"We need to get another lead," said Killian as he dropped his hand and looked at the ceiling of the lodge. It was as if he were trying to pry open the skull of the gods above and see what was ahead of them.
Inez didn’t know what he was thinking, but something about his expression was off. It made the siren in her whimper, and a tug in her gut told her that something was about to go wrong. Very wrong. There was something out there, and he or she was waiting for them to make a mistake such that they could take their pack down in one swoop.
"We will be fine," sensing her worry, Killian reached out and took her hand in his. "There is nothing to worry about."
"Yeah," Inez smiled as she changed the topic of the conversation, "I submitted the application to the competition."
"Thats great, Bubbles—"
The rest of his words were interrupted by the ringtone of his phone. Killian smiled at her apologetically before fishing his phone out and answering it. "Yes?"
"You need to come out and see this, Kill. This is crazy."
When Inez heard Finn’s words, her heart jumped slightly. She had a very bad feeling about whatever this was.
"I got it," Killian responded as he got to his feet.
Inez followed right after him.
"You can stay here," he told her. "Whatever this is, it won’t be a pretty sight."
"I am used to seeing sights that are not pretty," Inez told him. The man paused and turned to look at her while holding the knob of the door. He stared at her for, like, two seconds before nodding. "If you throw up, I am not going to clean up the mess, just letting you know. So you might as well pack a pair of new shoes."
"I am not going to throw up," said Inez as she rolled her eyes.
"You will change your mind soon enough."
Inez narrowed her eyes at that remark. She tore after the man who was now heading toward the boundary of the territory and spoke to him in a suspicious voice, "Why are you speaking as if you know what’s there?"
"Let’s say I have had a few altercations with the witches, and I know that anything related to them can never be pretty," Killian said to her. His eyes fell on the woman walking beside him with a frown on her face, and it took everything in him not to reach out and smoothen that crease.
It should terrify him. The impact that Inez had on him, but for some reason, she brought this calm and peace to his soul, which he had never felt before.
If not for the silence of his beast, he would have thought that she was his mate. His second chance mate.
’You haven’t dropped your guard enough for me to see. Neither has she,’ said his beast in his mind.
’You guys sure are complicated,’ muttered his beast.
’Shut up,’ said Killian. ’For someone who just cares about shagging shouldn’t be speaking.’
’I don’t hear you complaining.’
’So you admit that you are one big pervert?’
