"If I tell you, I am sure that you and your pack will kill those witches."
Inez rolled her eyes when she heard Remi’s response. Well, duh. Those witches killed newborn pups of Killian’s pack; what did the man think Killian was going to do? Did he think that Killian was going to worship the ground on which those hideous witches walked?
She turned to look at Killian and just for the sake of it, whispered in a loud voice, "Oh my god, he can read minds. I am really worried now. What should we do? I feel so uncomfortable."
As soon as she finished speaking, Dominic turned to look at her. His eyes flashed with a hint of amusement and a reminiscence as if he was remembering someone close.
Inez noticed the glint in his eyes and stiffened. She silently wondered if the man had noticed something. Turning her face to look at Remi, she heard the man say, "I wish I could tell you the truth, but those witches had put a curse on me. I cannot say a word about their lair to you."
"I call that bullshit," Inez said with a smile on her lips, which made her look like a woman worthy of a ballroom instead of sitting in a cheap living hall and interrogating a man like Remi.
Remi growled at her. He was clearly offended by her remark. He said to her, "You doubt my word?"
"I do," Inez nodded and stated, "You are not a man with a lot of guts, Alpha Remi. And the fact that you have looked for alliances with almost all the pack shows that you are really worried and scared of dying. And you dare to tell me that you agreed to sign a life-and-death bond with the witches?"
She tilted her head to one side and went on, "You are a rather selfish man who would not put his life on the line no matter what. Even if you needed the help of the witches, at most, you have handed them a sacrifice. But putting your life on the line? That’s impossible."
"And that means that you have lied to me twice," Killian remarked with a tilt of his head. "That’s a very bold but also very stupid move."
"I have been loyal to you, Killian. And you are now questioning me because of a woman you only got to know for a few weeks?"
"You are not loyal to me because you respect me, but because you know that if you go against me, your pack members will not find a single piece of bone to bury."
Remi stiffened.
He looked at Killian with a hint of annoyance on his face as he stated in a cold voice, "You are asking me to hand the witches over to you, but they saved the life of my mate, Killian. They have given me a new life. How can I condemn them to death? Believe me, by going against the witches, we are missing something really good. They can help us in more than one way— what are you doing?"
