Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 220: Set For War (2)

Killian growled. He knew that when greeting an alpha, he was supposed to smile and suppress his alpha vibes but not with Dominic. Never with him. Because unlike the others, Dominic had never suppressed his desires when it came to Inez. Maybe it had something to do with the remnants of the mating bond, but the man looked at Inez as if she were the answer to all of his sufferings.

Like she was the one straw that could save him from drowning.

Inez glanced at Dominic, whose gaze was fixated on her, and she sucked in a breath. That gaze – she was all too familiar with it. It was filled with possessiveness and intense desires, a look that promised her that he was going to get her. It should have done something to her. Maybe knocked her down a little, but it didn’t.

Instead, she felt irritated and annoyed.

"Eyes up here, Alpha Cherith," said Killian. The man was smiling, but his eyes were flashing beast; his lycan was suppressing against his surface. Rumbles escaped his lips as he stared at the man who was eyeing his Inez. "You are talking to me and not her."

Killian’s words were enough to make tension fizzle in the space. Inez sucked in a breath as she noticed the two men glaring at one another. Even though they didn’t make a move to lunge at each other’s throats, Inez knew that they were imagining it. It was quite clear from the gaze with which they were looking at one another.

She swallowed and placed her hand on Killian’s back. She had noticed how female lycans calmed down their mates, and even though Killian was not her mate, he had marked her even if temporarily. It should mean something, right? She rubbed his back and at the same time dragged her nails down lightly—like she was scratching a pup on the back. Calmly.
