Chapter 44: Protecting Her Peace

Chapter 44: Protecting Her Peace

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" She asked in a low voice. The two of them were now waiting for Killian’s pack members to come and get them. However, Inez didn’t think that she would be welcomed by them. Not only was she infamous, but her reputation was in shambles, all due to Eve.

Killian raised a brow and stated in a quiet voice, "Well, unless they are idiots. They will know better than to judge a person on baseless rumours."

"You mean to say that you trust that I didn’t cause any trouble for Eve and the pack?" Inez asked. However, Killian noticed that rather than voicing her disappointment, she had blanked her expression, completely shutting him out—which his beast didn’t like in the least— and turned her head away. Her rosy lips pursed in a thin line as she looked away from him.

Killian’s eyes darkened as he too turned his head away from her because at that moment, he sensed that his beast actually wanted to rub his scent on Inez. An act so possessive that it terrified Killian slightly, and he had this urge to step away from the female shifter next to him.

This was going to get annoying really soon. He sighed and changed the topic. "Why didn’t you tell Alpha Cherith that you are a siren? I don’t think that he would have treated you in such a reckless manner."

In response to his question, Inez burst out laughing. She said, "I would rather die than beg someone to love me. I might be a part-shifter, but I have the pride of a siren, and sirens never beg a man or woman to love them." She turned her head and looked at him with those glittering, jewel-like eyes. "Love comes to find us effortlessly as long as we want it to."

Killian swallowed hard when he heard Inez’s confident tone. Though she was a part shifter, her strength was not less than a dominant one. And that tone ... it had his wolf falling head over heels in lust.

Pathetic.

Soon the sound of wheels coming to a halt came from front and Killian raised his head to look at his beta who came to a stop right in front of him.

"Finn," Killian raised his hand to high five the man but Finn simply crossed his arms in front of him. With a raise of his brows he stated, "Please tell me that this is not the woman with whom you have eloped last night, Alpha? The cougars are still out to hunt you down and this is the last thing that I need at the moment."

"No..."

"I will not sleep with him even if I was paid." Before Killian could refute Finn’s claims, Inez rolled her eyes and stated, "I just saved your alpha’s life, so I think I deserve a bit more respect. What do you think?"

After staying in her old pack, she realised that some things needed to be cleared right away. Unless she wanted Killian’s pack to treat her in the same way as Dominic’s, she would never foolishly let them believe that she was actually sleeping with this man.

Inez knew that the quickest way to die was to make claims as stupid as sleeping with the alpha, and that too in a pack where she hadn’t even proven herself.

Finn turned and looked at her. His brows were still raised, but this time around, he was filled with amusement. He turned to look at Killian and remarked, "Well, there is always a first, isn’t there? Never thought that I would see a woman openly showing her disdain for you, Alpha."

Killian only rolled his eyes.

He glanced at Inez, who was filled with wariness and suspicion, before saying to Finn, "Just get our things in the trunk, will you?"

After speaking, he pulled Inez into the SUV parked in front of them. However, as soon as they settled inside, Inez pulled her hand away from the lycan, who looked at her with amusement in his eyes. "Are you so worried that we will be mistaken for something more?"

"I am not, but I would like to keep myself out of trouble." The last thing she wanted was to get involved with one of the glitter goblins, this lycan raised in his pack.

Switching on her phone, she inserted her earbuds. She smiled inwardly when she thought about how Dominic would be looking for her everywhere. Never in his worst nightmare would he imagine that she was right next to him. But more than that, the tension of where to stay and how to survive had left her. She was now away from Dominic, from the wolves who had betrayed her, and from the danger of being repeatedly blamed for something that she didn’t do.

And hopefully, she would never run into them again.

However, more than the amusement that was coursing through her, she was worried about the reactions of Killian’s pack. Though the lycan said that he had everything under control, she didn’t quite trust him. Just as his pack was not going to trust her. Thanks to Eve, her name was quite popular in the shifter community.

Inez would be surprised if she found any warm welcome. If anything, they would be distrustful of her the very second they hear her name.

Yeah, her time with Killian’s pack was not going to be peaceful or easy. Even more so with how much her siren was fascinated by the man next to her. Contrary to the distrust and reluctance that her siren side had shown to Dominic, she was simply enchanted with this guy.

Inez could not understand where the attraction lay, but for some reason, it was there.

The sky slowly started to darken, and when they finally crossed the border of Killian’s pack, Red Blood Hill, Inez smelled the scent of ocean and sea salt. Her siren side stirred. Her night vision allowed her to see the surroundings of the pack and she couldn’t help but suck in a breath the second she did.
