Chapter 154: Hunt for Siren

Inez stiffened. She knew that there was a very good chance that the man was not even talking about her. There might be another siren living in or around the territory, as she had always kept to herself and never stepped out or showed her powers, but at the same time, she was worried.

What if this man was talking about her?

"A siren?" Killian mused as if a siren were not standing next to him. He tilted his head to one side and hummed, "Well—I haven’t seen one, but if you are suspicious, then you are free to search my territory or the ocean if you want."

Inez inhaled a bit sharply, thankful for the commotion that was going around her because if not, someone would have noticed something amiss. She knew that Killian said those words because he wanted to throw Noah off her trail, but at the same time, she was worried.

What if the man stepped forward and claimed that she was the siren? What if he knew it already?

Somewhere, she knew that Killian would not let them take her away, but at the same time, she couldn’t help but be scared of the possibilities.

She pursed her lips and looked at Killian, who calmly glanced at her; the man didn’t seem worried, as his eyes were still twinkling with the same teasing glint, which made her wonder if he already had a plan in his mind.

Noah, too, seemed to have the same thought because Killian looked way too calm. He narrowed his eyes at the pack members of the Red Blood Hill and then said to them, "If any of you knows anything about the siren, you should step forward and let us know about it." His eyes pierced through the many lycans who stood in front of him.

Edira took the lead as she shook her head and answered, "We haven’t. If we had heard anything about a siren, then we would have let the council know." As she finished speaking, she turned around and looked at the pack members behind her.

"That’s right; we would have told the council about it."

"We wouldn’t lie about such a thing."

Sirens were rare creatures, and the council had made countless laws that stipulated that they were not the property of the shifters but the council. These laws were rather severe and could cause them to land in serious trouble if they were caught smuggling sirens. Not that many didn’t.

"I would hope that you are speaking the truth," remarked Noah. "Because I would hate to execute your alpha for keeping a siren under his wings."

The second he finished speaking, Inez reached out and caught Killian’s hand. She knew that hiding a siren from the council was a crime, but she never knew that it was a crime worth bringing Killian to the guillotine for execution.

She squeezed his hand to make sure that the man was standing next to her. Alive and breathing. It was only when Killian squeezed her hand back that she felt a bit relieved.
