Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Brewing Trouble

"You do?" Killian arched a brow as he had never anticipated such an answer from her.

"Yes, I do. You gave me a place to stay even though you heard the rumours flying around me," said Inez. She patted Ruth, who was clinging to her. "I am not a fool; I can see who is being genuinely kind to me and who is not."

"And yet you do not trust me enough to tell me why and how Dominic treated you?"

An emotion flickered across her face, but it was gone too quickly for Killian to identify what it was.

"Will you tell me why you hide your real substance? You have so much anger and blame packed in thick ice that it’s terrifying, and yet you present yourself as a slick charmer who is nothing but an open book. You have so much potential, and yet you are wasting it away. Why?" She shot back. As she had expected, he closed down. Her laugh was empty of humour. "See? Unless you are willing to share your secrets, don’t try to poke your nose into mine."

Perversely, Killian had to admit that her defiance amused him just as much as it did his beast. Inez Sinclair might be broken, but she still had some fight left in her. And Killian respected that, even if it made him annoyed that she was not giving him the answers that he wanted.

"Very well. Don’t think about running," Killian said to her. "Even if you try to run away, I assure you, my enforcer and I will track you down in a matter of seconds." After all, her scent seemed to be designated to fucking tantalise him and his beast.

Inez rolled her eyes at him. "Let me assure you that if at any point I wanted to leave, then I would walk right in front of your eyes."

"Like you did to Dominic?" Killian arched his brow.

Inez smiled at him with a hint of ferocity. "Believe it or not. I did tell him that I was walking out; he was the one who never believed me."

Killian’s lips curled up. "I should have known." With that, he spun on his heel and strode away, taking Ruth with him.

Once he was gone, Inez exhaled a shaky breath. Being so close to Killian was really hard. It was nearly impossible for her to keep her composure when all he was doing was existing, and yet somehow he pulled all kinds of sexual reactions from her body, which alarmed her.

And what was up with Dominic? When she was right in front of him, that man wanted nothing more than for her to die. That too, a death that was simply inhuman. Now that she was out of his hair, why was he looking for her? Was he really trying to corner her?

Inez felt she could no longer understand Dominic. She had once prided herself on knowing that man better than anyone, but then again, her belief came crumbling when that man had her kneel in front of the entire pack years ago.

The next morning, Inez kept her head held high as she walked into the main lodge. She wanted to stay in her own lodge, but Inez didn’t want the rest of the shifters to think that she was scared of them. Sending out such a message would only cause trouble for her.

She wasn’t going to have them thinking she was spineless. Shifters pounced at the smallest sight of weakness.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
