Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 194: Truth About The Poisoning (2)

Inez snapped her head back down and looked at Killian. He had replaced Laxus, who was standing outside the lodge and glaring at the front door. She was sure that the man was an inch away from barging inside the lodge by breaking it in the caveman style. It was quite a surprise when he didn’t. Now, Inez knew why he didn’t.

It was because Killian had replaced his position.

"What are you doing here?" Inez asked as she stepped down the stairs. "And why didn’t you step inside? Why wait here?"

A crooked smile appeared on Killian’s face. He said to her, "I wanted to make sure that the little lesson that my dear sister should have learnt ages ago was stuck and embedded deep in her head."

"You knew?!" Inez’s eyes widened when she heard his words. She thought that Killian had no idea what was happening to Selene, but it seemed like he knew and turned a blind eye to everything.

Killian only clasped his hands behind him. He tilted his head to one side and questioned, "Why the surprise note? You should have known me by now, Bubbles. I will do everything to protect my family. My loved ones, but when they are being exceptionally foolish, I have no choice but to leave them alone."

"Like a naughty kid. Once they fall and scrape their knees, they will realise that I was right all along. It’s only when it hurts that we remember the lesson that we need to keep in mind." After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the lodge as if he could see past the walls.

Inez sighed. Though she understood his meaning, she couldn’t help but feel that the man was being a bit too hard on Selene. "You could have told her."

"Do you think I didn’t?" Killian asked with a hint of amusement and exasperation in his tone. "I did. Many times, but she was just too lonely, too depressed, that she was willing to take the alms that were being thrown at her." He paused and added, "She needed someone like you to make her realise that she was worth more than those alms."

"You are her brother."
