Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 149: Ajax’s teasing

"Lyla! Lyla!"

At first, Inez didn’t stop because she didn’t register that someone was calling her. It was only when Jules reached

out and caught her by her elbow that she realised that the woman was calling her.

"Are you angry at me?" Jules asked nervously. She had been calling Inez for a while now, and with the woman

ignoring her, she just couldn't help but wonder if the woman was angry at her. Jules had to admit that her sister

was truly rude to Inez, and if she were in her shoes, then she too would have been furious with her.

Inez pursed her lips. She shook her head and said to her, "I am not angry, but | think it will be better if we

discuss what happened earlier."

When Jules noticed her serious expression, she beceven more worried. She asked, "Is everything alright?"

"I appreciate that you are trying to befriend me, but" Inez sucked in a breath and continued speaking, "You

should be well aware that your cousin doesn’t seem to like the company that you are keeping. The pure-blooded

shifters have always looked down on latents; | think you should look for someone whose company would be

appreciated by your family. For your own benefit and peace." And hers as well.

Inez didn’t want to be pulled into the murky waters. If Jules were one of the last dragons, then getting close to

her was nothing less than walking down a rickety bridge.

"But | like you," said Jules as if she couldn't understand what Inez was trying to tell her. "Since the day | cto

this city, no one has been nice to me; you are the only one who truly cared for me. Usually, people only care

aboutbecause they want something from me, but you are the only person who took care ofwithout

anything in exchange."

Inez simply stared at the woman because this was the first tsomeone had told her that they would want to

becfriends with her after Dominic ruined her life.

When Inez didn’t say anything in response, Jules was slightly hurt by her lack of reaction. She thought that Inez

would agree with her almost at once, but when she didn’t, her heart couldn't help but feel a bit twinged with

pain.

Was it that hard to becfriends with her?

She then said to Inez, "It is okay, if you don’t want to." After she finished speaking, she lowered her head.

Inez looked at the woman whose hands were tightly clenched at her sides. She said, "I have nothing against

becoming your friend." Apart from Selene, no one had truly tried to becher friend, and Inez had no idea

what to make of the current situation. "However, | don’t think your family will be happy if you becfriends

with me. And not only them, but even the people whom you know will talk behind your back. Do you think you

can withstand all of that?"

Jules pursed her lips as she tried to digest Inez’s words.

"You don’t have to think about them," she huffed. "And my cousin is not that bad - it's not that she looks down at

you; she just likes to mollycoddlein her own patronising, condescending way." And of course, the fact that

she was trying to befriend her was going to make her ten times worse, but Jules really didn’t want to miss out on

someone like Inez.

Inez simply smiled. She didn’t take Jules’ lie to heart because she knew that the woman was only saying it

because she wanted to becher friend.

"I see..." she nodded and turned to look behind her; at spoint, Serafina had cto stand behind them and

was now glaring at Inez as if she were a witch who had hoodwinked her sister. Seeing that the latter was not

happy with her, Inez turned to look at Jules and said to her, "I think your sister is waiting for you."

Jules raised her head and glanced at Serafina, who stood behind Inez. One look at her sister, and she flinched

slightly, but soon she recovered and smiled at Inez before saying to her, "I will see you soon, Lyla."

As Jules walked past her, Inez heaved a sigh of relief and went down the path that headed to the lodge where

she lived. However, just as she arrived at her lodge, she found that the peace that she was looking for was still

far from her fingertips.

"You are finally here," said Ajax. The enforcer was standing outside on the porch of her lodge, holding something

in his hands as he looked at her.

"What are you doing here?" Inez asked as she made her way towards the lodge at a slow and careful pace.

Ajax raised the box in his hands and replied, "Got scrabs. | thought you would like some."

Inez stared at the box in his hands

"Thank you?"

"What's with that questioning note?" Ajax asked with a hint of amusement in his voice. "Are you not happy to

In response to her barbed words, the man only chuckled.

"Well, | also wanted to talk to you, beautiful," Ajax remarked with a wink.
