Jared was stunned at the actions of the woman; he always thought that this woman was a naive little young lady, but it seemed like he had underestimated her. A woman who could punch a man in the face and even break his nose could never be weak and naive. He gulped, and the words that he originally wished to say, he swallowed them back at once.
Inez snorted when she saw Luca being held by his collar and the woman threatening him to take out the money for her dress that he had ruined. She turned around to leave; however, just as she arrived at the corridor, she met with another obstacle. Dominic.
Her eyes narrowed, and she looked at the man with a hint of annoyance in her eyes. She knew that the man had recognised her. Not as Inez but as Lyla. Her appearance was still the same as the last time the two of them met, except for the fact that she was no longer wearing any contact lenses, which only brought her resemblance even closer to her true appearance.
"Alpha Cherith," Inez greeted the man with a cold voice. She had no intention of getting close to him, but fate seemed to have other plans. It was as if the Moon Goddess herself was angry at them for breaking a bond that she had bestowed on them. Thus, she made them cross their paths again and again.
"Miss Lyla," He nodded his head and pushed himself off the wall against which he was leaning. He looked at her and then glanced at the scene that was happening behind her. He said to her, "You are really too unbridled. Does Alpha Sokolov know that you have such a side?"
"Why does it matter to you?" Inez asked with a quirky raise of her brow. "Whether he knows it or not, I don’t believe that it’s a cause of your concern, Alpha Cherith. Just like how I am not your point of concern."
The second she finished speaking, she could sense that Dominic’s alpha vibes had turned really coercive and strong; it almost strangled and suffocated her, but Inez was not going to let him dominate her, not like he did in the past.
Since she was determined to stay away from him, she turned to walk past him, but then she heard Dominic say, "Come to my side."
"What?" Inez was stunned when she heard his response. A part of her was half certain that she had heard him correctly, but the words alone were so shocking that Inez felt like she was hearing things. "What did you say?"
"Come and stay by my side," repeated Dominic, which surprised Inez so much that she nearly dropped her mouth on the floor. However, Dominic ignored her shocked expression and continued to speak, "If you come to stay with me, then I will take care of you much better than Alpha Sokolov could ever."
"Thanks for the offer, Alpha Cherith." Snapping out of her daze, Inez turned to look at the man with her gaze cold as ice. "However, I have no desire to live like your ex-mate. I have heard all about the things that you have done from Alpha Sokolov, as he was there when your mate fell apart and crumbled after you slept with another woman."
Tao looked at Dominic. He wondered if the man had lost his marbles, but as a beta, he could only follow the command of his alpha. He walked over to where Inez stood and held her by her arm. "No hard feelings here, Miss Lyla."
