Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 172: Putting Distance (2)

"| am not asking you to put your life on hold for anyone." Edira began tentatively. "I am just asking you to keep

your distance from Inez for the tbeing, at least until everything cools down. You will be surprised what could

happen if Molly starts targeting her."

Brows snapping together, Killian said to his grandmother, "She is capable of handling herself. Even if she is not a

highly dominant shifter, she has faced her own share of battles and cout victorious. | don’t think she will like

it if | were to tell her that we need to go our merry ways just because of what happened today, and she might

even think that | am looking down at her because | think that she cannot look after herself. That is going to hurt

her pride for sure."

"But at least she will understand that you are only trying to look out for her."

Killian fisted his hands and stated, "Would you stay away if it were Grandpa? Would you leave him alone?"

"If it means keeping him alive? Sure," replied Edira. "And even if | couldn't, then it was because that man is my

mate. Inez is not your mate, and even if you keep claiming that she is yours, you have no intention of keeping

her with you for long, do you? Just until whatever you are feeling has fizzled out and you are free of the ties,

right? So, unless you are tellingthat you have placed a claim on her that cannot be revoked, | think you can

and you should do what | am telling you. Putting her life on the line just because you cannot stay away due to

the physical intimacy that you crave, Killian, is truly, really sick and twisted."

Edira fell silent, waiting for him to tell her that he was going to stake his claim on Inez, but when he didn’t, she

pursed her lips and continued, "I will ask Ajax to take care of her when you are not with her. | believe that the

two of them had gotten a bit close. | was going to ask Laxus, as he seemed to be more understanding of her

situation, but | don’t think he would like to stay away from Selene."

The two of them had the most complicated and twisted relationship that Edira wouldn't want to delve deeper in.

Killian’s beast surged to the surface with a growl that rippled in the room dangerously.

When Killian was done suppressing his beast, Edira shook her head and remarked, "I underestimated the

possessiveness of your beast when it cto her. | merely mentioned that you should let another man keep her

company, and he reacted so strongly."

Killian merely grunted.

"That only bringsback to my earlier statement. You should put sdistance between the two of you.

Unless you want to be bound to Inez, you should also start thinking whether you are with her because you truly

want to be with her and not because of your beast."

When he did not say anything, Edira looked at him and said, "If you don’t want to be the bearer of the bad news,

then | can do it for you."

"No. | can do it myself," said Killian. The least he could do was to explain the entire situation to her rather than

push her away without facing the consequences himself. He was not that big of a coward.

He turned around on his feet and walked out of the office before making a beeline straight to the lodge where

Inez lived.

"Hey."

The woman was sitting on the porch and reading a magazine when she saw him come; she raised her head and

smiled at him. Her smoky voice snaked over both him and his beast. It was as comforting as it was seductive.

"Hey, are you okay? | hope that you are not upset because of what she said to you."

Inez got to her feet and shook her head before saying to him, "I am not upset, but | cannot say the sfor you.

Are you okay?"

Fuck. She really knew how to read him. And that too a bit too easily, he sighed and said to her, "You saw my

mother, right? She is used to antagonising any woman with whom | get entangled or whom she thinks might

endanger the perfect plans that she has for me."

A frown etched on her face as soon as he finished speaking. "Okay?"

He scratched at his nape. "Edira’s concern is that this is going to put you in danger with my mother. She thinks

it’s best if the two of us stay away for a while; | can’t say that she is right or that | am fine with the idea, but |

don’t want you to get involved in the fuckery that my mother might cup with."

When Inez did not say anything, he stepped forward and placed his hand on her shoulder. "Inez?"

"I heard you." She finally said, her voice was a bit stiff. "After all, | do understand that it’s the right course of

action. However, | just think that when you tried to push your way into my life, even when | explicitly told you not

to, you didn’t listen to me, and | never stopped you because... | thought you could take care of yourself. Is it

because you think that | cannot face what your mother might throw at me?"

Killian cursed when he heard her

"But you are right; we should put sdistance between us because this way it will be easier forto leave

"Fooling around?" Killian snapped his teeth. "Is that what you call this?"

"What else am | supposed to call it?" Inez shrugged, but there was a hint of challenge in her tone.
