When Inez was done with the meeting, she packed her things and walked out of the empty corridors of the main lodge. She came across a few omegas who continued their jobs without saying a word of greeting to her.
On her way, she ran into Morrineth, who was supposed to be sick and staying in the lodge, talking with the man whom Inez had seen before. The two of them shook their hands, and with a nod, Morrineth said to the man, "I will arrange for everything as you have told me."
After speaking, she paused and turned to look at Inez upon hearing the sound of footsteps. When she saw that it was none other than Inez, her eyes flashed with a hint of annoyance. She said to Inez, "What are you doing here?"
"Walking. Is that not allowed?" Inez asked with a tilt of her head.
"Then continue walking," Morrineth sneered. "Why are you stopping here?" She seemed to be distressed and disgusted just at the very sight of Inez, as if just looking at her made Morrineth lose several breaths.
Inez arched a brow. She looked at the man who stood next to Morrineth and then walked away. However, she slowed her pace down as much as possible, for she wanted to eavesdrop on the conversation of the two people behind her.
"Jared, I will be leaving this task in your hands. Make sure that you find a way to get what I want. I promise that I will pay you back just in time," said Morrineth with a smile on her face.
"There is no need to worry about it," said Jared in a polite voice. "We will talk about it later on."
After speaking, he turned on his feet and walked away.
Inez watched the man leave and turned to chase after him. However, as she was chasing the man, she crossed paths with Ally, who was with another shifter who looked at Inez with a smile but was quick to drop it when Ally glared at her.
Ally questioned Inez with her eyes narrowed, "What are you doing here? Don’t tell me that you are still trying to snoop around the pack for more information. If you are, then I am telling you to stop when you have the time, or else I won’t bite, taking a chunk out of your throat. Not that I don’t want to, but I am holding back because killing you would be like killing an ant. I don’t want to do such a thing."
The words of the woman stopped Inez from walking away. She paused and turned to look at Ally, who was speaking to her. "Are you saying these words because you felt that what happened earlier in the morning was a bit embarrassing? It must have been quite embarrassing, as I don’t think being choked by a latent is something that you might have liked."
