He tilted his head to one side and remarked. "Why are you so pissed off? Let me guess— you are jealous?"
"No. But I am about to get really annoyed by your assumptions?"
Chuckling, he pulled away from her. "What did my dear Nyx tell you about Lyra?"
"That..." Inez paused, not understanding whether she should speak the truth or not. However, when she noticed the knowing look in his eyes, Inez knew that there was no point in hiding the truth. The lycan could easily see through her thoughts; if she lied, then he would not think twice before peeking into her thoughts.
As annoying as it was, Inez knew that there was nothing that she could do about it.
She decided to tell him the truth anyway; it was not she who would lose anything. "She told me that you were used to ... beating your ex-mate," relayed Inez, and Killian, who heard it, laughed as if he had heard some kind of joke.
Seeing him laugh, Inez couldn’t help but frown. She questioned, "Why are you laughing? Is it not the truth?" Her expression was filled with confusion as she looked at the man who was laughing as if he were amused by what she said.
"Oh, no. It is indeed true. It’s as true as it could be." Though he said that, the second his emotions closed off, Inez knew that there was more to the story than he was letting on. He said to her, "You should go on with your work. Selene might not look like it, but she doesn’t like tardiness."
After he finished speaking, he turned to walk out of the lodge.
Inez watched him leave; however, just as Killian was about to walk out of the lodge, she reached out and caught his wrist. The lycan paused and looked down at the small hand that was holding his own. He arched his brow and asked, "And what is the meaning of this, bubbles? No matter how kinky I am... I am not going to go down and dirty in the lodge that belonged to my sister. That will be really weird."
Hearing his words, Inez let go of his hand as if she had been whipped. She looked at the man with wariness in her eyes and said to him, "I didn’t mean anything like that." Taking out the chocolate that she usually carried with her, as Inez liked to eat something sweet whenever she was feeling a bit down, she handed it to Killian and said, "You should eat something sweet when you are upset."
When Killian heard her words, he burst into laughter. This was his first time hearing someone say anything concerning after hearing him confess to hitting his mate. Usually, they looked at him as if he were a monster who had done something despicable without knowing the truth.
