Chapter 15: Leaving the pack

Inez felt her body jerk forward and slam on the ground. Because she had been unprepared for this sudden attack, she didn’t even have the time to stop herself from hitting the gravel. Her chin smashed on the hard ground and Inez tasted blood.

How delightful. This was just the thing she needed. She turned around and looked at the woman who had pushed her and frowned when she found it was none other than Helen. Though the woman was a powerful enforcer under Luca, she was also a skilled stalker.

There was this incident where Inez had caught this woman staring at Luca in the middle of the night with infrared goggles. But why was she—

Oh.

Inez gritted her teeth when she realised how perfectly she had been schemed against.

Luca must have known that Helen was watching them, and he must also know about her feelings, which was why he used Helen against Inez.

She marvelled over how that man could make Helen do his dirty work without even saying a single word. No wonder it took so long for Inez to find out that the man was behind the bullying as well.

She masked her pain and tried to get up from the ground; the pain due to her bad fall made Inez wince but what made her wince harder was Helen catching hold of her hair and pulling her hard.

"Was it fun? Did you think it was funny? I told you about my feelings, Inez!" Helen screamed so hard that her voice cracked and Inez had to close her eyes to stop herself from physically flinching.

She looked at her as if Inez had betrayed their friendship but honestly, they had no such relationship. At most—

This woman had indeed told her about the feelings that she had for Luca and had once asked Inez to help her deliver a love letter to Luca when they were fourteen. She had done that but Inez didn’t know whether Luca had bothered to write a reply or not.

Not that it had deterred Helen.

"It is not what you think," Inez gasped as she tried to pry Helen’s fingers off her hair.

"Bullshit," the woman snapped as she pulled Inez along with her and slammed her head on the hood of the car harshly. "I saw it with my own eyes; you kissed him."

"Then you need to get your eyes checked!" Inez screamed back. "It was him who leaned closer; how can I be the one to kiss him? Not that it happened."

"Then it must be you who seduced him inside the car," Helen countered. Luca had been a god-like figure in her eyes and she could never believe that he would pay attention to a woman. Especially someone like Inez. "It must be you. You must have done something."

She kept repeating the same thing as if she had lost her mind.

Inez cursed Luca as she kicked the woman on the shin with the back of her boots. Helen must have thought that she would not fight back, which was why she let out a yelp and released her hold on Inez’s hair.

Taking advantage of her momentary distraction, Inez turned around and ran towards the exit of the parking lot where her truck was parked. But before her fingers could touch the handle of the door, Helen tackled her down and rolled to the right such that she was straddling Inez.

"No wonder, Alpha Dom would rather refuse you than claim you as his mate. Betrayal is in your blood, Inez!" Helen raised her fist and brought it down heavily on Inez’s face.

Inez felt pain explode over her eye and her vision turned blurred. She tried to shake off Helen but the woman was like a mad dog. She didn’t leave Inez alone even though she was scratched and bitten.
