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

Chapter 187

An awkward silence fell upon them.

Balvina bit her lips, looking reluctant to answer, but eventually gave in under everyone’s sharp gaze.

“Well…yeah. I am…actually,” she sighed.

“You are pregnant, and you still decided to leave me?!” Casper raised his voice abruptly and roared, “Are fucking crazy?!”

Balvina’s eyes blazed in rage, “Did you fucking hit your head or something?! You dumped me you asshole! What am I supposed to do otherwise, huh? Stay and have our baby while you move on to your next girlfriend?!”

“NO!” Casper cried, “I didn’t mean to dump you-”

“Did you say those words then? Did you say that you want our relationship to end?”

“I did but-”

“You really said those stuffs?” Janet spoke up sternly with a frown, “You really are a piece of shit, Casper.”

“Irresponsible,” Daran commented by the side.

“HEY!”

Casper snapped his head around and pointed a finger at Daran, “You of all people don’t have the right to say that!“.

Daran shrugged and shut his mouth.

Casper ran his fingers through his hair and groaned frustratedly, “OK, listen. I said I wasn’t happy with our current relationship…because I am tired of just being your boyfriend. I–I want things to be more serious between us.”

Balvina’s jaw dropped.

Not just her, everybody present looked shocked.

“Wait,” Janet chimed in. “So you weren’t breaking up with Balvina?”

“Of course not!”

“But when I asked you if you were dumping me, you clearly said yes!” Balvina snapped, “Stop lying to me, Casper!”

“Fuck–I said Yes because I was downplaying your expectation! I hit you first with a small bad news before bringing out the real surprise! It is called building up for the climax!”

“What surprise? What the hell are you talking about?!”

Casper’s face was tomato red.

He reached into his pocket with a shaky hand and pulled out a small velvet box. “Now I look like an idiot giving you this…” he mumbled.

He opened the box.

There was a giant diamond ring in it, gleaming gorgeously under the room light. Balvina let out a short cry, clamping her mouth with both hands.

There was a round of gasps in the hall. Maids at the far end of the room were standing on their tiptoes to get a clearer view of this

standing on their tiptoes to get a clearer view of this.

“I had the whole thing planned out,” Casper scratched his head embarrassedly. “After Janet comes back–at tonight’s dinner party–I am going to ask you to marry me… I didn’t know you would be that pissed and simply vanished-”

Janet couldn’t hold her tongue anymore, “Of course, she would be pissed! You asked for a breakup!”

“I said it is called downplaying expectation-”

“I don’t care. It is goddamn stupid.” Janet said harshly, “I won’t blame Balvina if she says no to your idiotic proposal.”

Casper was rendered speechless.

He glanced at Balvina, who was still in a daze.

“But we will give you some privacy now. Let you figure it out,” Janet smiled and called to the staff in the hall, “Everybody out!”

All the maids and servants filed out of the dining hall and closed the door behind them, giving the room back to Casper and Balvina.

Many maids were giggling and chattering about what just happened. They all seemed pretty excited about their future Luna.

“So…what an emotional roller coaster,” Daran said deeply as they walked down the hallway shoulder to shoulder.

“Yeah. I didn’t know I would be cleaning up Casper’s mess on my first day home,” Janet let out a sigh.

“They look happy though.”

“They have always had strong feelings toward each other. Casper just didn’t realize it before. They aren’t mates but still stayed together for nearly a decade. Only love has that kind of power,” Janet said lowly.

They crossed the lobby and reached the staircase.

Daran grabbed Janet’s wrist and stopped her when she set foot on the first stair.

“I am sorry,” he said abruptly.

Janet was stunned, …What for?”

“I never proposed to you. I didn’t even give you a proper wedding. And I regret it every time I think about it.”

His gorgeous eyes gleamed softly under the chandelier light, reminiscent of the vast ocean on a full moon night.

“I know you want something that Casper had for Balvina,” he said deeply.

