Chapter 74: Not As Easy
"Thank you," Selene said to Inez when they were done with the treatment. She moved her wrist and smiled softly when she realised that she could move her hands without feeling excruciating pain. "I feel much better than I usually do."
"This is what I should do," Inez replied, as she didn’t feel like she had done anything special. And she indeed thought that she was not doing anything worth the praise or the gratitude. She was only repaying Killian for giving her a place in his pack when everyone had refused to let her in.
It was a deal with each of them getting what they wanted; Inez felt it would be too shallow if she let it get to her head.
"That’s really sweet of you," Selene remarked. Her eyes, which had softened, turned a little stern as she questioned, "I wonder if you are getting along with the pack members? I hope that no one is causing you any trouble after the fiasco at the dining area?"
"I don’t usually get involved with the pack members," Inez replied as she poured herself a glass of water. "I stick to my lodge most of the time."
Selene nodded when she heard her response. She softly murmured, "I think that this is better; at least you will be safe."
"Safe?" Inez repeated. Her heart couldn’t help but suddenly clench when she heard Selene’s remark. What did Selene mean by saying she would stay safe?
However, before Selene could reply, someone knocked on the door. Both of the women turned to look at the man who was standing at the threshold of the door.
"Are you done?" Laxus asked. "Killian has called for another meeting, and he is asking everyone to come to the pack hall."
