Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244: Assault of Scents

Killian stalked back to the party. His eyes flickered to the corpse that was now being taken away. The sight revolted him utterly; it was disgusting how shifters would sometimes take things too far without considering the consequences of their choices. The siren was not a pure one; maybe she was not even a half-blood like Inez. The siren blood in her veins was far too diluted to even be considered as one, but still, it made his heart twist.

His grandmother often told him that he was not fit to live a life as an alpha because he felt too much, thought too much and saw too much. And maybe he did. He cared. While the others did not, it was not a surprise because shifters were often driven by desires, and he, on the other hand, saw things much more clearly.

He turned his head away from the corpse that was being taken away, but not before telling Laxus to handle the funeral of the siren. The woman might be a slave in the eyes of many, yet Killian believed that she deserved to be buried with peace and respect, no matter what others say about it.

"Where is she?" He walked over to Selene and slapped his hands on the wooden surface of the counter.

Selene gave him a wary look. "She went to the balcony. She couldn’t watch whatever just happened." Neither could she, but Selene couldn’t leave with her brother gone; someone from the alpha family needed to stay back to control things at the party.

Not that there was much to control.

Everything was already out of their grasp.

Killian clenched his teeth, his jaw getting set even tighter as he knew that Inez would definitely have some opinions about him. From why he allowed such a thing to happen right under his nose to why he did not stop it from happening, he could almost hear her say those words.

Heaving a sigh, he said, "I am going to take a look."

He turned around, wanting to skirt around the throng of people and go looking for Inez by following her scent down the hall. But just as he turned around, he almost ran into Nyx, who had come looking for him when he wasn’t paying attention.

"Woah, there. Why are you in such a hurry?" She teased him with a smile on her lips.

"There are some things that need to be handled," Killian replied. He stepped to the left as he wanted to walk past Nyx, but the woman seemed to see through his actions. She stepped to the left as well before saying, "Alright, you can deal with those things later on. Here, I collected some siren blood for you to drink. I was waiting for you to come and take a sip earlier, but I couldn’t find you. Where were you anyway?"

"Outside." Killian glanced at the glass of siren blood before saying to Nyx, "I will pass. You know I don’t like to drink Siren blood. Or the blood of innocents." After he finished speaking, he stepped past her and walked out of the party hall.

The smile on Nyx’s lips could hardly be maintained. She had never been rejected like this publicly. Even if Killian didn’t like her, he would give her the respect that she deserved. Never did he tune her out like he did just now.

Some of the guests glanced at her before turning away, while there was a whole lot of bunch who chuckled at her plight. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
