Chapter 4: I accept your rejection

Inez sucked in a breath; the scent of bonbons was overwhelming and her wolf was frantic. Of course, these two things had no connection whatsoever but both of them were driving her crazy.

She could practically feel her wolf thrashing against her surface, pleading, whining and crying to get out and rub against her mate.

But the restraints held her back.

Inez had always felt sorry for herself as she could not shift but this time around, she was glad. Because if she was able to shift, she would have torn Eve’s head for leaving marks on their mate.

However, somewhere beneath the worry, fear and confusion, she felt thrilled. Maybe he did care? Maybe he still had some feelings for her? Thoughts like these swirled in her mind, causing her to feel giddy.

"Ah yes." Mrs Fawectt frowned as she turned to look at Dominic. "I don’t want to come out as rude, Alpha Cherith. As your company had done such a fine job in preparing for my Mother-in-law’s ninety-ninth birthday, but this nanny—that you have prepared—my son is not satisfied with her."

Inez threw the bones in the trash can as she turned to look at Dominic, who was studying her. His gaze was appraising rather than lusting as hers; a heartbeat later he smiled and turned to look at Mrs. Fawcett before saying, "I see. Has she upset you?"

"Very much."

"I understand," Dominic nodded, his voice still as frustratingly calm as usual and it irked Inez. Why? Why was he reacting as if he couldn’t sense that they were mates?

No, he did sense they were mates—but he simply did not care enough to show it, and it made Inez angry. Soon she could feel her anger much more clearly than the heat that was coursing in her veins.

The way he was reacting —it was as if he didn’t even deem her important enough to react. But the second he glanced at her, Inez wished he hadn’t even acknowledged her at all.

Dominic turned and glanced at Inez lightly before saying, "Please don’t worry, she will be punished thoroughly." There was a sadistic glint in those eyes, which terrified Inez.

This was how Dominic looked at her when he was about to hand the most soul-crushing punishment to her.
