Inez, who was walking down the path to her lodge, was frowning hard. She was still lost in her thoughts and was not watching where she was going. As she walked, she didn’t see that someone was walking in front of her, which led to Inez bumping into the person.
"Ouch!"
Inez looked up, and her gaze fell on the woman whom she had met in the sushi restaurant. Unlike the last time, the woman was no longer in a mess, as her mascara was not dripping down her face.
Inez was quite surprised to see the woman in the Red Blood Hill pack, but when she remembered that this woman was Killian’s mating match, she slightly frowned, but realising that it was not the fault of this woman, she asked, "Are you alright?"
"I am alright," replied Jules with a nervous smile on her face. "I didn’t know that you were a member of this pack. Were you alright after that little prank?" Jules was still in awe. Her sister and father had told her about Killian so many times, and each time they spoke of him as if the man were some kind of big, bad monster.
Because of this, she was really scared of that man. However, after seeing him getting doused with blood, Jules was no longer as terrified of him as she was in the past.
Inez’s smile turned a bit awkward. She nodded and replied, "As you can see, I am perfectly fine."
"I am glad that you are alright," said the woman with a relieved smile on her face. "Though I have to say that it was quite impressive; that was my first time seeing Alpha Sokolov in such an embarrassing situation. Though he deserves every bit of it, can you believe him? He actually told my father that I was the one who did it to him. It got me the scolding of the century."
When Inez heard the complaints of the woman, she was slightly stunned. She blinked her eyes and questioned, "Killian—he blamed you for that prank?"
"That’s right," the woman nodded with a light furrow between her brows. "He told my dad that I didn’t like the mating match and embarrassed him in such a manner. I bet you—I have never seen my father screech like that in my entire life. He was yelling as if I had done something really embarrassing."
"Kept talking about the honour and pride of the Drakos family. Like dumping a little bucket of pig blood would ruin our years-long history of greatness." The woman rolled her eyes at the very thought.
"I am really sorry," Inez apologised. Even though she didn’t know the woman and her siren was still stifling her anger, thinking about how this woman was Killian’s mating match, Inez still felt a bit sorry for her.
This woman was blamed for something that she hadn’t done.
"It’s alright," Jules waved her hand with a smile on her face. "At least it was quite cool. Even if others find out about it, they will only call me crazy, not a fool." She looked quite satisfied about it.
’A close save,’ she thought.
