Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60: Spies

"You don’t say," Morrineth gushed as she picked up the vial that held the siren’s tears. She shook the vial lightly and noticed the shimmery fumes that were trapped inside the vial in the shape of a smoky pearl. "Where did you get this from?"

"I asked Madam Palfrey. You know the seer?" said Nyx, while Fenric took the vial from her and studied it carefully. "I visited her the last time because I wanted her to peek into my future."

Fenric turned and looked at her before questioning, "Are you talking about the time when she said that she couldn’t see your future?"

Though seers could see the future, their visions were never accurate. They couldn’t see the vision of a particular person just because they were asked to. Their vision was always abrupt and random. Thus, it was almost impossible for them to see the future of a person just because they requested it.

When Nyx heard the comment of her brother, she pursed her lips. Her smile nearly fell off, but she held it back and replied, "That’s right. The very same seer." She then turned to look at her mother and tried to gain her attention once again. "Madam Palfrey was quite upset because she couldn’t help me. You know I am always helping her with her shop and everything else?"

"So, she asked me if there was something that I wanted. That’s when I recalled that you mentioned that you wanted the siren’s tears, Mom." Nyx lied as she tried to make her mother look at her with more affection and love. The truth was that she had to literally beg the seer to get her hands on these siren tears, all because she wanted her mother’s love.

Just one loving gaze would be enough.

However, Nyx was destined to be disappointed, as Morrineth’s attention was on the siren tears, and she never once looked at her daughter.

Seeing this, Nyx couldn’t help but prod her mother lightly. She asked her mother, "Well, do you like the gift, mother? I bought them as a birthday gift."

Only then did Morrineth pay a fleeting glance to her daughter. She said, "It is indeed a wonderful gift, Nyx. Thank you so much; I will make sure to use it well." Morrineth was healthier than any other shifter in the pack, but she still couldn’t help but feel happy when she saw the siren’s tears.

As a woman who cherished her life, how could she not be happy upon receiving such a gift?

She then sighed and said with a light-hearted voice, "It would have been better if only I had had such a precious thing in my hands when Lyra met with that unfortunate accident. If I had these tears in my possession back then, I am sure that my daughter would have survived that tragic accident. What a shame!"

Nyx had been waiting for her mother to praise her for getting something so rare and precious. But when she heard her mourn the loss of Lyra, even when she was right in front of her, doing everything that she could to gain the recognition that should have been hers to begin with, Nyx couldn’t help but clench her fingers tightly.

Fenric, on the other hand, couldn’t help but chuckle. He said to his sister, "It seems like no matter what you do, you will never be able to fight against Lyra?"
