Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 195: Holding onto Tendrils.

"That girl has it hard."

Inez listened to Scarlet speak through the phone. Now that her new identity was more or less fermented enough,

she had little to no qualms in calling her sister. Once she had returned to her lodge, the first thing she had done

was to call Scarlet while Killian did his own thing.

"I just don’t understand how someone can be this cruel," said Inez as she applied the last coat of shine topper on

her nail paint. "Selene didn’t do anything wrong. She just said no to someone she has no affection for."

Scarlet scoffed as she rolled her eyes; the screen froze a little due to her actions before moving once again. "And

here | thought that you would be the one to understand her better than the rest."

A frown settled between her brows as Inez asked, "And what do you mean by that?"

"Con, Inez. Do you really never see through Dominic's actions?"

She stared at her for a second too long, her brain switching from ’I know what she is talking about’ to ‘whatever

the hell she is talking about’. It happened so quickly that Inez was sure that her brain started to lag for a few

seconds. She parted her lips and questioned, "Just what are you trying to say?"

"Nessie... | know that you have always been in awe when it comes to Dominic but you really need to step out of

your little bubble. Why do you think he put you through all that torture?"

Inez placed the applicator of the nail topper on the small bottle before turning to look at Scarlet. She scrunched

up her brows before stating in a low voice, "isn’t it because he wanted to hurt me?"

"You really do not understand him... or maybe you do. You just don’t want to accept it," she muttered with a

scowl on her lips. "Inez, he did that for a reason. He did it because he hoped to break you."

The realisation that she had been ignoring all this while hit her like a punch to the gut. Those thoughts that she

used to have were not exaggerated at all. Dominic actually, sincerely wanted to crush her spirit until she was

nothing but a hollow shell which could be manipulated at will.

No, no. She was thinking too much. There was no way Dominic would do such a thing—but as the horrors that

she went through flashed in her mind, she knew that there was no point in rejecting the truth. And that thought

beceven more assertive when she saw Scarlet’s expression.

"I mean..." She blinked a few times. "I knew that there had to be a motive behind his actions but I never thought

— no, no," she scowled before adding, "In fact, | knew why he did that and what his intentions were; maybe | was

just too —"

"Much of a fool that | didn’t want to admit the truth," deadpanned Scarlet.

"You are right," she admitted and her voice was stronger than she had expected it to be. "He was someone |

looked up to—my best friend ... the one man I fell in love with—my mate." Something got caught in the back of

her throat and Inez ended up turning quiet.

Scarlet studied her through the screen for a second before sighing. "I cannot understand how you even stayed

alive this long with that naive personality of yours, Nessie. In a way, | believe our mom did you a favour by

stopping you from telling the truth to Dominic. Maybe if you had told him the truth, then his obsession with you

would have been much worse." Inez watched her take a sip of her tequila before continuing. "It's a good thing

that Alpha Sokolov is a nice guy; it's a pity that he is a player."

"He is not a player," Inez spoke before she could stop herself. "He has never played anyone. He has at most kept

people at bay but Killian has never hurt anyone."

"And you are already protecting him," Scarlet spoke with a teasing look in her eyes.

"l am not—"

The sound of knocking caused Inez to halt; the two sisters turned around and looked at the door of Scarlet’s

room.

"Scar, are you in there?"

Their Mom.

Scarlet frowned when she heard the voice of her mother but she still called out, "lI am here; what do you want?"

"Cout—Luca and Blake are here. They want to talk with you."

When Inez heard the response of her mother, her eyes widened in alarm. "Scarlet, don’t go—"

"I have to." Scarlet turned and glanced at Inez with a hint of determination and wildfire in her eyes. "l am not

hiding from those bastards."

And before Inez could say anything else, she ended the call and scrambled to her feet.

Scarlet crossed the room and then

pulled open the door; her eyes

flickered as she lopke yt Ref ndther,

knew that this was all due to the

"What?" Scarlet barked.

"Did you not hear me?" Mrs Sinclair spoke with a frown on her face. "Luca and—"

"I heard you just fine the first time. What | meant to ask is why you are disturbing my sleep for them? Do |

resemble their pet bitch? That | need to start wagging my tail whenever they call me?"

Mrs Sinclair shot a look of horror

downstairs before turning around

and looking at Scangt@s ifGHe had
