Realization crossed across Inez’s expression as she started to struggle against Dominic’s hold. She gave him a hard look and said to him, "Let go of me, Dominic."
However, the man didn’t let go of her hand. He pulled her across the table and nearly slammed her hand on the inkpad. Her eyes flared with anger as she placed her foot against the leg of the table and pulled her hand back before it could touch the ink pad.
She might be a half shifter but she was one nonetheless. Her pride was just as strong as any dominant female shifter, and Inez didn’t like how Dominic was dragging her around like a rag doll. She stared at his eyes, but she could not find any guilt for the humiliation and pain he had brought her yesterday.
It only infuriated Inez.
"I said let go," she snarled at him. Her eyes were burning with small flames as Inez pulled her hand away from Dominic. She would have liked to say a hell lot of things to him but Inez knew that this was not the time to listen to her heart but her head.
Dominic stared at her as if he found the entire thing tiring and a bit amusing. Like a big bad wolf teasing a rabbit before closing onto her and taking a bite out of her neck. "You know you can never beat me, Inez. So might as well just get this done with."
After speaking, he pulled her harshly, almost dislocating her shoulder.
"NO! I DON’T WANT THIS."
Inez felt her siren side stir. Her eyes flashed with a hint of golden specks, something neither Inez nor Dominic noticed because of their tussle. However, the command that left her lips made Dominic loosen his grip on her wrist.
Not wanting to waste anymore time, Inez flicked his hand away and rushed past the table. She knew that the chances of her escaping were small but she would rather take them instead of letting herself be tied with the same restraints that she had allowed to bind her foolishly for years.
"Inez Sinclair!"
Dominic didn’t understand how and why he let go of Inez but the second he snapped out of the haze, he turned around and chased after her. He didn’t know why he did it; he just knew that he couldn’t let her leave.
He knew that the reason Inez was acting so rebellious was because she knew what he had done yesterday and as much as Dominic wished to explain the happenings, he didn’t want to. His pride to bring this woman to her knees and break her until she could no longer stay sane anymore was holding him back.
Dominic wished Inez to go through the same pain that he went through when his sister died.
So, he held back, but at the same time, when he heard Inez say that she was resigning, that she was leaving the cage that he had built for her, Dominic couldn’t help but feel a surge of annoyance.
