Chapter 152: Rising Misunderstandings (2)

Inez wondered if Selene would be alright if she didn’t attend the party. Though Nyx’s actions seemed perfectly friendly, Inez couldn’t help but dig a bit too deep within them. Maybe it was because she was used to being stabbed in the back that she was thinking too much. Most probably, Nyx didn’t even mean any harm to Selene.

When she didn’t say anything, Ajax didn’t force her. Instead, he changed the topic, but the topic only made Inez even more stifled and worried.

"Did you hear about a siren being captured?" Ajax inquired in an off-hand voice.

On hearing his words, Inez frowned and asked, "Where did you hear this from?"

"I heard it from Finn, who heard it from Laxus, who in turn heard it from Matt, who received the news from the many sources that he has stretched out there," replied Ajax. "According to Matt, this had something to do with the witches and the N.H.M. There had been quite a lot of kidnapping in the past few months, especially of sirens. I believe that it’s because their blood is useful for the potion or witchcraft that the witches do."

"I know," Inez spoke in a soft voice.

Over the years, when she was growing up with her grandmother, she had often heard about sirens being kidnapped by either the shifters or the witches. If they escaped their deadly fate, they would be caught by the council, who would later use their blood and flesh as if they were livestock raised in stables.

Sirens and unique shifters like hers had it really tough. Even though they were skilled and powerful, they always had to live while hiding because if they were caught, it would be the end for them.

Ajax misunderstood her expression and thought that she was feeling sorry for the siren who was caught by the witches. He said to her, "I know that you feel sorry for them, but what can be done? This is how the world works."
