Chapter 153: People from the council
One evening, Inez was returning to the lodge after another session. The cobblestone path had been washed
away by the rainwater and covered with moss, causing her to slip and skid with every step she took. She was
about to turn around and head over to her lodge when she suddenly heard the sound of cars coming to a stop.
Pausing, she turned around and looked in the direction from which the sound came. However, the second she
turned her head to look at the car, which had stopped in front of the rest, her eyes widened when she saw the
person who had stepped out.
"Dominic?" Inez was surprised to see Dominic standing in front of her.
The man was wearing a leather jacket with fur around the collar, with a matching shirt and cargo pants. As he
looked around, his gaze fell on Inez, who stiffened like a deer caught in headlights. She noticed how his eyes
darkened as if the stormy cloud had taken hold of them.
Inez sucked in a breath before turning her gaze away from him and looking at the man who stepped out of the
car after him. The man was wearing a grey coat that had a lapel fold. His brown hair was slightly windswept as
he looked around the territory with a stern expression on his face.
"Lyla."
Hearing the familiar voice calling out to her, Inez raised her head and looked at Dominic, who had cto a stop
in front of her at spoint. Her siren lunged to her surface, as she had not quite forgotten the video that had
been posted on the NHM site. Even Inez wanted to let her siren take over, but she stopped herself in due time,
for she feared a war between the two packs.
Though the lycans in this pack were crazy as hell and might even welca war, Inez didn’t want to be the key
to start that war.
She lowered her head and suppressed the urge to rip Dominic's head off his shoulders. She narrowed her eyes

Once her rage had died down, what followed was surprise. She raised her hand and looked at her wristwatch,
and saw that it was quite late.
So what was this man doing here, and that too at this hour?
"I am a member of the council. We received word that there was a witch hiding in the Red Blood Hill pack, and
she was recently caught. Since Killian didn’t let anyone in the council know about it, we are here to check if there
are any other unknown creatures hiding in this pack. One cannot be sure about it."
Selene, who had arrived with Laxus, was stunned when she heard Dominic's words. Her eyes flickered to Inez,
who stood in front of Dominic, and she exchanged a glance with Laxus, their hearts skipping a beat. Fortunately,
there was a loud commotion going on around the territory with the arrival of the council members, and no one
paid any attention to them.
They looked at Inez and then turned to look at Dominic, wondering what this man was even trying to do.
"Unknown creatures?" Inez asked, while wondering if the man was already aware of her identity.
"That's right," Dominic nodded with a smile on his face as he took in a microexpression. The more he looked at
her, the more the woman reminded him of Inez. She, too, would scrunch up her nose and frown like this when
she was lost in thought or something was bothering her. "We are here to discuss the matter regarding the witch
who was caught, and yet Alpha Sokolov failed to let the council know."
"If your men had worked harder and faster, then nothing like this would have happened. | thought you would be
ashamed of the lack of attention, but clearly | overestimated you and the council." At long last, Killian had made
his way to the clearing. His expression was mild, and his lips were curled up in his usual teasing smile.
He then glanced at the man next to Dominic and nodded at him. "Noah, a not-so-pleasant surprise as always."
The man named Noah didn’t seem surprised by Killian’s lack of welcome. He simply nodded and said to him
gently, "Rickety and rebellious as always, Killian. You should have let the council know that you caught a witch
before killing her. She could have been of great use to the council."

Noah narrowed his eyes. Though the man didn’t show it on his face, it was quite clear that he was quite
unnerved by this explosive bit of information.
"A halfling, you say?"

As she cto stand next to him, Killian turned to look at the two men and questioned, "If that is all—"
"No", Noah stepped forward and looked at the man. With a stern gaze, he stated in a quiet voice, "We also
received another bit of information. That there is a siren living in this pack."
