Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 174: Assassination Attack (2)

Inez walked out of the changing room. Mindful of the slipping tiles, she was quite careful while she was walking.

The water was rippling gently and lapping around the edges. Thankfully, it was still empty with no one swimming

in it.

She plunged into the pool. As a part-siren, she didn’t need to hold her breath and could swim deep in the water

without any trouble. However, Inez still swam to the surface for mouthfuls of air just in case someone came

inside the swimming area and saw her plunged deep in the water.

Shoving the wet tendrils of her hair out of her eyes, she swam to the edge of the swimming pool and picked up

the can of juice that she had brought with her. Taking a swig of the juice and letting the water clash against her

body, there was something really peaceful about the entire thing.

There was no bombardment, no fuss. No one was telling her what was wrong and what was right for her. It was

just peaceful.

Just her and the water. It enabled her to switch off for a while, which was nice.

Once she was finished drinking the juice, Inez closed her eyes and then lapped back to the water, where she just

let her body float around. The water sliding over her skin as she soaked it all up was helping her by easing the

tension that was rolling within her body. She rested for a while before she started swimming again, and this time

around, she pushed herself as hard as she could.

Her muscles were screaming at her for her to rest, and yet Inez felt more and more calm. Her head was no

longer filled with needless worries, and she didn’t have to waste her tworrying about anything.

However, just as she was about to turn around for another lap, she heard a plop and turned to look behind her.

No one. She couldn't even see any ripples in the water from where the sound cfrom. Frowning, she turned

her head to the front, about to take another dive under the water. When-

Something tightened around her neck and yanked her under the water. The shock of it almost stole her breath,

and Inez glanced at the thick coil that was tied around her throat. It looked like a rope, but it wasn’t; it was a

snake. Completely black on the upper side with hues of yellow under.

Tiger snake.

And from the size of it, she was sure that it was a shifter.

Panic clawed at her insides. Though Inez could breathe underwater, this damn thing seemed to have realised

that she was one good swimmer and could hold her breath for a long time; thus, it went for her throat. A perfect

plan: if she drowned here and died, everyone would think that she died due to drowning.

Her heart was pounding wildly, and she kicked her legs as hard as she could. She clawed and scratched the

motherfucker but it didn’t move.

She tried to call Nia, hoping that the wolf would respond to her, but there was no response.

"Damn, how long are you going to sulk over that jerk!?" Inez shrieked. Angry and upset at her wolf for not acting

when she was about to die. Was Dominic and his wolf even worth their deaths? She didn’t think so!

However, her wolf apparently did think that dying was better than staying without their mates.

Inez cursed as she started punching and pulling the thing off her neck. When nothing worked, she summoned

her siren and allowed her nails to elongate like a witch. She used them to scratch the scales of the snakes and,

at the stime, bit the end of the tail of the snake.

The thing loosened its hold on her, and Inez immediately took gulps of air before swimming upwards. However,

she didn’t even break through the surface when the tiger snake reached out and bit her on the side of the waist.

Damn!

Adrenaline shot through her system, and she started to swim faster, almost there... she was just about to break

through the surface of the water—

The tiger snake shot out again, and this tit tied itself around her ankle and pulled her down, its teeth biting

down on her skin as it infused more venom into her body. If Inez were a human, then she would have died then

and there. The snake must have thought so, too, but sirens had much more powerful healing abilities than others

gave them credit for.

Thus, even though the thing continued to twist and turn as it injected shots of venom inside of her, Inez was able

to break through the surface even if it tried to pull her down.

Her swimming skills were coming in handy.

However, Inez knew that it was just a

matter of time; she would sink dqwn,

hissed and tried to reach for her

chest, trying to crush her ribs. The

Frantically, she started to look around because she wanted to find something to use... to defend herself.

Finally, her eyes fell on the alarm that was right next to the kickboard and water toys area. If only she could get

there before the shifter attacked her again —

But something shackled her legs again and this taround it was a pair of hands.
