Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123: Warmth Of A Pack

"Do you want to go back to your lodge?" Killian asked just as he ushered the rest of the pack to return to their lodges and leave Inez alone.

Inez closed her eyes and then sighed before saying, "Stop, there is no need for you to be this nice to me."

"Why?"

"Because it’s weird."

Killian curled his lips and remarked, "I never thought that you were into such tendencies. You like it when I am being sarcastic with you?"

Inez turned to look at the man. She pinned him with a harsh glare and said to him, "I am still the same woman who is rumoured to have stolen Eve’s hard work, the same one who was chased out of her pack, the same person whom you brought to your pack for saving your sister. I don’t think anything changed."

"Your pack members might be feeling grateful toward me, but sooner or later, they will forget about it."

"You don’t need to tell me this; I already know these things." Killian sighed. He then reached out and touched the wound on Inez’s neck. "Do you feel pain in your neck?"

"I do," Inez replied with a frown as she touched the bandage on her neck. "However, I don’t recall getting injured on my neck." As far as she knew, she did receive an injury on her back and not her neck.

Killian’s expression became subtle. "It might be because of Ally. Selene said that she snuck inside your room and tried to kill you." He paused and added, "However, she did say that Ally was not her usual self when she attacked you."

"You mean to say that she was possessed?" Inez offered surprising the lycan. He raised his brows and asked, "How do you know that she was possessed?"

Inez scrunched up her nose and said, "She and I might hate one another on a daily basis, but I also know her well enough to know that she could never do something so bold as killing someone."

When Killian heard her response, he was quite surprised. As he thought that Inez would have used this opportunity to send Ally away from the pack, but it seemed like the woman didn’t hold grudges for long. As if she realised what he was thinking, Inez curled her lips and said to him, " Did you think that I would ask you to punish Ally? I might dislike her, but I will never do something like that. I know how it feels when your pack starts hating you for something you didn’t even do."

She wouldn’t wish what happened to her on anyone else, for Inez knew how it felt. Ally would never dare to kill her, especially not with her pack bond at risk. The fact that she did it could only mean that she was under the influence of something else. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

It made Inez wonder if she had made her way into the red book of a witch.

With a sigh, she raised her head and looked at Killian, who was smiling at her with a knowing look in his eyes.

"What?"

"It’s nothing. You are quite a kind woman, aren’t you, bubbles?"

Inez was almost overwhelmed by the sudden care of the enforcers, and Killian had to step in between as he looked at his enforcers and said, "Alright, everyone back down."

Everyone followed his orders, but they stayed around her. It was weird. Because, as far as Inez knew, she had done much more dangerous things at the Venus pack, and no one had treated her with so much care and affection. They all took it as if it were something that Inez was supposed to do, and she too thought the same.

Finn stepped in front and looked at Inez. He said to her, "You have done a great favor for our pack; no matter what you need or want, just say the word."

Inez wanted to tell him that there was no need for them to treat her like she had saved Selene from the brink of death, but before she could, Killian placed his hand on the small of her back and then pushed her slightly. He said to the rest of the pack, "Now that you all have seen her, she needs to leave."

As the two of them walked past the pack, Inez heard Selene say, "Expect a lot of visits!"

"I will be coming for the roasted chicken," called out Ajax.

"And don’t forget the cookies!" Levi shouted.

The only one who had something bad to say about the entire situation was Fernric, who glared at Killian and snarled at him. "You really didn’t deserve her, Killian. You really didn’t!" He turned his head and glared at Inez with the same hatred as Killian, just as Morrineth stifled a sob and chased after her son.
