Chapter 227: She was His
The man stared at Inez, who in turn was trying her best to suppress the gleeful smile that was threatening to break over her lips. She patted Jules on the back and turned to look at the man before quirking up a brow. She asked, "Is there something else that you would like to say to us? Though I don’t have time to waste, I will humour you."
"Excuse me?" The man spluttered in surprise, and Inez humoured him by shooting him a look of mock amusement and pity.
"You are excused; now off you go," she told the man. "The next time you see a drunk woman. You leave her alone; don’t try to shoot your shot just because you think you can mark her."
The man stared at her, and Inez stared right back. Though she was without a wolf, she still had her siren with her, and she clenched her fingers and willed the powers of the sea within her before putting more force in her voice and repeated, "Go."
Only then did the man turn around on his feet and walk away. Inez watched him go and felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her. As she was not aware of how to control her abilities and power as a siren, she used way more aether than was necessary. Because Inez couldn’t control her aether carefully, she got exhausted sooner and more quickly every time she used her siren skills.
Tearing her gaze away from the man who was walking away, Inez called for Ajax. She didn’t want to have him disturbed when he was clearly having a good time with Nyx; she had no other option either. Though she knew all the enforcers in the pack, she had shared a few words with Ajax alone. Thus, Inez felt it made sense for her to call Ajax, as Laxus was never going to leave Selene’s side.
Inez was not used to calling anyone through the pack bond, nor had she ever used the pack bond. But she still unblocked the channel and softly, with a rather tentative voice, called, ’Ajax?’
His response was almost immediate.
’Inez?’
’Yeah, it’s me. There is a little thing that I need your help with. Can you come to look for me? I am near the door.’
