Chapter 110: A Second Chance
Pain crept into her heart, and Inez clenched the fork in between her fingers. She exhaled heavily and said to
Killian, "I did learn a few tricks from my grandmother; after all, cooking is like the basic skill for survival."
It was a lie, and Killian knew that it was a lie, but he didn’t question her. Nor did he say another word when he
saw the tears in her eyes. Even though his heart was breaking apart at the sight of her tears. His beast let out a
roar inside of him, and Killian almost dropped to his knees to ask Inez how to make everything alright.
How to make this stop? Because as long as she was willing to stop crying, he was willing to do anything.
The pull alone was enough to make his heart clench with worry and anxiety. It also scared him. Killian had never
faced or seen a woman in his life who had a power as strong as Inez had over him. He was the alpha of lycans,
and with the blood of the lycan king flowing in his veins, how could he even think of kneeling in front of a
woman?
The thought alone was terrifying in itself.
Why would an alpha even want to kneel in front of a latent?
Killian rose to his feet, and Inez raised her head. She had calmed down enough to will away her tears and was
now looking at him with a frown on her face. "Is something the matter?" she asked.
"It’s nothing," Killian calmly replied, even though the ripples within his heart made him panic inwardly. He
glanced at the woman and, for the first tsince he brought Inez to the pack’s territory, he realised that he
might have brought a lot more than just sslightly troublessiren.

"Have you maybe considered that she might be your mate?"
After making his abrupt escape from the lodge where Inez lived, Killian returned to his office before sharing his
deepest and most profound secret feelings with Finn. The man had calmly listened to him without saying a word
throughout the entire time, and once Killian had finished speaking, Finn parted his lips and asked a question

"You are forgetting that my mate is dead, Finn," Killian barked. Just the very thought of that woman made his
skin crawl. The pack only knew what Lyra wanted them to know; she had never, not once, let them find out what
she had done and what kind of secrets she had carried.
Her personality was carved and moulded to that of elegance and refined arrogance. She was like the little
princess of the Virella family.
Something Morrineth had often claimed.
The mask that she had worn was so refined that even Killian couldn't see her for what she was.
Sometimes he even wondered if there was ssort of mismatch up above in the sky. Mates usually balanced
out one another. If one were darkness, then the other had to be the light. He was twisted enough in his head for
his mate to be the same. But Killian knew the pull that he felt when he turned eighteen was not a mistake.
"I am not claiming that Lyra was not your mate or that you made a mistake on your part," Finn stated in a quiet
voice. With a thoughtful look on his face, he continued, "There have been instances where shifters who have a
failed mating would end up finding a second chance mate. It could happen to you, too, Kill. Maybe Inez might be
the second opportunity that you have been waiting for."
His mate? Killian shook his head. He didn’t quite believe it. "I would have sensed it if she were my mate. | did it
the last twith Lyra."
"That's because you were eighteen and looking forward to meeting your mate," Fiinn corrected him sagely.
"However, after what happened with Lyra, you seemed to have put your guard up. With your mind and soul so
guarded, | don’t think you will sense it. What's more, for one to sense that they are mates, they need to bare
their all... You might not be prepared for that."
Finn was indeed correct. After what happened with Lyra, forget about baring his all to someone; he didn’t even
want to tell a female shifter that he couldn’t even taste anything that he ate. That he had lost more than he had
gained every the had loved someone.
"Then she would—"

the suggestion alone. He crossed his

Killian raised his head upon hearing his beta’s response. He frowned and remarked, "Did you not say that no one
was willing to talk about it since Dominic passed down the order to his packmates?"
"He did." Finn took out the information that he had collected and dumped it in front of Killian. "However, Dominic
is not an excellent alpha that everyone would want to follow, Kill. His judgement is —especially at the moment —
causing quite a ruckus in their pack."
Killian, however, was not listening.
