Chapter 217: Running Into Dominic
I am sorry but I am a bit under the weather today. If the Chapter is not up to the mark, I can only apologise my fairies.

"Are you ready?" Selene arrived at the lodge where Inez was staying, as Killian was busy securing the boundaries of the pack to make sure that no issue would arise tonight. She peered inside the lodge with Laxus behind her; however, when the man made a move to walk inside the lodge, she turned and snapped at him, "You stay here."
The man looked at her with an expression of sheer hurt, but Selene remained unbothered. She turned around and then moved her wheelchair inside the living hall; the door closed behind her as she raised her head and called Inez, "You ready, Inez?"
When Selene didn’t hear a response, she was about to turn around and ask Laxus to come inside. As much as she would have loved to depend on herself rather than on anyone else, Selene knew that she was as close to walking upstairs like a normal person as shifters befriending witches.
But before she could turn her wheelchair around, the sound of footsteps echoed behind her, and Selene raised her head. When she saw Inez walking down, dressed in the royal blue evening gown, her eyes couldn’t help but widen in surprise.
"You look beautiful," Selene breathed as Inez stepped down the last stair.
Inez looked down. She knew that Selene was speaking the truth; the sincerity in her eyes was blinding, but even when the compliment was so raw and honest, Inez couldn’t accept it freely. It wasn’t her fault. Spend a good three years with a pack that treats you like trash, and you will start having doubts about your own worth.
"Thanks," said Inez as she glanced at Selene and heaved a sigh of relief. "I am glad that you decided against wearing those old gowns."
Selene smiled. A hint of amusement tinged her eyes as she remarked, "I believe those dresses will do a much better job as rags rather than as my clothes."
