Chapter 12: One more —just one more

Inez shuddered in fear when she heard him shout at her. She knew that Dominic was out of his fucking mind, but she never thought that he also had these maniacal episodes. She had no idea what had triggered this response from him but she was not going to linger behind and ask him.

She scrambled to her feet and rushed out of the office, and once she was in the privacy of her cubicle, she took a deep breath and tried to shake off the jitters.

Inez wasn’t amused by Dominic’s actions nor was she proud of the fact that even after suffering such humiliation, she had to stay in this place and work as if everything was alright.

She breathed out and pulled the drawer of her table open, ignoring the resignation letter in the drawer that was lying inside the drawer, she took out the small box of balm that was pushed to the very end of the drawer before closing it shut.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about handing the letter to Dominic. But her haywire emotions that were scattered all over the place because of the sudden change made it difficult and the remaining difficulty arose from the contract that she had signed.

Inez didn’t want to be locked up in prison for violating the shifter contract; thus, she had no choice but to abide by the clauses. If she resigned before the term was over, Inez knew that Dominic would not think twice before sending her to the Shifter Council.

With his contacts, she might as well forget about coming out for the rest of her life.
