Chapter 62: Spies (3)
"What do you think?"
Eve smiled at Dominic and the rest as she looked at them eagerly. She had been trying to gain the attention of the boys after Inez’s departure, but no matter how hard she tried, she realised that neither of them was even willing to take a look at her.
In the past, she could use Inez to attract the attention of Dominic and the rest, but now that the woman was gone, no one seemed to care about her. She had more or less faded into the background, something that she could not stomach.
Dominic looked at the chocolate cake that Eve had baked and frowned. He asked, "What is this?"
"It is a chocolate cake," Eve replied. She turned to look at Tao, who turned to look away before saying, "I heard that you like eating it. So I baked one for you —what’s wrong, is something wrong?"
Wrong? Everything about this cake was wrong. He didn’t know what made Eve bake this cake, and this particular one at that. But he couldn’t help but remember the chocolate cakes that Inez used to make for him.
He eyed the extra-sweet cake and recalled the taste of the chocolate cakes that Inez used to bring him every now and then. It was neither too sweet nor too bitter; it was the perfect combination of both, and he loved every bite of it.
Because of this, many of the pack members thought that he liked eating chocolate cakes. The truth was that he didn’t like eating them; he only liked eating the ones that Inez made for him.
"Don’t bake them from now on," Dominic told Eve, who was waiting for him to praise her efforts. Hearing him say such harsh words made Eve’s smile fall.
"Oh, I thought—"
"I don’t like to eat it." Dominic interrupted her. He raised his head and looked at Eve and stated, "And even if I did. What makes you think that I will eat what you gave me?" He hadn’t forgotten the drugged drink that she had given to him the last time the two of them met.
Eve’s face turned red. She parted her lips to make an excuse, but Dominic had no patience to hear her excuses. He raised his hand and said to Eve, "Go back, Eve. We will talk later."
As for when this later would come, Dominic wasn’t sure.
"I understand," Eve choked as she turned on her feet and ran out of the office.
Once she was gone, Luca let out a whistle. He turned to look at his alpha and commented, "That was brutal."
Dominic simply glanced at him without saying anything.
"Dear old Hudson will not like it," remarked Blake worriedly. He glanced at Dominic and said to him, "He has been hoping for his daughter to become the Luna of the pack. I wonder what he will do and how he will react once he finds out that you have lost your patience with her."
"I never made any promises," Dominic stated in a cold voice. "Nor did I say that she was going to become the Luna of the pack. If he believes otherwise, then he needs to come and talk with me."
Of course, Dominic knew that the ex-beta would have something to say about his treatment towards his daughter, but honestly, Dominic didn’t care about that. The one thing that he cared about at the moment was Inez’s disappearance and the lack of response from everywhere.
Where did the woman go? How come no one saw her? It was as if she never existed.
"Did you arrange for the meeting with her grandmother’s pack?" Dominic asked. As alphas couldn’t just visit the territory of other packs because they wanted to, Dominic had to arrange for an appointment with the alpha of Inez’s grandmother.
"He agreed." Tao sighed before saying, "But he also said that there is no point in talking with her, Dom. That old woman doesn’t know anything about Inez."
Of course, Dominic knew that, but how was he going to make his heart and wolf understand this?
"Just arrange the meeting," he told the three wolves. "I will take care of the rest."
Once he finished speaking, he turned to look out of the window and wondered if Inez always had someone as her backup. Was that why she ran away without looking back?
"I said, let go of me!"
Inez was sleeping in her hammock when she heard someone scream in the distance. Startled, she got up and turned to look behind her.
At first, she thought that she was dreaming, but then she heard the scream getting louder and louder. She stepped down from the hammock and headed in the direction of the screams.
"Let go of my arm. I told you that I am not the spy," shouted a woman as she was dragged out by the enforcers under Ajax’s command. When Inez saw the changes in the air of the pack, she couldn’t understand what was going on. She turned to look at the woman and then the man who was being dragged along with her.
"I really hate when people get mouthy, honey," said Ajax with a hint of warning in his tone. He looked at the woman who was struggling with all her might and stated, "We have collected enough evidence to prove that it was you who has been acting as a traitor in the past few months."
But the woman was not willing to stop her struggles. Not only did she continue to scream, but she also started to flail and kick. There were many times that she almost broke free from the enforcers.
"We didn’t do anything!" her mate screamed along with her. "I am just an omega, and my wife is the same. How can we do something so dangerous as kidnapping shifter kids and selling them? There must be some kind of misunderstanding!"
But before he could say anything else, one of the enforcers kicked him on the back of the knees and made him kneel in front of Killian, who was sitting on a small boulder looking bored by the entire mess.
