Chapter 232: Twisted Morality

Comfortably perched on the barstool next to the temporary bar that was set up for the party, Inez gave the entire hall another look over. She didn’t see Dominic, which she considered a good thing. Other than getting rid of his creepy presence from her life, Inez hoped that Dominic would snap out of whatever he was going through. He was wasting away his time and destroying his pack and his reputation for a bond that had ceased to exist the very day he rejected her.

At least for her.

She had told him again and again that she would only give him three chances. If he fucked them up, she would never, ever forgive him. Inez knew that it was a shitty thing to do. Her words were not written in stone; she could take them back if she wanted to. She could see that Dominic was in pain, that he was going through some serious withdrawal symptoms, but that was on him.

Inez was willing to give him the entire world when she was chasing him, when she was in love with him, but now that those feelings of the fated bond had fizzled out, she was not going to back down. She was never going to return. Never.

"Here you go, girl," said the bartender with a smile on his lips. He placed a cosmo on the bar.

Inez gave him a soft smile. "Thank you." She picked up the drink and sipped it, a soft humming sound escaping her lips as she remarked, "I like this."

"Of course you do," said the man as he started arranging another drink that he placed on the counter for the submissive to take away. He raised his head and shot her a beaming smile before saying, "I haven’t heard a single complaint about it from the day I started bartending. If anything, my customers return all the time to get more of it."

"They must have," Inez agreed, because she too, could feel like having another one, and she was not a fan of alcohol.
