Chapter 61: Spies (2)

A nerve twitched in Fenric’s jaw the second he heard the taunt that his sister had passed at him. He remarked, "It’s all because Killian wants to suppress me. He is worried that I will take control of the enforcers if I pass the exams; that’s why he refuses to let me become an enforcer." Once he finished speaking, he didn’t forget to snort heavily, as he really believed that Killian was only trying to make things difficult for him.

Nyx rolled her eyes upon hearing his response. It was because she knew that her brother was only looking for excuses. Killian was not the kind of person who would deliberately cause trouble for anyone.

She got up from the chair on which she was sitting and said to her mother, "I am going on a run, Mom." She waited for her mother to turn and look at her, but Morrineth never even spared a single glance at her. Seeing this, Nyx’s smile turned even more rueful.

She stepped out of the lodge.

Her head was held high even though her world was crumbling behind her. When she walked down the cobblestone path, her eyes fell on Killian, who was heading to the dungeon.

When she saw him, her eyes lit up, and she immediately walked over to where Killian was standing, but at the same time, she made sure that her expression was not too excited. She came to a stop in front of Killian.

"Kill, are you going on a run?" Nyx greeted Killian with a smile on her face, which was both fearful and polite.

Killian arched his brow. He paused and turned to look at the curvaceous woman in front of him. He offered her a smile of his own and remarked, "You shouldn’t act kind when you cannot, Nyx. We all know that you are a little spiteful child who sees the world with nothing but her black tinted glasses."

"Kindness doesn’t suit you. Don’t try to fake it—like how you try to fake your confidence."

The deceitful smile on Nyx’s face faded. She blinked her eyes as her face turned completely blank. She said to Killian, "I am still better than the pitiful child that you brought with you to the pack." She glanced at the far distance and stated in a cold voice, "How pitiful; she doesn’t have even a single person to love her."

"Mhmm. Does that make you feel better?" hummed Killian. He raised his hand and tucked away the lock of hair that was fluttering in the air behind her ear and said to her, "But no matter how pitiful she is, she will never be as pitiful as you, Nyx. You know why?"

He paused and gave her a brilliant smile. "Because she never pities herself."

Then, before she could say anything, Killian turned away on his heel and walked away from there without letting Nyx respond.

Inez busied herself in the kitchen as she prepared herself a small meal. Even though Killian allowed her to go everywhere in the pack, Inez didn’t wish to make things troublesome for herself and the rest by gracing them with her presence.

It was a good thing that her grandmother insisted on teaching her how to cook.

According to her grandmother, learning these important life skills would come in handy. Thus, her grandmother had taught her almost everything, from riding in a car to picking a lock, as well as how to knock a man unconscious.

Not to mention the many languages that her grandmother taught her.

She finished frying the chicken and placed it in the dish before scooping it up from the kitchen counter and then heading out of the lodge. She sat down on the porch at the back of the lodge and stared at the seemingly calm ocean.

However, a few minutes later, she heard the sound of rustling and her entire spine stiffened. It was because she could feel the presence of a lycan near her and without her wolf to hold the fort, Inez knew that she would be like a fish on the chopping board.

She turned and looked at the lycan who was eyeing her curiously—no, it was better to say that he was eyeing the chicken wings on her plate. Taking in his scent, Inez realised that it was Ajax. Stopping a few feet away from her, his eyes were glued to her plate. His tongue flicked out, and he growled.

Inez didn’t speak Lycan, but she knew that this beast wanted nothing more than snatching the wings from her plate.

She rolled her eyes.

"Really? Right in front of my wings," she remarked, but when the lycan didn’t move, she flung him a few chicken wings, including a chicken leg.

"Now go; I haven’t eaten yet."

The beast understood her words and left, but a second later, another lycan appeared; this one was dark grey. He was broader than the last one, and her eyes widened when she realised that it was Laxus. "You too?"

She couldn’t believe that the stoic-looking Laxus would follow the lead of others as well. She rolled her eyes and flung another chicken leg to him.

The lycan took a big bite of the chicken leg and waited for her to throw more.

Inez had no other choice but to throw a few more chunks of the chicken wings. Once he was done, Laxus turned around and walked away, only for another lycan to walk over. This one was a mix of black and red. Finn.

"Do you guys have any shame?" Inez was speechless. She threw him a few of her wings and said, "Now I have nothing more."

After she finished speaking, she started eating her lunch. Just in time, as her chocolate cake was done baking. However, just as she finished covering it with whipping cream and stepped out, she saw the three lycans standing at the back of her lodge once again.

"Oh, for goodness’ sake, please tell me you are joking."
