Chapter 76: Not Worthy or Worthy

As soon as he finished speaking, the two women turned to look at her. While Nyx was simply bemused, as if she was wondering how it was possible for someone like Inez to protect Killian if things turned out of control, Ally looked beside herself.

She slammed her hands on the table and shouted hysterically, "You have lost your mind, Kill. That woman is a latent! You want to say that you are going to take a latent with you under the expectation that she would protect you in case things went south?"

Inez scowled when the woman kept calling her a latent; she sounded so much like a parrot that Inez wanted to slam her head on the counter that she was banging so hard. Maybe that would stop her nagging about Inez’s latency.

However, before she could make a move, Killian slammed his fist on the table.

The dining area turned completely silent as everyone turned to look at Killian, who was still smiling, but no one was foolish enough to think that the lycan was truly smiling. "I would like to know who here is the alpha of the pack?" He asked with an even voice. "Just because I let you all get away with a lot of shit doesn’t mean that I am willing to let every kind of disrespect aimed at my position slide as well."

"I am the alpha of the pack. I make the decisions, unless it’s absolutely necessary; don’t contradict me," he pointedly stated while looking at Ally, who was no longer yelling anymore. "Am I clear?"

Ally didn’t utter a peep, which made Killian raise his voice at her, "Am I clear?"

"Yes, Alpha."

Only then did Killian let her off. He then turned to look at Inez, who seemed completely bewildered by the entire thing.

Edira, on the other hand, turned to look at Inez and stated in a cold voice, "You can do much better, Kill. Don’t let her beautiful face fool you. She is not worth the trouble, I am telling you."

"And you can do much better than staying alive," Inez snapped at the older lycan woman. "Would you like to change the status, or would you like to keep the status quo?"

Edira didn’t seem to be surprised or affronted by what Inez said. If anything, there was a hint of appreciation in her eyes as she shuffled, "You are not good enough for my Kill. You might deny it all you want, but this is the truth."

Inez gasped as she said, "Oh, whatever will I do after being deemed unworthy of your grandson? Don’t tell me I will die this very second because of the shock?" After faking her surprise, she added while looking around, "I think I will live. Since I didn’t die of spontaneous combustion. I think it is not too big of a crime for me to feel sorry about?"

"How about we discuss this matter later on?" Killian stood up from the chair and looked at his grandmother. "I will listen to all about your worthy and unworthy list once I return, but till then, keep holding onto it, grandma."

He then walked past Edira, who said to him, "Take care of yourself."

"He is not a child." Inez rolled her eyes as she added, "He can look after himself, I am pretty sure."

Her words were confident, supportive and a tad bit defensive. Killian was sure that the woman herself didn’t know what she had done while relying on her instincts. She didn’t appear any happier about the fact that his grandma was coddling him. In fact, she seemed a bit offended on his behalf, and Killian didn’t know how to feel about it.

Grandma Edira turned to look at Inez and stated in a quiet voice, "You better not think that your buttering will work, hussy. I am into your games and I know that you want to seduce my Kill and worm your way into this pack, but I am not letting you do it."

"Grandma." Realising that the woman was getting a tad bit too defensive because someone had stopped her from coddling him, Killian turned to look at the elderly woman. He gazed at her warningly, but the woman ignored him.

"I have seen the way you look at my Kill, and I don’t like it. Keep this strictly professional; do you understand?"

"And I can offer the same advice to you," Inez smiled at the woman. Even though Grandma Edira was a lycan and a full-blooded one at that, Inez was fine holding her ground. Seeing this, Killian couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. It seemed like Inez’s father was not simply a siren.

For a half-blood to stand against a true lycan, it was no small feat, and this was something his grandma realised as well because she looked just as surprised as him.

"You can say whatever you want, but I won’t let you near my Kill with a ten-foot broom. You are not worthy of him."

Inez smiled at the woman with pure taunt. "Firstly, your grandson doesn’t need you to tell others what he wants. Secondly, he is not a baby who needs to be babied. If you want to do this to a full-grown lycan, I sure as hell can tell you that he will not appreciate it."

After a short, tense moment, Finn stepped in and pulled Edira behind. He said, "She is right."

The woman turned to look at him with sheer rage; however, when she turned to look at Inez, her eyes were filled with confusion and slight annoyance. "You don’t know him like I do."

"And what a relief it is," Inez rolled her eyes and stated. "I can’t even imagine coddling a man as big as him."

Edira shot her a menacing glare before spinning on her heel and heading inside the lodge.

Only then did she turn to look at Killian, who was smiling at her.

"What?"

"Thank you."
