Chapter 52: Teasing Boundaries

"You are losing it." Dominic, considering her as his mate, was simply asking the sun to shower snow. She shook her head and stated, "I am his ex-mate; why would he care about me?"

She didn’t believe that Dominic cared for her; if he did, then he wouldn’t have done such a despicable thing to her. Particularly since he had lapped up all the lies that Eve told him. He even refused to let Inez go when her grandmother asked him to transfer Inez to her pack instead. He had done everything in his power to hurt her in ways that Inez couldn’t even speak of.

"If he cared for me, he wouldn’t have hurt me the way he did."

"Trust me, he hadn’t let go of you yet. Do you even know why he called me just now?" Killian said to her.

"Why?"

"He has passed down the order that no pack is allowed to take you in."

Inez sucked in a breath when she heard his response. She knew that Dominic loathed her, but she never thought that he despised her to this degree. He knew that if a wolf went rogue, the chances of their survival became almost negligible. Their only chance at survival was to join another pack.

And what Dominic had done was nothing less than cutting off her only chance at survival! Would he only stop tormenting her when she stopped breathing and her body turned cold, with no breath left in her?

"Do you know why he did that?" Killian’s voice brought her back, and Inez nodded. "I know. He wants to watch me die." Other than that, Inez couldn’t think of anything else.

However, to her surprise, Killian shook his head. He opened his eyes and pointed out, "You are wrong. He doesn’t want you to die; what he wants is your defeated return to his pack. He believes that as long as he stops other packs from letting you join them, he will be able to push you right where he wants."

"That’s stupid." Inez’s brows furrowed as she commented, "He knows me. I would rather die than go back."

Killian smiled at her as if he found her as amusing as a little girl. "That’s where you are wrong. Alpha Cherith only knows what he believes. If he truly knew about you, then would he have treated you in such a way?"

He took a step toward her, compelled by the wicked urge to touch her, but Killian suppressed his beast and resisted. Of course, it was nearly impossible, as her scent was driving him crazy. If he hadn’t lost Lyra, he would have thought that Inez was his destined mate.

But having already lost his mate, Killian knew that it was just the chemicals in his body messing with his head.

"Tell me."

Caught in that powerful gaze of his, Inez had no other choice. She gave him the truth, at least a fraction of it. She told her how Dominic brought Eve to his side and how that woman made things difficult for her. "Believe it or not, those designs that she had presented were mine to begin with. As for how she got her hands on them, you don’t need to know."
