Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 221: Let Nature Guide You

Killian raised his head and looked at the man who had knocked a glass of wine on the floor. His eyes swept up to the face of the man, and he hummed. "I wonder how good of an alpha he is if he cannot even take care of just a glass of wine."

His remark turned Nyx’s face red. She glanced up at him, and he glanced down at her. A second later, she said to him, "I never thought that you judged a person’s capabilities with their ability to hold a glass of wine."

"Of course I don’t," Killian stated with a hint of amused thoughtfulness. "I judge them by their courage to speak to me instead of hiding behind an overenthusiastic woman who thinks that she can change my mind."

"You misunderstood my intentions, Kill," Nyx blinked her eyes with an innocent expression. She tilted her head to one side. "Alpha Black simply brought up the topic of alliance, and I told him that I will mention it to you. There was no such thing as me being enthusiastic." noveldrama

"Is that so?" remarked Killian with a hint of amusement in his tone as he picked up the glass of vodka from the tray, which the server was carrying as he walked past him.

"It is indeed so," Nyx said. Her gaze then drifted to where Dominic was standing, and her lips curled up with a hint of disregard. "And talking about being overenthusiastic, I never thought that I would see you causing trouble for the pack. You know, I thought you knew better than to cause a rift between our pack and the Venus pack. They have an alliance with us, don’t they?"

While sparks flew in the ballroom behind her, Inez was looking for Selene. However, as she returned to the spot where she had left Selene behind, she realised that the woman was no longer there, and even Laxus couldn’t be found. For a second, she wondered if the two of them were engaged in a kind of hanky-panky, but Inez forced that thought out of her head.

She knew Selene was not that kind of person. She would never elope from a party to get the deed done.

With her brows furrowing even harder, Inez made her way through the throng of people and headed past the women who were talking with Selene when Inez left her alone. The blonde was now engaged in a heated conversation about the latest heels from the S&M brand. Though Inez didn’t understand the context of their conversation, she could see that it was quite important to the blonde. No wonder Selene was not with her.

She paused and turned to look around the ballroom, her brows creasing when she realised that she couldn’t find Selene. This made her worried because where had Selene gone? A woman in a wheelchair could not just disappear in thin air.

"Is she outside?" Inez mused to herself as she walked toward the entrance from where she had come earlier, wondering if Selene had stepped out of the ballroom because she felt stifled. Inez wouldn’t blame her if she had.

However, as she stepped past the doors, the hem of her dress swept across the marble floor.

Inez paused at the last stair and turned to look around the dark surroundings, but she didn’t see Selene.

However, she noticed Laxus. He was looking around the thick trees that eventually led to the forest that surrounded the territory, looking quite worried. Seeing him like this, Inez felt her heart skip a few beats. She hurried down to where the man was standing and questioned him, "What happened? Why are you here, and where is Selene?"

When Laxus turned around and saw her, his face was filled with relief. "I don’t know. She asked me to go and get something to drink, but when I returned, she was gone. Gosh, I shouldn’t have done that. I should have stayed with her, especially when I know how others treat her."

He scrubbed his hands down his face with a hint of annoyance.

Inez sensed that there was more to what he was not telling her, but she knew that it was not the time for her to talk about what happened. They needed to look for Selene first. She frowned and asked, "Did you check her lodge?"

"That’s the first place I went when I realised that she was missing, but she is not there."

That meant she was hiding. Moon Goddess, those people who were behind this had better escape before she could find Selene, thought Inez.

"I will go and look for her," said Inez. "You know her better than me, so you should know where she will go when she is upset. So look for her there."

"Alright."

The two of them separated, and before Inez headed down the southern side of the territory, she had no idea where she was going but sirens had these habitual instincts that were better than the shifters. They would let nature guide them, and with the ocean near them, these senses were better and much stronger.

She closed her eyes and opened her senses, allowing the aether to stretch far and wide and started walking as if she had turned blind for a few seconds.

Inez allowed nature to lead and surrendered herself to them, something that the book had told her. With only one thought in her mind, that was to find Selene.

But she is not our prey; her siren side spoke to her within her head.

Of course she wasn’t but as long as it worked, who cared about it?

Inez continued walking past the rocky trail, ignoring the way the hem of her dress got caught in the thorny bushes. She was about to turn left when suddenly her feet came to a stop and Inez opened her eyes. She raised her head and turned to look to the right. And that was —
