Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 194: Truth About The Poisoning (2)

Inez snapped her head back down and looked at Killian. He had replaced Laxus, who was standing outside the

lodge and glaring at the front door. She was sure that the man was an inch away from barging inside the lodge

by breaking it in the caveman style. It was quite a surprise when he didn’t. Now, Inez knew why he didn’t.

It was because Killian had replaced his position.

"What are you doing here?" Inez asked as she stepped down the stairs. "And why didn’t you step inside? Why

wait here?"

A crooked smile appeared on Killian’s face. He said to her, "I wanted to make sure that the little lesson that my

dear sister should have learnt ages ago was stuck and embedded deep in her head."

"You knew?!" Inez’s eyes widened when she heard his words. She thought that Killian had no idea what was

happening to Selene, but it seemed like he knew and turned a blind eye to everything.

Killian only clasped his hands behind him. He tilted his head to one side and questioned, "Why the surprise note?

You should have knownby now, Bubbles. | will do everything to protect my family. My loved ones, but when

they are being exceptionally foolish, | have no choice but to leave them alone."

"Like a naughty kid. Once they fall and scrape their knees, they will realise that | was right all along. It’s only

when it hurts that we remember the lesson that we need to keep in mind." After he finished speaking, he turned

to look at the lodge as if he could see past the walls.

Inez sighed. Though she understood his meaning, she couldn't help but feel that the man was being a bit too

hard on Selene. "You could have told her."

"Do you think I didn’t?" Killian asked with a hint of amusement and exasperation in his tone. "I did. Many times,

but she was just too lonely, too depressed, that she was willing to take the alms that were being thrown at her."

He paused and added, "She needed someone like you to make her realise that she was worth more than those

alms."

"You are her brother."

"And that’s what makes everything even more difficult. Sel believes that | will support and stay by her side

because we are family. She didn’t need that. She needed something else."

Inez had no idea what the man even meant by those words.

She walked down the stairs and looked at the man with a hint of confusion in her eyes. "Are you always like

this?"

"Like what?" Killian asked as the two of them started to walk down the cobblestone path laced with seashells and

beach sand.

"Wanna be mystery man?" Inez shrugged as she continued, "I don’t know—why don’t you just make things

easier for everyone and tell the truth? In easier terms."

"Sometimes when things bectoo easy, people start taking them for granted."

Inez huffed. She hated it when he did that, speaking as if everything made sense. They did, but she hated how

right he was at every turn.

Noticing that she had gone silent, Killian glanced at her and realised that Inez was holding back. "Something that

you want to ask?"

"There is," replied Inez with a serious expression. She turned to look at the man beside her.

Killian’s eyes surveyed her for a while before he nodded. "Let's hear it."

"What happened to Selene?"

The air around him turned subtly chilly, but not enough to push Inez away. Maybe that was his way of controlling

his temper and letting her know that she can continue speaking, thought Inez.

"I keep hearing that she was poisoned, but | have never heard how it happened."

Inez also wanted to ask about his mate, but she realised that it would be overstepping her limits. Especially

when she was not ready to share what happened between her and Dominic.

"You have the correct information." The expression on Killian’s face didn’t change. "As for how it happened, | can

only say that obsessive love never ends fairly."

"Obsessive love?" Inez mused. A piece of the lost puzzle clicked, and she somehow understood the entire picture

in a matter of a few seconds.

Killian smiled, and this this smile

He scraped his chin and remarked, "I had quite a fun twhile trying to hunt that man down. Not that he made

it any easier."

Now that Inez understood the entire situation, she pursed her lips before adding, "It is quite lucky that she has

Laxus by her side."

"Are you sure about that?"

She paused and turned to look at the man. There was another teasing glint in his eyes, which showed that he

was holding back another bit of important information from her. "What—what now?"

What else was there that she didn’t know?

"The man who tried to kill Sel was Laxus’s twin brother. A wolf shifter. Do you still think that it’s a good thing that

Sel has someone like him?"
