Chapter 211

"Of course not. Why would I? You didn t even do anything," said Inez. She turned her head slightly to the left and looked at him with a raised eyebrow before saying to him, "It wasn t like you were flirting with her. She was the one who was trying to flirt with you."

When Killian heard her response, he was quite surprised, and his eyes widened slightly. Because in the past, even though he had never been serious about the women he was seeing before, they still found it quite disrespectful when another woman started to flirt with him. Sure, he liked the attention, but he wasn t cheap enough to flirt with another woman when he was on a date and yet the women would often snap at him as if he was the one flirting.

Because of this very reason, Killian often thought that it was unfair. After all, why would they take their anger out on him when he clearly didn t flirt with anyone when with them? The fact that Inez hadn t taken her anger out on him unreasonably pleased him.

"Of course, if you had flirted back then, I would have loved to let my siren scratch that handsome face of yours. I wouldn t have even stopped her."

That made him smile. "Feisty." He skimmed the pad of his thumb over the back of her hand before asking, "Now what were you thinking other than doing a pretty makeover on my face?"

"Nothing. Just a little bit of this and that..."

"What exactly is this little bit?"

Persistent arsehole. Fine, since he wanted to get in her head so much. "Like... just how far do the things between us even go? What happens when things just become boring, and what we have fizzles out? And how am I supposed to walk away without ripping your throat out telling me to leave once we have had our fun?" He turned quiet. Seeing this, Inez shrugged and said to him, "I didn t mean to say these things, but you asked and so I told you."

Leaning toward her, he raised his hand and cupped her cheek. "I think I didn t make one thing clear with you." His chest rumbled as he spoke. "As far as I am concerned, you are mine. I marked you, and that mark is not just a mark; it s a claim that I made on you. I never do such things lightly. Nor have I done it before. There will be no walking out, and you will not be going anywhere. And if someone does try to take you away from me, then they better be stronger than me, Bubbles, because I am going to kill them if they try to snatch you away from me."

When she gaped at him, he smirked and closed her mouth shut before saying, "I didn t mean to say these things, but you asked, so I told you."

Inez swallowed hard; she never thought that when the man marked her, he was determined to keep her with him. She shook her head, trying to get rid of the vehemence in his tone. She said to him, "I should have known better than this."

"Hmmm?" Killian raised his head and took a nip at the shell of her ear before asking in a low voice, "What do you mean by that?"

"I should have thought twice before getting involved with you. I knew that lycans were simply irrational, but I never thought that you were irrational to this point."

"Now you are being hypocritical. Were you not about to kill the woman who was getting all flirty with me? Why is it irrational that I want to kill any man getting close to you?"

Inez snorted. "I will never kill a woman for something so small."

"Don t lie. I could practically smell your murderous intent just now. I am half willing to bet that if the woman had stayed any longer, then you would have lunged for her throat. And your siren? She would have loved to play with the woman before giving her a slow, painful death." noveldrama

She glanced at the man before shaking her head. "You are simply insane." Though he was right, Inez knew she would have been much kinder than he was talking about.

However, her thoughts quickly changed when the flight attendant returned with a smile on her lips.

Inez hadn t been positive that it was possible, but she somehow managed to get down the private jet without ripping the flight attendant a new one. That woman didn t stop flirting until the end of their flight. By the time it stopped, Inez had thought of more than seven ways to make the woman disappear without letting anyone find her ever again.

She climbed down with the rest of the pack and headed to the rented SUV across the street, where the house was. The very same one where the witches were supposed to be at the moment. She turned her head left and right before taking in the surroundings of the house. A decent garden and an expensive car, along with a fountain and garden gnomes.

The house looked pleasant, and one look at it was enough to let her know that this place was way too expensive for the witches to rent. They could have gotten a place which was way cheaper than this one.

"No one s home," said Ajax as he eyed the house in front of them. They had been keeping an eye on the house for a while, but they didn t see anyone moving inside the house.

"Best to be sure," remarked Killian. He was drawing circles on Inez s wrist while eyeing the house in front of them. "There is a possibility that they are in the basement or the backyard. Levi, go and take a look."

"Should we get out and move around the locality?" suggested Inez as she noticed a human woman looking at them through the only window that was open. "I don t think that we are doing a good job in staying inconspicuous."
