Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 10: Stabbing where it hurts

"You have to hand it to her, Dom," Tao, who was sitting on the black leather couch, smugly sneered at Inez. "Even after being shown her place again and again as the pack’s trash, she is quite stupid."

He gave Inez a look and stated, "I mean, you would think she would get the message by now but that head’s quite thick. Don’t you think?"

Inez felt her heart stung a little when she heard Tao call her ’trash’; after Dominic, if there was someone she had trusted more than herself, it was Tao. Her foolish and naive self hadn’t thought twice before spilling all her secrets to Tao and this man had publicized all of her secrets in front of the pack, making her a joke.

Some of the pack members still laughed and mocked her for acting like a baby, while some asked her if she wanted a tissue to wipe her tears after being treated like an unwanted child by her mother.

It was one of her biggest insecurities and secrets that she had shared with Tao, and that man had shown her why she shouldn’t have done that.

Thus, even though her heart was hurting, she didn’t acknowledge him. Instead, she waited for Dominic to speak.

The man held her gaze and waited for her to show the same pained expression that she had shown him in the past. But hey! There was a limit to which a person could feel pain and these men had long surpassed those limits. It would be a surprise if Inez still felt as hurt as she did the first time; they had let her down.

"Tao’s right," After a long pause, Dominic spoke up. He arched a brow and asked, "What makes you think that you can refuse my orders?"

Inez looked at Dominic, and this time around she didn’t look at him as her childhood friend or the boy who had once rescued her from her bullies. Instead, she looked at him like he wanted to, as her tormentor, and calmly replied, "The fact that I am the best event planner of this company? Or the fact that I bring more than enough projects for interior decorations?"
