Chapter 249

"Dominic!" Evelyn cried out. Her voice was filled with disbelief as she couldn t believe what the man had promised Killian. Punished? How was he going to get her punished, of all people C her? She turned her attention to the man and said to him, "I didn t mean it. I truly didn t I was just..."

"Acting as a jealous, psychotic ex-girlfriend?" offered Selene. When everyone turned to look at her, she shrugged carelessly and added, "What? I am not wrong. I mean, she did something awful just because she was jealous."

"I didn t! I didn t do it because I was jealous. I swear I didn t something, something just came over me and I sort of did it, but I swear I would never risk a pack war over my jealousy," Evelyn insisted. Her eyes were swimming with tears as she tried to explain what had happened to her, but unfortunately, she couldn t even remember what had happened.

She knew that something had happened because Evelyn didn t have the guts to go ahead and hurt the woman of an alpha. Especially when that said alpha was Killian Sokolov. But her memories were fuzzy, and she couldn t recall anything. It was scary enough that she had done what she wanted to do but never wanted to act on it, but what was more terrifying was that she didn t even remember why she had done it.

"Then, how do you explain the surveillance recording?" Killian pressed. When the woman couldn t explain shit to him, he lost his patience with her. Raising his head, he looked at Dominic before stating, "I don t know about you, but if I were you, I would have locked this woman up. Not only had she chased your mate away, but now she is even putting your entire pack in danger. Be very glad, Alpha Cherith, that I am not starting a war even though this woman had done her best to disrespect me."

After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Laxus, who nodded and stepped forward. "Let s go, Alpha Cherith. I will take you to the parking lot."

Dominic s expression stiffened. Though Laxus had spoken in a truly polite voice, the truth remained that they were kicking him out of the territory. The outcome was not the worst that he had imagined, but it still left a sour taste in his mouth. He pursed his lips and huffed without saying a word that he wished to deliver.

Glancing at Evelyn, who was the cause of everything, he spun on his heel and headed out of the office.

"Dominic!" Evelyn s heart went wrought with worries when she saw the man stepping outside without even looking at her. She had a feeling that whatever happened tonight was definitely going to change everything for her.

The two of them rushed out of the office without speaking another word, and Killian didn t stop them. He had no intention to speak to Evelyn because she didn t seem to have even a single answer to his question.

"She was speaking the truth," Tracy finally spoke from the side, and Killian whipped his head to look at her. He moved his neck so fast that it nearly snapped.

"What did you say?" Killian asked. A frown settled between his brows as he stared at the witch. Confusion marred his eyes, for he couldn t believe what he was hearing. What did she mean by that C Evelyn was speaking the truth.

Tracy rolled her eyes at him as if he were the one who had spoken the wrong thing when she was the one who was speaking like she was trying to solve an ancient riddle.

"I mean to say that she was hoodwinked into doing what she did," Tracy explained, and Killian thanked the Night Goddess. At least this woman explained something. "I smelled the magic over her. However, the woman is a shifter through and through. She cannot perform any sort of magic. So it could only mean that she was hoodwinked and the lingering magic is still clinging onto her."

A frown and then, "Dark magic often does that." noveldrama

"Then why did you not speak till now?"

"That girl obviously has something against Inez. The spell wouldn t have worked if she hadn t meant it, but she truly did wish for Inez to disappear. I think that alone is enough for me to ignore those little remnants of magic." The witch sounded bored, but Killian could see the amusement in her eyes.

"Tracy, what are you doing here?" Selene, who had not the slightest bit of an idea about what was going on, raised her head in Tracy s direction and questioned, "Why are you here?"

"She was the one who saved Inez."

"How can a human save Inez from a witch?"

"Because she is not a human," Killian sighed. He walked around the large table and sat down in the chair. "She is a witch."

He noticed the exact moment when the knowledge hit home; Selene paused and then turned to look at Tracy. Her eyes went wide, for she couldn t believe what she had heard was the truth. "You are a witch?" Her seamstress was a witch? What next? Her brother was the clown who lured children into an underground sewage.

"I am." Tracy sat down on the couch, unbothered by the uncomfortable gazes that his enforcers had sent her way. Finally, a normal reaction. Better than Finn s, who was staring at her as if he were staring at the key to fulfilling all his deepest, darkest desires.

She glanced around the room and turned to look at Killian before questioning, "But why are we here? I thought you were going to see Inez."

"I am in a moment." Killian interlocked his fingers. With his eyes fixated on Tracy, he added, "But before that, I need to make sure what to make of you. Just what are you trying to do?" he asked, just like he had asked this question countless times already.

Tracy raised a brow. Her eyes were still alight with amusement as she said to him, "I think I already told you the truth, pup. I am here to help Inez. She needs me."
