Chapter 43: A Place To Stay

"You are a siren."

That was the first thing that Killian said to her the second he woke up. Inez was not even surprised that he had put two and two together. She simply sighed and said, "You are mistaken."

"Am I?" The lycan raised a brow and questioned. "You can deny all you want, but it will take just a simple test from the council, and we can deduce whether you are a siren or not."

"I beg your pardon? I think I saved your life," Inez scoffed. It was one thing that this man had not said a word of thank you, but now he was threatening her with the council.

"And yet you are threatening me?" Inez asked with a raise of her brow. Though she was indeed terrified of the notion that others would find out that she was a siren, she couldn’t show any signs of weakness.

His dark eyes slowly raked over her, lingering a little too long at her mouth. Though she knew why Killian was staring at her lips, heat still flooded her cheeks.

"I am not threatening you," his silky smooth voice slid over her, teasing her senses. "I am giving you a choice."

Inez frowned. "And what kind of choice are you speaking of?" because she certainly didn’t hear anything at the moment.
