Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha novel Chapter 401

Chapter 401: Paranoid

His icy blue eyes scanned her up and down. "Do you know what you are doing? "Is it really happening or is it just in your head—"

"I think I do." She glanced at the man.

Levi didn’t seem to believe her, but he didn’t push her for an answer either. He calmly nodded and then chased after the rest of the pack. Inez was about to follow him as well, but before she could take another step, her phone started ringing. She pulled her phone out of her pocket with a shaking hand, as the sound of her ringtone sounded much harsher. When she saw Killian’s name flash on the screen, uneasiness filled her heart. Suddenly, she started to get worried. What if something happened to Killian? Why was he calling her out of nowhere? Was everything okay?

Her finger tapped the answer call before she could even straighten her thoughts.

"Inez?"

Killian’s voice filled her ears, sounding slightly breathless as if he had just finished running a lap. "Are you okay?"

He snatched the words right out of her mouth, and relief flooded through her.

"I am fine—"

"Yet." Killian finished her sentence, but the sarcasm sounded strained. "What is happening? Can you tell me?"

"Will you believe me if I say I really don’t have a clue?" said Inez, sounding utterly frustrated with her own inability. It was as if she were walking through a thick layer of fog; the deeper she moved, the harder it became for her to navigate her way through it. "It’s awkward as fuck for me too, but I cannot give you a proper answer. It’s like I know that there is something, but I don’t know what. It has never happened before."

"Breathe, baby." Just as Inez was feeling thwarted with the lack of answers, Killian whispered from the other end. "Don’t worry about the judgement or anything else. Just do what you think is correct. I will be heading over once I am done with Seth—" There was a pause and then, "I swear I will kill him for this. He could have let me go, and yet he wouldn’t. He really thinks he is all that just because he is the head of the council."

His words brought a smile to her lips, and Inez felt a bit better. At least she could breathe better than before.

"Thanks."

"For what?" He asked, his voice sounding filled with smiles.

"For calling." She told him, ignoring the dread that kept trying to slither up her spine. "I feel better. I mean it."

"Hmm? Really?" he didn’t sound convinced. "You really feeling good?"

"Yeah. listen I—" Inez trailed off when she heard someone call Killian. She bit her lips and lowered her voice, realising that the man was busy with his own things. He shouted back at the person who was calling him, and when he returned to the call, his voice had gone all soft again. "Sorry? You were saying?"

"It’s alright, I was just saying that I want you to take care of me," said Inez, changing her words at that exact moment.

"You do that for me, alright, bubbles?" Killian answered as he hung up.
