Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 310: Inez’s Worries Over Her Uncontrolled Power

"Gilderoy, you are needed at the office of the head guard. He has summoned you and wants to talk to you about something." Another guard called out. His expression fell when he saw Gilderoy hugging the prisoner. He said with a frown, "I know that you are used to having your way around this prison, but you better not touch these two women; they are connected to a high-profile case. If you dare to touch them without the permission of Dean, that man would peel a layer off your skin."

Gilderoy frowned. He glanced at the woman in his arms, though his mind kept telling him to make this woman kneel and suffer for him; something held him back.

Let her stay here, worrying about what I might do to her. That way, her mind would become a mess, and it would become easy for me to break her.

He curled his lips and patted Inez on the cheek. "I will come for you later, my darling." He then let go of Inez and turned around to walk out of the prison cell. The clang of keys echoed down the corridor before the iron door was slammed shut behind by the guard. However, before leaving, Gilderoy turned around and licked his lips suggestively. His footsteps faded with the passing of each second, but that disgusting stare of his remained behind.

Inez slid down the bars, her hands and knees hitting the floor with a soft yet hard thud. Scarlet crawled over to her. Her hands were shaking as she softly called out to Inez, "What did you do? What did you do — why did you do that? You know that he will come for you, right?"

Inez pulled her hands back and rolled back on her heels. Every muscle in her body was aching. But her gaze was much firmer, and when she raised her head, Scarlet knew that it was not Inez but Nerina. "I know, but she doesn’t want you to get hurt because of her." A pause, and she looked around the grimy walls, with water dripping down from the edges. "And if she stayed here any longer, she would have passed out. You know that."

the darkness. She clenched her fists, trying to anchor the horrible realisation of the danger that her sister had once again taken to protect her. "Why did you do it, Nessie? You did the same thing last time when Dominic threatened you with me. You don’t have to protect me. I can take this on—I

and grabbed the hands of her sister; she gripped Scarlet so hard that she winced. "That man wants me, so even if he wishes to break me, he will leave me alive—in case something like that happens. But you are different. He won’t hesitate to kill you. It’s better if I take on his wrath and twisted desires rather than letting you face it." She tilted her head with a ghost of a smile lingering on her lips. "Don’t look so horrified; even if he tries to

broken only by the dripping sound of the water down the stone wall, Scarlet stared at her sister with a hint of tangled awe. Realisation hit deep when she realised that Inez had deliberately played with the guard to make him back off, letting him think that he was controlling the situation.

With the security of this dungeon, Inez wondered how they would even get out of this place. With what happened, it seemed like the guards here were not afraid of tormenting or breaking the prisoners, which was not
