Blake stared at her without showing any signs of anger or frustration; it made her feel shitty. Because here he was, standing in front of her like nothing bothered him while Inez was losing her fucking mind. She wanted out of this place, this territory and away from these people.
Such a little thing and yet she was not allowed to do it either. She said to him, "You cannot do this to me."
"This is the alpha’s orders," he repeated as if she hadn’t heard him the first time. Defiance flared in her eyes as she stated, "I don’t want to accept these orders. If you want to ground me like a child, then you might as well go and look for a real child, because I don’t need the permission of the alpha to leave or enter the pack."
"This is the alpha’s orders," Blake repeated and this time much more sternly. "You are not allowed to leave the pack; the guards have been alerted about this and you will not be allowed to leave, so I will suggest that you don’t bother."
He then spun on his heel and walked away without letting Inez refuse any further.
"Blake!" Inez shouted after the man. She was furious. It was one thing that they had humiliated her in every possible way and now they wanted to trap her; more likely, Dominic was coming up with a sinister plan to have her cornered so that he could make her sign that damned contract, which would make her putty in his hands.
Inez didn’t want it. She knew that if she stayed, that man would do anything. Literally anything, including using her own family to get what he wanted; maybe he might have already started making plans. She couldn’t stay in this pack; if she stayed, Inez knew that she would be trapped in a much worse whirlpool.
She chased after Blake. But the man was faster and more agile. He swiftly dodged Scarlet, went past the couch in the middle of the room and left the porch. By the time Inez caught him, the man had already gotten in his car and was driving away.
"Blake!!!" Inez shrieked in anger when she saw Blake’s car turn around the corner and disappear in the darkness of the evening.
"Why are you yelling?" Her mother came rushing. She took one look at Inez and said to her, "You need to be a bit more polite to men, Inez. They like females who submit to them without questioning them, instead of someone who would fight them."
"Then they need to go and find tramps who would let them fuck for money, Mom," Scarlet commented from behind. "Any woman who has a little more substance would fight back. And Inez is not someone who would lose her temper for no reason. You should at least ask her what made her furious."
Her mother waved her hand and scoffed, "You don’t know her like I do, Scar. She has always been like this. Spoiled and a bit arrogant in the face of those four, however, Inez, sweetie. I think that you need to take that arrogance down a notch. They are no longer your friends, and they are finally willing to talk to you, so try to be a bit more pleasing. Like Eve, what do you say—"
"They grounded me!" Inez snapped as she turned to look at her mother and interrupted her. "They fucking grounded me and you are telling me that I need to please them for what!" She demanded angrily.
"You want me to please these men who don’t even treat me as a living person."
