Chapter 173: Assassination attack!
She needed a swim.
Inez came up with this thought after a few days. Swimming was the only way she could unwind, and her siren seriously needed it. A couple of days had passed since Killian came up with the ’we need to stay clear of each other’s path’ theory, and neither of them had run into each other.
Though she did see Morrineth a couple of times, the woman seemed to be in an excellent mood. It made her siren snap her teeth every time she saw Morrineth. However, Inez had always been in control of her siren, other than the time when it concerned Killian. Thus, even though her siren very much wished to end the life of the damn woman then and there, she somehow managed to restrain herself.
But that brought her back to the point that she needed to seriously unwind herself. She also needed to go to Selene’s lodge and bring her shopping, as the woman had finally agreed to go with her and shop for a new dress.
"Where are you going?"
Halfway down the stairs of her lodge, she ran into Ajax, who had been given the responsibility of being her bodyguard. Not that she had needed one, but the alternative would have been to stay in the lodge next to where Killian lived, and Inez didn’t wish to see the face of that jerk for the time being.
Her siren hissed at the scent of another man, but Inez ignored her. It wasn’t Ajax’s fault that he was asked to stay guard around her lodge. She smiled at him. "Just for a swim."
Ajax nodded. He was wearing a loose, sleeveless t-shirt which showcased his muscular arms as he had them crossed in front. "I will go with you."
"I am good," Inez shook her head and refused. When she saw Ajax looking a bit troubled, she said to him, "I am just going to the swimming pool in the main lodge; it’s not like I will be attacked there, right?"
