Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 126

Chapter 126: On a Hit List

Scarlet burst out laughing. She pointedly said to Ricky, "Aww, are you worried?"

"This is not funny," Ricky growled. "Inez has been gone for weeks. If this continues, I am afraid that we might never see her again." he paused and added, "And I believe that Dominic regrets it just as much. Haven’t you seen him? There are shadows under his eyes."

"Well, there were wounds under Inez’s clothes, and I never saw any of you worrying about it," remarked Scarlet with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

"Scarlet—"

"Leave it." Scarlet’s smile dropped, and it turned into a scowl as she said to Ricky, "Firstly, I don’t know where Inez is. And secondly, even if I did, I would never tell you or anyone else where she is. Because you know what? After what you and the rest have done to her, there is no such thing as a second chance. So tell your master to kindly fuck off."

Scarlet twisted on her feet as she dropped those words and headed out of the room without looking behind her. As soon as she opened the door, she ran into Maria, who was eavesdropping right outside of the door of her room. When Scarlet saw her mother, she rolled her eyes and walked past her.

Maria chased right after her, and while fumbling with her words, she said to Scarlet, "Scar, you have to tell me where your sister is... she is not safe outside, believe me."

"And she is safe here?" Scarlet didn’t pause as she picked up her jacket from the rack and threw it around her shoulders. She tugged it close and then turned to look at her mother, who was teetering on the verge of saying something. "She isn’t. Is she?"

After she finished speaking, Scarlet was about to leave when —

"She is a part siren."

All actions ceased to exist at that very moment. Scarlet turned around and looked at her mother in shock. She whispered, "What did you say?"

"Inez—she....she is a siren," Maria spoke. Her voice was barely above a whisper as she choked on her sobs. "I—I told her to never tell her identity to anyone. But I never thought that she would one day run away from the pack. I am... oh, I am so worried, Scarlet. What if someone finds out the truth about her identity... I dislike her, but she is my daughter in the end. I can’t... I don’t want her to die. Please tell me where she is—I am worried."

She wrung her apron and added with tearful eyes, "Especially with the continuous disappearance of the rare and unique skills shift. I am worried sick out of my mind —every night I wonder if those witches caught Inez."

Scarlet stared at her mother. She waited for the woman to say something, anything that would tell her that this was just a lie, but when she didn’t, Scarlet strode inside and came to stand in front of her mother.

"Are you fucking crazy?" Scarlet hissed. Her voice was so low that no one other than them could hear it. "You hid such important information from everyone?" If she had known that Inez was a siren, she would have thought of something else. Scarlet wondered if this was the reason why Inez had always been on the edge with this family.
