Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 190: Who Are You Calling Riffraff (2)?

Evelyn looked at the redheaded woman with a suspicious look in her eyes. However, even after looking at the redheaded woman for a long time, she couldn’t see the slightest similarity between her and Inez; thus, the suspicion in her eyes reduced a little, but she still didn’t drop her guard.

She smiled at Inez sweetly and questioned, "Do you know our Scar?"

Her gaze ping-ponging between the two of them.

"No," Inez replied with a shake of her head. She then said in a calm voice, "We were just talking while my friends looked for a dress." As if waiting for her to say this, Jules walked over. She was clutching a mermaid dress in her hands and said to Inez, "Lyra, what do you think about this dress? Do you think it will suit me?"

Inez turned to look at the dress that Jules was holding in her hands and cleared her throat. She said to her, "I don’t think that it will fit you well, Jules."

"You mean to say that the dress is too big for me?" Jules sighed as she looked down at her figure. "My sister did say that I have an hourglass figure and it’s hard to get a dress that would fit me like a glove."

Inez pursed her lips as she took a double take. She was quite sure that with how flat Jules looked, there was no way the woman had an hourglass figure. But she didn’t say anything; instead, she simply said to the woman, "Why don’t you go for the A-line dresses? Maybe that will suit you better?"

"I—"

"Miss Drakos!" Evelyn suddenly spoke up. Her voice was breathy and filled with awe when she looked at Jules. She held her hand out and said to Jules, "Hello, it’s nice to meet you. I am Evelyn... you might have heard about me, I presume?"

Jules frowned. It was quite clear from the confusion in her eyes that the woman didn’t recall meeting with Evelyn at all, but she still took the latter’s hand and said, "It’s a pleasure to meet you."

Evelyn looked like she was about to pass out then and there. She took her hand back from Jules and questioned, "Miss Drakos, what are you doing here?"

"I am shopping with my friend," Jules replied, sounding positively bemused. Inez was sure that she was trying to recall where she had seen Evelyn, or maybe it had something to do with her upbringing. To be polite and elegant, even if she couldn’t understand the situation.

"Your friend?" Evelyn paused and turned to look at Inez; her eyes turned contemptuous, and she said to Jules, "Miss Drakos, if you don’t mind. Then you can come with me, and I will keep you company. It’s better to stay with me than with riff-raff like her."

As soon as Evelyn finished speaking, Jules’s eyes turned hard like burning stones. She looked at Evelyn with a harsh glare and then said to her, "I am sorry, but did you just call my friend a riffraff?"

"Miss Drakos, I was just—"

"Just what? Do you think I cannot tell the right person to befriend?" Jules sniffed and questioned harshly, and Evelyn flinched as if she had been whipped. Though Inez was never one to take joy in someone’s humiliation, Evelyn was different.

This woman was her friend; even when her brother bullied her, Inez had never treated Evelyn any differently. Until she used Dominic’s anger and pain against Inez and replaced her.

"I didn’t mean... I didn’t mean that." Evelyn paled as she shook her head and refused at once. "I just wanted to say that I am a much better company—"

"Someone who talks down in their face? No, thanks. I am good." Jules stopped Evelyn from speaking any further; she then turned to look at Inez and said to her, "Let’s go; you can tell me what kind of dresses you think will suit me."

Inez nodded. She got to her feet and turned to look at Scarlet, though her heart was heavy that their time was so short, Inez knew that she couldn’t stay any longer than this with Scarlet without making Evelyn suspicious.

She said, "If you want, you can come to look for me at the Red Blood Hill."

Scarlet’s eyes flashed. She nodded with a smile and said, "I will."

Inez smiled back and then turned to walk away.

Once she was out of earshot, Evelyn started tapping her feet on the floor and drawled, "Well?"

"Well, what?" Scarlet questioned back.

She arched her brow as if Evelyn’s question didn’t make any sense.

"Who is she? And why were you talking with her?" Evelyn asked with a snap. Her eyes flashing wolf because of her anger.

Scarlet shrugged. "A member of the Red Blood Hill pack. You heard her."

"Then why were you talking with her?" Evelyn questioned again, her tone heavy with suspicion.

"Because she was sitting next to me." Scarlet rolled her eyes and said to Evelyn, "Do you want me to stay quiet if someone talks to me?"

"You are not the kind of person who likes to make small talk."

"That doesn’t mean that I don’t do it," Scarlet spoke a bit more harshly. "And I don’t like to do small talk with idiots. That woman has her wits intact, so she was a better company than some idiots."

Evelyn’s eyes set ablaze when she heard Scarlet say those words. "Watch it. You are already walking on thin ice, Scar."

"So what!?" Scarlet snapped as she got to her feet and dumped all the bags on the floor. She had been holding back because she was worried that Inez wouldn’t be able to find her if she were to move packs, but now that she knew where Inez was, Scarlet didn’t want to hold back anymore. She glared at Evelyn and stated coldly, "Maybe I will take a leaf out of Inez’s book and run away from the pack as well." noveldrama

"You wouldn’t!" Evelyn’s eyes widened.

"Try me."
