Chapter 28: Accusing her despite the betrayal
"And just what do you think you are doing, Alpha Sokolov?" Dominic’s voice was laced with annoyance when he saw Killian step in between him and Inez. Even his wolf growled at the audacity of the lycan, who was trying to interfere in a matter that didn’t belong to him or had nothing to do with him.
Killian had the good grace to look politely troubled. He raised his hands in mock surrender and said to Dominic, "I do not mean any disrespect." He spoke in a tone that clearly showed how little he thought of Dominic and his threats. "But I believe that the young woman doesn’t want to go or stay with you, Alpha Cherith. Since that’s the case, why don’t you respect her wishes?"
Inez was glad that he was trying to talk some sense into Dominic. Just now, what he did to her in that office, shook her up. The Dominic she knew would never do something so low, such as forcing one of his wolves to submit to him forcefully.
However, the man clearly was not the one with whom she had grown up. He was bitter and resentful about something and Inez had no idea what it was. But she was done asking.
If he wanted to blame her for murdering his pet dog, then go ahead and be done with it. She would rather be executed than suffer through another round of humiliation.
"This is between me and my wolf." Dominic growled as he shot a threatening glare at Inez, asking her to step past Killian and come stand next to him.
Like she was an idiot.
"Indeed," Killian’s voice was calm without any signs of anger. Even though Dominic was almost into his face, the lycan didn’t show any signs of clasping Dominic by his throat and shaking him by his neck, which made Inez wonder if the rumours about Killian were even true. "However, you have to understand that Miss Sinclair is not only one of your wolves; she is also an individual who has her own thoughts and actions."
"You cannot subject her to forceful subjection, can you? I don’t think, as her alpha, you are allowed to do that." There was pure taunt in his voice, which made Dominic wonder if this man had heard Inez refute him just now.
