Chapter 120: Familiar scent

Killian stepped into the office. His gaze swept towards Dominic, who raised his head just in time for their gazes to clash. Killian hooked up his lips in a soft smile as he said to him, "So what did I do to owe this pleasure, Alpha Cherith?"

Dominic stood up from the couch and walked over to the table, where he sat in the chair opposite Killian. He adjusted his jacket and, with his eyes on Killian, he asked, "I believe that you have heard about the shifters’ disappearances?"

"I have," Killian allowed.

"You have," Dominic echoed, his lips thinning. "Then you should have also known that this matter should have been taken to the council for the other shifter’ packs to know about it as well. Don’t you think that you were a tad bit careless regarding the safety of the other packs and shifters?"

Killian tapped his fingers on the table. With a disapproving expression on his face, he stated, "I think you are the one who is in the wrong, Alpha Cherith. First of all, these disappearances are nothing new. As long as you have your wits intact, you will notice things are not as simple as you think they are."

"And just because I didn’t think of telling the council, do you think no one else did?" Killian asked softly as he leaned back on his chair. "The council have not intervened, which means they do not wish to accept these disappearances."

Dominic’s jaw hardened. He questioned, "And you have no intention of letting the council know about N.M.H.?"

Hearing his response, Killian beamed. "Oh, so you paid attention to what I was telling you? It’s a good thing that you were paying attention to the interrogation. That solves a hell of a lot of things."

Impatience flitted across Dominic’s expression as he looked at the alpha lycan. "Can you stop talking in circles? I am here because I want to ask you about this site and whether you were able to break through it or not."

"Does it mean that you were not able to?" Killian questioned with a hint of amusement, and in response, he only received a growl, which made the lycan chuckle. "There is no need for you to be upset. After all, everyone has their own weaknesses and strengths. It’s not a big issue if your pack hackers couldn’t break through the site. I will let Matt help them out. If that’s all, then I believe that we need to go back to our daily routine."

The way he spoke was infuriating enough, but Dominic was not foolish enough to refuse his help; as much as he despised Killian’s arrogance, he had to admit that the man had his own strength. He got to his feet before pausing and taking a look at Killian. "Where is that woman? You bored with her yet?"

Killian did a slow blink. "What woman?" he had to have misheard this guy. There was no way Dominic was still hung up on Inez.

He, however, had underestimated the effect of the mating pull.

Dominic was still under the effect of the mating bond, even though he hadn’t worked on his issues with Inez, which was downright pathetic in Killian’s eyes. His world had been filled with black and white; there was no such thing as grey. Either he wanted one thing or he didn’t.

There was no such thing as push and pull.

Nothing was worth enough to cause him mental torment.

"That redhead, the one at Esper whom you took away," reminded Dominic, and suddenly Killian found his beast pressed right against his skin. Even though Dominic had only casually mentioned it, something about this entire conversation made his beast agitated.

"I believe that is not your concern, Dommy," Killian calmly stated. His eyes flickered to Dominic’s heavy eye bags. "You should first deal with your issues; there is no point in drowning in sorrows when you know that they will rebound. You either face them head-on or you let go."

Dominic gave him a brittle smile. "Thanks for your advice. But I don’t need to take —"

He stiffened as he turned to look behind him.

"What’s the matter?" Selene, who had arrived at the office to discuss something with Killian, stiffened when she saw Dominic looking at her with a gaze that was so intense that it sort of froze her insides.

However, Dominic didn’t answer. Instead, he strode towards the woman, only to be stopped when a wall of muscles stepped in between the two of them.

Tension started to rise in the room as Dominic flared his nostrils and took in the scent that he knew all too well.

"Where is she?" he rumbled while looking down at Selene, who was frowning hard.

"Back off!" Laxus spoke coldly while looking at the man who was standing in front of him.

Of course, his words fell on deaf ears as Dominic continued to stare at Selene. He once again questioned, "Where the fuck is she?" There was no way he would mistake this scent, a scent that he knew all too well.

"Where is who?" Killian asked calmly as he too got to his feet and stepped in between the situation that was slowly getting out of hand. He looked at Dominic, whose wolf was pressing against his surface and stated, "You need to calm down, Alpha Cherith."

"You hid her, didn’t you?" Dominic narrowed his eyes and questioned. "If not, why would your sister smell like my mate?"

Selene felt her breath hitch, but Laxus glanced at her with a stern look. She immediately calmed her heartbeat down and morphed her expression into that of a confused one.

Killian’s expression stayed blank. He raised his hand and flicked his finger on Dominic’s forehead. And the impact of the flick was enough to send a man flying, but Dominic stayed put. He then heard Killian say, "It seems like you are dreaming even in the day. Why would I hide your mate in my pack?"
