Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha-Chapter 169: Molly Confronts Inez

Killian could feel his wounds tingling—a soothing warmth pierced through the skin that had been burned. She then raised her arm and wiped his face with the help of a handkerchief.

"Thank you, Bubbles." He lowered his head and devoured her mouth, licking, biting and sucking on her bottom lip. Sliding his hand a bit down, he brought her in a princess carry and then said to her, "Let’s go and shower."

Inez smiled. Her eyes flashed as her siren surged to the surface. "What an excuse to get me naked."

"Need to act as a gentleman when I am with you, baby." He returned the smile before taking her to the lodge.

After taking Inez against the shower wall and the bathing tub, with her legs tied around his waist, he returned to the main lodge and discussed with Finn how to tighten the security measures of the pack better. Because of this, Inez didn’t see him until the next morning when she went to the main lodge.

However, she had barely pushed open the door when Killian stepped out. His expression was oddly strained, and he looked terribly upset about something. She was about to ask him what the matter was, but then his hands landed on either side of her, and he turned her around so that she was walking forward without taking a look inside the main lodge.

It confused her, as Inez couldn’t understand why Killian would push her away like this. And somewhere it hurt her too. Maybe it’s because she had been rejected too harshly by her previous pack that she had gotten a bit sensitive about subtle changes like these.

"What happened?" She asked, feeling confused, when the man pushed her out of the lodge.

"Maybe you need to go back to your lodge."

Inez frowned. "Why? What’s wrong?" She inhaled sharply, picking up the scents that were lingering on the front porch. She could smell the scents of Edira, Selene, Laxus, Finn and a few more pack members, but there was someone else. Someone unfamiliar.

"Is that her?" a loud, witch-like voice cracked behind them, and Killian muttered a curse.

"Mom, you really need to stop now!" Selene spoke in outrage as she was wheeled outside the lodge by Laxus. Her eyes flew to Morrineth, who had called her mother to the pack by telling her about Inez.

The woman had the audacity to glare back at her, but the second Laxus growled, the woman lowered her head but remained defiant.

Inez stared at the woman in confusion, and her confusion became even more intense when Killian stood in front of her protectively. As if he were worried that the woman would suddenly go crazy and attack her. Rolling her eyes, she moved to one side and took a look at the woman who looked too similar to Killian, and at the same time, she didn’t because her lips seemed to be fixed in a permanent scowl on her face.

Selene looked beyond livid, while Edira was chewing her lips as if she was trying to stop herself from losing her composure, but given that Inez could hear her curse a few times, she knew that the woman was nowhere near as calm as she was pretending to be.

Which brought her back to the point: who was this woman? And why was she here when Inez had never seen her before?

The middle-aged woman huffed. "So," she barked. "You must be Lyla?"

Because of the command that Killian had given the pack, Morrineth couldn’t break the promise completely, but she did play the loophole to her maximum benefit when telling Molly about Inez.

Even though Inez didn’t believe that she was really smart when it came to handling matters of emotions, she could still sense that the woman was rather hostile to her, and she had no idea why.

Selene glared at her mother, who didn’t hear a thing that her brother and she said to her, and then she turned to look at Inez before smiling at her apologetically. She said, "I am sorry about her actions... this is my mother... Molly Sokolov." She introduced Molly to Inez when the woman continued to stare at her.

Ah. So this woman was the one who was determined to get her son mated to a dragon shifter, one that would bring honour and pride to her name, or more like Killian’s name, as she liked to insist. Which meant that Molly must have a rather serious problem with latents because they were always considered a point of humiliation rather than pride.

Molly’s upper lip curled briefly, and Inez had a subtle feeling that she had seen this woman before, but where?

"I would like to thank you for doing your best to heal my Selene, but I hope that you will limit your desire and intentions and stop with that nasty agenda of yours because it’s nothing but a pipe dream."

"Stop it, Mother!" Killian snapped at the woman, but Molly didn’t seem to hear, and Inez soon understood where she had seen Molly before. Her mother.

Her mother often treated her in the same fashion, as she believed that what she was doing was right and that Inez was not aware of what she wanted or needed. Molly’s arrogant expression was quite similar to her mother’s.

"Why, though? Am I lying? Isn’t she here with an agenda?"

Inez arched her brow. She quashed the anger bubbling in her heart and turned to look at the woman. She said to her, "And what is this agenda that you speak of?" She was genuinely curious because she couldn’t see the agenda that Molly kept speaking of.

"You are a healer, and healers always have an agenda. Do you want me to believe that you are treating my daughter out of the goodness of your heart?"

"Really? I didn’t know that you could see through me so easily." Inez rolled her eyes, not taking even a single word that the woman was saying to her to heart.

However, her lack of regard only irked Molly even further, and she took a threatening step towards Inez.
