Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17: Won’t let us down

"You are willing?" Inez took a double take. She didn’t honestly believe that Scarlet would take this risk for her. No matter how good their relationship was, if she helped her run away, things could become messy for her.

Scarlet was a passionate shifter who had her own codes on which she functioned. She also lived a quirky yet quiet life and Inez didn’t want to mess it up for her.

Her sister rolled her eyes at her and threw the cotton ball that was now a glaring shade of red. "Of course, I am willing, and yes, I know the risks of helping you," she added when she saw Inez open her mouth to say something, most probably to warn her of the things that could happen after she helped her escape.

But Scarlet was willing to take that chance because Inez living a life like that of a punching bag was not acceptable to her. Since she was a child, she had been out of tune with the rest of the female shifters. She didn’t do frilly dresses and hooking up with high-ranking shifter males, which often made her mother wonder if she had carried the wrong child back.

It was Inez who gave her the confidence and told her that she could do whatever she wanted because it was her own life. And not once had Inez subtly delivered a backhanded comment to her with the attitude of—Oh, I am doing it for your own good.

"You know better than anyone that living here will only break you even further. Those men, I don’t know what’s wrong with them but they will not stop Nessie. I told you this three years ago and I will tell this again to you, I would rather have you live somewhere far from here than see you broken and dead in a casket."

Scarlet stared at her with anger and concern vibrating from her. She stated, "I know the risks and I don’t give a flying fuck about them because you matter more. If getting whipped one or two times gives me the fucking relief that my sister is out of there, somewhere, and is freaking alive and living her own life—then I will take it."

Her words brought a relief that Inez didn’t even know she could feel. She closed her eyes and leaned against Scarlet, who didn’t even need her to say anything. She embraced Inez and said to her, "You have done more than enough for me, Nessie. If not for you and Cian, I might not be even here. So, let me protect you this time around."

Inez didn’t argue with that. Even her wolf conceded with Scarlet. They needed to get out of this pack because that was what they needed desperately. Staying here, watching Dominic hug and kiss Eve, was something that neither Inez nor her wolf could forgive or accept.

And working for Eve and letting her take credit for their hard work was even more impossible.

The two sisters planned for the entire night before they finally came up with a plan. Scarlet was in charge of driving Inez’s truck to her friend’s garage in the name of leaving it for service after the stunt that Luca pulled on it, while Inez was responsible for going on with her day as usual.

She would go to the meeting and then hand in the minutes of the meeting to Eve while submitting her resignation to Dominic. As for whether or not he would approve of it, Inez didn’t care because she was ready to run away in the night.

With Scarlet calling a few of her friends to take them to the party, Inez was going to head over to the club and then slip away in the middle of the night. Though it was dangerous, Inez felt her wolf’s delight and relief at getting away from this pack.
