Chapter 175: She is mine
Inez didn’t get a chance to look at the face of the man holding her tight. Gritting out, she slashed her claws at the man’s wrists. The intruder loosened his hold on her enough for Inez to rush toward the alarm button and press it, but just as she did, the man tackled her, sending her down on the floor.
Again, the two of them started to wrestle, but this time around, as the man’s hands locked around her neck, she lost. Inez didn’t wish to admit it, but she did. With the venom in her body, she could barely move, let alone fight or rush for the water. As all the breath in her lungs started to leave, her vision began to darken, and her body became completely paralysed.
However, as her body started to become more and more numb, a tranquillity started to sit within her. It pushed away the panic that was clawing inside of her. However, just as the darkness started to set in, the weight on her body was pushed away, and Inez felt someone yell her name.

"I said I am fine," Killian said to Finn. He was sitting in his office and rubbing his forehead while trying his best to ease the throbbing headache. These past few days, he had stayed cooped up in his office and handled the matters related to his businesses and the pack.
Killian was able to deal with the distance that he was putting between himself and Inez by keeping himself occupied. His beast, however, didn’t seem to be doing well. He was antsy and agitated. He paced inside Killian, erupting in growls and snappy roars as he whined and pushed to the surface, trying to take control.
His beast missed Inez, and so did he. Very much so.
But they couldn’t meet her, which was why he pushed his beast back down.
"You don’t look fine." Finn, the diva of the pack, crossed his arms in front of him and looked at Killian with a hint of reproach in his eyes. Even though Finn came off as someone who was deeply in control, a gentle sort of prince, Killian knew what lay behind that perfect persona.
