Chapter 73: A Touch Of Concern
He tilted his head to one side and remarked. "Why are you so pissed off? Letguess— you are jealous?"
"No. But | am about to get really annoyed by your assumptions?"
Chuckling, he pulled away from her. "What did my dear Nyx tell you about Lyra?"
"That..." Inez paused, not understanding whether she should speak the truth or not. However, when she noticed
the knowing look in his eyes, Inez knew that there was no point in hiding the truth. The lycan could easily see
through her thoughts; if she lied, then he would not think twice before peeking into her thoughts.
As annoying as it was, Inez knew that there was nothing that she could do about it.
She decided to tell him the truth anyway; it was not she who would lose anything. "She toldthat you were
used to ... beating your ex-mate," relayed Inez, and Killian, who heard it, laughed as if he had heard skind of
joke.
Seeing him laugh, Inez couldn't help but frown. She questioned, "Why are you laughing? Is it not the truth?" Her
expression was filled with confusion as she looked at the man who was laughing as if he were amused by what
she said.
"Oh, no. It is indeed true. It’s as true as it could be." Though he said that, the second his emotions closed off,
Inez knew that there was more to the story than he was letting on. He said to her, "You should go on with your
work. Selene might not look like it, but she doesn’t like tardiness."
After he finished speaking, he turned to walk out of the lodge.
Inez watched him leave; however, just as Killian was about to walk out of the lodge, she reached out and caught
his wrist. The lycan paused and looked down at the small hand that was holding his own. He arched his brow and
asked, "And what is the meaning of this, bubbles? No matter how kinky | am... | am not going to go down and
dirty in the lodge that belonged to my sister. That will be really weird."
Hearing his words, Inez let go of his hand as if she had been whipped. She looked at the man with wariness in
her eyes and said to him, "I didn’t mean anything like that." Taking out the chocolate that she usually carried

said, "You should eat something sweet when you are upset."
When Killian heard her words, he burst into laughter. This was his first thearing someone say anything
concerning after hearing him confess to hitting his mate. Usually, they looked at him as if he were a monster
who had done something despicable without knowing the truth.
He expected the sreaction from Inez, which was why he turned around and left without taking a look at her
expression, but he never thought that she would actually hand him a piece of chocolate.
Taking the piece of chocolate from her, he raised it in the air and said, "Cheers, bubbles."
Inez smiled at his actions before hurrying upstairs to the bedroom where Selene was.
When she pushed open the door, she saw Selene staring out of the window. She was looking at the ocean, with
her eyes devoid of any emotions. Seeing her like this, Inez was startled. She couldn't help but hurry inside the
room as she said to her, "Miss Selene, is something the matter? Did something happen last night?"
She thought that it was because the woman had another attack, which made her react in such a manner.
Selene turned and looked at Inez with a smile. She shook her head and replied, "No. | slept like a baby last night.
| was just woolgathering and nothing else."
She then patted the side of her bed and asked Inez to cand sit down next to her. She said to her, "Did you
run into Kill? | hope that he didn’t give you a hard time. Though he might cout as someone who has little to
no substance, the truth is that he has a lot of substance within his heart."
Inez smiled. She didn’t want to break Selene’s heart by telling her that her brother only had substance when it
cto her; as for the rest, she couldn't be clear about it at the moment. Killian was the kind of man who hid
himself too deep. And Inez had no desire to dig him out of the shell.

"Then | will start with the treatment?" said Inez as she parted her lips and began singing a soft melody.
