Killian stepped into the office. His gaze swept towards Dominic, who raised his head just in time for their gazes to clash. Killian hooked up his lips in a soft smile as he said to him, "So what did I do to owe this pleasure, Alpha Cherith?"
Dominic stood up from the couch and walked over to the table, where he sat in the chair opposite Killian. He adjusted his jacket and, with his eyes on Killian, he asked, "I believe that you have heard about the shifters’ disappearances?"
"I have," Killian allowed.
"You have," Dominic echoed, his lips thinning. "Then you should have also known that this matter should have been taken to the council for the other shifter’ packs to know about it as well. Don’t you think that you were a tad bit careless regarding the safety of the other packs and shifters?"
Killian tapped his fingers on the table. With a disapproving expression on his face, he stated, "I think you are the one who is in the wrong, Alpha Cherith. First of all, these disappearances are nothing new. As long as you have your wits intact, you will notice things are not as simple as you think they are."
"And just because I didn’t think of telling the council, do you think no one else did?" Killian asked softly as he leaned back on his chair. "The council have not intervened, which means they do not wish to accept these disappearances."
Dominic’s jaw hardened. He questioned, "And you have no intention of letting the council know about N.M.H.?"
Hearing his response, Killian beamed. "Oh, so you paid attention to what I was telling you? It’s a good thing that you were paying attention to the interrogation. That solves a hell of a lot of things."
Impatience flitted across Dominic’s expression as he looked at the alpha lycan. "Can you stop talking in circles? I am here because I want to ask you about this site and whether you were able to break through it or not."
"Does it mean that you were not able to?" Killian questioned with a hint of amusement, and in response, he only received a growl, which made the lycan chuckle. "There is no need for you to be upset. After all, everyone has their own weaknesses and strengths. It’s not a big issue if your pack hackers couldn’t break through the site. I will let Matt help them out. If that’s all, then I believe that we need to go back to our daily routine."
The way he spoke was infuriating enough, but Dominic was not foolish enough to refuse his help; as much as he despised Killian’s arrogance, he had to admit that the man had his own strength. He got to his feet before pausing and taking a look at Killian. "Where is that woman? You bored with her yet?"
Killian did a slow blink. "What woman?" he had to have misheard this guy. There was no way Dominic was still hung up on Inez.
He, however, had underestimated the effect of the mating pull.
Dominic was still under the effect of the mating bond, even though he hadn’t worked on his issues with Inez, which was downright pathetic in Killian’s eyes. His world had been filled with black and white; there was no such thing as grey. Either he wanted one thing or he didn’t.
There was no such thing as push and pull.
