Chapter 45: A New Beginning
Leaves littered the dirt path, and the entire pack was surrounded by large, regal-looking cliffs that faced the
shoreline. At a distance, she could notice a gigantic forest that was not far from the territory.
There were rather impressive lodges at the base of the cliffs where the ocean was. The place was illuminated
with lanterns and lamps, making it seem cosy and almost magical.
Finn pulled to a stop in the centre of a row of all kinds of vehicles, which left Inez’s mouth to fall agape. She knew
that Red Blood Hill was filthy rich, but she never thought that they were this rich.
Inez pulled out her earbuds and stepped out of the car before Killian could open the door for her. She didn’t know
whether he was a gentleman or something of the sort, but he looked quite miffed when he saw that she had
stepped out of the car without his help.
‘Maybe he is just used to chivalry?’ Inez thought. However, she didn’t pay attention to him and instead turned
her gaze to the sultry ocean. She was enjoying the scents of sun-warmed earth, moss, sea salt and peace. If only
Nia could enjoy this sight with her.
She hoped that her wolf would be willing to forget the scars once she basked in a peaceful yet untamed
atmosphere.
Carrying her luggage, Finn turned to look at the two of them. He said, "The rest of the pack is waiting for you
two," which basically meant that he had already snitched about her arrival.
Inez sighed as she followed Killian. The two of them hiked down the stairs that led to the many lodges that were
at the base of the cliff, and soon, the three of them arrived at the base of the cliff. Killian led her past the many
boulders that were sticking out of the sandy beach.
He took her to the lodge that was at the centre. Inside the living area, eight males were waiting for Killian and
from the looks of it, they were most probably the ones who held the highest authority in the pack. A middle-aged
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwoman sat at the centre with a fairly young brunette. The two of them were staring at Inez with familiar hostility
that she had seen in her previous pack.
Inez sighed. She knew this was going to happen, and to make things worse, she also sensed a confrontational
energy from two shifters who looked like siblings.
Next to them sat an old woman who was looking at Inez with subtle distaste. As if she were really offended by
Inez and her audacity to stand in the living hall.
‘Wonderful, just the thing that | need.’ Inez thought as she could feel another headache arising.
"Well, that’s one way to scare—I mean, welcus," Killian remarked while looking at his pack members, who
were staring at him and Inez with wariness and anger. If Killian weren't sure he brought a female shifter with
him, he would have thought he brought a monster. A hideous one at that.
"Welcher? Now that’s a good joke," that deep voice belonged to the male who sat next to the young
woman. He was not as good-looking as Killian, but he seemed to be trying hard to assert his dominance and that
too in a way that was—well—not very attractive. Inez just had to look at his posture, and the flash of annoyance
and bitterness flashed in his eyes; this was enough to know that the guy had a chip on his shoulder. Inez
wondered what that chip was about.
The man continued to glare at Inez and said, "We don’t welca traitor like her. We will never welcome
someone like her."
"And | don’t think | asked for your opinion," retorted Killian with a smile. "So, can you fuck off?" That seemed to
only piss the man off even more but Inez was not under the illusion that Killian’s assertive dominance was going
to shut him off.
Finn sighed beside Inez. He then leaned forward and whispered, "He is Fenric Virella, my cousin. | am really sorry
about him. | hope you will not take his words to heart because he was diagnosed with a deficiency of politeness
when he turned sixteen."
"In short, he is an arsehole." Inez deadpanned.
She only received a smile from the man just as she turned to look at the woman who was sitting beside Fenric.
Inez had a feeling that the reason Fenric was so against her had something to do with her.
"She is Nyx, Fenric’s sister," Finn relayed when he saw Inez staring at the young female shifter sitting beside
Fenric.
The woman seemed to have heard him; she glanced at Inez before snorting and turning her gaze away.
Yeah, her twith this pack of wolves was going to be awesome.
