Chapter 114: A proposal
"Mhm, | see," Killian nodded as he turned his attention to the man. Raising an imperious brow at the man, he
said to him, "It seems like all the women you are serving are keeping you quite busy, Jared. Don’t worry; we are
worried about Morrineth’s childish tantrum just as much as you are. So naturally, we will keep your secret."
Inez frowned when she heard his remark. It seemed like the lycans’ senses were much better than she expected
them to be. He even heard the conversation between the two, even though they were so far from where he
stood just seconds ago.
Jared's face turned red. He tried to turn the situation around in his favour. "It wasn’twho caused the trouble.
It is her; she followedto Esper yesterday. | believe she has sother intentions. Which is why I, being a
gentleman, cto clear the air with her."
When Inez heard his shameless words, she scoffed. She turned to Killian and defended herself almost
immediately, "I didn’t. First of all, | have always been curious about the pub, as | had never gone there but had
heard a lot about it. It was just a coincidence that you sawthere." she paused and continued, "there was
absolutely no need for you to dragdown here and threaten to kill me. Do you think you are painted with elf
dust? Why would | chase after a man whose heart is as rotten as his dick?"
"And not to forget, you tried to choke the life out ofjust now."
Now, Inez felt slightly annoyed. If she had known that her appearance would cause trouble for her, she would
have returned to her usual self. She never once thought that Jared would clooking for her. She only changed
her appearance because she didn’t want to be goggled by everyone in the pack like always.
Who would have thought that her bad luck was this bad? She escaped the gossipy and contempt-filled eyes of
the pack members but ended up getting entangled with Jared.
Killian’s eyes flickered toward her neck, and when he noticed the fingerprints on her pale skin, his lips thinned on
their own.

mean that you are allowed to do anything that you want." Killian didn’t raise his voice, but it was enough to
make Jared shiver.
The man, however, was either too bold, too courageously stubborn or simply a fool because a second later, Inez
heard him say, "Alpha Sokolov, are you really going to stand up for this woman? You...how could you step up for
her—"
"Jared, is that how you should be talking to an alpha?" Killian questioned with a disapproving look on his face.
Jared stiffened. However, he still held his ground and said to Killian, "You cannot threaten me, Killian. | have
helped you many times. Not to mention, | am one of the few people you can use to make deals with the humans.
You better think twice before trying to threaten me."
Killian smiled. However, as he unsheathed his claws, Inez knew that the man was pissed off.
He stepped towards the man, who took a step back. However, as Jared was not watching where he was going, he
ended up slipping down the path as his foot hit the boulder that was behind him.
With a mighty crash, the man fell on his bottom.
"Tsk, tsk," Killian clicked his tongue as he stepped in front of the man. "I thought that a man with balls as big as
you would be a bit more gutsy. Seems like | overestimated you."
"Killian—"
"You should go back home, lest someone, especially Morrineth, hear that you have been seeing other women
behind her back."
He heard the sound of fading footsteps, and when he turned around, he saw Inez climbing up the path. She was
heading back to her lodge without looking at the two of them.
Jared got to his feet; his stature was slightly crooked as he glared at Killian. "Don’t even think about —"
"Retaliating." Killian finished for him. He slowly turned to look at Jared and said to him, "Don’t ever think of
retaliating. You might have a father with enough money to buy a bunch of shifter territories, but that doesn’t
mean you can controlor my actions."
Inez, who had left the two men behind, quickly made her way to the lodge. She couldn't believe that she ended
up getting into trouble once again, even though she had been careful.
Though this time, Inez had to admit
that she was careless. If she had
been a bit more AR then Jared
uld heveriever 5 en her. But then
again, Jared was the one who was
too careful, as he was doing
something wrong; he was worried
about getting caught. The content is

"You really know how to get into trouble. Shall | tie you to myself?"
Inez whipped around and saw Killian
walking toward her. She gathered
herself and responded aCaM

Inez’s face turned red. She replied in a cold voice, "I just went there to enjoy it like any other shifter."
"Is that so?" Killian questioned with a raise of his brow. "What a coincidence for you to go to the spub as
Jared and on the snight as well." He paused and added, "Bubbles, it seems like you have a really poor
memory."
"Why do you say that?"
