Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 23: The ultimate betrayal

"Dumb Dumb dummy?" Killian turned to look at Inez; his eyes flashed with amusement as he remarked, "You have quite a fascinating skill in naming people, Miss Sinclair."

Oh, yeah, she did. This was the only way she could take her anger out on people who bothered and bullied her. She couldn’t fight them, but she could give them really ’cool’ names that she could use while cursing them inwardly.

"Thank you." Inez took a step back. She stared at Killian with eyes gleaming with wariness, and she asked, "Anything else you want to say, Alpha Sokolov?" It didn’t matter what he wanted to say to her; unless it was an apology, Inez had no interest in listening to him.

She was going to tune him out. Totally.

"...I like women with more substance, Miss Sinclair." She heard the man say, and even though she wanted to roll her eyes so badly, she held back. With a smile on her lips, she remarked, "I see, Alpha Sokolov. It seems like all the rumours surrounding you are nothing but exaggerated lies." Liar, Liar pants on fire.

Killian eyed the woman curiously in front of him. He could tell that she was pretty much furious with him and the troubles that he had brought her but as if the fire had been extinguished, Inez Sinclair was perfectly polite and calm once again.

Even when she was angry just now, she hadn’t thrown a glass full of water in his face. She was perfectly civil even when there was a furious rage bursting through her veins.

Inez hadn’t yelled or threw shit on his face. Nor did she point fingers at him, and now she was speaking with no inflection. It made him wonder how many times the woman in front of him quelled her rage that she was so perfectly in control of her temper that it was terrifying.

A shifter wasn’t supposed to be like this. Especially a wolf shifter. They were the kind that beat someone up first and talked later.

There was so much pain and anger packed in ice within her that Killian wondered what kind of storm Inez had braved.

"No, they are not lies."

"But you just said—"
