Kidnapped and Rejected The Return of Alpha’s Luna (Janet and Daran) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 

The three of them kept walking for another 10 minutes. 

But weirdly, they didn’t see any water. 

And there was a rot, disgusting smell in the air, like a seething mass of bacteria that had taken over the surrounding area. 

The bird song that had accompanied them the whole way had also disappeared, and they are left with nothing but an eerie silence. 

Something seemed off. 

Eventually, the path led them to a huge cave. The cave stood 5 meters high and seemed large enough to fit in an army of people. 

“This doesn’t seem right,” Balvina whispered to Janet, her face all serious. 

Kass dragged Janet to his back and stared into the pitch–black cave, “We should leave, now.” 

They were right. This wasn’t the right way to go. 

Yet Janet suddenly felt the wind changing direction, bringing a strong, disgusting smell! 

Something was coming at them from the cave! 

“LOOK OUT-” Janet screamed and shoved Kass and Balvina to the side. 

They fell to the ground! 

And quickly jerked around to look at the gigantic animal that just dashed out of the 

cave.‘ 

It stood there like a tower. Then a deafening howl came from its mouth. 

Janet widened her eyes. 

…What the fuc k was this?! 

Standing before them was a 13 feet tall bear! 

But its size was way larger than a regular bear. And it had unnaturally sharp fangs and long claws, making it looked more like a werewolf than a bear. 

“What the fuc k-” Balvina cried. 

“Bear’s variant!” Janet said hastily, “Someone transfused werewolf’s blood to them. Making them much stronger and fiercer!” 

She had heard about those rumors before. 

That deep in the back mountain there was an inhabitance of crazy, lethal bears. 

One was enough to take down two werewolves. 

But she always thought those rumors were made–up stories to keep kids away from the back mountain. 

Until today. 

Until that map led them down this path! 

“On your feet!” Janet hissed, “It is about to attack!” 

The bear’s beaming red eyes were on them. Then with a roaring howl, it jumped directly at Kass! 

Kass rolled on the ground and dodged its claw. When he stood up again, he had shifted into a large black wolf. 

The wolf snapped his head around and faced the bear, making a threatening hissing sound. 

“Keep it that way!” Janet cried, while circling around the bear with Balvina carefully. “Get its attention Kass! Balvina and I will find an opening to strike back!” 

The black wolf curved his back and exposed his fangs at the bear. 

The bear was soon enraged by his aggressive gesture. Waiving its claws frantically in the air, the bear lunged at Kass at full speed! 

At the same time, Balvina and Janet went for the bear’s opening back together. 

Balvina jumped and shifted in the midair. She landed on the bear’s back and dug its fangs deep into the bear’s flesh. 

The bear felt pain. It started/struggling like crazy and twirled its body around. “Hang in there!” Janet yelled. 

She didn’t shift. Her small human form allowed her to move around more easily. Grabbing the bear’s chest fur, Janet easily climbed up to the bear’s giant head. 

The bear was too distracted by Balvina and Kass. 

It didn’t notice her. 

Knelt down on the bear’s shaking head, Janet drew a dagger from her back. 

“GO TO HELL 

She stabbed down on the center of the bear’s skull with both of her hands! 

Blood gushed out, spilling all over Janet’s body. 

The bear roared and screamed loudly. 

It staggered back a few steps. 

And fell to the ground with a huge thud. 

“Oh my god,” Balvina shifted back and wept her forehead, “What a beast! If that bear’s body can’t lock up our position as the top one, what will?” 

Kass had shifted back as well. 

He ran to Janet’s side and asked urgently, “Gamma Janet, are you alright?” 

Yet Janet didn’t answer him. 

She put a finger on his mouth, gesturing him to keep quiet. 

She was still gazing into the cave. 

Kass and Balvina froze. 

And then they gradually turned they heads and gazed to where Janet was looking at. 

In the cave, more and more red dots were appearing against the darkness. 

They were bear’s eyes. 

…There were more than one bear. 

Back in the training field. 

“Look-” someone cried and pointed at the sky. 

