Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257: You Owe Me Your Life

"Nothing. I am waiting for Selene to arrive," replied Killian as he dropped his hands to his sides. He shot her a smile when he noticed the frown between his eyes.

Inez leaned against the frame of the door; with her arms crossed, she said to him, "I don’t know how to say this without sounding bitchy. But thats not what I wanted to ask... never mind, why is Selene coming here? I am fine."

Killian got to his feet and, as he marched past her, she heard him say, "I know. But she is worried. She blames herself for what happened last night. Sel asked me to stay with you until she arrives; she wants to check up on you. I will stay until she gets here, or else she will throw a hissy fit. And I, too, don’t want to leave you alone. Not when you are not one hundred per cent."

Well, Inez was quite grateful that the man was looking after her, but she couldn’t help but bristle when she heard his words. Her nostrils flared, as she didn’t like how Killian was making it sound like it was his fault that this incident happened. "That is not necessary. I am fine. I know what happened last night was something really crazy and dangerous, but hey, I survived it. You don’t need to make it sound like I nearly died."

"You would have died if Tracy hadn’t stepped in." Annoyed that she had even brought the matter, Killian turned to look at Inez with his eyes flashing wolf. He pressed the button of the coffeemaker and said to her, "You know who I am. What I am to you. You cannot expect me to tuck the incident at the back of my mind and act as if there is nothing wrong because there is no way I can do that."

"Someone under my protection. Someone whom I care about was almost kidnapped. Do you think that I can go on about my day as if it never happened?" he questioned.

No, she understood what he was trying to say—and that was when it hit her. "You are trying to track the man on your own. The one who sent the witch?"

"Yes, I am going to fix my fuckup."

"What fuckup?"

Inez couldn’t even believe that she was hearing this.

"I should have kept a closer eye on you when I knew that Dominic and that woman who is with him came to the territory. I didn’t, and you paid for it. That’s never going to happen."

As if Inez could have stopped Selene. That woman might be poisoned, but she was still a lycan, and lycans were a force of nature that Inez would never fight against.

Killian disappeared down the hallway, and Inez turned to pick up the coffee mug. Of course, she eyed his arse as he moved. What? Just because she couldn’t do anything didn’t mean that she couldn’t even enjoy the sight.

Sipping her coffee, she heard Selene’s voice. The woman was speaking about something with Killian in a rapid-fire manner. Though Inez was glad that the woman was slowly regaining her momentum, she hoped that Selene spoke at a pace that was a bit understandable for her.

Soon, Selene was pushed into the kitchen by Laxus, and even though the woman was in a wheelchair, there was something about her personality that filled the entire room.

"Ah, it seems like I was right," said Selene with a smile. "Laxus here said to me that you might still be sleeping, but I told him no. You are strong, so it’s impossible for you to be asleep till now." Selene stopped in front of her and took her hand. "You are fine now, right?"
