Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74: Not As Easy

"Thank you," Selene said to Inez when they were done with the treatment. She moved her wrist and smiled softly when she realised that she could move her hands without feeling excruciating pain. "I feel much better than I usually do."

"This is what I should do," Inez replied, as she didn’t feel like she had done anything special. And she indeed thought that she was not doing anything worth the praise or the gratitude. She was only repaying Killian for giving her a place in his pack when everyone had refused to let her in.

It was a deal with each of them getting what they wanted; Inez felt it would be too shallow if she let it get to her head.

"That’s really sweet of you," Selene remarked. Her eyes, which had softened, turned a little stern as she questioned, "I wonder if you are getting along with the pack members? I hope that no one is causing you any trouble after the fiasco at the dining area?"

"I don’t usually get involved with the pack members," Inez replied as she poured herself a glass of water. "I stick to my lodge most of the time."

Selene nodded when she heard her response. She softly murmured, "I think that this is better; at least you will be safe."

"Safe?" Inez repeated. Her heart couldn’t help but suddenly clench when she heard Selene’s remark. What did Selene mean by saying she would stay safe?

However, before Selene could reply, someone knocked on the door. Both of the women turned to look at the man who was standing at the threshold of the door.

"Are you done?" Laxus asked. "Killian has called for another meeting, and he is asking everyone to come to the pack hall."

"We are done," Inez replied. Suppressing the curiosity in her heart as well as her thudding heartbeat, Inez stepped aside as Laxus walked over to the bed and helped Selene into the wheelchair, but he did pause and look at her in confusion when he heard her thumping heartbeat.

"You alright?" he asked, sensing that there was something amiss with Inez. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Yeah." Inez nodded as she walked out of the room. The wan smile that she had given to Laxus fell off her lips as she started to walk out of the lodge. What was going on? Was her life in danger? Inez’s thoughts were consumed by what Selene had said to her, and she couldn’t understand what she meant by those words.

However, her thoughts came to a cease when she entered the pack hall. The second she walked inside, Inez felt Killian look up at her. And the second he looked at her, Inez was certain that she was going to become a pool of nothing but heated desire.

There was something so intense and gripping about his look that she couldn’t explain.

And it would have felt a lot better if something had not been bugging her.

She raised her head and turned to look at Ally, who was glaring at her with just as intense animosity.

"Why?!"

"Because she has a brain?" Killian offered innocently. "It’s a plus that she can read and write, Al. Don’t glare at me like that; I wasn’t the one who asked you to get an F in all your tests." He added, causing Ally’s cheeks to flush red.

"Alright." Selene, who entered the pack hall with Laxus, glanced at the table that was full of toddlers trapped in adult bodies. She said, "I think that you should be telling us what we were called here for, Kill."

"Matt here was about to tell us how useless he is," Killian pointed to the man who was typing behind the screen while cursing in a rapid-fire manner. "It has been an entire day, and he couldn’t even break through a single firewall."

Matt looked even more annoyed than Killian. He raised his head and looked at the man who was speaking for him. "What I do is not as simple as you think it is. Okay? This website is not simple. It has encryptions all over the place, and not to mention, there is some magic also at play. I am trying to deal with it. But I need a curse breaker. Do you even know how many times I have gone to the restroom because my stomach felt uneasy?"

"See, useless?" Killian offered innocently.

Matt only scowled at him.
