Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 397

Chapter 397: Have you gone crazy?

Selene pursed her lips. She stared at her for three whole seconds before turning to look at Matt. "Go and check the perimeters."

"What if I am wrong?" Inez grabbed Selene’s hand and spoke in a hurry. She lacked the conviction that she just had now because there had never been a time when someone had trusted her enough to believe her. The confidence in her dwindled a little bit.

Selene turned to look at Inez. Her eyes were steady and serious. "There is nothing wrong with running a lap around the perimeter. At least we will be prepared and won’t be taken by surprise. At least we will have another escape route prepared for us just in case things head south."

And if she was really right, then this might —

Inez gritted her teeth and looked at the people still quarrelling in the lodge. Though they had once stood against her, they had accepted her and given her a place in the pack. She couldn’t ignore the risk that might be hovering over their heads. After all, they were the ones who had helped her when no one had; she couldn’t just ignore their plight.

Lowering her head, she slowly let go of Selene’s wrist.

Then let it be. It was better to be safe than sorry.

"There is nothing," said Matt on the walkie-talkie. Their territory was located near the ocean, and half of the territory was hidden by the overgrown forest, twisted lanes, gnarled roots and trees. He hadn’t asked what strange magic was circulating in the territory that needed to be checked and taken into account. He had circled the territory for the fourth time, scanning for anything out of place, but nothing...not a single thing that could trigger his radar.

The territory was still the same, and the silence was absolute. Thick and quiet...as quiet as silence could be, he added in his mind.

Even the sound of birds chirping couldn’t be heard.

She thinks that there is danger coming, Selene had told him, and she had told him these words with absolute certainty, and there was not even the smallest doubt in her voice when she told him that Inez felt that there was something wrong. He had noticed that there was absolute certainty when Inez was whispering to Selene. There was absolute certainty when she was speaking to Selene. There was this subtle calmness in her eyes, like she knew something that they didn’t, and that shook him even more.

I am telling you, she is different from us. I don’t know, there is something different about her. She knows things —Matt. Please believe me.

Selene’s voice echoed in his head.

Matt didn’t know why Selene said such a thing to him, but he knew Selene well enough to know that the woman wouldn’t say such things without a reason. Matt knew what Selene was capable of; just because the lioness had lost her claws didn’t mean that she had lost her skills to hunt. Since she said that something was hiding in the dark, then there had to be something.

"Are you sure?" Selene asked.
