Chapter 155: Separation of Lovers
Inez stiffened, and so did Selene. The two women turned sharply and looked at the guard who had spoken, and when they saw that the man was coming out of Inez’s lodge, their tension heightened even further.
Especially Inez, who clenched her fists so tightly that she nearly pierced through the skin of her palm. She could feel her heart jumping to her throat as all sorts of thoughts started to run through her head.
Maybe she should just make a run for it? But would she be able to run past these many shifters? Inez knew that she couldn’t. She, who was a latent, could never outrun these many shifters. So what was she going to do? Stay here and watch herself get caught? That was not something that Inez was willing to do.
However, just as she tried to turn on her feet, Killian squeezed her hand. Startled, she raised her head and looked at the man who very subtly shook his head.
’Stay put.’
She heard Killian’s voice in her head through the pack bond, and so did the rest of the pack, but they didn’t take it to heart, as they thought that Killian was only saying those words to them because he wanted them to stay steady.
Only Inez knew that the man wanted her to stay calm and keep her heart steady.
She pursed her lips, not understanding what Killian was trying to do by stopping her. Couldn’t he see that the guard was heading straight towards them? What if the man wanted to entrap and imprison her? However, her siren seemed to trust Killian, and somewhere, Inez did too.
So, even though her heart was about to burst with nervousness and worries, she was willing to trust him. With bated breath, she watched the man getting closer and closer, and as the guard was just a few feet away from her, she lowered her head. It happened instinctively as she feared being tackled to the ground.
