Chapter 177: Not anymore

From what Nyx told her, Ajax had come to look for her just after he finished questioning the snake. Of course, the snake didn’t give them any useful information other than that he was a hired killer and someone had put forth a special request to get Inez killed. Almost the entire pack were used to Molly’s antics; thus, they didn’t even bother wasting time questioning the snake shifter and killed him

And ever since then, Ajax had been guarding her like her personal guardian. "He didn’t even go to the restroom," joked Nyx as she eyed the lycan with a hint of amusement on her face. "Said that he would rather hold it in than leave you alone."

Inez turned to look at Ajax, who was tucking the blanket around her legs. She said, "I am okay."

"Well, I am not. So let me stay a bit longer." Ajax sat down on the small sofa in the room. "Do you want to drink more water?"

"No, thanks," Inez replied with a shake of her head. Even though she had drunk loads of water already, Inez could still taste the chlorine in her mouth. Could still breathe the scent of it. She could also remember the moment when she was dragged down by the snake shifter and water started to flood her lungs.

Even though Inez could breathe normally now, she still felt her chest burst at odd times.
