Inez laughed softly. Her eyes were glinting with a subtle malice as she tilted her head to one side and
questioned, "So what if | was?" She then turned to look at Jules before saying to her, "Would you like to come
with me? | saw ssmall desserts that | would like to try." Then, without giving the woman a chance to speak
any further, Inez walked away.
Jules glanced at her and then at her so-called friends before turning around on her heels and following Inez.
Behind her, she could hear those women calling Inez a lot of names. Names that sounded so rude that even Jules
felt her blood boil, even when she was not the one who was getting cursed at.
"Ignore them," said Inez. As a shifter, her hearing was better than humans. Thus, even though those women
were whispering, she could hear them with ease. "Just ignore them," she added with as much dignity as she
could muster.
"You didn’t have to step in between," said Jules as she glanced at the women who were still whispering among
themselves. "I would have been fine. Anyway, it’s not the first tsomeone has spoken tolike that. It
happens all the time." She paused and smiled ruefully, "I sound like a whiny kid, don’t I?"
"No, you don’t."
Jules smiled at Inez.
"Thank you for helpingout, though. My brother-in-law was supposed to take care of me; he promised Fina
that he would take care of me, but that man went running the second he smelled the powerful alphas," snorted
Jules. "I really cannot understand how that man who resembles the rats on the street could ever becthe
mate of my cousin. She is so much more than just a licker, and that man is nothing but one."
Jules, however, soon realised that she had overshared the details and turned to look at Inez with a sheepish
smile.

wouldn't be her. She really couldn't do it. She was not good at comforting; the least Inez could do was to listen
when others were talking, but handing out anything more than sharing her own experience was pushing it.
Realising that she might have made the situation a bit awkward, Jules said to Inez, "How cyou never called
me? | was waiting for your call, but you never did."
Was that a whine that she was detecting? Thought Inez. She was not sure about why someone like Jules would
even want to befriend her or why she was waiting for her call. But she appreciated Jules nonetheless. It was a bit
comforting, knowing that someone wanted to be with her as her friend. Of course, if the woman ever found out
that she was a siren, there was a very good chance that things might go downhill right that very second.
"I wanted to call you, but I lost your number." Inez cup with the most random excuse she could as she took
a sip of the cherry soda. "The little strip was washed along with my clothes."
"Oh, that... could always happen," remarked Jules with a frown. "I remember doing it loads of times. Here, hand
Jules finished putting her number in Inez’s phone and then handed it back to her. She then said to Inez, "You
have no idea how bored | am while staying here. | asked my father to bringback home, but he doesn’t listen,
which is weird because my dad has never said no to me. He would bringa roasted ox if | told him that | was
feeling peckish. It’s the first the has toldno."
She crossed her arms and muttered, "It's weird. Because it has never happened."
Inez couldn’t say anything regarding this because she had never felt the love of a parent in the way Jules had.
Her mother wanted to keep her as downtrodden as possible. Maybe she thought that as long as she could
suppress Inez, the siren side—the one side that she detested—would be squashed and killed.
She is an idiot. No mortal can ever control the sea; they can imagine and dream of it, but they could never do it.
Nor can they destroy the creatures of the sea, her siren murmured within her.
Inez wanted to point out that the shifters had killed a bunch of sirens, mermaids and many other sea creatures,
but she realised that it was not the right topic to discuss at the moment. Anyway, back to the topic—she had
never been pampered rotten by her only parent. Thus, she truly couldn't understand what was weird about the
entire situation.
Did parents really care about their children so much that they would never say 'no’ to them? Because that was
all Inez had ever heard from her mother every tshe opened her mouth and faced the woman.
The thought of such a thing happening was what struck Inez as weird, if she was being honest.
