Chapter 72: Fraudster (2)

Eve was stunned when she heard Blake say such harsh words. For the boys have never been this harsh on her ever since they started to ostracise Inez.

"Blake, how could you? I was just—" She was still speaking when Blake turned on his feet and strode away without giving her a chance to speak. Eve watched the man leave and kicked a pebble that was lying next to her. She could see that the affection and care that Dominic and the rest had for her were slowly fading.

No, this won’t do. She needed to bring Inez back. Only when she was here would Dominic and the rest pay attention to her.

"Achoo," Inez sneezed as she entered the lodge that belonged to Selene, and because she was not paying attention to where she was going, she ran into Killian. The man looked down at her with mirth dancing in his eyes and questioned, "What’s wrong? Did you realise that my arms are much more comfortable than your bed?"

"Are you always like this, Alpha Sokolov?" Inez asked as she stepped back. She raised her head and looked at the man with a slightly confused expression.

"Like what?" Killian asked as he stepped forward, and Inez had to take a step away from him. Her reaction caused his lips to curl up, and he smiled. It revealed his perfectly aligned teeth along with his sharp canines.

"Like a dog in heat?" Inez glared at the man when he leaned his body slightly towards her.

Killian chuckled when he heard her words. He answered, "I always wake up in that state. What can we say? I am a young man with plenty of energy to spend." He paused and questioned, "I have been noticing that you have been spending quite some time with Nyx. Care to tell me what kind of secrets she is telling you that you cannot stay away from?"

"Nothing in particular. She just spoke of some general things," replied Inez, and she noticed how the man’s eyes narrowed when he heard her response.

"Lying is a bad habit, bubbles," he drawled, waiting for the correct answer. "You should speak the truth; maybe you don’t know that I can always poke my way into your mind. You are forgetting that I am your alpha."

"You are going to trespass inside my head?" Inez squeaked. Her voice turned sharper as she glared at the lycan.

The smile on Killian’s lips remained firm as he stated in a calm voice, "Well, I hate it when people lie to me. If you won’t give me the answer that I want, then I will have no choice but to take it. What can we do?" He added with a sigh. "That’s the alpha way."

Inez didn’t want the man to poke inside her head. The last thing she wanted was for him to find out about the complicated feelings that she held for him, about Dominic and the X-rated dreams that she had. Worse, he had been the main feature of her dream. Inez was yet to find out whether it was a good or bad thing.

Killian stared at her for two seconds before saying, "Now, what will it be? Do you want to tell me the truth, or do you want me to find out the truth myself?"

Inez wondered if the man knew something, which was why he was so intent on finding out what she was talking about with Nyx. She sighed and replied, "It’s nothing; she was apologising and said some things about ..." She dropped her voice and added, "Your ex-mate."

As she finished speaking, she raised her head. Inez thought that the man would be filled with rage or sadness upon hearing her mention his ex-mate, but when she looked at him, she realised that Killian was completely in control. If anything, there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes as if he was frustrated with her for bringing up the matter of his late mate.

Why? How could he hate his mate?

Inez didn’t think that there was anything wrong because she herself had the same feeling when it came to her mate. But it did make her curious. She wondered if there was something that she didn’t know.

"What’s wrong?" she asked. "Did I say something wrong?"

Killian’s lips twisted, and so did the look in his eyes. A soft chuckle left his lips that Inez was sure would taste like sin. However, hearing him laugh left her bemused, and she couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you laughing, Alpha Sokolov?"

ill

"Why, let’s say—Nyx is not the person you would want to trust. She is what you would call a fraudster." He paused and then added, "No, it’s better to say that she is a pitiful child. One that is so pitiful that it would be merciful to let her die."

Inez frowned. She raised her head and looked at the lycan apprehensively. She wondered if this was some kind of test that Killian had put forth in front of her to test her loyalty towards the pack members.

She said to the man, "She is a member of your pack. Shouldn’t you be protecting her?"

"And this is why I am warning you. Do not trust a word that comes out of her mouth, and stay clear of her path. The last thing you need is to believe something that is not the truth. Honestly, I would hate to behead that woman, bubbles. But believe me, sometimes that woman crosses the boundaries."

He raised his hand and poked her on the forehead before saying to Inez, "Anyway, you are quite silly when it comes to trusting people. I saw it happen with Dominic; I don’t want you repeating the same mistake."

The mention of Dominic caused a nerve to pop in Inez’s forehead. His reminder poked her where it hurt the most.

"You don’t have to worry about it, Alpha Sokolov." Inez rolled her eyes as she stated in a dry voice, "I am only going to stay with you and your pack until Miss Selene gets better. Once the poison of ivy in her body is treated... I will be gone—what are you doing?"
