stop before jumping off the moving car.

She rushed forward, her heart pounding with every step.

Her eyes searched for her brother’s face among the crowd. She saw Casper’s beta Eden and a few familiar faces.

But there was no sight of Casper.

“Gamma Janet! Welcome back!”

Eden strode forward and opened his arms for a big hug.

“Thanks! It is great to see you again!” Janet hugged him back, “Where is Casper? Is

he caught up in a meeting or patrol?”

Eden hesitated.

A worried look appeared on his face, “Something…has happened to Alpha.”

Janet’s heart skipped a beat, “What?! Is he sick?”

“No, he is not ill…Please. Come with me. You better see for yourself,” Eden sighed.
