Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 14: Coercion

Inez cursed herself inwardly. She and her big mouth—why did she have to mention that her contract was expiring in front of Dominic? She should have kept her mouth closed and opened it only to say ’Yes, boss,’ and silently handed her resignation.

However, she was so angry upon being used and thrown as if she was a discarded piece of rag that she couldn’t help but put Dominic in his place. She wanted to see him regret missing out on her.

And she wanted him to show some panic at the fact that her contract was soon expiring—that she completely forgot that these men would not let her go so easily.

When she didn’t speak, Luca arched a brow and nudged her slightly. "What’s with that look? Do you want to make any amends in the contract?"

He spoke so fluidly as if he was going to let her do that.

"Thats good—"

"Because I won’t be signing any," she finished her sentence without bothering to even pay attention to how swiftly Luca had cut her off.

The man didn’t say anything. For a few minutes, the car fell into complete silence but Inez knew better than anyone that this silence was only momentary. Luca must have sensed her rejection and he knew that the old tricks of using their friendship bond wouldn’t work.
