Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Chapter 196: Holding onto Tendrils (2)

"You better have a very good explanation for this," said Scarlet as she came to a halt in front of Luca. She didn’t even glance at Blake whose eyes were fixated on her from the second she came down.

Luca stared at the woman who was standing in front of them with her arms crossed as if she had been interrupted while doing a rather important business. "Were you touching yourself?" He asked with a flirty note to his voice.

"Luca." Blake who stood beside him spoke in an alarming yet calm tone. Though the man didn’t say anything further, it was quite clear that he was warning Luca from criossing the line if it existed any further.

"Easy there champion, I am not doing anything," Luca rolled his eyes and stifled the smile that was almost about to break onto his lips.

Scarlet studied the two men in front of her with a hint of mockery. She then said in a low voice with a touch of seduction, "Well, if I was. I wouldn’t have told you?"

"Damn Scar." Blake whipped his head to growl at her just as Luca let out a whistle.

"What are you doing here?" Scarlet questioned ignoring Blake.

"Dominic has called for you," Luca replied with the same flirty voice. He was still smiling but there was something dark about his smile. Scarlet didn’t like it but she knew that there was no denying the call of the alpha. She could only purse her lips and say, "Very well."

Her posture was stiff and her desire to escape this pack doubled fold. Maybe she needed to ask Inez if Killian had a little space for her.

And if he didn’t then she could take a kip in Inez’s backyard. Anywhere was better and safe than here.

Walking out of the house as if she was making her way out of the minefield, Scarlet headed toward the packhouse. As she walked down the lawn, past the well trimmed hedges, she asked, "And can I ask you why he called for me?"

"No."

"Of course, I should have known it," Scarlet let out a sigh. She couldn’t understand why she even bothered.

Dominic had fallen in a whirlpool of hating Inez but still desiring her. His actions were now more instinctive than sensible. As Scarlet strode towards the pack hall, she could see many shifters shuffling their feet as they walked up the rickety path, there was a silence.

One that made everyone suck in a breath and walk around as if they were walking in eggshells.

She couldn’t understand how the pack turned into this mess. noveldrama

They were happy were they not? So how come everything seemed to have changed so much in a matter of time?

The three of them came to a stop in front of Dominic’s office and Luca raised his hand to knock on the door. Just three crisp knocks and the door opened from inside.

Scarlet didn’t even need to take a step inside and she could feel her legs tremble slightly for the entire room was filled with a brooding alpha vibes, it was not enough to make her kneel but still, it was going to be quite stifling.

Sucking in a breath, she stepped inside the room getting the full blast of Dominic’s pheromones and not in a good way.

Her wolf growled inside of her. Though she knew that this was her alpha, Scarlet and her wolf was so in sink that their emotions were alike.

’Do we really need to submit to him?’ her wolf asked inside her head.

"Calm down, girl," said Scarlet. She too had no desire to submit to Killian but this was neither the time or place for their rebellion.

Her wolf let out a growl in her head before turning silent.

Scarlet agreed with her wolf. Dominic had long lost their admiration and respect but her point still stands. She couldn’t go against him, not when he had enough authority to lock her up. And that place was not for wolves.

It was dark, gloomy and —

’Really small. I dislike small places,’

’I know.’

Scarlet huffed. She glanced at Eve who stood beside Dominic and knew that the woman had run to tattle about her little rebellion to Dominic. Not a surprise.

"How may I help you, Alpha?" Scarlet adopted an oily voice as she questioned the man who sat behind the table,brooding as if he had lost more than just his mate. Scarlet was not looking down on the withdrawal symptoms of the mating bond breaking but after what he did to her sister, Scarlet believed that he dsevred more than just a little pain. Maybe getting a cactus showed up his orifices.

But she would make do with the withdrawal for the time being.

"Eve told me that you refuse to comply to her orders and you threatened her with an escape...mirroring the actions of your sister. Is that true?" Dominic asked. His voice was calm and that alone was enough to let Scarlet know that he was furious.

Scarlet glanced at Evelyn who raised her chin haughtily. Alright two could play the game.

"I refuse to listen to the woman who was the cause of my sister’s pain and departure."

Silence descended in the office and Evelyn flinched. She glanced at Dominic,her eyes widening with horror.

Scarlet knew all about how Evelyn had manipulated her way out of the punishment by telling Dominic that as long as she was beside him Inez would return to the pack. And given that she was once Inez’s friend, her conviction should have worked on Dominic.

After all, the reason Dominic had went after Eve was because he wished to hurt Inez in the worst possible way. The woman had enjoyed it while it lasted but Scarlet was going to make her pay for her choices.

Dominic too, if she could.

Her response caused Dominic to pause. He raised his head and look at her. The vibe in the room changed and turned into a gultier one but it was too late. He knew it and she knew it.

"Is there anything else?" Scarlet asked shuffling on her feet.

"I heard you met with Lyra."
