Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 124: Irony

"That was weird," Inez remarked as she entered her lodge. She was not used to such affectionate behaviour,

especially when her own mother made it a mission to make her realise how difficult it was to love her.

"Was it?" Killian followed her inside and glanced at the woman who plopped down on the couch, with her head

thrown back. He watched Inez as she twisted her neck slightly to the side and looked at him with a hint of

annoyance in her eyes. "Yeah, it was, and why are you here? Shouldn't you be busy with your alpha stuff?"

"Alpha stuff?"

"Yeah, you know, the boring, usual day-to-day activities that you go through?" Inez offered with a sweet smile. "I

bet you have more important things than to worry about me?"

Killian arched a brow as he strode to where she was sitting. He lifted her legs and pushed them to one side

before sitting next to her and said to her, "Well, | won't deny that | don’t have anything to do, but | would rather

wait until you are steady on your feet."

Inez frowned. "Why?"

"Because it is the right thing to do," Killian responded.

"lI don’t need you to stay with me," she told him.

"There is a fine line between need and want," stated Killian in a calm voice. "Just because you don’t need me

doesn’t mean that you don’t want someone to stay next to you."

Inez eyed him with a suspicious look. "Well, if that’s what you want. Be my guest."

"Must have been hard," the two of them said in silence, and Killian suddenly spoke up. Inez raised her head and

looked at the man. Her eyes were filled with confusion as she could not understand what Killian was saying to

her. "Being different from the rest. Though I don’t know how it feels, it must have been painful trying to adjust

with shifters who can never understand your worries and differences."

"It was." As soon as Inez finished speaking, she cursed. She hadn't meant to say those words out loud.

"Did your identity as a siren make things difficult for you?" he asked, and from the speculative look on his face,

Inez knew that the man was definitely onto something and he was just waiting for a piece of evidence that would

prove his theory just right.

Dropping any pretense to continue being cordial with him, Inez got to her feet and then hopped off the couch.

She said, "I am going for a swim."

"lI am your alpha; you cannot dismisslike this, bubbles. | hope that you have understood that by now?"

She had. And it was absolutely sickening that her siren simply adored this side of him. "Look, | am grateful that

you watched overwhen | was unconscious. But | am fine now. You don’t need to linger here anymore."

"I know." But he was still not going to leave, and this was something that Inez could see through his expression.

"Fine. Do whatever you want to do."

"I was going to." He always did, which made him a difficult person to love. Something that his mother told him

many times. And so did Lyra. After all, she—

Instantly, Killian shoved the memory of their betrayals and the memories that they had left in his head before it

had the chance to ruin his mood any further.

He followed Inez out to the backyard, where he found Inez swimming in the small pool. Even though she sensed

him, Killian could see that she was not willing to pay him any more attention than necessary. Inez was a stubborn

and prickly little thing who was intent on keeping everyone at a distance.

Killian could not understand why this intrigued him, nor could he understand what her scent and body lured him

like a moth to a flame. It must be because she was a siren; it had to be.

But no one else is as charmed by her as you are.

He had to admit that the voice in his head was right, but Killian was not too keen on acting on it. Inez had indeed

earned a piece of his trust, but so had Lyra, only to show him why he shouldn't have done it.

The sound of footsteps attracted the

As far as she knew, shifters were used to seeing all kinds of atrocities. Then why was he asking her to be decent?

However, Inez didn’t say anything as she tied the towel around her. She turned to look at Selene and Laxus.

The man was looking at Killian with an amused look on his face. Even though he didn’t say anything, Inez could

understand what he was trying to say with his eyes, and her face turned red.

Ignoring the way her siren twisted inside of her as heat pooled in her core, she turned to look at Selene. "What's

this?" She eyed the dish in Selene’s hands.

Selene smiled, and Inez raised her brows. "This is something that grandma made for you."

"So it’s like a peace offering?"

Were they? Inez frowned and thought inwardly. As an old memory surfaced.
