Chapter 50: Just Perfect
"Those are sfascinating words, Alpha Cherith."
Inez stiffened when she heard Killian speaking on the cellphone. Though she was unaware of the content of the
call, she didn’t believe that it was anything good. However, even though she was worried, she tried her best to
ignore the nervousness that was bubbling within her heart.
She turned to look at Selene, who smiled at her with a kind expression. The woman was completely neutral; even
though Killian told her that Inez could help her out with the detoxification of the poison of Iris, the woman didn’t
show any fluctuations in her mood.
Maybe it had something to do with her being let down too many times.
And in all honesty, Inez didn’t blher.
The Poison of Iris was not something that could be dealt with just with one’s desire alone.
This poison could be traced back to the eighteenth century and was created by a witch. Though no one knows
what kind of grudge the witch held against the shifters, she created a poison that was not only deadly but could
also kill a shifter by slowly corroding their internal organs.
What was even more dangerous was that no one could trace the poison when it was administered. Only when it
was too late was the poison detected; no wonder Killian was willing to take the risk of bringing her to his pack, all
in exchange for her treating his sister.
He must have run out of options.
Inez heaved a sigh and eased her nervous extremities before smiling at Selene. She said to her, "We will start
then?"
Selene calmly nodded at her as she lay back down on the bed and closed her eyes. When Inez saw her trust in
her, she couldn't help but feel a bit touched. After being stared at by nothing but distrust, Selene’s vulnerable
belief in her was like a breath of fresh air.
By the tInez finished, three hours had already passed. Selene had long fallen asleep, and her breathing had
evened out. Inez, on the other hand, looked extremely pale and weak. She had expected this to happen as she

And an unskilled one at that.
"How is it?" Killian had finished his call and was waiting for Inez to finish.
He frowned when the woman turned to look at him with an extremely washed-off pallor. He heard her say, "l am
still a novice when it comes to healing a person. | can handle normal poisons, but this is a highly concentrated
and dangerous one."
"So, you can't clear it?"
"Not for now," Inez was not dishonest. "I can continue to read more about the poison, and maybe one day | will
learn a skill strong enough to clear this poison. For the tbeing, | will be honest with you—I can only stabilise
her poison."
Killian stayed quiet for a while before nodding. "Alright, you do that. | will arrange for books that will help you
with your studies." Though he didn’t show it on his face, Killian was rather relieved when he heard that Inez
could stabilise his sister's poison.
What happened to Selene was not fair, and Killian had carried the blof not caring for and protecting his
sister all these years in his heart. Now that he had finally found a breakthrough, Killian felt the weight on his
shoulders ease a little.
Inez arched a brow when she heard the man’s response.
"What's wrong?" he glanced at her confused expression and asked.
She huffed and stated, "I thought you would askto get out of here."
"You did, didn’t you?" Killian arched a brow and remarked, "Well, what does this teach you?"
"That you are unpredictable, Alpha Sokolov?"
"No. That you shouldn't assthings about others," he deadpanned. He glanced at his sister, who was sleeping
peacefully for the first twithout showing any signs of having another attack, and said to Inez, "Cwith
me. | will bring you to your lodge."
Inez had nothing against that; she
was so tired that it was getting
difficult for her to even keep her eyes
open. Thus, when Rilién tured on

followed him without a word. As they

She liked it at one glance.
As she was walking past the many lodges, she noticed a cuddly golden retriever trotting over.

"Let’s go." Watching the siren play with Ruth was not in his plan. But even when they left the dog behind, he

The front of the lodge was covered with glazed glass, which would allow generous light to fill the space. And it
was separated from the rest of the lodges, which meant that no one was going to bother her every day.
It was just perfect.
"Is it good?" Killian asked even though he already knew the answer.
"It is fantastic." This was all she had ever wanted. A space that she could call her own, and this lodge was just
what she had always wanted.
