Chapter 115: A proposal (2)

"I told you I am good when it comes to catching lies, didn’t I?" Killian tilted his head to one side and stated in a quiet voice, "It is such a surprise that a woman as wise as you keeps forgetting something so simple again and again."

Inez sucked in a breath. She was about to speak when Killian raised his hand in the air. Seeing this, her instincts reacted before she could, and Inez flinched. Fear surged in her eyes as she froze on the spot like a deer caught in headlights.

Inez heaved a sigh of relief when she heard his words. So, he was just checking her injury. She thought that the man was about to hit her for causing him embarrassment by ruining a good alliance.

"I understand, Alpha Sokolov," Inez replied.

"Good, then you can go back and deal with your injuries first. There is no need for you to come to the pack hall today," Killian told her, as he believed that something about the incident with Jared had shaken Inez. Even though the woman wasn’t showing it on her face.

Inez acknowledged his command and turned to walk away.
