Chapter 87: Inez’s Father
"Dom?" Blake tentatively called his alpha, who snapped his head up and questioned, "What?"
"Do we have to continue with the search?" Blake asked softly. "I mean, there is no point in looking for her
anymore. With what you have done, | don’t believe that Inez would ever accept you—"
A burst of alpha vibes caused Blake to stiffen in fear. He raised his head and looked at Dominic, who was looking
at him with a gaze so intense that it made Blake tremble in fright. He lowered his head, not daring to look at
Dominic anymore.
Tao cursed inwardly. He knew that this was going to happen; it was for this reason that he didn’t bring up the
indecent incident till now. He, too, had many questions that he wanted to ask. Why did Dominic hold back from
letting the bond break completely? Why did he keep Inez alive when he hated her for killing Abertha? And why
did he sleep with Eve if he didn’t want Inez to let go of him completely?
Or did he regret doing what he did to Inez?
There were questions, but there were no answers to these questions.
He stepped forward and diverted Dominic's attention. "Don’t worry too much," He said to Dominic. "I have traced
her scent around the city where the humans live. We will try to expand our area of search. | am certain that with
so many enforcers looking for her, Inez would still be able to hide herself."
"...Investigate Lyla," Dominic said after he was done listening to Tao’s explanation. "Try to find out about her and
where she is from."
Tao turned helpless upon hearing his command. He said, "Are you sure, Dom? Trying to investigate Killian’s
woman will not end well. Sokolov never begins a fight, but they never let any disrespect slide either; you know
that they are always the ones to end the fight."
"Do you think | fear him?" Dominic rumbled. His eyes flashing wolf as he straightened up in his seat.
"Of course not." Tao shook his head. He continued, "I am just giving you a warning, for | am worried that you are
jumping to conclusions. Even if that woman was a bit similar to Inez, her scent was not that of a shifter. She was
neither human nor a shifter, which is enough to prove that she is not Inez."

Bang!
Tao closed his eyes and went on bravely, "A substitute will remain a substitute. Who knows? Maybe she was
trained to act like Inez by someone?"
Dominic's lips moved, but no noise cout. He knew that Tao was correct.
That woman could never be his Inez because she would have never given him the cold shoulder; she loved him
way too much.
He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead with a hint of annoyance. "Just investigate her."
"Alright, if that is what you want." Tao lowered his head and conceded with a sigh. He knew that he was fighting
a losing battle.
"You can leave," Dominic said to his enforcers. "I want to be alone."
Tao nodded and left with the two men without offering more words of comfort to Dominic, for they knew that the
man would not listen to them.
"Why did you bring up Eve?" Tao asked Blake while looking at the man who was silently walking next to him.
"I simply asked a normal question," Blake responded. Tapping on his phone’s screen, he continued, "Do you even
know how many enforcers were pulled off their usual positions and tasks because of this matter?"
"If I had known that she was speaking the truth, | would have stopped her back then," Luca whispered, and both
Tao and Blake turned to look at the man.
Tao blinked his eyes and questioned, "You knew? You actually knew that she was going to run away?"

Luca ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. For the first time, he felt like he had been played like a fool.
The truth was right in front of him, and yet he couldn't see it clearly.

Though he said those words, he too was determined to hunt down Inez.
Tao glanced at Luca, who was gritting his teeth. As he knew what Luca felt for Inez, he knew that this matter was
far from being closed.
"Achoo!"
Inez sneezed as she headed down to the kitchen. Once she returned to the pack, she went back to her lodge and
cleaned up. However, ever since her return, she had felt a bit sick, and she knew why this was happening to her.
"I guess it has been a month," Inez muttered as she raised her hand and rubbed her nose. She raised her head
and looked at the window that was overlooking the ocean, and wondered if she would find any coral wisps
growing next to the shore.
Though those plants were often
treated as weeds by the shifter
community, they were quite handy

were times when she craved the

It was because of this desire of hers that her mother often called her a monster.
