Chapter 54

Inez didn’t waste another minute as she logged into the pack web. The second she was in, numerous messages and notifications started flooding in. For two seconds, Inez had no idea what was going on, as she had never received so many messages. Not since she was pinned to the pillar by Dominic.
Her screen froze for a while. And it took several minutes for everything to calm down.
Once the screen was back on, Inez started reading the comments and messages that were sent to her. At first, she couldn’t understand the gist of the situation, but that was until she landed on a video posted by none other than Eve.
The woman was sobbing. And when she said sobbing, Inez meant full-blown sobbing as if she was about to faint. In her video, Eve said a bunch of things, including that she never meant such a thing to happen and that it was only a mistake. She even begged Inez to come back and said that she was willing to leave the pack if her presence made Inez uncomfortable.
“I —sniff—I never thought that Dominic had such intense emotions for me. I… I never meant to hurt you, Inez. But I can understand that this all was very hard for you, as you were rejected by Dom just a few days ago. I am sorry, but please come back— I will leave if it makes you feel better.”
Following those words were even more sobbing.
Inez felt her headache when she heard the woman’s brawling. She stopped playing the video and then blocked the entire Venus Pack. She knew that Eve had a flair for dramatics but Inez had no idea that her passion for acting was this serious.
What did she mean by that she would leave if things became uncomfortable for Inez? That Dominic’s feelings were way too intense, and she couldn’t refuse?
Wasn’t she just trying to tell everyone willing to listen that Inez was one toxic, jealous ex who couldn’t withstand her mate moving on with someone else? The image that Eve had painted of her on the pack web, Inez wondered if she was the one being delusional. That she was indeed the toxic ex who was bullying the kind-hearted lover of her ex-mate.
“I really wonder how you can sleep at night.” Hand over her heart, Ally continued to speak with fake misery. “I suppose I should have expected this from you, after all; not many shifters are unlucky enough to lose their wolves. Only those with the darkest heart and sinful fate would be punished in such a manner by the Moon Goddess.”
A cruel smirk formed on her lips as she asked, “Tell me, how does it feel to be latent? To know your wolf will never return to you?”
“How does it feel to be filled with so much spite that every time you speak, you only spit out poison?” Inez snapped back. She put her phone back in her jeans’ pockets and then turned to look at the woman who was trying to pull her down.
Ally’s smile fell right off her lips.
When Killian stepped inside the kitchen, he noticed the two women glaring at one another. Given that Ally was scowling at Inez as if she wished she could shoot her dead, Killian knew who was winning.
“What’s up, ladies?” Killian mused as he strode inside the open space.
The second he stepped inside, Inez sat up straight. She felt the siren within her stir as her anger was quickly replaced by anticipation. Something Inez was quick to suppress. She turned to look at the man who was walking with a sense of purpose that had her body humming with delight. It flustered Inez a little too.
He turned to look at Ally, who was snarling at Inez, and questioned, “Is there a problem?”
Ally turned to look at him. She pointedly said, “I was just talking to her about the little trouble that she had created.”
“Is that so?” Killian’s voice turned low, and the air around him chilled a little bit. “Last I remember, I was the alpha of the pack. No matter what the trouble, I will handle it. Do you understand this?”
“But–”
“No buts,” Killian stopped Ally from speaking any further. “As you all can see, Miss Sinclair is the only one who could control Sel’s attacks. For the first time, Selene could sleep without suffering another round of attack, and I would like to keep it that way. Unless someone wants to put my sister’s life in danger, you better keep your mouth shut.” This update ıs available on
Ally bristled angrily. She smashed her hands on the table and said to him, “I do understand that you are worried about Selene. But do you really want a lying, backstabbing bitch to be near your sister? What she did is unforgivable, and she had to suffer the consequences for her actions. By allowing her to stay in the pack, you are just trying to harm us all.”
“Harm?” Killian repeated, sounding amused. “What do you mean by being harmed? Is her presence making the sores in your butt throb?”
“Kill!”
“I can hear you just fine,” Killian stated as he sat at the head of the dining table. “But what I cannot understand is how Inez is causing you any harm? As far as I can see, you look perfectly fine to me.”
Ally scowled at him, and so did Edira. She turned to look at her grandson and said to him, “Ally is right, Kill. Though I admit that this woman can help Selene, there is no need to keep her here. We share an alliance with the Venus pack; it’s not right to go to war against them over a woman, is it?”
Killian spared a glance at his grandmother just as a submissive wolf came to serve him his breakfast. He said, “It’s not about her. It’s about Selene, and I will do anything— including going to war for her.”
“Seriously, Kill, how can you be so stubborn? Honestly, if it were your brother—”
