Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha
Chapter 110: A Second Chance

Chapter 110: A Second Chance

Pain crept into her heart, and Inez clenched the fork in between her fingers. She exhaled heavily and said to Killian, "I did learn a few tricks from my grandmother; after all, cooking is like the basic skill for survival."

It was a lie, and Killian knew that it was a lie, but he didn’t question her. Nor did he say another word when he saw the tears in her eyes. Even though his heart was breaking apart at the sight of her tears. His beast let out a roar inside of him, and Killian almost dropped to his knees to ask Inez how to make everything alright.

How to make this stop? Because as long as she was willing to stop crying, he was willing to do anything.

The pull alone was enough to make his heart clench with worry and anxiety. It also scared him. Killian had never faced or seen a woman in his life who had a power as strong as Inez had over him. He was the alpha of lycans, and with the blood of the lycan king flowing in his veins, how could he even think of kneeling in front of a woman?

The thought alone was terrifying in itself.

Why would an alpha even want to kneel in front of a latent?

Killian rose to his feet, and Inez raised her head. She had calmed down enough to will away her tears and was now looking at him with a frown on her face. "Is something the matter?" she asked.

"It’s nothing," Killian calmly replied, even though the ripples within his heart made him panic inwardly. He glanced at the woman and, for the first time since he brought Inez to the pack’s territory, he realised that he might have brought a lot more than just some slightly troublesome siren.

"Have you maybe considered that she might be your mate?"

After making his abrupt escape from the lodge where Inez lived, Killian returned to his office before sharing his deepest and most profound secret feelings with Finn. The man had calmly listened to him without saying a word throughout the entire time, and once Killian had finished speaking, Finn parted his lips and asked a question which made laughter bubble in Killian’s throat.

"You are forgetting that my mate is dead, Finn," Killian barked. Just the very thought of that woman made his skin crawl. The pack only knew what Lyra wanted them to know; she had never, not once, let them find out what she had done and what kind of secrets she had carried.

Her personality was carved and moulded to that of elegance and refined arrogance. She was like the little princess of the Virella family.

Something Morrineth had often claimed.

The mask that she had worn was so refined that even Killian couldn’t see her for what she was.

Sometimes he even wondered if there was some sort of mismatch up above in the sky. Mates usually balanced out one another. If one were darkness, then the other had to be the light. He was twisted enough in his head for his mate to be the same. But Killian knew the pull that he felt when he turned eighteen was not a mistake.

"I am not claiming that Lyra was not your mate or that you made a mistake on your part," Finn stated in a quiet voice. With a thoughtful look on his face, he continued, "There have been instances where shifters who have a failed mating would end up finding a second chance mate. It could happen to you, too, Kill. Maybe Inez might be the second opportunity that you have been waiting for."

His mate? Killian shook his head. He didn’t quite believe it. "I would have sensed it if she were my mate. I did it the last time with Lyra."

"That’s because you were eighteen and looking forward to meeting your mate," Fiinn corrected him sagely. "However, after what happened with Lyra, you seemed to have put your guard up. With your mind and soul so guarded, I don’t think you will sense it. What’s more, for one to sense that they are mates, they need to bare their all... You might not be prepared for that."

Finn was indeed correct. After what happened with Lyra, forget about baring his all to someone; he didn’t even want to tell a female shifter that he couldn’t even taste anything that he ate. That he had lost more than he had gained every time he had loved someone.

"Then she would—"

Finn scoffed as if he were amused by the suggestion alone. He crossed his arms and pushed the glasses up the bridge of his nose. He said to him, "She was abandoned in the worst possible way by her ex-mate, Kill. Do you think she will be eager to trust another man? I asked around, you know.. About what happened to her in her previous pack."

Killian raised his head upon hearing his beta’s response. He frowned and remarked, "Did you not say that no one was willing to talk about it since Dominic passed down the order to his packmates?"

"He did." Finn took out the information that he had collected and dumped it in front of Killian. "However, Dominic is not an excellent alpha that everyone would want to follow, Kill. His judgement is —especially at the moment — causing quite a ruckus in their pack."

Killian, however, was not listening. His eyes flickered left and right as he read through the information that was printed on the paper. By the time he finished reading the report, his beast was growling, and he too wanted to break the pact of not murdering another alpha without the approval of the council.

Killian didn’t believe that Dominic didn’t sense the pull of the mating bond. He was older than Inez, and he must have sensed it. Even if he had not sensed it directly, he would have sensed it subtly. And yet he refused to acknowledge it leaving his mate to suffer in his hands?
