Chapter 5

Inez turned on her feet and walked away; she didn’t wait for anyone to throw her out of the hall or for Dominic to hurl another round of jeers and taunts at her.
However, just as she took three steps, a wall made of muscles and raw masculinity came to a stop in front of her. Inez raised her head and looked at Tao; like Dom,he was her best friend as well but after the summer, he also turned into a jerk just like Dominic.
“You are going just like that?” Tao said to her with a jeer. “We haven’t even finished yet, the last remaining ceremony of this fantastic rejection.”
He then turned to look at Ron, who was hugging his mother’s neck and called out to him, “Hey boy, do you want to see trash going in the trash can?”
Inez’s eyes widened as she looked up at Tao, who stared down at her with a grin on his face. But his eyes—oh those darned eyes—remained two chips of ice.
“I want to! I want to!” the snotty brat yelled in glee and at some point others joined as well but Inez continued to look at Tao.
“Please,” she pleaded with him. She had enough. Inez had no idea what and why Tao and the rest were doing this to her, but she couldn’t do it— she couldn’t take it anymore.
“Words like ’please,’ do not suit sinners like you,” Tao growled at her and before Inez could open her mouth to defend herself, a disgusting scent filled her nostrils, followed by something gooey and sticky trickling down her head, past her shoulders, and into her clothes.
Inez blinked her eyes and looked up at Tao, who was holding a dustbin in his hands. And that dustbin had been overturned on her head.
“HAHAHAHA!”
“Mom, the trash is in the trash can! Hahaahaha!”
Tao appraised Inez’s expression as if waiting for the rage to explode but when it didn’t, he looked at Ron and the Fawcetts before saying, “Is this enough, Mrs. Fawcett?”
“Of course,” said the woman before saying in a hypocritical voice, “I think you went a bit too far. The poor girl looks like she is going to cry.”
“Not at all, Mrs Fawcett.” Blake, who stood next to Dom, smiled and said in a polite voice, “The trash of our pack dared to make you upset; this is the least we could do. Not to mention it’s quite upsetting to have someone like her as our Luna; take it as if we are cleaning up our trash. As for crying–”
“You do not have to worry about that.” Inez raised her hand and wiped her face before pushing the locks of her hair back. She turned and looked at Blake, completely ignoring Dom. “No matter how worthless I am in your eyes, I will not waste my tears on cold-hearted bastards like you. So I am sorry, the show’s over.”
With that, she turned on her feet and walked past Tao, making sure to bump as hard as she could into his shoulders.
Even if that man might not feel anything as she was too weak compared to him, Inez wished to inflict even the tiniest bit of pain on these men as they had done to her. Dıscover more novels at.net
“Inez Sinclair, what did you do now?”
Now, she loved her mom. Had loved her from the very moment she gained consciousness but she really wished that her mother could be a tad bit polite and loving to her.
Like, what happened to you, sweetie? How was your day? Did you have a good time? Were you bullied? Or what’s with the trash that’s sticking to your clothes and hair? Who did it to you?
However, Maria Sinclair was too lost in her own perfectionist world to care about these little things. What she cared about was what her daughter did to piss off the Alpha, as it could threaten her peace and the position of her son.
“Good to see you too, Mom.” Inez greeted her mother as she took off her heels and walked inside the house, ignoring the way the fabric of her dress clung to her. As for what kind of nasty liquid was trickling down on her skin, Inez didn’t want to think about it.
If she did, she would throw up. And God forbid if that Nora Loui carpet were to get dirty. Her mother would rip her a new one.
“Do you think it’s funny, Inez? Because it’s not?” Mrs. Sinclair came face to face with Inez before snapping angrily, “Can’t you stop causing trouble for me and your brother for just one day?”
Of course, her mother was going to say this to her. Inez didn’t even know why she even bothered to hope that her mother would look past all the shiny and glittery benefits she could get by licking Dominic’s arse and care for her.
She took off her jacket and dumped it in the trash can before saying to her mom, “Well, I am sorry. I know I should have thanked them for dumping the entire trash can on my head, Mom but you know I was trying hard to not drink something icky lest your reputation gets ruined by it.”
“Don’t talk to me in that tone, young lady,” snapped Maria just as Inez walked past her, who chased right after her, hot on her heels, as she exclaimed angrily, “Do you even understand what is on the line here, huh? Your brother had put his heart and soul into getting a chance to work right under Tao, the beta of the pack. As long as he is accepted by Tao, the whole pack will have to accept your brother.”
“Ricky has done so much for our family while you have only caused trouble. Because of him, the bullying has lessened and we no longer have to walk around as if we are walking on eggshells. While you have only caused our family to be humiliated and trampled on. Now I only hope for you to stay quiet and go with the flow; is it that hard?”
