Rejected Luna: Untamed Desire Of The Lycan Alpha

Inez listened to Scarlet speak through the phone. Now that her new identity was more or less fermented enough, she had little to no qualms in calling her sister. Once she had returned to her lodge, the first thing she had done was to call Scarlet while Killian did his own thing.

A frown settled between her brows as Inez asked, "And what do you mean by that?"

"Come on, Inez. Do you really never see through Dominic’s actions?"

She stared at her for a second too long, her brain switching from ’I know what she is talking about’ to ’whatever the hell she is talking about’.
