Chapter 126: On a Hit List
Scarlet burst out laughing. She pointedly said to Ricky, "Aww, are you worried?"
"This is not funny," Ricky growled. "Inez has been gone for weeks. If this continues, | am afraid that we might
never see her again." he paused and added, "And | believe that Dominic regrets it just as much. Haven't you
seen him? There are shadows under his eyes."
"Well, there were wounds under Inez's clothes, and | never saw any of you worrying about it," remarked Scarlet
with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
"Scarlet—"
"Leave it." Scarlet’s smile dropped, and it turned into a scowl as she said to Ricky, "Firstly, | don’t know where
Inez is. And secondly, even if | did, | would never tell you or anyone else where she is. Because you know what?
After what you and the rest have done to her, there is no such thing as a second chance. So tell your master to
kindly fuck off."
Scarlet twisted on her feet as she dropped those words and headed out of the room without looking behind her.
As soon as she opened the door, she ran into Maria, who was eavesdropping right outside of the door of her
room. When Scarlet saw her mother, she rolled her eyes and walked past her.
Maria chased right after her, and while fumbling with her words, she said to Scarlet, "Scar, you have to tell me
where your sister is... she is not safe outside, believe me."
"And she is safe here?" Scarlet didn’t pause as she picked up her jacket from the rack and threw it around her
shoulders. She tugged it close and then turned to look at her mother, who was teetering on the verge of saying
something. "She isn’t. Is she?"
After she finished speaking, Scarlet was about to leave when —
"She is a part siren."
All actions ceased to exist at that very moment. Scarlet turned around and looked at her mother in shock. She

"Inez—she....she is a siren," Maria spoke. Her voice was barely above a whisper as she choked on her sobs. "I—I
told her to never tell her identity to anyone. But | never thought that she would one day run away from the pack.
I am... oh, | am so worried, Scarlet. What if someone finds out the truth about her identity... | dislike her, but she
is my daughter in the end. | can’t... | don’t want her to die. Please tellwhere she is—I am worried."
She wrung her apron and added with tearful eyes, "Especially with the continuous disappearance of the rare and
unique skills shift. | am worried sick out of my mind —every night | wonder if those witches caught Inez."
Scarlet stared at her mother. She waited for the woman to say something, anything that would tell her that this
was just a lie, but when she didn’t, Scarlet strode inside and cto stand in front of her mother.
"Are you fucking crazy?" Scarlet hissed. Her voice was so low that no one other than them could hear it. "You hid
such important information from everyone?" If she had known that Inez was a siren, she would have thought of
something else. Scarlet wondered if this was the reason why Inez had always been on the edge with this family.
She frowned and questioned her mother, "Tell me, did Nessie’s disappearance have something to do with her
being a siren?"
When Maria didn’t say anything, Scarlet’s wolf lunged to the surface. A hiss erupted through Scarlet’s mouth and
she snarled, "You are fucking crazy. You knew! You knew her pain and sufferings, and yet you didn’t let her tell
Dom anything? Have you fucking lost it?"
By the tshe finished speaking, Scarlet was yelling.
Her voice attracted Ricky, who rushed down the stairs and looked at Scarlet, who was fuming mad and then
turned to look at his mother. "What the fuck is going on?"
"Ask your good mother." Scarlet pivoted on her heels and then rushed out of the house. Now that she knew the
reason why Inez had always been the way she was, she wondered if her sister was fucking alive or not. The last
thing she needed was for Inez to be eaten like a fucking fish.

"Achoo!" Inez sneezed as she covered her nose with her hands. Her eyes were squeezed shut, which she opened
after a few seconds. "I shouldn’t have gone for a swim yesterday."
"Is that a sneeze that | hear? | never thought that one day | would hear a fish sneeze."
She turned around and looked at Killian, who was striding towards her.
With a frown, she asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Why don’t you open it and see what it is?" Killian said to her, which only made Inez even more curious.
