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

Chatper 129

Chapter 129

“If it is absolutely impossible to get Lance out of the city, I don’t mind going for the first option,” Daran

said icily.

Jgave him a look of astonishment.

That was a hard decision to make. And few people were tough enough to make that decision this quick.

“You are crazy,” Andre snapped in fume. “Do you know how many people are there in the city of Grace

Ruin? And you are going to kill them all?”

“If that is what it takes to kill Lance, then yes,” Daran answered ruthlessly.

“Including me? Your friend? And all those women and children?!”

A cold gleam appeared in Daran’s eyes, “We had already agreed that we would

go separate ways after this one-tcooperation. We are no friends, Andre. If you are so afraid of

dying, switching sides and abandoning your rogue identity is always an option.”

Andre clenched his fists, looking as though he wanted to throw a punch at Daran’s face.

Jquickly stepped in between them to stop the fight, “Calm down, the both of you. We are not

making this decision right now. Andre, tell us how your father died. Did someone kill him outside of the

rogue’s territory?”

“Yeah…that is right.”

Andre lowered his voice, a sad look on his face.

“My father didn’t quite understand the rules of this power when he was the King. He knew that a sacred

power was protecting him from being hurt by the others, but he didn’t know that the charm would be

busted once he was out of our land…One the went hunting and went beyond the borderline, and

he was ambushed by an enemy.”

“Then why didn’t the person who killed your father becKing?” Jasked.

“The Rogues doesn’t have a clear line of succession. If the former King dies, the next King won’t

appear until all the rogues pledge their loyalty to the sperson. After my father passed away, there

was a long tof turbulence…..And then Lance showed

up.”

“He united all the tribes,” Daran said.

“Yeah, with dirty tricks and sow discord,” Andre snorted in disgust. “And he chaseddown and

tortured me..,until I told him the rules of this sacred power. And now I am handing this key to you.”

He raised his head and looked at Daran and Jwith a pleading face.

“I know that we are on different sides, and you need to do what is necessary…but just remember this-

not all rogues are bad. My father never invaded your land once. Lance is the source of all evilness…

Don’t go for the rest of us. Don’t makeregret giving you this key.”

Daran looked back at him, deadpan.

Daran looked back at him, deadpan.

“We need to go,” he said eventually.

He didn’t give Andre a clear answer of what they were going to do.

When the two of them left the tent, they saw guards running around, busy to save the fire, and

panicked girls fleeing the campsite in the middle of the chaos.

In the distance, a soaring fire lit up the night sky.

Jgazed at the fire with a sweet sense of triumph at heart.

They successfully burned this hell hole to ashes.

Now that Danton died…Lance was next up on the list.

“Let’s go,” Daran whispered to her ears.

Jnodded. They held hands and ran into the woods.

The fire went so high that they could still see that part of the sky being lit up when they were back to

Lance’s palace.

People back at the palace had all heard about the fire. Panic was spreading. Guards left their spots

and went up to the rampart to get a better view of the fire.

Nobody noticed that Jand Daran were gone for half of a night and had just come

back.

Once they were in the suite, Jtook off her clothes and threw them into the fireplace, destroying all

the evidence.

Daran went to pour her a glass of wine.

“Cheers.” he raised the glass, “I think we deserve a little celebration for tonight.”

Jsmiled and clinked her glass with his.

“So what is your decision?” she asked lowly after a a sip.

Daran sighed. He placed his glass on

the table and leaned forward to hug her, “Do

we really have to talk about that right now?”

“Yeah…I want to know what you think.”

“You won’t like my answer,” he said

Jlapsed into silence.

She knew Daran.

He was a decisive and ruthless person, an Alpha, always willing to make the hard. decisions.

s person, an

And frankly speaking, destroying the Grace Ruin was easier compared to luring Lance out of the city.

They could now summon their forces, start an attack, take down the city, and. slaughter any rogues

who decided to stick with Lance.

Most rogues were not as trained as their soldiers. So this battle wouldn’t be a hard

one.

But…she was reluctant.

She couldn’t stop thinking about all those people whom she had becacquainted with since she got

here, people who had helped her, like Morgana, Andre, or even that girl Dora tonight.

Many of them didn’t choose to becrogues.

And they certainly didn’t deserve to be buried with Lance.

“Remember the tthat I was kidnapped by the rogues and left in the woods. alone?” she asked

Daran.

Daran’s jaw tightened. That was his darkest memory, something that he would.

never want to revisit.

“Yeah. Why?” he asked lowly.

“If my brother didn’t arrive just in tto bringback to Blood Moon Pack, I might beca rogue

myself. If that happens, will you killalong with the others?”

Daran tightened his grip on Janet’s hand. He looked frustrated.

“No! I won’t allow that to happen!” he growled darkly.

“I know. But hypothetically…”

“Don’t make such a horrible hypothesis.” He pulled her into his arms and pressed her head firmly

against his chest, “Just…don’t.”

He couldn’t even begin to imagine that. It hurt too much.

“I don’t do anything to upset you, Janet,” he said.

“Really?” Jbeamed. “Even if it means that you will have to choose the more difficult path?”

“Yes. Even so.”

He gently stroked her long hair, immersing himself in her enticing scent.

“You are always my top priority…no matter what happens, despite all

circumstances.”

Janet’s heart swelled. She wrapped her arms around his waist, hugging him tighter.

He was a cold and ruthless Alpha.

But the ruthless Alpha was willing to turn soft for her.

They could hear urgent footsteps and people crying and shouting all night.

At around dawn, someone cto knock on their doors.

Jwas woken by that noise.

“Do you want to get the door?” she asked.

“Just ignore them,” he said idly.

“They might break in here if we don’t answer.”

“They wouldn’t dare.”

Jchuckled and gave him a gentle nudge, “Go.”

Daran raised an eyebrow and got out of bed as she told. Jwrapped a nightrobe around her body

and followed him out.

The door opened up. A great group of soldiers stood outside.
