Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 172: Putting Distance (2)

"I am not asking you to put your life on hold for anyone." Edira began tentatively. "I am just asking you to keep your distance from Inez for the time being, at least until everything cools down. You will be surprised what could happen if Molly starts targeting her."

Brows snapping together, Killian said to his grandmother, "She is capable of handling herself. Even if she is not a highly dominant shifter, she has faced her own share of battles and come out victorious. I don’t think she will like it if I were to tell her that we need to go our merry ways just because of what happened today, and she might even think that I am looking down at her because I think that she cannot look after herself. That is going to hurt her pride for sure."

"But at least she will understand that you are only trying to look out for her."

Killian fisted his hands and stated, "Would you stay away if it were Grandpa? Would you leave him alone?"

"If it means keeping him alive? Sure," replied Edira. "And even if I couldn’t, then it was because that man is my mate. Inez is not your mate, and even if you keep claiming that she is yours, you have no intention of keeping her with you for long, do you? Just until whatever you are feeling has fizzled out and you are free of the ties, right? So, unless you are telling me that you have placed a claim on her that cannot be revoked, I think you can and you should do what I am telling you. Putting her life on the line just because you cannot stay away due to the physical intimacy that you crave, Killian, is truly, really sick and twisted."

Edira fell silent, waiting for him to tell her that he was going to stake his claim on Inez, but when he didn’t, she pursed her lips and continued, "I will ask Ajax to take care of her when you are not with her. I believe that the two of them had gotten a bit close. I was going to ask Laxus, as he seemed to be more understanding of her situation, but I don’t think he would like to stay away from Selene."

The two of them had the most complicated and twisted relationship that Edira wouldn’t want to delve deeper in.

Killian’s beast surged to the surface with a growl that rippled in the room dangerously.
