Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 53: Brewing Trouble

"You do?" Killian arched a brow as he had never anticipated such an answer from her.

"Yes, I do. You gave me a place to stay even though you heard the rumours flying around me," said Inez. She patted Ruth, who was clinging to her. "I am not a fool; I can see who is being genuinely kind to me and who is not."

An emotion flickered across her face, but it was gone too quickly for Killian to identify what it was.

You have so much anger and blame packed in thick ice that it’s terrifying, and yet you present yourself as a slick charmer who is nothing but an open book. You have so much potential, and yet you are wasting it away. Why?" She shot back. As she had expected, he closed down. Her laugh was empty of humour. "See? Unless you are willing to share your secrets, don’t try to poke your nose into mine."

Inez rolled her eyes at him. "Let me assure you that if at any point I wanted to leave, then I would walk right in front of your eyes."
