Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214: Foolish Pride (2)

Inez closed the books that she had collected. She wondered if she could ever finish the ancient hymns written by the goddess of healing herself. When she picked up the task, she thought, –Oh sure, it’s going to be as easy as eating a little pie. After all, she was a siren; this should be in her blood. Only now did she realise that it wasn’t that simple.

She didn’t feel the tug, nor could she see the aether turning golden whenever she finished writing the lost verses of the hymns. According to the book, the aether—the very soul, the mana or the magic within the hymns—was supposed to turn golden if a siren succeeded in writing the correct hymn.

But forget about turning the aether golden; Inez couldn’t even see any fizzle of it till now. No wonder the sirens who tried to rewrite these hymns turned crazy. Because she, too, could see herself walking down the same path. The lost hymns were not just hymns; they were the legacy of sirens – one that every siren dreamed of.

Sighing, she walked down the path. Her eyes flickered as she looked at the white and golden decor. The white flowers were a mix of white peonies, lilies and jasmine. Tall decorative vases sat all over the paths, which were now covered by a golden carpet.

Flashy. This was the first thought that came to Inez’s mind when she saw the many decorative items that were placed all over the pack.

"No, no. Like I told you, I am trying for a more serene...atmosphere, you know? Remove the red ribbons and replace them with golden ones. We need everyone to feel at home," said Nyx with a frown as she quibbled with the man who stood beside her.

The man nodded and said to her, "I will get them down at once, Miss Virella."

Nyx hummed before adding, "Don’t try to make these arrangements different, Mister Hopkins. My mother is going to be fifty, not fifteen. She is not a fucking teenager; if someone saw the decorations getting all flashy, it would look simply wrong on my mother’s part. Not to mention it’s just not her birthday. Edira is celebrating too, you know?"

"Of course, I am really sorry about the mistake made by these idiots. I will arrange only the best for you and the pack. Don’t worry; by the time I am done arranging everything, this place will look like heaven’s entrance to you," promised Mister Hopkins. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Nyx nodded. She was standing at the end of the same path where Inez was coming down from; thus, when she moved her head up, she saw Inez at once. She called, "Inez, I see you are done with the healing sessions. I was worried that you were thinking of keeping yourself cooped up all because you wanted to avoid the party."

Inez suppressed the nagging feeling in the back of her head. After finding out the twisted personality of Nyx, she kept herself away from her. She didn’t understand Nyx and her actions, but at the same time, after watching Morrineth always comparing her to her dead sister Lyra, she had an inkling that Nyx wanted everyone’s attention on herself.

Inez waited for the subtle pang in her heart to appear at the mere thought of the man, but nothing. She felt nothing. Somewhere, she wondered if she was completely broken, but Inez couldn’t care about that man at the moment. If anything, she wondered what Killian was up to at the moment or what he was doing. Or would he look just as deliciously tempting as he did last night when he was thrusting within her? 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
