Chapter 218: Running Into Dominic (2)

Inez stiffened as she raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. The all-too-familiar scent washed over her, and it took all her control not to lunge at the man and slash his throat from his neck. Yeah, that was how badly a siren took rejection. Her eyes met those of Dominic, who stared down at her.

"Are you okay?" Dominic reached out to hold her.

His reaction towards her was instinctive, as the fragments of their bonds still lingered between the two of them. Inez sighed and stepped backwards. They had no future together anymore; there was no reason for her to entertain those broken fragments.

Dominic’s eyes darkened when the woman stepped away from him. He couldn’t understand the irrational desire to lock the woman up. She was not his mate; she was Killian’s woman, and even if she shared many similarities with Inez, it didn’t make her Inez. Even her scent was all wrong, and yet he couldn’t help but be drawn to her.

"Dom?" Eve, who was clutching Dominic’s arm, peered at the woman standing behind them and back up. Her eyes widened slightly when she saw the familiar possessiveness in Dominic’s eyes, the same one that she had seen when the man had looked at Inez. Even when he was with her, he was looking at her as a substitute for Inez.

She would never forget the fact that he called her Inez when he fucked her after getting drugged, even when he was out of his mind—that woman never left his fucking mind.

Jealousy burned heavily in her heart. Why? Why was he looking at another woman with the same possessive gaze as Inez when he had never looked at her like that?

She recalled how her father nearly had to go on his knees to get her out of prison. It was only when her father used his authority as the former beta of the pack that Dominic allowed her to step out of the prison cell, but in exchange, her family lost all the privileges that she had as the daughter of the beta.
