Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 226: The Girls Code (2)

Inez stared at the woman whose cheeks were getting redder by the minute and looked around. She reached out and held onto Jules’s arm before saying to her, "Let’s get you seated, shall we? I will then try to find your brother-in-law." She wondered if she could find Peter in the crowd with people mingling, dancing and grinding against one another. However, she had to unless she wanted Jules to lose control and set the entire place on fire. Literally.

Jules allowed Inez to steer her down the ballroom to a silent corner. She was still sobbing as she spoke to Inez in a low voice, "I mean... am I not a good person? Can’t they look at me? Just me? But they don’t all care about me. Not Jules but Jules Drakos. So that’s what I give them, but then they say that I am too arrogant. Isn’t it simply unfair? I am giving you what you want from me."

"Maybe you need to look for your own people," suggested Inez as she soothingly patted the sobbing woman in her arms. She spoke to her in what she thought was a kind voice and said to the woman, "You are looking for comfort in the wrong people. What you need is someone who will understand you, not someone who will drag you down for their own satisfaction just because they are jealous."

"Jealous?" As Inez deposited Jules on one of the chairs, the woman raised her head and looked at her in confusion. "They are jealous of me? Why would they? Of how epic a failure I am as the only princess and the pure-blooded daughter of the dragon king?"

Inez glanced at the woman in the chair with a frown on her face. She shook her head and then said to her, "No. They are jealous because you are rare and different. These women know that even if you were unhinged, men would still flock to you because you are what you are. They hate you for that because they could never attract the attention of men like you can."

She was right, of course. As much as Jules would like to pretend that she couldn’t see the men eyeing her like she was a piece of juicy steak, the truth was that everywhere she went, men would look at her. Even now, when Inez was helping her, she could feel the gazes of multiple men staring at them. They didn’t make a move on Jules, nor did they come close to her. Maybe it had something to do with her —come any closer and I will rip your fucking dick off—glare.
