Chapter 44: Protecting Her Peace

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" She asked in a low voice. The two of them were now waiting for Killian’s pack members to come and get them. However, Inez didn’t think that she would be welcomed by them. Not only was she infamous, but her reputation was in shambles, all due to Eve.

Killian raised a brow and stated in a quiet voice, "Well, unless they are idiots. They will know better than to judge a person on baseless rumours."

"You mean to say that you trust that I didn’t cause any trouble for Eve and the pack?" Inez asked. However, Killian noticed that rather than voicing her disappointment, she had blanked her expression, completely shutting him out—which his beast didn’t like in the least— and turned her head away. Her rosy lips pursed in a thin line as she looked away from him.

Killian’s eyes darkened as he too turned his head away from her because at that moment, he sensed that his beast actually wanted to rub his scent on Inez. An act so possessive that it terrified Killian slightly, and he had this urge to step away from the female shifter next to him.

This was going to get annoying really soon. He sighed and changed the topic. "Why didn’t you tell Alpha Cherith that you are a siren? I don’t think that he would have treated you in such a reckless manner."

I might be a part-shifter, but I have the pride of a siren, and sirens never beg a man or woman to love them." She turned her head and looked at him with those glittering, jewel-like eyes. "Love comes to find us effortlessly as long as we want it to."

Killian swallowed hard when he heard Inez’s confident tone. Though she was a part shifter, her strength was not less than a dominant one. And that tone ... it had his wolf falling head over heels in lust.

Pathetic.
