Chapter 56: Need To Be Careful (3)
Inez frowned when she heard his response. She couldn’t understand what the lycan meant by asking such weird
questions.
She turned around and was about to leave, but then Inez suddenly paused.
"What is it?" Killian asked as he noticed the actions of the siren. "Is there something that you want to say to
me?"
"Um, there is indeed something that | wanted to ask. Of course, if it's alright," Inez added, her eyes staring into
the grey eyes of the lycan. She noted how his eyes were much more lively than his expressions.
"What do you want to ask?" Killian asked, rubbing the back of his knuckles.
"Who is Lyra?" questioned Inez, and she noticed how the man stiffened as soon as she questioned about the
woman. "It is not that | want to poke into your business, but is she someone | need to watch out for?"
All of a sudden, the air around them got filled with hostility. A glint of annoyance flashed in Killian's eyes. He
said, "You don’t need to worry about her." The look in his eyes turned cold as he continued, "Because she is
dead."
Inez’s eyebrows furrowed as she watched the man leave. For sreason, the look in his eyes unnerved her.
However, Inez didn’t get the chance to brood over it, as she was called to Selene’s lodge by Laxus.
"Are you willing to talk now?" Blake looked at Scarlet. It physically hurt him to see her hanging by the chains and
starving, but the woman's will was made of sheer steel. Even after getting tormented to this point, Scarlet didn’t
say a word about Inez.
"Fuck you," Scarlet spat at his face and Blake dodged it like every other time.
He sighed and said to her, "This is getting tiresome, Scarlet."
"And yet here we are," Scarlet rolled her eyes. Even though she had been whipped, stabbed and burned by
candles and needles, she was still tough as ever, and Blake could respect that.
He said to her, "Inez is not worth your loyalty."

and that arsehole."
"Scarlet," Blake warned her in a cold voice.
In response, Scarlet narrowed her eyes and snapped, "Don’t you ‘Scarlet’ me, Blake. You know my sister. She is
the one who saved us when we were kids. | don’t care if you have forgotten everything that she has done for
you, but | can never forget the things she did for me. She raisedwhen my own mother leftto my own
devices. You can say anything, but | will not listen to you."
"You don’t know what she has done —"
"And you do?" Scarlet sneered. "Honestly, Blake, if you had any evidence, you would have brought it out ages
ago. And even if you did have any evidence, | don’t care. Because | trust Nessie."
Blake wondered what kind of potion Inez had given to Scarlet. The woman was acting deaf and unbothered, even
though he continued to insist that Inez was not what she thought she was.
"You will soon realise that you trusted the wrong person." Blake turned on his heel and headed out of the
dungeon. Even though his heart ached at the thought of leaving Scarlet in the cell, he knew that it was important
for the woman to understand the truth.
Thus, even though his wolf kept pressing against his surface while asking him to go back and bring her out,
Blake willed his feet to walk to the office where Dominic was waiting for him.
"Did she say where Inez went?" Just like every other time, Dominic asked the squestion the second he
stepped into the office. It had been less than a day since Inez went missing, and his alpha, well, he seemed to
have gone crazy with the sudden disappearance of his ex-mate.
It made Blake wonder why Dominic even tried to push Inez to this point.
"No, and honestly, Dom... | don’t think that she will tell the truth," said Blake. "You know that the two of them
had the strongest bond when they were kids; even if you push Scarlet, she would never say a word about Inez."
Dominic knew that. In fact, he was not even hopeful when he caught and dragged Scarlet into the dungeon.
Inez’s absence shouldn’t bother him so much, but it did. To the point that he couldn't sit still anymore.
Everything and anything annoyed him and to make things worse, his wolf was being an absolute arsehole to him.
He was furious at Dominic for letting their mate slip past their grasp, even though she was right in front of them.
Like he wanted such a thing to happen.
"What about the rest of the packs?" Dominic asked.

He raised his head while tapping on the surface of the table. He said to Tao, "Did you ask Mrs Sinclair about Inez?
Did she go to her grandmother's pack?"
"I did," Tao answered. "But from what Mrs Sinclair told me, it doesn’t seem like Inez went to the Collington pack."
