Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216: Being Watched (2)

Inez wondered what this gift was that Carlos spoke of so highly. It seemed like the gift that Nyx had arranged for Morrineth was nothing simple; she then thought of the aromatherapy system that she had brought for the woman in the hope that she would stay in a better mood all day long. It seemed like she was about to get severely outshone later on, not that she had any hope of making that woman happy.

Nyx, on the other hand, smiled at the man, quite happy with the attention and the words that he had said to her. She said to him, "You better stay the night, Carlos. I don’t want anything going wrong with the gift, you know, with how things could turn out badly later on. You can go back once my mom has opened the gift. That way you can stay here and attend the party; you know how much Kill despises having people from the council in the territory." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Carlos smiled without showing any hint of irritation.

Realising that the two would have enough fun with their company alone, Inez turned on her feet and walked out of the building.

Once she left, Carlos, who was staring at her with a look of adoration earlier, scoffed. He turned to look at Nyx and then offered her a sweet, simpering smile. "Who was the woman from earlier? Why were you standing with a latent of all people, Nyx?"

"Isn’t it amusing to be kind to those who would die for just a shred of kindness?" Nyx asked with a smile on her lips. Her eyes then went around the perimeter of the building, and she glanced at the truck that was standing at the end of the path. "I hope the goods are in order? Even if that thing is old and used... I would expect nothing less than the finest experience."

Carlos smiled back at the woman before saying to her, "You don’t need to worry about it, Nyx. I told you... Even if I have to do something illegal, I will make sure that you get what you want without a hitch. Thus, you don’t need to worry about anything."

Upon hearing the words of the man, Nyx smiled sweetly. She could almost imagine the look of surprise on the face of her mother when she would see her gift. And the thought alone filled her with glee as she started to anticipate the time of the party because there were things that she was looking forward to happening. Firstly, she had arranged a super rare gift for her mother that should make her mother look at her differently. Secondly, Selene—she would definitely wear the dress that she had given to her, and even if she didn’t, then she would wear something that was old and out of fashion. The thought of others looking at Selene like that and mocking her brought a smile to Nyx’s face.

The only flaw was Inez; if she had known that the woman would snatch the attention that belonged to her, she would have thought of a way to handle her as well but then again, she was a latent. With her identity as troubled as that, what could that woman even do?

And there was this feeling like someone was watching her all the time. She turned and looked behind her, but there was absolutely nothing that was standing behind her, and yet the prickling sensation was only getting more and more intense. It made her feel jumpy and troubled and annoyed.

"Fuck," Inez cursed as she ran her hand through her hair. Her siren wanted Killian to be with them; his absence was only fuelling their anger and frustration. Inez closed the door behind her. She didn’t say anything, nor did she look behind. It was nothing; she was being paranoid. Killian had asked Third Eye to rewrite the protective sigils all over the pack territory again. There were new devices purchased and bought to keep the witches away.

The pack was safe. She was safe.

But a trickle of fear continued to climb up her spine when she thought of how there was a traitor in the pack. What if that traitor did something? Like letting a witch inside the pack? But one would have noticed the break in the defences, right? It had to make a sound of alarm? Right? Right?
