Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Grieve something that wasn’t dead

Inez smiled mockingly. She didn’t even know what she expected. Her cheek was throbbing but more than that, it was her heart that was hurting. She had been humiliated, embarrassed, and rejected all in one night. But instead of worrying about her, her family held her accountable for losing the opportunity that could have brought them to higher heights.

Even if it meant her pride was used as a tissue to wipe Dominic’s ass.

She took a breath and swallowed hard before saying, "It is a done deal. He rejected me and I accepted it. There is nothing that we can do about it, so you might as well forget it."

Though she said it, Inez felt her wolf whine inside of her. She was weaker than the other dominant wolf, but she was still very much alive in Inez. Thus, when she heard Inez say that they should forget all about Dominic, the wolf couldn’t help but make her presence known.

That she was still grieving and forgetting was not on her agenda.

Inez didn’t blame her wolf. Every shifter dreamed of that moment when they would find their true mate. Inez had too. She had envisioned several and multiple scenarios but she had never once imagined a scenario where her mate would hate her guts and would rather kiss a stinky, two-faced bitch than accept her.

Every vision that she had of her true mate had been killed and brutally snatched from her. It just evaporated like smoke. And the reason? Inez didn’t even know of it. She just knew that Dominic hated her. And God, she hated him for that too.

How could he hate her? When she had never once done a thing that would let him down. Yet he looked her in the eye and told her that she had backstabbed him.

She should have stabbed him with a pitchfork when they were children and as much as her wolf was mourning the loss of their mate, she growled at that idea in appreciation. Because somewhere beneath the pain, she was stung and angry at the rejection.

In her heart—deep down in her heart, she and her wolf knew that this was nothing but the ultimate betrayal on Dominic’s part.

"This is not up to you!" Inez heard the hysterical shout of her mother. Her eyes were wildly flickering as Maria said to her, "I will go and talk with the ex-alpha; he—he cannot do it; how can he?"

Inez didn’t stop her mother. Because she knew that no matter what Maria did now, it wasn’t going to change anything. She had been chasing after Dominic for six months but the man had never given her the answer that she had been looking for.

That man could be colder and quieter than a corpse if he wanted and it would have been good if he was dead because, at least that way, Inez didn’t have to grieve over something that wasn’t dead.

Her mother left the room and so did Ricky, but not before shooting her a disgusted glare. He was her brother; he should be standing next to her but god, he was an arsehole to even think things through his head and not his ass.

"Are you okay?" Scarlet looked at Inez, whose left side of the cheek was swelling really badly. Seeing the pain in the eyes of her sister, Scarlet asked, "Why don’t you leave the pack, Nessie? How long are you going to suffer like this?"

And honestly, for the first time, Inez asked the same question as well.

"You are in for trouble," a woman with her hair dyed in silver dye walked over to Inez’s cubicle and dumped a stack of old files. "It seems like you really pissed off, Alpha Dom, last night."
