Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Savoring The Little Victory (2)

"You are lying." Evelyn’s eyes bugged and her cheeks turned purple. Though she didn’t lose her temper like usual, Inez knew that it was only because the woman was used to acting as a fragile damsel in distress. If the two of them were somewhere more private, Evelyn would have lunged for her throat by now.

"I am not." Inez’s voice was calmer than a stagnant pond. She looked at Evelyn’s eyes, which were wider than the saucers and said to her, "I truly did resign from my post. How do you feel? Happy? I think you do. After all, you went through all that song and dance to get Dominic into your bed. What?"

Inez gasped. "Don’t tell me you thought I signed the contract?"

Evelyn bit her lower lip. She indeed thought that Inez had signed the contract again. When she had called Dominic and asked about it, the man had told her not to worry about it. She thought that it was a given that Inez had signed it.

But now this bitch was telling her that she hadn’t signed it. What would become of her reputation now?

"You bitch—"

"Tsk, tsk," Inez waved a finger in the air and remarked, "We are in public, sweetie. You cannot curse like that in here. If Dominic or the boys hear you calling me a bitch, what will they think? Wouldn’t they be upset that their damsel in distress has been lying to them all along?"

That sapped most of her energy out as Evelyn looked around and when she didn’t find anyone, she turned to look at Inez and muttered angrily, "How could you? How dare you? Do you not —"

"Care about Dominic?" Inez finished for her. She smiled sweetly and stated, "You were right when you used him against me, Evelyn. Indeed, when I saw you clinging to him, I wanted to rip your bloody throat out, but you also need to understand this —"

Inez dropped her smile and continued, "I don’t have the habit of picking up anyone’s sloppy seconds. So the second you got into his pants—BAM! You sealed your future."

"Dominic was my leash, yeah." Inez shrugged before commenting, "But not anymore. So, I think this is goodbye." She smiled when she saw Evelyn’s expression turning uglier than she had ever seen. "I will see you around or not?" Inez pulled the truck out of the parking lot and drove away.

The exhaust fumes that drifted behind made Evelyn cough and sputter as she kicked a pebble on the pavement angrily.

Inez saw everything through the rearview mirror and chortled. For the first time in three years, she felt truly free. She smiled inwardly at how satisfying it had been to watch Evelyn’s reactions as she realised that she couldn’t continue stomping on her head anymore.

"You don’t seem very pleased with me, Alpha Cherith." Killian picked up the cup of coffee and slowly took a sip from it. However, just after taking a sip, he placed the cup down. He couldn’t taste the tea but given the murky colour of the brown liquid, he was quite certain that it didn’t taste exotic.
