Chapter 25: Might never surface

Inez let Killian drive her back to the pack, but didn’t let him drive her inside the pack. She didn’t want Dominic to use anything against her when the two of them started hashing out their odds.

"Thank you." Unbuckling the seat belt, Inez thanked the man in gratitude. He had given her shelter and let her take a quick shower in the most luxurious bathroom that Inez had ever seen. To cap it all, he even drove her back to the territory.

He might have done it on a whim, as Lycans were not known for their kindness. They were known for doing sporadic things just for their amusement. Nonetheless, he had helped her and even asked one of his packmates to drive her truck back to the pack.

Now, it was resting under the shade of a large tree hidden in the shadows.

"There is no need." Killian winked at her. "I was going to meet with your alpha anyway. The two of us have some matters that require careful consideration and discussion."

"I hope it is not about the contract?" Inez asked hopefully. The last thing she wanted was another beating just before she left the pack. And in case Dominic realised that she had gone out of his control, he might even lock her up under the pretext that she had failed in her job.

She would rather not be locked away.

Scarlet had taken enough risks to send her away, and she didn’t want things to go south. Especially not when it could cause trouble for Scarlet.

Killian shook his head. He said to her, "You don’t have to worry about it. I will let your alpha know that I need to discuss the contract and designs further. As for today’s meeting, it has nothing to do with the contract; it is closely related to the trouble of missing shifters."

Ah, yes. How could she forget? Over the past few months, shifters had slowly started to disappear. Especially shifters, who were known for their uniqueness and exquisiteness.
