Killian could feel his wounds tingling—a soothing warmth pierced through the skin that had been burned. She then raised her arm and wiped his face with the help of a handkerchief.
"Thank you, Bubbles." He lowered his head and devoured her mouth, licking, biting and sucking on her bottom lip. Sliding his hand a bit down, he brought her in a princess carry and then said to her, "Let’s go and shower."
Inez smiled. Her eyes flashed as her siren surged to the surface. "What an excuse to get me naked."
"Need to act as a gentleman when I am with you, baby." He returned the smile before taking her to the lodge.
After taking Inez against the shower wall and the bathing tub, with her legs tied around his waist, he returned to the main lodge and discussed with Finn how to tighten the security measures of the pack better. Because of this, Inez didn’t see him until the next morning when she went to the main lodge.
However, she had barely pushed open the door when Killian stepped out. His expression was oddly strained, and he looked terribly upset about something. She was about to ask him what the matter was, but then his hands landed on either side of her, and he turned her around so that she was walking forward without taking a look inside the main lodge.
It confused her, as Inez couldn’t understand why Killian would push her away like this. And somewhere it hurt her too. Maybe it’s because she had been rejected too harshly by her previous pack that she had gotten a bit sensitive about subtle changes like these.
"What happened?" She asked, feeling confused, when the man pushed her out of the lodge.
"Maybe you need to go back to your lodge."
Inez frowned. "Why? What’s wrong?" She inhaled sharply, picking up the scents that were lingering on the front porch. She could smell the scents of Edira, Selene, Laxus, Finn and a few more pack members, but there was someone else. Someone unfamiliar.
"Is that her?" a loud, witch-like voice cracked behind them, and Killian muttered a curse.
"Mom, you really need to stop now!" Selene spoke in outrage as she was wheeled outside the lodge by Laxus. Her eyes flew to Morrineth, who had called her mother to the pack by telling her about Inez.
The woman had the audacity to glare back at her, but the second Laxus growled, the woman lowered her head but remained defiant.
Inez stared at the woman in confusion, and her confusion became even more intense when Killian stood in front of her protectively. As if he were worried that the woman would suddenly go crazy and attack her. Rolling her eyes, she moved to one side and took a look at the woman who looked too similar to Killian, and at the same time, she didn’t because her lips seemed to be fixed in a permanent scowl on her face.
Selene looked beyond livid, while Edira was chewing her lips as if she was trying to stop herself from losing her composure, but given that Inez could hear her curse a few times, she knew that the woman was nowhere near as calm as she was pretending to be.
