Chapter 119: Dominic’s visit

The woman had not even moved once. If not for the fact that he could see the rise and fall of her chest, he would have been worried that she was dead.

Another knock echoed, followed by an even harsher and impatient knock. "Kill, open the damn door," Selene shouted as she knocked on the door. The intensity of her knocks continued to rise, and so did her voice.

Although he loved his sister, at that very moment, he didn’t want to let her come close to Inez when the woman was in such a vulnerable condition. Having her lying there, while half of the pack who didn’t have the slightest consideration or care toward her... it nettled both Killian and his beast. The animal was on the edge. He was pacing inside Killian anxiously while waiting for Inez to wake up.

"Kill, I am telling you to open the door! She is my friend! I want to see her! I am worried about her."

If Killian had a conscience, he would have felt bad for his sister. He understood that Selene felt guilty over what happened and wanted to make sure that Inez was alright, but he had no plans of letting anyone come inside the room.

He couldn’t trust his packmates, not after the stunt that Ally pulled. That woman released a mamba inside Inez’s lodge. Who was to guarantee him that she would not do something similar when Inez was in this condition?

A feminine huff echoed through the door. He then heard Selene speak in a quiet voice, "You better open the door, Killian. She is a latent; unless you give her proper medicine, Inez will not be able to heal properly. Do you want her skin to be scarred...even more?" She added.

Killian let out a string of curses and then crossed the room, where he opened the door and yanked it open. When he saw that almost the entire pack was standing outside, he knew that Selene had played him. But he also knew that she was right. Inez couldn’t heal herself without external help.

He moved to one side and pointed at Selene and Laxus before saying, "Just you two."

And when the rest of the pack started to complain, he simply ignored them and closed the door on their faces.

The second Selene stepped inside the room, her expression crumpled into one of concern, and she looked at Inez. As the two of them approached the bed, Selene questioned, "Did she wake up? Flitted in and out of consciousness?"

"No, she didn’t even move, much less open her eyes," Killian replied. Though he had dealt with the superficial wounds and the burns on her back, they were healing rather slowly. Maybe it was one of the many cons of losing one’s wolf?

Selene frowned. She reached out and took Inez’s hand in hers and carefully examined her condition. She said, "Her pulse is strong. Maybe her system has shut down because she used her new powers for the first time."

As soon as she finished speaking, Laxus turned around and looked at Killian. He parted his lips and softly asked, "So she is a half-siren."

Since Selene had finally stepped on the topic around which they were dancing, Laxus braced himself and asked the one question that had been pressing against his mind.

"She is," Killian answered as he turned to look at the two of them. "Which brings us back to the topic, what happened in the mall?"

Selene pursed her lips before replying, "She sang a prophecy. Told about the blast before it happened."

"How did you know that the prophecy was about the explosion?" Killian asked.

"Well, we didn’t," explained Laxus quietly. "We only guessed because her prophecy told something about a building being razed and something of the sort. We just made the connection and took the risk of running out in the nick of time or else..."

"We would be dead."

And that spoke volumes about just what would have happened if Inez’s siren side had not stirred and sung the prophecy when they needed it the most.

"I have always heard about sirens singing and luring the sailors with prophecies of their future, dreams and fatal flaws, but this was my first time seeing it." Laxus rubbed his arms and shuddered. "I would rather not see it again. It was terrifying; for a second, it was as if I could feel the explosion happening around me even if it hadn’t."

Killian glanced at the man and stated, "It must be due to your closeness to her."

Laxus nodded. He had read a little about the sirens, as they had always been shrouded in mysterious air. Hidden from the shifters and the witches, they had never stepped out of their territories, which were surrounded by a magical force which neither a shifter nor a witch could trespass. It made him wonder what made a siren have a child with a shifter.

Because never before this had they ever seen or heard of something like this before.

"Don’t let others know," Killian pointed out as he reminded the two of them. No matter how powerful Inez was, she was still prey in the eyes of shifters. If the truth about her being a half-siren was known to others, Killian was afraid that her life would fall into danger. "You are free to praise her to the moon and back, but don’t tell anyone the truth about how she saved your life."

Laxus nodded while Selene rolled her eyes. She said to Killian, "Why would I do something so silly?" She turned to look at Inez and sighed, "I hope she will get better soon." Her eyes turned fierce as she stated coldly, "I really hope Alpha Cherith will suffer a fate worse than hers. How could he make her lose her wolf? If he ever came in front of me, I will—"

"Killian," called Matt. "Alpha Cherith is here to meet you."

Killian paused and then turned to look at his sister. "Well, it looks like your wish is about to come true, sister."
