Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 258

Chapter 258: You Owe Me Your Life (2)

Inez smiled. "Yes."

"I knew you would be," said Selene as she glanced at Laxus, who sighed in response. He turned to look at Inez before saying to her, "I am glad that you are feeling alright, Inez. We were really worried after what happened last night."

"Well, what can I say? I am hard to kill."

Laxus chuckled appreciatively, but he turned silent when he caught the glare that Killian was sending his way and cleared his throat. He turned to look at Selene and said to her, "Do you need me to stay with you?"

"No, I will be fine. I don’t believe that the witches will make a move so soon," remarked Selene as she turned her attention to Inez. "And I believe that we need some girl time. Alone without you men, brooding at the back of our necks."

She paused and turned to look at Killian, who was glowering at them. "And instead of glaring at me, you should be working hard to track down that bastard who tried to kidnap Inez. That would be much more useful than this."

"I never knew that you were this assertive," said Inez, sounding simply awed at Selene’s manner of speaking.

Selene huffed while Killian rolled his eyes. He said to her, "This is just a trailer of what she can do. Just because she has been all docile all these years, people have started to treat her as a kitten. They should have seen what she did to the fox who called her fugly when she was sixteen."

"What did she do?" Inez asked, but before she could get an answer, Selene turned and glared at the man, who shrugged and then said to her, "Well, let’s say...it comprised a teapot, a long pole and a rather agonised fox."

Inez had no idea what the man was even trying to say, but she did try to pretend that she understood what the man said to her. How in the hell did a teapot and a pole even become a means of torture? Maybe she might never even get a chance to know.

"We should go," said Laxus. Having received an answer from Selene, he turned to look at Killian and said to him, "There is no point in waiting any further."

Killian nodded. He walked over to her and kissed her on the forehead before saying to her, "Call me if there is anything that you need to know."

He left after dropping those words.

"I know," Selene agreed with a smile. "My brother knows it somewhere in his heart as well, but with Fenric repeating the same things again and again, Kill had come to believe that maybe he might have never given his all to save Lyra. Even if he didn’t like her, as the better half of her soul, he should have tried better to hold her steady. I say that the mating bond had little to do with the sheer evilness that crawled in her veins instead of blood."

She sighed and said to Inez, "I know that his overprotectiveness might be chafing, but I will ask you to be patient with him. Kill takes protecting those whom he cares about very seriously. So let him do his own thing. He will feel better if he does something about the current situation—and keeping you safe is what will make him a bit more satisfied."

Inez sighed. "I never knew that you were such a good saleswoman. You really know how to turn your brother’s flaws into something nice."

"Lycans are known for being cunning and getting their way." Selene huffed as she set her mug down. "I heard that Evelyn was the one who pushed you off the balcony, and that was how the witch got the opportunity to attack you. From the whispers, it seems like Evelyn was hoodwinked by a witch to do their bidding."

"You mean to say that the witch who attacked me was the reason why Evelyn pushed me off?"

"That’s what Tracy said, but according to her, the remnants of the spell around Evelyn proved that she truly wanted to harm you. The witch at most gave that woman a boost of courage. So there is no need for you to feel sorry about her."
