Inez frowned when she heard his response. She couldn’t understand what the lycan meant by asking such weird questions.
She turned around and was about to leave, but then Inez suddenly paused.
"What is it?" Killian asked as he noticed the actions of the siren. "Is there something that you want to say to me?"
"Um, there is indeed something that I wanted to ask. Of course, if it’s alright," Inez added, her eyes staring into the grey eyes of the lycan. She noted how his eyes were much more lively than his expressions.
"What do you want to ask?" Killian asked, rubbing the back of his knuckles.
"Who is Lyra?" questioned Inez, and she noticed how the man stiffened as soon as she questioned about the woman. "It is not that I want to poke into your business, but is she someone I need to watch out for?"
All of a sudden, the air around them got filled with hostility. A glint of annoyance flashed in Killian’s eyes. He said, "You don’t need to worry about her." The look in his eyes turned cold as he continued, "Because she is dead."
Inez’s eyebrows furrowed as she watched the man leave. For some reason, the look in his eyes unnerved her. However, Inez didn’t get the chance to brood over it, as she was called to Selene’s lodge by Laxus.
"Are you willing to talk now?" Blake looked at Scarlet. It physically hurt him to see her hanging by the chains and starving, but the woman’s will was made of sheer steel. Even after getting tormented to this point, Scarlet didn’t say a word about Inez.
"Fuck you," Scarlet spat at his face and Blake dodged it like every other time.
He sighed and said to her, "This is getting tiresome, Scarlet."
"And yet here we are," Scarlet rolled her eyes. Even though she had been whipped, stabbed and burned by candles and needles, she was still tough as ever, and Blake could respect that.
He said to her, "Inez is not worth your loyalty."
"Hah," Hearing his response, Scarlet scoffed. "If there is someone who is not worthy of her efforts, then it’s you and that arsehole."
"Scarlet," Blake warned her in a cold voice.
In response, Scarlet narrowed her eyes and snapped, "Don’t you ’Scarlet’ me, Blake. You know my sister. She is the one who saved us when we were kids. I don’t care if you have forgotten everything that she has done for you, but I can never forget the things she did for me. She raised me when my own mother left me to my own devices. You can say anything, but I will not listen to you."
"You don’t know what she has done —"