Everybody looked up. 

It was a red firework from the signal gun each team received. 

A team was asking for help in the forest! 

“Oh my,” Harper gasped. “It’s only been 3 hours and people are already asking for helps already? And judging by the direction of this firework, it is where Janet is at. I thought she claimed to be the strongest Gamma-” 

Yet before she could finish her sarcasm, Daran shoved her aside roughly. 

He quickly strode forward and snapped, “I need a team of 10 people following me into the forest! Now!” 

“Are you crazy?!” 

Harper screamed. 

She stumbled forward in her skinny high heels and grabbed Daran’s sleeves blurting 

out, “You are the Alpha for Christ’s sake! Why do you have to risk yourself for a bunch of soldiers like them-” 

“What do you mean?” 

Casper looked at Harper with a sulkily look on his face. 

“If a man is injured on the battlefield, as Alphas we are supposed to leave him there?” Casper asked sharply. 

Harper choked. 

She suddenly noticed that everyone present–every man–was glaring at her hostilely right now. 

Daran shook Harper off him and said to a soldier, “She is not a warrior. She shouldn’t be here in the first place. Drag her out.” 

Then he hurried towards the forest, leaving Harper’s desperate cries behind him. 

“I’m coming with you!” Casper caught up with Daran. 

They were all worried that it might be Janet. 

Casper, Daran and other 10 soldiers rushed into the forest, heading directly at the place where the firework was fired. 

They were all very fast. 

Within half an hour, they have arrived at the scene. 

“Look!” a soldier cried, pointing at the ground. 

There were a lot of blood spilled on the ground, some even on the tree. 

There were also deep claw marks on the tree trunk, indicating a fierce fight had taken place here. 

“Janet!” 

Casper yelled and rushed forward, with Daran on his heels. 

Daran’s body was strained, and his mind was a mess. 

He couldn’t begin to imagine if anything bad had happened to Janet. 

But how was this possible? There were only a few hyenas, bears, or lions in the mountain, but nothing too dangerous… 

What could possibly harm a group of Gamma and strong soldiers? 

In the open area upfront, they finally found traces of people. 

A gigantic bear was fallen to the ground, died. There was a severely injured brown she–wolf lying by the side, its whole body covered in blood. 

Daran’s mind went blank for a second. 

…Janet. 

Then he quickly realized. 

No, it wasn’t right. 

This wasn’t Janet. 

Janet’s wolf had silver fur, not brown. 

Just then, two men rushed out of the bush that they had been hiding and staggered towards Daran crying: 

“A–Alpha-! HELP!” 

It was Baron and his soldier. 

Daran could hardly hide the shock on his face as he snapped, “It was you who fired the signal gun?!” 

“Y–Yes…” Baron’s face was still twisted with dread. 

He was still overwhelmed by the extreme fear. 

Baron knew that the map he gave Janet would lead her directly into that crazy bear’s 

cave. 

But he didn’t know that those bears could be this strong! Nor did he know that one of the bears would run off and stumble upon them! 

He and Bobbie had been hiding in the bush while his female warrior Maxine handled that bear. 

Thank God that Maxine wasn’t as half bad at fighting. Or all three of them would be died by now. 

“Holy fu c k…” Casper covered his nose and walked close to the dead bear’s body and examined, “What on earth is this! Is this natural inhabitant of this forest?” 

“There are rumors about this beast in my pack.” Daran said darkly. 

Then he looked back at Baron and snarled: 

“These bears never leave their cave! What is this one doing here?!” 

A hint of panic passed across Baron’s eyes, “I–I don’t know…” 

“Are there more of them?!” 

“I don’t know…probably…” 

“And Janet?” Casper snapped, “Have you seen Janet or any other teams?” 

Baron gulped nervously. 

He wanted to lie or keep quiet. But he eventually caved in front of these two strong Alphas. 

“I–I heard some fighting noises from that direction,” Baron pointed to the north and stuttered. “I heard Janet screaming, telling her teammates to run…but then everything was quiet again…” 

Baron shivered. 

“I think…Janet is died by now.”
