Kidnapped and Rejected – The Return of Alpha’s Luna (Moon Claw )
Chapter 88

Chapter 88

A chill was sent down Janet’s spine when their lips touched.

She could feel her wolf howling inside of her, craving for the touch of her mate.

Daran was apparently as turned on as she was.

Holding her waist with both hands, he lifted her up to the top of the desk and squeezed in between her separated legs, while keep kissing her.

His breathing grew heavier. Janet could already feel his erection under his pants. And his hands are traveling down to Janet’s upper thighs…

Janet grabbed his wrist and stopped him.

“What are you doing?” she breathed.

Daran’s eyes were slits. The fire of lust was burning in them.

“You said that we are sex partners,” he said h oar sely. “I am doing exactly what we are supposed to do.”

Janet let out a sarcastic laugh.

“Really? And this isn’t a way for you to stop me from going on that date with Jared?”

She shoved him aside and jumped off the desk.

Her heart was thumping with rage.

She felt offended and even more so, humiliated.

Daran was treating her like a se x toy! Hopping in on her like a lost controlled animal.

Was this the kind of respect that he planned to give his intended Luna?

She made the right decision by turning down his offer.

He was only interested in her body!

Janet tidied her clothes and glared at Daran, “We are sex partners. PARTNERS! So mutual consent was involved! You can’t force me into something when I clearly don’t want to!”

“You don’t want to?”

Daran repeated after her with a wicked grin.

“Your body said the opposite.”

Janet bit her lips in frustration.

He was right. She was indeed turned on. Even her panties were wet right now.

She hated her body for being so honest.

And she hated it the most when Daran was right.

“So what?”

Janet chined up, looking at Daran defiantly.

“You turn me on easily. And I give you credit for that. But you can never get to my heart.”

Daran gritted, “So Jared can get to your heart?”

“That is what I am planning on replaceing out tonight. Now if you will excuse me!”

She gave up on the braid that she was working on before Daran walked in and headed straight to the door.

Her long, silky hair flung in the air. Daran caught a fleeting wisp of her scent when she walked past him.

But a second later, she was gone. Along with her enticing scent.

When Janet arrived at the top of the mountain outside of Crimson Fortress, Jared was already there waiting for her.

It was night. A canvas of a thousand stars was above their heads. The night air was crisp, carrying a hint of pine and the distant rush of a babbling stream.

A plush blanket was spread over the ground with a basket of food sitting on top of it. The flickering candles in ornate lanterns created a beautiful glow.

“I am so glad that you came.”

Jared took her hand and invited her to sit with him on the blanket. His eyes were gleaming softly against the candlelight.

Janet forced a smile, “It’s a date. Why wouldn’t I come?”

Jared handed her a glass of champagne, “Well, let’s just say that I am lucky to have you here tonight.”

They clung to their glasses and Janet took a small sip.

This was what she liked about Jared.

He knew how to avoid the sensitive subject and say some nice things. It was easy and

pleasant being around Jared.

Unlike Daran. Nothing good ever came out of Daran’s mouth.

Janet shook her head.

Why was she thinking about Daran again?

She had got to stop.

They drank their wine in silence. And after a while, Jared spoke up first, “I’m sorry for what Glen did.”

Janet shook her head, “Don’t be. It is not your fault…And I am sorry as well. I know that

you two are really close.”

“Yeah, we are. Like brothers.”

Jared gazed into the distance with a nostalgic look.

“You know…things were really rough when I became the Alpha of Silver Claw Pack. Most of the elders believed that I was too young for the job. If it weren’t for my Alpha bloodline, they would have expelled me a long time ago…’

He took in a deep breath.

“And Glen was the only one to root for me. For years, we stood by each other’s side, facing all difficulties together. It wasn’t easy. But we made it. And it was all because we had each other’s back when something came up. It was hard to imagine a Silver

Claw Pack without its G amma Glen.”

Jared’s voice faded out gradually.

Then he turned to look at Janet.

“Do you think Daran will sentence Glen to death after everything?” he asked.

Janet felt bad for him, especially when she saw the devastated look on his face.

“I…I don’t know, Jared.”

She shook her head.

“And it is not Daran’s decision to make. You are Glen’s Alpha. I guess that in the end, you will have to decide what to do with Glen.”

Jared let out a bitter laugh, “But Glen hurt the alliance and Daran is the alliance’s leader…Honestly, if we have a King of the Alphas, I think it would be Daran. So of course his opinion matters here.”

Janet didn’t know how to respond to this.

They receded into an awkward silence.

After a long pause, Jared heaved out a heavy sigh, “Sorry. I didn’t mean to bring up these kinds of stuff…This is not what I wanted to say to you at all tonight.”

Janet smiled, “Then what did you want to say to me?”

They were sitting on the blanket with a lit lantern between them.

Jared suddenly moved closer toward her.

Now his face was only a few inches away from her own.

Janet could see his long eyelashes flutter like butterflies.

Her mouth turned dry.

Then she heard Jared’s husky voice whispering into her ear:

“I have a whole speech prepared…but I will just go ahead and say it now…”

Janet clenched her hand on the blanket.

She suddenly felt very nervous.

“W-What?” she muttered.

Jared reached into his pocket and took something out. He put his fist out in front of her and slowly spread his palm.

There was a ring in his palm, made of straws and wildflowers.

Janet held her breath.

Pl hea

“Will you be my Luna, Janet?” he asked softly.
