Chapter 171: Putting Distance
"So what if he is your son?" Edira questioned with a hint of reproach in his voice. "Do you think that just because he is your son, you don’t need to show him adequate respect?"
"I am his mother, and I—"
"I know that you are my mother, but you too don’t have the right to insult me or my woman," snapped Killian. "Now go back; you don’t want to stay away from your pack, do you? You will hate it if others start to think that you are moving here, right? Wouldn’t want to associate with my crazy self, right?"
Molly gave him a look of sheer loathing. That’s right, loathing. The woman hated him, and not in a light-hearted manner, but in a way an enemy would. Her gaze then shifted and turned to Inez. And the loathing within her eyes turned even more intense. Inez stared defiantly back without saying anything.
Seeing Inez staring back, Molly scoffed before turning around on her feet and walking past the two of them.
Killian watched the woman leave. His face was taut, and his jaw was tightly clenched as Molly stepped down the stairs.
"Kill, come with me," Edira spoke in a no-nonsense voice. It was clear that she was not going to let Killian slide or ignore her this time around, not that he had any intention to do so.
He turned to look at Inez, who stood next to him, and kissed her on the forehead before saying to her, "You can either stay here or go back. I will come to see you in a matter of a few minutes."
After he finished speaking, he followed Edira inside the main lodge. As he trudged past the door of the office, Edira closed it and walked to the end of the room, where she sat down on the couch. Not a good sign. Every time Edira had to sit down to discuss something, it was not a good thing.
