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

Chatper 50

Chapter 50

With everyone watching, Hellen, Paul, John, and a young man cacross the crowd and arrived at

the stage.

Jimmediately recognized that young man as the Diaz’s middle son, Owen.

Owen was a large and sturdy man with his bulging muscles and bushy mustache. He seemed like one

of those people who would pick up a random fight on the street.

And as the matter of fact, Owen was exactly like that: hot–tempered, aggressive, and

abusive.

When they were child, Jwas his personal punching bag, and he would beat her up just for fun.

And all other kids like Harper and John would stand by the side and cheer for Owen when he abused

her.

The harder he punched, the merrier the group got.

Jcould never forget the pain and humiliation. Those miserable memories were forever engraved

on her soul.

She hadn’t seen Owen after she returned to Riverside Pack this time. She heard that

Owen wanted to serve in the army and was sent to the border.

He probably rushed back last night because of what happened to Harper.

“Mom! Dad! My brothers!”

Harper let out a sharp scream and crawled forward, grabbing Hellen’s skirt by its edge.

“I miss you so much mom!” she looked up at Hellen with red eyes and sobbed, “You don’t know what

kind of place they tossedinto! That cell was horrible! It is dark and damp. And I got rats nibbling my

feet at nights…I was so scared, mom!”

Hellen stroked her long hair lovingly and said, “It is OK now. You are no longer in that cell, my dear.”

“And I don’t want to return to that place, EVER!”

Harper tightened her grip on Hellen’s skirt and whispered urgently, “Mom, you must getout of this.

Just pay that filthy rat Angelina enough money and I am sure she can forgive me!”

John said with a frown, “But Harper, we had tried to talk to Angelina for the past few

days. And she declined our compensation, saying that all she wanted was justice.”

“Bullshit!”

Harper snapped, darting him a glare.

“Those lowly commoners don’t care about the justice. All they care is money! Double the

compensation! Triple it! Writer her a blank check if needed!”

Owen suddenly let out a cold snort.

“And all those money are coming from our family’s saving? It hardly seems fair, doesn’t it?”

Squinting at his little sister, Owen said in a sarcastic voice. “You have made no money for this family so

far, Harper. All you do all day is shopping for luxury clothes and getting your nails and hairs done. You

had a shot of becoming the Luna but that went down the drain as well. You are useless now. Why

should we spend all those money on you?”

Harper glared at her middle brother as a hysterical look passed across her face.

“Because I am your sister! By blood! You have to save me!” Harper shrieked, “And I am still better off

than you, you dumbass! What have YOU done for this family, huh? You couldn’t even get yourself into

the army!”

“What did you just say? Do you wantto hit you?!”

The elder’s voice traveled down from the stand and interrupted their quarrel:

“Have the defendant’s family reached to an understanding yet?”

Hellen wiped the corner of her eyes and stepped aside, raising her volume, “Yes, we have.”

“Very well, then.”

The elder stood up from his seat and said to the whole crowd in a booming voice:

“The defendant, Harper Diaz, was charged with the crof defamation, illegal harassment, threat,

detention, and abuse. By Riverside Pack’s law, she should be

expelled and have her wolf claws chopped off and her forehead tattooed! Does anyone have a

question with that?”

There was a loud applause and cheering from the bystanders. Someone even yelled “she deserves it.”

Harper bit her lips and looked at her parents eagerly.

She was their favorable child!

Among all 5 Diaz’s kids, Jwas dull, Owen was stupid, John was weak and Elias–their big brother–

was never really home.

Only she–Harper–was pretty, smart, sophisticated, and adorable, the whole package.

Her parents picked her without hesitation when she and Jwere abducted by rogues together. So

she was sure that her parents would save her again.

Even though she flumped temporarily, she was sure that she could win back everyone’s heart within no

time.

Holding her breath, Harper stared at her parents and waited them to voice out their disagreement.

Hellen took a step forward facing the whole stand and answered in a firm voice, “The entire Diaz family

agrees with these penalties.”

WHAT?!

Harper couldn’t believe what she just heard…What did her mother just said?!

Even the elder seemed taken aback. After a pause, he asked again, “The defendant’s mother, are you

sure you have no problem with these penalties? They will be executed immediately after Ms. Diaz is

sentenced.”

“Yes, I am sure.”

Hellen sobbed and wiped her eyes again, “What can we say? We failed completely at raising Harper.

We don’t know how she becthis cold, vicious and heartless monster. This is not at all how we

wanted to raise her. So we agree…that she deserves all these penalties.”

Paul took a step further and held his wife’s shoulder, raising his head to look at Daran, “We just hope

the Alpha could remember how–selfless and impartial–we all are on this thing.”

Daran remained expressionless as though he didn’t hear Paul’s flattering words at all.

Sitting to his right, Jslightly raised her brow as a sarcastic smile touched upon her lips:

Hellen and Paul were even more heartless than she had thought.

But she was not too surprised either.

She knew Hellen and Paul’s heart was made of stones.

This couple only loved themselves.

They chose Harper over her when they were abducted by the rogues simply because Harper had a

better shot at winning Daran’s love than her.

So they picked the best candidates among the two, Harper.

Yet now, Harper’s reputation stink. Daran hated her.

And the entire upper–class people had seen the ugliest side of Harper at the party.

No noble man would marry Harper after that incidence.

Harper was ruined.

It was no surprise that the Diaz would give up on her now.

Quivering on the ground, Harper clenched her ragged clothes and screamed at her parents in disbelief,

“Mom! Dad! Are you kiddingright now?! Are you going to let them torturelike that? Why! WHY!”

“Because you deserve it!”

Harper’s lips twitched.

She seemed as though she just got struck by a thunder.

Then she suddenly started to scream, tearing her hair, and scratching her own skin like a lunatic.

The Diaz looked terrified.

“My daughter has lost her mind!” Hellen said loudly, “Somebody clog her mouth!”

John and Owen rushed forward urgently to clamp Harper’s mouth shut.

“Yeah. And that compensation you talked about had a better use now,” Owen sneered. “Mom and dad

intended to bribe the gamma and getinto the army.”

Hårper struggle violently, groaning, with tears streaming down her face.

She was betrayed by her whole family.

She hated them!

She hated them so much! These cold–hearted hypocrites!

Two guards ran over and clogged Harper’s mouth. Daran rose from his seat and glanced across the

Civic Square.

“If there are no more objections—‘

He slowly began with a deep voice.

“-I hereby sentence Hellen Diaz a permanent sentence of—”

“Wait!”

Suddenly a voice cfrom the stand, interrupting Daran’s announcement.

Everyone turned their heard and looked towards the objector.
