Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 225: The Girls Code

Inez laughed softly. Her eyes were glinting with a subtle malice as she tilted her head to one side and questioned, "So what if I was?" She then turned to look at Jules before saying to her, "Would you like to come with me? I saw some small desserts that I would like to try." Then, without giving the woman a chance to speak any further, Inez walked away.

Jules glanced at her and then at her so-called friends before turning around on her heels and following Inez. Behind her, she could hear those women calling Inez a lot of names. Names that sounded so rude that even Jules felt her blood boil, even when she was not the one who was getting cursed at.

"Ignore them," said Inez. As a shifter, her hearing was better than humans. Thus, even though those women were whispering, she could hear them with ease. "Just ignore them," she added with as much dignity as she could muster.

"You didn’t have to step in between," said Jules as she glanced at the women who were still whispering among themselves. "I would have been fine. Anyway, it’s not the first time someone has spoken to me like that. It happens all the time." She paused and smiled ruefully, "I sound like a whiny kid, don’t I?"

"No, you don’t."

Jules smiled at Inez.

"Thank you for helping me out, though. My brother-in-law was supposed to take care of me; he promised Fina that he would take care of me, but that man went running the second he smelled the powerful alphas," snorted Jules. "I really cannot understand how that man who resembles the rats on the street could ever become the mate of my cousin. She is so much more than just a licker, and that man is nothing but one."

Jules, however, soon realised that she had overshared the details and turned to look at Inez with a sheepish smile.

"It’s alright; there are times when we need to talk to someone," said Inez. She only hoped that someone wouldn’t be her. She really couldn’t do it. She was not good at comforting; the least Inez could do was to listen when others were talking, but handing out anything more than sharing her own experience was pushing it.

Realising that she might have made the situation a bit awkward, Jules said to Inez, "How come you never called me? I was waiting for your call, but you never did."

Was that a whine that she was detecting? Thought Inez. She was not sure about why someone like Jules would even want to befriend her or why she was waiting for her call. But she appreciated Jules nonetheless. It was a bit comforting, knowing that someone wanted to be with her as her friend. Of course, if the woman ever found out that she was a siren, there was a very good chance that things might go downhill right that very second.

"I wanted to call you, but I lost your number." Inez came up with the most random excuse she could as she took a sip of the cherry soda. "The little strip was washed along with my clothes."

"Oh, that... could always happen," remarked Jules with a frown. "I remember doing it loads of times. Here, hand me your phone; I will punch in my number. That way we can talk even when we are not together."

Jules finished putting her number in Inez’s phone and then handed it back to her. She then said to Inez, "You have no idea how bored I am while staying here. I asked my father to bring me back home, but he doesn’t listen, which is weird because my dad has never said no to me. He would bring me a roasted ox if I told him that I was feeling peckish. It’s the first time he has told me no."

She crossed her arms and muttered, "It’s weird. Because it has never happened."

Inez couldn’t say anything regarding this because she had never felt the love of a parent in the way Jules had. Her mother wanted to keep her as downtrodden as possible. Maybe she thought that as long as she could suppress Inez, the siren side—the one side that she detested—would be squashed and killed.

She is an idiot. No mortal can ever control the sea; they can imagine and dream of it, but they could never do it. Nor can they destroy the creatures of the sea, her siren murmured within her.

Inez wanted to point out that the shifters had killed a bunch of sirens, mermaids and many other sea creatures, but she realised that it was not the right topic to discuss at the moment. Anyway, back to the topic—she had never been pampered rotten by her only parent. Thus, she truly couldn’t understand what was weird about the entire situation.

Did parents really care about their children so much that they would never say ’no’ to them? Because that was all Inez had ever heard from her mother every time she opened her mouth and faced the woman.

The thought of such a thing happening was what struck Inez as weird, if she was being honest. noveldrama

"I know that people like to bitch about me behind my back. I am used to them doing it; after all, how many times have they called me names? They still call me a spoiled princess, which is getting kinda boring. The least they could do was to at least try and come up with a new name," chuckled Jules with a hint of mockery in her tone. She picked up the glass of wine from the tray without knowing what she was doing and gulped it down. "I mean, if they want to bully me, at least put a bit of substance to it."

Another glass.

Another wince.

This time around Inez noticed what was going on and turned to stop the woman, "Hey, thats not soda—"

"I just cannot understand why no one wants to be friends with me. Am I not hot and dashing enough?"
