Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Would you help me run away?

Luca stared at her before bursting out in a hearty chortle. "You cannot be serious. Its impossible for you to leave the pack, Inez. You will die the second you lose the protection of the pack."

He was right. If Inez were to leave the pack, she would only have two options left in front of her. Either join another pack or live in the human world.

Joining another pack was not easy, especially if you were discarded or a runaway from your old pack. And living in the human world was even more difficult. After all, in the eyes of humans, shifters were nothing but demonic entities that needed to be burnt on a stake.

If her identity was ever found, Inez was certain that the humans would give there all to kill her. And to top it all, the Zealots were getting more active now than ever.

They were a fraction who believed that shifters didn’t belong in their world and had no right to live and breathe in their society. These people targeted the lone shifters and killed them in the worst possible way to create a sensation and fear in the shifters and among their community.

Of course, there was also the option of turning rogue. But Inez knew she couldn’t leave as a rogue—wasn’t this the reason why she had stayed in this pack for three years even though she had been treated worse than the omegas of the pack?

But now that the situation had gotten this severe because of her lack of action, Inez wondered whether there was any point in staying here. She didn’t want to die but was she even alive if she was living like this?

"You don’t have to worry about that," Inez remarked as she opened the door of the truck. "This was what you wanted anyway, right?"

Her tone was casual, as if she couldn’t be bothered with her own life and death.

Luca stared at her and felt a sense of unease.

However, he couldn’t understand the reason for this unease. He should be glad that they had broken Inez the way they wanted. She was now craving death, and this was exactly what their goal had been from the start; he should be recording this moment and sending it to Dominic so that they could party in the evening.

But he couldn’t.

He caught hold of Inez’s wrist and pulled her back.

"You have lost your mind, Inez," he rumbled, incredulous. "Living in the pack is better than going out of the pack and getting yourself killed."

His words caused laughter to spill out of her lips. She looked at him and chortled, "Its not me who has lost her mind. Its you."

She turned to look at him and deadpanned, "The rogues would be kinder to me than you all have been, Luca. I don’t know what the fuck I did to you all but you should be fucking happy right now. Imagine breaking someone to the point that they would start believing that dying is a much better option than living."
