Chapter 67: Wolves In Sheep’ Clothing

Killan stepped close to her. Frustratingly enough, she was conscious of every single fibre of that solid, deliciously masculine body pressing against her.

She should have felt trapped by how close the man was getting. But she didn’t.

Killian, like every other lycan, was pushy and really dominant. And he kept invading her personal space just as he liked. And yet, all she felt was the urge to inhale more of his scent. Just what was happening to her? But if Inez was being honest with herself, she didn’t truly blame herself.

This guy oozed sensual energy, power and danger.

It was like a lethal drug that could make any female go high on it. Even Inez, who often thought that she was used to and immune to the charm of alpha and dominant shifters, couldn’t help but get slightly drunk.

"You misunderstood," he announced just after he had made things really annoying and stimulating with his gorgeous smile. "I never said that I brought you here because I was upset with you questioning me or my actions."

"Then why—"

"You are a brave woman, Inez." Killian handed out the compliment, which left Inez slightly dumbstruck because she knew that lycans. Alphas would never hand out compliments to females. They were broody to begin with, and they only handed out compliments when they felt that the female had done something worth noticing. "I admit that you have the heart and soul of an enforcer. But—"

He paused before continuing, "But I think you need to control that temper of yours just a tad bit unless you don’t want to die a sorry and pitiful death."

And there went all the bubbly feelings that she had in her heart upon hearing him praise her.

She pursed her lips and said to the man, "I just cannot accept anyone getting punished without any sort of evidence. It makes me—"

"Feel sympathetic?" Killian offered with a raise of his brow, and when Inez didn’t say anything, he sighed. "I for one am all about every life matter, but my dear bubbles, the world that we live in is not as simple as you think. It is not just black and white. There is no more evil than you can comprehend. Of course, that only makes you want to protect what is left of the innocents, but you cannot. You are not a hero who can save everyone; you never will be. So, it’s better to watch your back instead of worrying about others."

"You want me to stay quiet when things are going wrong and when innocent people are getting bullied?" Inez questioned, but more to herself, as she couldn’t understand what wrong she had done.

Her eyes met Killian’s, and she said, "I just did it because I know how it feels to be wronged. When I was being dragged and used as the pack’s punching bag, I wished that someone would take a stand for me and stop what was happening to me."
