Chapter 74: Not As Easy

"Thank you," Selene said to Inez when they were done with the treatment. She moved her wrist and smiled softly when she realised that she could move her hands without feeling excruciating pain. "I feel much better than I usually do."

"This is what I should do," Inez replied, as she didn’t feel like she had done anything special. And she indeed thought that she was not doing anything worth the praise or the gratitude. She was only repaying Killian for giving her a place in his pack when everyone had refused to let her in.
