Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 356

Chapter 356: Siding With the Truth

"Are you okay, Inez?" Sitting in the conference room, Tao looked at the woman in front of him with a complicated look in his eyes. His eyes flicked from Killian, who was spooning Inez as if he was worried that someone would snatch her away, to Dominic, who hadn’t stopped snarling ever since he found out that his mate had been snatched away by the very man he doubted from the beginning.

"She is fine," Tracy replied as she snatched a slice of pizza from the box. They had been served freshly baked pizzas and hot chocolate, courtesy of Seth, the head of the council. After taking one look at Inez, he said that she needed something hot and delicious to get back on her feet.

When Tao turned to look at Tracy, the witch raised a brow and questioned, "What? Did you think that you could talk like old friends after all that?"

Inez’s lips twitched. If she didn’t know better, she would have thought that Tracy was her mate instead of the man beside her. Killian was angry alright, but that anger was nowhere close to Tracy’s, whose entire existence seemed to be oozing nothing but bloodthirsty rage.

Tao, sensing the gravity of the situation, turned silent. He gathered a slice of pizza and then retreated without much argument. Even Ajax was silent, for she knew that the situation was not one where he could play around.

But Inez didn’t touch her slice. The fear that had been hovering over the top of her head had disappeared, but she was nowhere close to calming down. Even with Killian sitting next to her. What she wanted was to return home and bury herself in the arms of her mate, but no, Dominic insisted that this matter of Killian ’snatching’ his mate should be brought in front of the council and cue the current situation.

"So, you are the one causing trouble," and as if not seeing the awkward tension that was stretching in the room, Seth turned to look at the little demigod sitting beside Tracy. According to Tracy, even though Veronica was not the one who caused the majority of the troubles, she was indeed indirectly related to twisting her fate around with her godly powers. Inez had no idea what she meant, but in Veronica’s words, she was bored and wanted to do something fun.

How in the world was her getting imprisoned in the prison cell fun? Inez was yet to find out.

Veronica turned pale. She looked a bit scared of the current situation, but she still bit her lips and nodded. "I was just playing around... I am sorry." She raised her head and looked at Tracy while apologising.

Inez realised that there was something amiss with the gaze of the young woman and turned to look at Tracy, who rolled her eyes and stated, "I didn’t do anything."

"But—"

"I just turned her into a rat for a few seconds. Since she was bored, scattering around happily should have taken care of her boredom." Her cotton candy-haired friend rolled her eyes and remarked as if she were talking about how the weather at night had turned really beautiful. "She is afraid that I will turn her into another rodent. Honestly, do I look that unreasonable?"

"So that’s what you are scared about?" Killian glanced at his beta.

Finn’s face flushed red with shame. "That is not the case." But given how frequently his gaze flickered while he was looking at Tracy, it did seem like it was the case.

Veronica paled as well.

Tracy rolled her eyes and stated coldly, "I just wanted her to stop causing trouble for you. In my defence, I asked her nicely to stop causing trouble, but the woman didn’t listen to me. I had no other choice but to turn her into one. Don’t worry; I only turned her into one for like three or four minutes, not more than that. If she had been eaten by one of the dogs running around the lands, I would have turned into a murderer. I don’t want that."

She tilted her head and looked at the two men who were staring at Inez. "But I don’t think it’s time for us to talk about that yet."

Inez stiffened, and she dropped her gaze. "Thank you very much. I thought the two of us were supposed to be friends."

"We are best friends, sweetie, but we cannot deny the fact that we need to talk about whatever this is going on."
