Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 227

Chapter 227: She was His

The man stared at Inez, who in turn was trying her best to suppress the gleeful smile that was threatening to break over her lips. She patted Jules on the back and turned to look at the man before quirking up a brow. She asked, "Is there something else that you would like to say to us? Though I don’t have time to waste, I will humour you."

"Excuse me?" The man spluttered in surprise, and Inez humoured him by shooting him a look of mock amusement and pity.

"You are excused; now off you go," she told the man. "The next time you see a drunk woman. You leave her alone; don’t try to shoot your shot just because you think you can mark her."

The man stared at her, and Inez stared right back. Though she was without a wolf, she still had her siren with her, and she clenched her fingers and willed the powers of the sea within her before putting more force in her voice and repeated, "Go."

Only then did the man turn around on his feet and walk away. Inez watched him go and felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her. As she was not aware of how to control her abilities and power as a siren, she used way more aether than was necessary. Because Inez couldn’t control her aether carefully, she got exhausted sooner and more quickly every time she used her siren skills.

Tearing her gaze away from the man who was walking away, Inez called for Ajax. She didn’t want to have him disturbed when he was clearly having a good time with Nyx; she had no other option either. Though she knew all the enforcers in the pack, she had shared a few words with Ajax alone. Thus, Inez felt it made sense for her to call Ajax, as Laxus was never going to leave Selene’s side.

Inez was not used to calling anyone through the pack bond, nor had she ever used the pack bond. But she still unblocked the channel and softly, with a rather tentative voice, called, ’Ajax?’

His response was almost immediate.

’Inez?’

’Yeah, it’s me. There is a little thing that I need your help with. Can you come to look for me? I am near the door.’

There was a short pause, and Inez thought that she might have lost the connection with Ajax, but two seconds later, he replied in a dazed sort of voice, ’I got it. I am coming.’

Inez heaved a sigh of relief before turning to look at Jules, who was still blabbering. At first, she was only talking about something foolish like bubble tea, but then the topic diverted, and she was sobbing about a dog that she found near her home, but couldn’t keep because one of the guards took it away and wouldn’t give it to her.

"I mean... I am his boss; why won’t he listen to me?" sniffled Juels.

Inez offered her a tissue before saying to Jules, "Don’t cry. I believe that things will get better very soon."

"You are really kind for that—"

The sound of footsteps snapped her attention to the front, and Inez heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Ajax walking over. She didn’t know, but something about his tall, burly profile was rather — how should she explain it? Warm? Protective? Anyway, he made her feel all warm, fuzzy and safe.

"I am not saying that she is; I am saying that she is like one," corrected Ajax, and Inez shot out her foot to kick the man. But he simply chortled and walked away with Jules leaning against his body.

Inez watched him go and scoffed.

However, Inez didn’t have the time to think things through. With Ajax, she knew that Jules was going to stay safe, but she was not sure about herself. The uneasy feeling, that subtle yet cold prickle, hadn’t disappeared. If anything, Inez could feel it getting even more intense. It was as if someone was looking at her through a hidden corner or something of the sort.

It made her skin crawl.

Inez wanted to tell about this to someone, but what was she supposed to say?

Hi, I don’t know whether this is a bit silly or not, but I have a feeling that someone is watching me. Oh, no? I didn’t see anyone glaring at me or anything. I just have a feeling that someone is looking at me.

Even in her head, these words sounded seriously stupid.
