Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Just Perfect

"Those are some fascinating words, Alpha Cherith."

Inez stiffened when she heard Killian speaking on the cellphone. Though she was unaware of the content of the call, she didn’t believe that it was anything good. However, even though she was worried, she tried her best to ignore the nervousness that was bubbling within her heart.

She turned to look at Selene, who smiled at her with a kind expression. The woman was completely neutral; even though Killian told her that Inez could help her out with the detoxification of the poison of Iris, the woman didn’t show any fluctuations in her mood.

Maybe it had something to do with her being let down too many times.

And in all honesty, Inez didn’t blame her.

The Poison of Iris was not something that could be dealt with just with one’s desire alone.

This poison could be traced back to the eighteenth century and was created by a witch. Though no one knows what kind of grudge the witch held against the shifters, she created a poison that was not only deadly but could also kill a shifter by slowly corroding their internal organs.

What was even more dangerous was that no one could trace the poison when it was administered. Only when it was too late was the poison detected; no wonder Killian was willing to take the risk of bringing her to his pack, all in exchange for her treating his sister.

He must have run out of options.

Inez heaved a sigh and eased her nervous extremities before smiling at Selene. She said to her, "We will start then?"

Selene calmly nodded at her as she lay back down on the bed and closed her eyes. When Inez saw her trust in her, she couldn’t help but feel a bit touched. After being stared at by nothing but distrust, Selene’s vulnerable belief in her was like a breath of fresh air.

By the time Inez finished, three hours had already passed. Selene had long fallen asleep, and her breathing had evened out. Inez, on the other hand, looked extremely pale and weak. She had expected this to happen as she was only part siren.

And an unskilled one at that.

"How is it?" Killian had finished his call and was waiting for Inez to finish.

He frowned when the woman turned to look at him with an extremely washed-off pallor. He heard her say, "I am still a novice when it comes to healing a person. I can handle normal poisons, but this is a highly concentrated and dangerous one."

"So, you can’t clear it?"

"Not for now," Inez was not dishonest. "I can continue to read more about the poison, and maybe one day I will learn a skill strong enough to clear this poison. For the time being, I will be honest with you—I can only stabilise her poison."
