Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228: She was His (2)

Realising that she couldn’t raise a riot without a proper reason, Inez pursed her lips and walked toward the corner from where she felt the murderous intent flood toward her. Her heels clicked on the marble floor as she slowly waded through the crowd of people, her eyes staring at the pillar that was partly hidden in the darkness.

The closer she got to the pillar, the more Inez felt like a child who was trying to head down the stairs of the basement, which was always covered in darkness. Every step that she took made her breathing go even more ragged. Her heart started to beat a little more wildly in her chest, and what was that little twitch?

As she came to a stop in front of the pillar, Inez peered behind it —

CLANG!

She jumped and turned to look in the direction from which the sound came. Her eyes quickly found the source, and she was stumped to see Selene in the middle of the room with a violin in her hands. She wondered what was going on and quickly made her way to where Selene and Killian were; Inez didn’t quite believe that Selene was doing whatever she was doing willingly.

Her eyes quickly darted to the pillar behind her, but even as she walked away, the pillar looked quite normal. Cold and steady like it always was.

Was she thinking too much? Maybe she was too paranoid due to the presence of so many shifters in the same room.

"You really didn’t have to push her like that," Inez heard Edira say when she neared her and Killian. "Why didn’t you stop Morrineth when she agreed with the other shifters? No matter what, Sel is not someone whom they can ask for entertainment."

"Precisely the reason I asked her to go out there and perform," replied Killian. He had his arms crossed and looked at his grandmother, who was still glaring at him. "I know that you hate me for this and think that I pushed her under an out-of-control bus."

"Because that’s what you did!"

"No, I didn’t." Killian sounded tired. Whatever he went through, the past fifteen minutes had exhausted him, and he was running out of his patience; this was something that Inez could sense with ease. "You have seen what they often do, and not—letting them get away with it just because they had said just a few words doesn’t sit right in my dictionary."

"They need to understand that Selene, though poisoned and weak, is not incapable of understanding their words. They better shut their mouths because even if Sel is in a wheelchair, she is a thousand times better than them and will always be."

When Inez walked close to him, she raised her head and looked at him with confusion in her eyes.

"Hey, beautiful," said Killian. His lips curled in a soft smile as he leaned down and pecked her on her lips.

"What’s going on?" Inez asked, looking at the sudden change of plans.

"Nothing," Killian shrugged. He raised his finger and pointed at a pretty blonde who was standing not far from where they were and explained, "Liza suggested that it would be a really nice little piece of entertainment if Sel played a note. And then the bitch had the fucking audacity to claim that Sel might not be able to do it."

Kill him. Rip him apart. He is touching what’s ours.

She is!

She is not. You can see that she looks nothing like Inez, and even her scent is different; even if it were Inez, she could have at most changed her appearance, not her scent.
