Chapter 257: You Owe Me Your Life

"Nothing. I am waiting for Selene to arrive," replied Killian as he dropped his hands to his sides. He shot her a smile when he noticed the frown between his eyes.

Inez leaned against the frame of the door; with her arms crossed, she said to him, "I don’t know how to say this without sounding bitchy. But thats not what I wanted to ask... never mind, why is Selene coming here? I am fine."

Killian got to his feet and, as he marched past her, she heard him say, "I know. But she is worried. She blames herself for what happened last night. Sel asked me to stay with you until she arrives; she wants to check up on you. I will stay until she gets here, or else she will throw a hissy fit. And I, too, don’t want to leave you alone. Not when you are not one hundred per cent."

I know what happened last night was something really crazy and dangerous, but hey, I survived it. You don’t need to make it sound like I nearly died."

You cannot expect me to tuck the incident at the back of my mind and act as if there is nothing wrong because there is no way I can do that."
