Chapter 115: A proposal (2)

Chapter 115: A proposal (2)

"I told you I am good when it comes to catching lies, didn’t I?" Killian tilted his head to one side and stated in a quiet voice, "It is such a surprise that a woman as wise as you keeps forgetting something so simple again and again."

Inez sucked in a breath. She was about to speak when Killian raised his hand in the air. Seeing this, her instincts reacted before she could, and Inez flinched. Fear surged in her eyes as she froze on the spot like a deer caught in headlights.

"A Cold towel." Before Inez could understand what the man was trying to do, she saw him trace the finger marks on her throat with the pad of his fingers. "These marks will fade soon, as if you are a shifter, even if you are a latent, but the healing will be slow. Really slow. So as to avoid feeling the burn, use a cold towel to soothe it."

Inez heaved a sigh of relief when she heard his words. So, he was just checking her injury. She thought that the man was about to hit her for causing him embarrassment by ruining a good alliance.

"I understand, Alpha Sokolov," Inez replied.

"Good, then you can go back and deal with your injuries first. There is no need for you to come to the pack hall today," Killian told her, as he believed that something about the incident with Jared had shaken Inez. Even though the woman wasn’t showing it on her face.

Inez acknowledged his command and turned to walk away.

Killian watched the siren walk up the path hurriedly. Once she disappeared around the corner, he turned on his feet and walked in the opposite direction. He met with Finn, who was heading towards him.

"What is it?" Killian asked when he saw his beta hurrying over.

"Your mother is here," Finn replied in a terse voice. He carefully eyed Killian, whose eyes remained blank while his lips remained curled up in a smile.

"I see, and what is this about?" Killian asked as he continued to walk to the lodge where Grandma Edira lived. "Did she run out of money, or did she end up killing someone she should not have?" Killian was used to his mother’s abrupt visits to his pack, even though she refused to follow him to his new pack and stayed where the memories of his elder brother were securely guarded.

"She didn’t say anything," replied Finn. "She only demanded that we bring you to see her."

Killan didn’t say anything. He knew that his mother would do something like this; she was a woman with a pride so broken that it could never be pieced together, and yet her arrogance knew no bounds. If she were someone else, Killian would have killed her for demanding the presence of an alpha without a prior appointment.

When the two of them reached the office building where his mother was waiting for them, Killian noticed that Grandma Edira was rubbing her forehead with a hint of annoyance on her face. She looked as if she had had enough of whatever Molly was telling her.

On hearing the sound of footsteps, the two women raised their heads and turned to look at Killian.

"Killian."

Killian turned to look at his mother, who was more like a stranger than the one woman who should have been closest to him. He didn’t greet her, nor did he acknowledge her. Instead, he turned to look at his grandmother, who was sitting in the centre of the couch.

"Finn said that you wanted to see me?" Killian asked his grandmother, who had a stern and serious expression on her face.

"Sit down, Kill," Grandma Edira spoke to him. Her voice was soft, and there was a hint of tiredness in it. It seemed like whatever his mother told Grandma Edira was nothing good.

"It seems like something grave happened," Killian remarked as he entered the building. He glanced at his mother, who was sitting calmly while sipping on her tea. She didn’t seem the least bit fazed, and it made something snap within him. "Did she kill someone?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his mother choked on the sip of the tea that she had taken. Good. Now, at least both of them were uncomfortable.

Killian sat down on the couch with his hands on the armrests of the armchair. He turned to look at Grandma Edira, who brought her hand down from her forehead and sighed heavily. She then said to him, "Your mother had brought an alliance... a marriage alliance. The girl is from a dragon shifter family. From what your mother told me, the girl is a good girl with refined education and would be a perfect Luna for the pack."

"She even brought a folder filled with pictures of the girl. If you want, then you can take a look at the folders." Grandma Edira pointed at the folder with her chin, but Killian never reached out to take it. He simply stared at the folder for two seconds before turning to look at Molly.

He said to her in a calm voice, "But my father is dead. Even if you want to send someone to accompany him, don’t you think it’s a bit too harsh to do such a thing to a young girl?" He paused and added, "And the parents of this girl agreed to arrange this ceremony?"

Molly’s face turned red in anger. She looked as if she were going to have an aneurysm at any second now. She gritted her teeth and snapped, "How can you say such a thing?"

The smile on Killian’s lips turned even wider as he looked at his mother, who seemed to be losing control. He asked, "My apologies, but did I make a mistake?"

"The proposal is arranged for you, Killian! Why would I arrange a marriage for your late father? The council would have my head if I killed the daughter of a dragon shifter couple. Especially when they are already on the verge of extinction."
