Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127: On A Hit List (2)

Inez frowned as she took another look at the form. She said to Killian, "I thought that my job was to treat Selene?"

"And you are doing a fine job at it, but you also need a backup, don’t you? You cannot stay a healer of the pack for your whole life, can you? I am not against it, but staying as the healer of the pack means that your secret will come out sooner or later," explained Killian. "It’s better to get another job that you can use as a feint. At least we can tell the pack members that you lost your powers while treating Selene. That way, no one will find out that you are a siren."

As much as Inez liked his suggestion, the thought of facing Evelyn and Dominic again just didn’t feel right.

She pursed her lips and wanted to refuse, but then she heard Killian say, "Are you going to put your life on hold because of Dominic?" Though there was no aggression in his voice, Inez could hear the challenge in his tone.

With a furrow between her brows, she turned to look at the man. "What do you mean by that?"

"You know what I meant, Inez." Killian pushed himself off the counter and looked at Inez with a hint of a dark glint in his eyes. "This competition is the breakthrough that you have been waiting for, or are you going to stay quiet and let Evelyn continue taking credit for your hard work?"

"How do you—"

"How do I know? If a word about that woman being the owner of those artistic designs that she had presented in these competitions, then I would eat a rat... and believe me, they don’t taste good."

His words brought a smile to Inez’s face, who looked at Killian with a touch of softness in her gaze.

"So?" he waved his hand in front of her and questioned, "Are you going to join the competition or not?"

Unable to resist his bugging, Inez closed the folder that he had brought for her and said to him, "Fine. I will join since you want me to join it so much."

Killian chuckled. Even though Inez didn’t show it on her face, from the childish glint in her eyes, he knew that she was happy.

His eyes flickered as he took in her appearance. "You look sick." Her complexion was pale, and she looked like she was on the verge of fainting.

"It’s nothing," she waved her hand and said to Killian in a calm voice, "It must be because I am more vulnerable to sickness with my wolf going into hiding." This was the flaw of being a half being. Though it came with the advantage of using the power and attributes of both kinds, it also made them twice as vulnerable because being a halfling meant that she needed her wolf and siren to coexist.

If even one of them went out of balance, everything would end up falling off the scale.
