Selene closed her eyes when she heard her brother speak. She knew that trouble was coming their way now that Killian had spoken up. Her brother was not someone who explained his actions, but if someone questioned him, he would go to such lengths to explain his actions that it was almost —terrifying.
Inez’s face turned red when she heard the man call her by an endearing name but she still raised her head and looked at the lycan with a determined look in her eyes. "Did I say something wrong? You owe an explanation to your pack as well as the one who is innocent among the two. At least they should know what wrong they had committed before they were punished or executed."
"I guess you are right." Killian smiled at her, but there was something unhinged about his smile. But before she could catch what that glint in his eyes could mean, Inez saw the man turn to look at the enforcers who were dragging the tied-up shifters and commanded in a low voice, "Stop. Bring them to me."
Everyone held their breath when they heard his command. They all turned to look at Inez, wondering whether she would be punished along with the omega couple, for she had intervened in their punishment and questioned their alpha.
The enforcers exchanged a look with one another before dragging the two omega mates in front of Killian.
Inez watched the man stand up on his feet with an air of calm around him. She heard him remark, "I was going to give you an easy death, but Bubbles here..." he pointed at Inez, whose face turned cold as ice when she saw the lycan pointing at her. "Wants justice and evidence."
He shrugged casually before saying to the two, "Then I shall give it to her. I am a little weak when it comes to pretty women; don’t mind, kay?" He added with a wink.
Killian then turned to look at her and said, "Now make sure to keep looking, bubbles. If you miss it, I am afraid that we will not be able to do a redo."
He noticed her eyes had hardened, and Killian had to admit that gaze of hers was like a sucker punch to his guts. The shadows in her eyes were filled with soul-deep loneliness, and yet there was iron in them which showed that whatever had made her feel left out was not going to break her.
Something that Killian could relate to.
He took out a flask from his pocket and turned to face his pack. He questioned, "Do you know what this is?"
When the pack members didn’t respond, he smiled and said to them, "This is the latest potion prepared by the council. As the witches have invented a potion that makes them more shifter-like, this potion will wash off the effect of it."
"Ready or not?" he said to the woman who was kneeling on the ground, and before she could say anything, he turned the vial upside down on her head, causing her entire figure to be drenched in the potion that smelled like the sea.
It was only then that Inez realised that this potion contained a siren’s blood. As sirens could lure their victims by creating powerful hallucinations with their power, their blood could also wash clean any kind of mirage.
Inez’s brows furrowed. She watched as the woman buckled under the effect of the potion. A second later, her beautiful face turned wan and sallow. Her complexion turned dark yellowish, and her eyes turned black.
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the females charged at the witch and slashed her claws at her.
