Chapter 108: Past And Present
"Are you upset?"
Inez heard Killian ask as the two of them stepped out of Ally’s lodge. He had punished Ally with the cleaning duty to take care of the pack’s training room. From what Selene told her, that place was no different from a ground where piles of trash were thrown.
According to Selene, the training rooms were splattered with blood all over the walls, floor and even the roof. Sometimes, when the lycans went too feral, they would end up maiming someone, leading to flesh and bones being stuck all over that place.
’A butcherhouse will be cleaner than that place,’ she told her while holding her hand and patting it soothingly. ’You might think that Kill let her off easily by handing her cleaning duty, but the truth is that many people would rather get hanged upside down than clean that place.’
’True that,’ a grumpy Laxus chimed from behind Selene, and something told Inez that he, too, had been given the same punishment at some point.
She knew that Selene told her this because she felt bad about what happened to Inez, but honestly, she didn’t even care about it. Others might believe otherwise, but Inez truly felt nothing.
"No," she replied and when the man beside her raised a quirky brow, she raised her hands in the air and said to him, "I am speaking the truth. I am not upset; compared to the things that Eve accused me of, this was nothing but a pretty, cute attempt in my eyes."
She paused and added, "In fact, if Ally had been cruel enough, like getting a serious injury or something of the sort, then I would have no case to battle. It’s a good thing that she is not smart enough."
Killian arched his brows. He questioned, "Did Eve do that a lot? Put the blame on you for the injuries that she got herself?"
