Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 122

Chapter 122: In your debt

"Yes, you did," Killian replied. He couldn’t make any kind of contribution to the investigation since he was worried about Inez. All the information that he knew was courtesy of the council and Finn, as he wanted to stay with Inez. "You saved my sister’s life. You actually saved her at the cost of your own life. You knew that it would hurt you, but you still did it." He hated that she had put her life at risk for his sister, as he knew that Inez was worried that if she didn’t put Selene first, the blame would lie with her.

He was the alpha of the pack, and it was his instinct to protect every female and child of his pack. And he had taken Inez under his wing. She was under his protection, and yet she got injured in such a manner. He was the one who had caused her pain. If he had been careful, then nothing like this would have happened. If only Killian had given her a sense of security, then Inez would never have placed her life on the line like this.

She swallowed hard at how Killian was looking at her. "Of course I did. Did you expect me to stay and watch her get hurt?"

"You didn’t have to. You don’t owe me anything for you to put your life at risk like that."

"I know that; there is no need to say it out loud. Just think of it as a favour that I did on your pack," said Inez as she let out a yawn. Even though she had been out of action for the entire night, she still felt tired, as most of her mana had been used in making that prophecy.

Killian’s lips twitched into a smile. "Thank you for what you did."

"Don’t thank me. It just happened; I cannot take the credit for something like that."

It seemed like too much praise and gratitude made his siren uncomfortable. Killian smiled at her and said, "I am still grateful. If not for you, Selene would have lost her life today."

Inez didn’t say anything. She ran her fingers through her hair and then asked, "How long was I out?"

"An entire night and half a day." He noticed that she was not surprised and asked, "You don’t seem surprised; did you know that it was going to take so long?"

"I read all about the sirens and their powers," replied Inez. "The book did say that making prophecies could take a lot of mana, which might cause the sirens to be unconscious for more than just a few days. Sometimes, if the sirens make prophecies that can change the future of the world, they might even stay unconscious for months."

It was quite fortunate that the prophecy only saved a few lives. "Do prophecies happen without you knowing?" Although he had never met any sirens, they were often written as some powerful and mystic creatures who knew things better than the shifters and the witches.

"As far as I know, it did happen without me knowing it."

"How are you feeling?" Grandma Edira asked while looking at Inez. ƒreewebɳovel.com
