Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 2: The Thief Who Stole A Life

Chapter 2

Fourteen years later,

"Are you sure that you want to leave?" Dominic looked at the young woman who was holding her duffle bag in her hand and asked with a frown, "Abby is not happy with your decision to leave."

Inez blew the strand of hair that was determined to make her lose her temper and replied, "I am only going for a few days. It’s not like I will not return and you said that it’s nothing serious; Abby will be fine, right?"

She didn’t know how many times she had asked Dominic this question, and every time the man would look into the horizon before answering her that everything was alright.

And just as she expected Dominic looked at the far end of the room before nodding. "She will be fine."

Though she knew that the man was lying, Inez didn’t push him. She knew how touchy Dominic became when it came to his sister.

She pursed her lips before popping a chewing gum in her mouth. She said, "Then I don’t see the point of changing my plans, Dom. My grandma is sick and I need to go; I don’t know whether I will see her again or not."

At the mention of her grandmother, her eyes turned red and Inez sighed thickly.

Fortunately, Dominic got the message and he nodded with a stiff neck.

"Then you should go and see Abby; she was asking for you," Dominic told her.

Upon the mention of the little girl, Inez’s eyes softened. She pulled the straps of her duffle bag and nodded. "Then I will just hop in and take a look?"

"Sure."

The two of them then left the small house that belonged to Mia and her family before heading to the large mansion where Dominic lived with him.

"Hello, Mrs. Cherith," Inez greeted Dominic’s mother, who seemed wrought with worry but still smiled at her when she heard Inez greet her.

"How are you, my dear? All set to go to your grandmother’s?" Mrs Cherith asked.

"Yeah," Inez nodded in response before looking around. She frowned when she didn’t find Abertha. "Where is Abby, Mrs. Cherith?"

"She is lying in her bed," replied Mrs Cherith as she glanced at Dominic.

Upon hearing this, Inez turned to look at Dominic and said to him, "You said it was nothing serious!"

She then turned on her feet and headed upstairs, where she rushed to Abertha’s room.

"Abby!" Inez called the little girl who was lying on the bed with a pale face.

"Nessie!" Abertha smiled back, though her smile was tinged with pain.

"What happened?" Inez asked. She looked at the little girl and frowned. She had asked this question again and again, but no one answered her. If they had, then maybe she could have saved Abby from whatever was hurting her.

"I am fine," Abby replied with a sigh. "You don’t need to worry about me; what about you? Are you prepared for the trip?"
