Chapter 70: Pull Of Attraction (2)

"Don’t smile like that," Selene said to him with a frown on her face. "You will scare the living daylights out of some people."

"If they are scared of me, then they are at the wrong place, my sweet, baby sister." Killian smiled at his sister and replied with a calm voice, "Alright, I don’t see the point of continuing with this meeting any further. We will wait for Levi to find the links before continuing to break the firewall. For now, let’s eat."

He turned to look at Inez, who seemed inclined to leave. "You too."

Inez would have loved to leave, but with Killian’s command, she had no choice but to sit down and eat the breakfast that was served on the main table. Of course not a single bite was peaceful, with Edira constantly telling her that her dressing sense was like that of a low-class hooker.

And as someone who couldn’t take anyone’s bullshit, she called Edira an old antique that needed to be in the museum rather than in the dining hall of the pack.

From the frown that Edira passed her as she stood up from her chair, it seemed clear that the woman was not pleased with what she heard. Good. That would put a stop to her comments for a while.

It was then that she noticed that Kilian was following after her, and Edira’s expression turned even more sullen along with Morrineth’s. The two women were staring at her as if she were the one who had asked Killian to come with her. She turned to look at Killian with a frown on her face.

Killian, of course, noticed what was going on, and honestly, he had no idea what to think of the current situation. He had no intention to follow Inez. But the second she walked out of the dining area, it was as if a sudden pull of attraction made him follow. Killian didn’t adore this sudden pull. His beast, however, was full of awe.

As for the glares that his grandmother and Morrineth were passing him, he didn’t blame them. Because they were indeed correct, the kind of X-rated fantasies that were running through his mind involved no one else but Inez. If his grandmother found out about the things that he had in mind when it came to Inez, he wondered if she would cry until she lost her voice.

He heard Inez say, "Can you tell me why you are making the target of your glitter goblins?"

Taken aback by her sudden remark, he turned to look at her. He blinked his eyes and said to her, "I don’t think that my grandmother can be counted as a glitter goblin."

Inez snorted. "Not with that glittery shawl that she wears?"

"Alright, you do make sense." Killian sighed. "But I never intended to make you the target of the pack, sweetheart."

"You don’t have to." Inez rolled her eyes and said to him, "Your grandmother thinks that I am a slut."

"She thinks like this for every woman I get close to. You aren’t special."

"She is going to confront me at this rate and tell me that I need to stay away from you."

"Are you going to listen to her now?"

"I will," Inez promised. She had no desire to get close to Killian, not after the things that she went through at the hands of another alpha who was also her mate. She had long learnt the lesson that no matter what kind of promises a man made to her, he would let her down in the end for the sake of everyone.

"But I won’t."

The two of them paused as she turned to look at Killian. The man was holding her gaze, as if he was determined not to let her miss the determination in his eyes. "Just thought that you should know about it."

He raised his hand and brushed the pad of his finger over her jaw.

It made Inez stiffen as she pulled away from the lycan. She knew that the man was smooth, but she never thought that he was this ... skilled. "I think you need to stop. I am not one you can play your games with, so don’t tease me." She really didn’t know how to play the games that he was playing with her. She could deal with the taunts, but she was not good at flirting. It made her feel really vulnerable, as if she were something that she wasn’t.

Like she was out of the league of many wolves.

Inez knew that with her pale skin and platinum blond hair, she was nothing but a sickly woman in the eyes of many shifters. They like curvaceous and tanned women. She was not tanned. Nor was she beautiful.

She was a tomboy as Dominic and others constantly reminded her. She was not the kind of woman who would be pursued by anyone.

"What made you think that I am playing with you?"

Inez snorted upon hearing his response. "You play with everyone, Alpha Sokolov. I don’t like being played by a man, and you should know that as well."

"Hmmm?" Killian turned his head up slightly. "It seems like Dominic never flirted with you. Goodness, you really sold yourself cheaply, didn’t you? Well, that does happen when you are in love with someone. Anyway, bubbles —flirting is supposed to be playful and fun. Just because I am not handing out a ring to you doesn’t mean that I am not being serious."

He leaned close to her so that she was the only one who could hear his voice.

And Inez had to suck in a breath as she realised how intimate their positions were at that moment. "I want you. It might be a little funny to you, but I wanted you from the very day I saw you. I want you in my bed so desperately that my touch will burn in your skin. That you will never forget the feeling when I am with you."
