Chapter 153: People from the council

One evening, Inez was returning to the lodge after another session. The cobblestone path had been washed away by the rainwater and covered with moss, causing her to slip and skid with every step she took. She was about to turn around and head over to her lodge when she suddenly heard the sound of cars coming to a stop.

Pausing, she turned around and looked in the direction from which the sound came. However, the second she turned her head to look at the car, which had stopped in front of the rest, her eyes widened when she saw the person who had stepped out.

"Dominic?" Inez was surprised to see Dominic standing in front of her.

The man was wearing a leather jacket with fur around the collar, with a matching shirt and cargo pants. As he looked around, his gaze fell on Inez, who stiffened like a deer caught in headlights. She noticed how his eyes darkened as if the stormy cloud had taken hold of them.

Inez sucked in a breath before turning her gaze away from him and looking at the man who stepped out of the car after him. The man was wearing a grey coat that had a lapel fold. His brown hair was slightly windswept as he looked around the territory with a stern expression on his face.

"Lyla."

Hearing the familiar voice calling out to her, Inez raised her head and looked at Dominic, who had come to a stop in front of her at some point. Her siren lunged to her surface, as she had not quite forgotten the video that had been posted on the NHM site. Even Inez wanted to let her siren take over, but she stopped herself in due time, for she feared a war between the two packs.

Though the lycans in this pack were crazy as hell and might even welcome a war, Inez didn’t want to be the key to start that war.

She lowered her head and suppressed the urge to rip Dominic’s head off his shoulders. She narrowed her eyes and raised her head to look at the man in front of her. She said to him, "Alpha Cherith, what are you doing here?" Once her rage had died down, what followed was surprise. She raised her hand and looked at her wristwatch, and saw that it was quite late.

So what was this man doing here, and that too at this hour?

"I am a member of the council. We received word that there was a witch hiding in the Red Blood Hill pack, and she was recently caught. Since Killian didn’t let anyone in the council know about it, we are here to check if there are any other unknown creatures hiding in this pack. One cannot be sure about it."

Selene, who had arrived with Laxus, was stunned when she heard Dominic’s words. Her eyes flickered to Inez, who stood in front of Dominic, and she exchanged a glance with Laxus, their hearts skipping a beat. Fortunately, there was a loud commotion going on around the territory with the arrival of the council members, and no one paid any attention to them.