Janet couldn’t help but chuckle, “You meant his utterly stupid proposal?”

“Not the plan itself. But the thought he put into it.”

Daran gently pushed a lock of her hair to the back of her ear, “…I should have done. the same for you.”

Janet struggled to look away from those enchanting eyes of his, “Yes you should have. But now it is too late.”

“It is never too late!

Daran’s tone suddenly became rushed, “Janet, I want to ask you, if I-” “-Janet!”

A cry from their back interrupted Daran’s speech.

They both looked around and found Westin and his men across the lobby and walking up toward them.

“I searched the entire back mountain where people usually hide themselves but no sign of your friend,” Westin said. “But don’t worry. I already had my men searching the suburb. We will find her soon.”

Daran let out a loud, sarcastic snort.

“Don’t bother, King Westin,” he said in an acrid tone. “I already found her.”

Westin froze.

Then slowly, he turned to look at Daran, “…You found her?

“Yes.” Daran sneered, “What did I tell you? This is the werewolf’s land. You know nothing about it. It is still not too late for you to get the hell out of here and run back to where you belong.”

“Janet invited me,” Westin said coldly.

“Only because you forced her. Fuck off. And stop trying to take her away from her own home!“!

“Or what? Are you going to throw me out forcefully?” Westin lowered his voice, sounding provocative. “Do you have what it takes?”

Daran let out an icy laugh, “Watch me!”

He threw a punch directly at Westin’s face!

The two men got into a brutal fight, attacking each other with punches and kicks that aimed to kill.

Westin was a Lycan. He was stronger. But Daran had more combat skills.

They seemed to reach a tie.

People in the lobby were all startled by this fight. Maids cried in fear and ran to the corners to hide. Guards picked up weapons and rushed in to break up the fight.

The entire lobby lapsed into complete chaos.

Janet’s head ached with frustration.

Why couldn’t these two men let her have a single moment of peace?

Just then, the door to the dining hall swung open and Casper marched out.

He grabbed a pistol from one of the guards and fired it to the sky without hesitation-

BANG!

The ringing noise echoed across the room, freezing all turmoil.

“Fighting under my roof?” Casper dropped the pistol, his eyes ice–cold. “I don’t

welcome a guest like that.”

Daran and Westin both stopped.

“…I am sorry,” Daran said deeply.

“My apology, Alpha Casper,” Westin cleared his throat. “And…nice to meet you.”

Casper critically stared at him up and down, “So, the Lycans do exist. And you are here to win my sister’s heart? Just like Alpha Daran?”

“Yes.”

Casper snorted, “One thing I do know is that I won’t marry my dear sisters to an abusive man. I don’t care what is your title, how many men you rule, or how much money you have. If you

And that goes to the two of 10 stay in my house, you better behave. No violence.

The two men glared at each other, their eyes flashing with hatred.

But they both murmured a yes.

“Janet, a word?” Casper tilted his head and gestured to the dining hall. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Janet nodded.

She walked past those two men and followed Casper back into the dining hall, shutting the door.

“Janet! Look at my ring!”

Balvina rushed to her at once, waving her hands excitedly in the air, “It is huge!!”

Janet laughed. She had never seen her close friend this girly before.

“Congratulations!” she opened her arms and hugged Balvina tightly, “So you said.

yes!”

Balvina giggled, “I had to say yes, if not to him, at least to this fucking diamond. And

the wedding is two weeks from now.

Janet rounded her eyes. More good news!

“It is awesome! But do you have enough time to get ready? There are so many things to be done-”

“You are here to help, aren’t you?” Casper wrapped his arm around Balvina’s shoulder and grinned.

“Do I have a choice?” Janet rolled her eyes.

“No, you don’t. We both agree that a war heroine will be awesome at party planning as well.”

“And Casper and I were just talking,” Balvina added. “We both think that you should officially announce whom you will marry at our wedding.”
