Chapter 37: Kidnapped and Rejected The Return of Alpha’s Luna by Moon Claw Chapter 37

Chapter 37

After a long day of training, Janet and her soldiers walked out of the field bathed in the warm afternoon sunlight.

Although they got interrupted once by Harper’s drama today, they still had a very productive day.

Everyone’s spirit was high. They had no doubt that Blood Moon Pack would be able to win the next round of competition again.

Kass was walking by Janet’s side, talking enthusiastically to her about a training tactic that he learnt today.

And it was when a deep voice came from behind their backs:

“Janet.”

Janet paused and turned around.

Daran was walking up to them in long strikes.

He walked directly passed a few she–wolves who wanted to say hi to him and came to Janet’s side.

“How are you feeling today?” Daran asked while studying Janet’s face closely.

Janet smiled and answered with a business–like–tone, “I am fine. Thank you for asking.”

“You shouldn’t start training so soon. Baron was still in bed rest. And so should you.”

“Well,” Janet shrugged, “Lucky for my pack, I am nothing like Baron.”

Daran raised an eyebrow.

Janet’s tone was clearly sarcastic. But Daran didn’t seem offended by that.

“Blood Moon Pack is indeed lucky to have you,” Daran said coolly.

He directed his cold gaze at Kass and asked, “Is this your soldier?”

“Yes. My junior captain, Kass.”

“The soldiers‘ dining hall is on the other side of the training field. You are heading towards the wrong direction, junior Captain Kass.” Daran said with a faint hint of hostility in his voice.

Kass hesitated and looked at Janet, who faced Daran with a polite smile on her face.

“I invite him to sit with me in our dining room. Is this going to be a problem Alpha Daran?” she asked.

Daran’s face turned dark.

“You invite him quite often.‘ He stared at Janet, “Are you two close?”

Janet avoided his intimidating gaze and said, “I don’t think I need to report every detail of my personal life to you, Alpha Daran… Now, if you will excuse me.”

She turned and walked away with Kass.

But she could still feel Daran staring at her behind her back.

Janet couldn’t help but let out a small sigh internally.

She knew that she might face some troubles coming back to Riverside Pack.

But she never foresaw Daran to be this…clingy.

What did he want now?

Was he suddenly regretted of how he treated her before?

Regardless, it was too late now.

“Gamma Janet,” Kass spoke up by her side in an irritated voice, “Why does Alpha Daran care about you so much? He acts as though the two of you go way back. It is so weird.”

Janet never told anyone about her past in Riverside Pack, except to Casper and Balvina.

So Kass didn’t know that she used to be Daran’s Luna.

And Janet intended to keep things this way.

“I don’t know. Maybe he is just a weird person,” Janet answered elusively and then turned to Kass with a smile. “You must be starving. Hurry. I heard they are serving lobsters today.”

The group of them arrived at the hotel’s banquet hall soon, where all Alphas and generals dined.

When Janet stepped in with Kass, Balvina and Casper, she was not surprised to find that Harper was here as well.

Harper had got changed again and was now dressed in a stunning evening gown. She

even wore a diamond necklace to complete her whole look.

She did stand out from the crowd of exhausted, sweaty soldiers.

“Alpha Daran!”

Harper called and scurried over to them. Then she skipped Janet and addressed Casper with a smile, “Alpha Casper!”

Janet raised an eyebrow and turned to Daran, “It just occurred to me…Alpha Daran, do you know that Harper was in Blood Moon’s training field this afternoon?”

Daran immediately frowned.

“What are you doing there?” he asked Harper sternly, “Civilians are forbidden to enter training fields.”

“I–I didn’t enter!” Harper stammered in panic, “I was just admiring those gallant soldiers behind the fence-”

“Then why didn’t you visit your own pack?” Janet let out a sneer, “Do you find Riverside’s soldiers less gallant than Blood Moon’s soldiers?”

Janet’s voice was loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear.

And some generals from Riverside Pack immediately turned to glare at Harper. “No!” Harper’s face turned red with embarrassment, “It is not what I meant-” “I don’t care what you meant. But please stay away from my training field in the future. Otherwise, the next thing that hit you in the head won’t be a simple dodge ball.”

With that said, Janet walked away from Harper and left her standing on her spot in rage.

Harper bit down her lip in fume.

She couldn’t believe that Janet managed to give her a hard time as soon as she stepped into the room!

That bitch

–

She couldn’t wait a single second to get rid of Janet!

Harper took in a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Then she put on a sweet smile and went over to sit down with Casper.

Janet, Balvina and Kass were all at the bar ordering their drinks. So Casper happened

to be alone when Harper approached him.

“Alpha Casper…”

Harper pout and said in a pitiful voice, “Do you blame me for visiting your training field as well?”

Casper turned to look at her.

After a small pause, he chuckled lowly, “It is Janet’s training field. I have no right to blame anyone.”

“But you are the Alpha! You have the right to do anything you please.” Harper leant over to him and whispered, “If you ask me, Janet can be very bossy and rude and unreasonable sometimes… Look at her with that soldier—”

She gestured Casper to look at Janet and Kass.

“-If she still cares about your feelings, she should never be that intimate with a soldier!”

The smile on Casper’s face faded away, “What is your point exactly, Miss Harper?” “My point is-”

Harper smiled.

“-there are many great women out there. Don’t keep your options limited.”

Just then, a maid come over to fill Casper’s glass. Her hand shook and some of the wine got spilled on Casper’s hand.

“Oh god! My apology Alpha Casper!” the maid immediately apologized in panic, “Please let me…”

She picked up his hand and pulled out a handkerchief. Gently, she wiped away the wine from Casper’s hand.

The tip of her index finger brushed across his palm seductively.

Casper jerked around at this maid and frowned.

This maid had a ginger head and a pretty face.

Casper also noticed that she dressed way fancier than the other maids in this dining hall.

“Amy! How can you be this clumsy?” Harper complained and then turned to Casper, “Please forgive my maid. Is there anything she could do to make it up for you?”

“Anything, Alpha Casper,” Amy added while looking up at Casper from under her eyelashes.

Casper withdrew his hand and smiled aloofly, “…I will let you know if there is anything I need later.”

When Janet came back from the bar, she found Casper rubbing his temples frustratedly.

“What happened?” Janet asked.

“Thank god you come back,” Casper sighed. “I almost got swollen alive by two sirens.”

Then he told them what happened moments ago.

“You have got to be kidding me!” Balvina rolled her eyes in disdain, “That whore Harper! Now she is asking her maid to seduce you? Does she have a part–time job as the pimp?”

Janet stared at that Amy maid in distance, pondering.

She remembered this maid.

This Amy used to toss her all the hard labors when Janet was still in Riverside Pack.

Janet also bumped into her in the lobby last week when she carried Janet’s luggage to the top floor.

Amy made quite a speech about how she wanted to be the Alpha’s lover.

Harper must have noticed this maid’s ambition and asked her to approach Casper.

“What should we do now?” Balvina asked, “Should we kick this maid’s ass and ask her to behave?”

“No.” Janet suddenly said, “We will play their game.”

She gestured the two of them to lean over and whispered something in their ears.
