Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha
Chapter 65: N.M.H

Chapter 65: N.M.H

The witch obviously had nerves made of steel. She not only looked Killian in the eyes, but she was also rather calm about the entire thing, even though she was beaten until her face swelled twice its size.

Seeing her like this, Killian curled his lips. He turned his head and scoffed, "

Isn’t she cute? Acting all mighty and strong in front of us?"

"I don’t like this," Inez heard Selene say. She turned to look at the woman in the wheelchair and questioned, "What’s the matter?"

"He is too calm," replied Selene nervously. "I don’t like it when he is this calm." Her brother was notorious for his temper. His beast had the worst temper among all the lycans of their pack, even among lycans. Killian’s temper was the worst.

Though her brother concealed it really well, Selene knew him too well.

"Do we need to worry?" Inez asked, wondering if this was the opportunity to sneak away; she had heard about lycans’ temper, and she didn’t want to be close to one when he was about to lose his temper.

Even kids knew to hide when a lycan lost his or her temper.

"Wait for a minute," replied Selene; she was barely whispering while eyeing the scene in front of her. "If he makes a move to shift, you and I need to get away from here." Killian’s beast tended to turn feral when he was in control.

They didn’t need to be close to him when he was out of control.

Inez turned her head just in time to see Killian’s smile turn feral. "You are doing a great job, but you know what, darling? You don’t piss off a lycan. Do you know why?" he reached out and knotted his fingers in her hair and pulled her up by her neck. "Because if you make me mad, do you know what I will do? I will crush your little body until you are almost a breath away."

"Do your worst," the witch hissed, her forked tongue flicking out of her mouth as she glared at the man angrily.

Killian’s smile turned wide. If not for the fact that she could see the witch with her own eyes, Inez would have thought that the man was speaking to a little bunny.

The man leaned in close and patted the witch on the cheek. He said to her, "You are wrong if you think this is my worst. When I said that I would leave you a breath away, I meant to say that I would ask my pack’s healer to heal you such that I can torment you all over again and again and again until you are willing to speak."

"And if that doesn’t move you," he paused, causing the witch’s breath to hitch in her throat. "You know why lycans are so feared? Because when we attack our prey, we don’t just kill them. We eat them bit by bit. Bones and sinew altogether; unless you want to become my blasphemous dinner, you better speak."

The witch swallowed hard.

When she didn’t speak, Killian arched a brow and pulled her up such that she was dangling in the air like a ragged doll.

Inez winced upon seeing the condition of the witch.

She scrunched up her nose and remarked, "Oof, that’s got to be painful."

"Well, at least it is not we who are in danger." Selene sighed in relief.

Ajax took a menacing step close to the witch. "I see that you are still not speaking. Where did you take our pups?"

"I have no idea," the witch blurted out with a wince.

"Go on," prodded Killian.

"Can you put me down?"

"No."

The witch winced one more time before letting out a sigh of resignation. She looked around the pack, including her mate, as she hoped that the man would help her, but the man was looking at her with utmost revulsion.

"I don’t know anything. I am a halfling. I was never given a place among the pure-blooded witches or wizards. They only call us when they need us."

"So you came here to kidnap the pups? What did you think – that if you followed their commands, you would be given a place among them?" remarked Finn as he observed the witch’s expression.

"I just wanted to be accepted by my own brethren."

Ajax snorted upon hearing her response. "Well, some good it did to you." he tilted his head to one side and stated, "Where are they now? The witches of your brethren? Are they going to come and save you?"

"They will never save a halfling."

If Inez were not so disgusted by the shameless and cruel actions of the witch. She would have felt sorry for the witch, as that woman felt truly aggrieved due to the lack of sympathy and loyalty that the witches had among their own kind.

"Since you have so little sisterhood among yourselves, I don’t think you would mind telling me where the kids were taken to and where these witches’ hideout is?" Killian dropped the witch only to catch her by her throat. She gave her a cautioning squeeze, and the witch wheezed.

"I don’t know. We never stay in one place because you shifters always try to sniff us out."

"Like you all are sweet little cookie girls," remarked Killian with a smile. "Now tell me where they are or how we can reach them. You should know this very well: shifters are protective of their young ones, and you attacked my pack’s pups without understanding what kind of dangerous risk you were taking."

"Can you feel the rage I am feeling at the moment?"

"I told you that I don’t know anything; they just asked me to take the pups out and nothing else."

"Then what do you know?" Laxus finally spoke. His brooding tone echoed in the silence of the surroundings.

The witch fell silent for a moment. She then closed her eyes and said, "N.M.H."
