Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 314

Chapter 314: Secrets Unveiling (2)

The prison stank of damp stone and rust, but Inez could hardly notice anything other than the darkening sky and the silence. The thick and pressing silence, only broken by Scarlet’s occasional restless sighs. Inez could already imagine how worried Killian might be due to her sudden disappearance. She wanted to tell him that she was fine, other than getting trapped in this rotten prison. But with the shifter restraints, she couldn’t reach him, not unless she found a way to break the chains that were holding her shifter abilities back.

"Staying awake is not going to help. You might as well accept your fate and just wait for the day when you will be executed," came the words from the man in the next cell.

Inez turned to look at him, but she couldn’t see him clearly as the man was now hidden in the shadows. She wanted to snap at the enigma of a man, but something held her back. It was as if she knew that she couldn’t hurt this man...

Deciding upon civility, she ignored the annoyance in her heart.

"It is a good thing that you have stopped making a fuss. You two were acting so foolishly that I thought I was going to see a live show of voyeurism. Not that I would have disliked the show; it has been many years since I saw anything good," the man laughed as if he found everything that was happening to Inez and Scarlet amusing.

"Why are you even locked up in here?" Inez asked. She didn’t see how this man, who seemed way too jolly, was involved in any crime that would lead him to be locked up in prison. "Were you also accused of doing something that you didn’t do?"

"Haha, do I look that innocent? This is my first time hearing someone say such a thing to me," the man laughed. Several seconds passed, and the man didn’t say anything. Just as Inez thought that the man had lapsed into silence, the sound of someone crawling echoed in the prison cell next to her, and a second later, the man came to sit against the bars of the cell. His dark eyes stared at Inez, eyes that gleamed with secrets too heavy to carry.

Scarlet pressed close to Inez. She whispered softly, "Don’t believe anything he says... I think he is half mad."

Inwardly, Inez agreed with her. But they were not going anywhere for the time being, not until the half-vampire came looking for them.

So why not listen to the story of this man?

"I tried to bring my mate from the dead... I used dark magic," he turned his gaze to look in the direction of the two sisters. "I allowed a witch to trespass on my pack lands and massacre the members of the pack. I watched them die right in front of me. In exchange, I wanted the witch to bring my mate back to life, but she only brought her corpse back to life. So I killed the witch; unfortunately, that only added more to my crimes, as I violated the treaty with the eyewitnesses around. She ran to a human settlement, you see? If I had done it secretly, no one would have found out anything. I was too big of a fool."

"Why did you kill them?" Scarlet asked, despite being the one who asked Inez to stay clear-headed.
