Chapter 59

Morrineth was certain that Inez was only pretending in front of the pack. How could a woman who had nowhere to go resist the temptation? She must be hiding her true intentions and when they were no longer guarding against her, that was when she would show them.
“Kill has lost his mind. For the sake of solving his itch, he has brought that woman to the pack and even risked going to war against the Venus pack. I really have no words to say about this.” she then turned to look at her children and questioned, “Why don’t you all try to stop him? If this goes on, then his reputation, along with ours, would be burnt to a crisp.”
“You are thinking too much, mother,” remarked Nyx. “Kill must know what he is doing; I don’t think he is foolish enough to go to war for a woman.”
“Does he? If he did, then why did he bring Alpha Cherith’s mate to our pack? And don’t even get me started on the fact that she is his ex mate. I know very well how the possessiveness of a shifter and that too of an Alpha works. There is no way he will be willing to let Inez be with someone else,” Morrineth stated with a frustrated sigh.
She turned to look at her daughter’s picture and wondered out loud, “Maybe if Lyra were here, then we wouldn’t be in so much trouble.”
Fenric scoffed. “He used to beat her, mom. Do you think that Kill would care about Lyra if she was here?” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ.net
“Every mate has their own way to go along with their mates—”
“All I see is that you were so blinded by the perfect ending for yourself that you never saw anything other than that,” Fenric snapped as he stood up from his chair with a smack on the armrest. “Your daughter was killed; you should be hating that person who ruined everything for her, not daydreaming about things that are no longer possible.”
“Think before you speak, Fenric,” Morrineth warned her son. “That’s your alpha; you swore your loyalty to him when you came to this pack with him.”
“The only reason I followed him was because I don’t want him to forget what he had done any time soon. If not, I would not have bothered coming to this place.”
Fenric held no respect for Killian. He just liked making things difficult for Killian at every turn. Just like how he didn’t hate Inez but he hated the fact that she was getting the respect that his sister deserved but couldn’t get. Why was it that the woman was given so much admiration and respect while all his sister got was humiliation?
She was Killian’s mate!
He could still remember the time when his sister returned home with a swollen eye and an uppercut to her lips.
He was only sixteen back then and Lyra returned home really late. Back then, he went to play a game with his friends and snuck out of the house. Thus, when he returned home, he ran into Lyra, whose face was badly bruised.
’What’s wrong with you?’ He had demanded it the second he saw the injuries on his sister’s face. ’Who did this to you?’
Fenric was horrified, not only because he was afraid that his sister was getting bullied but also because he couldn’t understand why Killian had not stopped someone from hitting his sister in such a harsh way.
’I will go and ask Kill what he means by this. How can he not save you when someone was bullying you—’
’No!’ However, his sister was horrified with the idea of him confronting Killian. She held his wrist and shook her head before saying to him, ’No, you won’t. Promise me, Fenric. You will not go to Kill… no one bullied me.’
’How can you say such a thing while looking like that?’ Fenric snapped angrily when he saw the terrified look on the face of his sister. ’Someone hit you so heavily and you want to hide them? Shouldn’t you be telling Kill—’ when he saw the fear in her eyes, he understood something and questioned sharply, ’Is it Killian? It was him, right?’
Lyra shook her head and repeated while clutching his wrist, ’Just promise me. Don’t tell anyone; I will be fine… I promise that it will get better.’
However, whatever it was —it never got better. Not even when his sister’s life was lost.
So how could he allow someone like Killian to live a peaceful life? something that his sister could never get?
Returning to the present, Fenric clenched his teeth; he had tried everything to make Killian feel guilty for what he had done but the man had only irked him. Treating him like a child who didn’t understand anything.
There was a knock on the door and a submissive lycan appeared at the front porch. Seeing this, Nyx walked over and opened the door, and the submissive lycan entered the room while carrying a cardboard box.
“What’s this?” Morrineth asked as she looked at the bag.
“Ah, it’s just a little something that I bought.” Nyx recalled that she had ordered something a while ago. She turned to look at the omega who bowed and walked out of the room just in time, as Nyx reached out and pulled the box over the tea table.
She said to her mother, “I brought you something good, mom.”
Hearing the tone of mystery in her note, Morrineth frowned, but a second later her eyes widened in shock as she looked at the gift that Nyx had pulled out from her box.
“This—what is this?” She stammered as she looked at the luminous, wispy pearl that Nyx was holding in her hand. “Is that—”
“It’s a Siren’s tears,” Nyx nodded with a smile. “It took me a lot of effort to get my hands on this precious thing, Mum.”
