Chapter 77: Sirens’ Skills
"What for?" Inez asked as she turned on her feet and strode out of the lodge without looking at the man. She had no desire to stay in the room and let everyone ogle at her as if she were some rare breed of animal that needed to be studied. She just stood up for Killian because Edira reminded her of her mother.
Just like her mother, Edira seemed to be too used to coddling her grandson, but in truth, she was only trying to control his life in her own way. And Inez didn’t know if there was something worse than someone trying to control a dominant shifter. Even she, as a half-shifter, felt too stifled under her mother. She wondered how Killian lived his life.
"Hey, wait." She didn’t, but Killian ate up the space between the two of them in less than three strides. He turned to look behind him when he sensed someone glaring at him, and was not amused when he saw Ally staring at Inez with nothing but sheer hatred. However, he didn’t throw back the glare, as he couldn’t be bothered by the woman.
But his beast, on the other hand, was in another mood. He was spitting and snarling while looking at Ally without blinking. He wasn’t a fan of the woman who was trying to scare his object of fascination. Killian, however, just smiled when he caught the woman looking at him.
The two of them walked for a while, and Killian came to a stop in front of her when he saw that Inez was heading down to her lodge. He looked at the woman and said to her, "Alright, where are you heading to? Didn’t I say that we would be heading out?"
Inez gave him a glowering glare. "I think you have lost your mind, Alpha Sokolov—"
"Killian," he corrected her with a stern look, causing Inez to roll her eyes, but when the man continued to press her, she had no other choice but to sigh. She corrected herself and said, "I think you have forgotten something, Killian. I am not your usual pack member. I am someone who ran away from her pack. Do you think that I can just march out of your pack and go to another pack where I can interrogate an alpha?"
"An alpha who is also aligned with Dominic? I don’t think so."
She was content with her current life. There were no sneers and no jeering. This was good enough.
Why would she step out of her comfort zone?
However, just as she turned around on her feet, she heard the man say, "So you are scared?"
Oh, she heard the challenge in his voice. Inez knew that she should ignore the man, but something about that tone struck her as wrong. Her siren side jeered as she slowly turned to look at the man who was looking at her with an eyebrow raised. She asked, "What did you say?"
"I asked if you are scared?" Killian took a step towards her and smiled at her in a mocking manner. "You are a siren, Inez. Don’t tell me; you don’t even learn the basic skills of seducing men and women?"
Inez gritted her teeth. Wow, that was a low blow, and she had to admit that it was working.
"You know that you are an arsehole, do you?" She said with a scowl.
"A really handsome one at that."
Inez rolled her eyes while grinding her teeth. She said to the man, "Fine. Stop winding me up; I will get ready."
As a siren, she learnt how to change her appearance. Of course, she didn’t learn it completely; she had to take the help of a makeover.
And when Inez said a makeover, she didn’t mean to say the kind of make-up that women like Ally and Eve did. No.
Sirens had skills that could help them change their appearance into a completely different person. This was something that young sirens were taught when they were just ten or eleven years old. This was due to the sudden rise of the siren hunting.
Even though the council put a ban on siren hunting, Inez, as a siren, knew that it was still in full swing.
But Inez, who had no one to teach her, could only change her hair colour and scent. Thus, her grandmother taught her the skills of doing makeup.
’You should never let a shifter or witch know that you are a siren,’ her grandma had told a young ten-year-old Inez. ’And if you are caught, then you need to use these skills and hide yourself until they call off the hunt.’
That’s how Inez had learnt these half-baked skills. With her grandmother looking out for her while her mother ignored her very existence, only learning to respect and care for Inez when she befriended Dominic, Inez somehow learnt some half-baked skills that elder sirens taught their young ones.
As she swiped the lipstick on her lips, Inez suddenly felt a little resentful towards her father as well. How could he not show even the slightest bit of sympathy to her? If he had. Just for a while, then Inez was sure that she would have lived a completely different life.
She set down the red lipstick and looked at her reflection. With her abilities, she was able to change the colour of her hair and scent; as for the rest of the things, she just used some makeup to hide her eyes and features.
If she had a grown-up siren teaching her, she would have done it without makeup, but with no one looking out for her, Inez could only make do with what she had.
She took one look at her flaming red locks and green eyes before sighing and getting up from the chair on which she was sitting.
As she stepped out of the room, she found Killian standing right outside her bedroom. He was holding a cup of coffee and spoke in a rough voice, "It seems like you really have no problem trespassing. I thought that it was just a rumour, but lycans really have the skills to become fine robbers."
