Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha-Chapter 167: The Aftermath

By the time she was done healing Ryder, Miles, Finn, Levy and Matt, Killian was certain that he was about to go crazy. He looked at the stubborn woman who was refusing to stop, even though she looked like she was about to pass out. So when she turned around to look at him with those doe-like eyes that were filled with determination, he said to her, "I am fine, Inez. You can save your energy."

Her gaze studied him carefully. She first looked at the burn on the side of his arm, right on his bicep and then the small boils on his neck and the underside of his jaw. "No, you are not." And if she were to leave him alone, then he would heal, but it would leave a scar behind.

"It’s not as bad as it looks."

"Then there is no need for you to worry about letting me heal you, right?" said Inez. She was about to drag the man inside the office when she stiffened and looked at the egg roll that was stuffed in her hands. Surprised, she turned and looked at Edira, who huffed at her, "You need your energy. Don’t say that you fainted because you were taking care of the pack." freewēbnoveℓ.com

"I was thinking," began Selene, garnering everyone’s attention. "It’s not good that everyone is living so far from one another. Nyx, Morrineth, Fenric and Ally should move into one lodge, as they live the farthest, which makes them vulnerable to the attack and to being used. Look at what happened tonight? The witches used Ally’s voice because they knew that she lives too far and we would definitely rush to her aid."

Nyx went to object but was stopped by Selene. "I know that it will be a bit hectic for everyone to crowd into one single lodge, but I think this will be better. At least no one will be in danger. If not, I am afraid that if something like this happens again, neither of us will be as lucky as we were tonight."

"I think she is right," said Edira, pursing her lips in slight distaste. "It might be a good idea for everyone to either stay together in the main lodge or at least share the lodges closest to the main lodge. The submissive lycans are safe because the witches will not target them as they stay at the centre of the territory, but the same couldn’t be said for the dominant ones."

"For the sake of the pack coming out of this ordeal alive and safe, I think that it’s better for everyone to just suck it up and accept it."

"You can bunk on my bed," said Ajax as he patted Finn on the shoulder.

The beta looked not even the slightest bit amused by his suggestion as he slapped the hand that was on his shoulder and said to Ajax, "Do you really think that I will bunk in the same bed with you?"

"You are the only one who can stay sane with Jax," remarked Laxus, sounding a bit amused. "No one else can stay with him for more than three hours and not charge at him with the intention to kill him."

"That’s because I can’t bear the thought of having the blood of this manwhore on my hands."

"Hey, easy on the cussing. There are children here."

"I don’t see them," stated Finn coldly as he whipped his head around and looked at Ajax. "Not unless you call yourself a child, which I would partially agree to, as you have the same IQ as that of a five-year-old."

"Right here." Not sounding the least bit offended, Ajax cupped his crotch in front of Finn, who shot him a fierce look of loathing and annoyance. Inez was half certain that his desire to kill Ajax had gone up by a notch.

Killian offered, "Then I will move into Inez’s lodge."

Beside him, she stiffened, and so did Morrineth as she turned to look at the man and spoke together with Inez. "No!"

"There is no need!"

Inez turned to look at Morrineth, but the woman was not looking at her and instead was staring at Killian. She said to him like an angry bee buzzing, merely opening her mouth as she dished out one word after another, "Now, there is no need. If you are worried about this latent, then I can give her a kip in my lodge or even my bed. But really! Letting her stay with you—what will others think? They will think of her as the new Luna of the pack. You cannot—"

"For the last time, Morrineth. Don’t tell me what I can or cannot do." Killian snapped as he interrupted the woman.

However, Morrineth was not listening. She said, "You cannot do this to her. When Lyra was alive, you never gave her this status, so why her?"

"Why!?"

"You should ask this question of yourself, Morrineth." Killian retorted, barely moving his lips as he stated, "I would rather give this status to a woman who barely stayed in my life than your daughter, tell me what wrongs she might have committed for me to do it."

Morrineth glared at him. Her entire body was trembling as she pivoted on her heels and marched out of the lodge.

Inez watched her go, and she was sure that the woman’s loathing for her had only turned even more intense after this.

She then turned to look at Killian and said to him, "She is right. There is no need for you to live with me... I will be fine alone."

"There is no living alone; either you stay with me, or you can live with Edira, Selene and Laxus. I believe you will totally love the noise and the company of these people. Not to mention, you will have, like, zero privacy because Edira likes to barge into the rooms of others at odd times."

"I told you I sleepwalk!" Edira quibbled, wearing a scowl.

Killian turned to look at Inez with an ’I told you so’ look, who rolled her eyes and agreed. "Fine, I will stay with you."
