Chapter 68

"Oh, so you mean to say that this is my fault now?" Nyx questioned the submissive wolf, looking at the wolf who was nowhere close to her status; she felt a surge of anger in her heart. How dare this man say that she was the one at fault?

She said to him, "If you couldn t carry so many dishes at once, then you shouldn t have done it! How could it be my fault? Do you even know the price of this dress that I am wearing? You can t even afford it even if you save every penny of your salary!"

"Please forgive me," said the man. He beseeched her on his knees as he reached out to hold her skirt, only for Nyx to pull it away from his hands. She snapped, "I have enough filth on my clothes without you touching me!"

Nyx was about to say something more, but then she heard the sound of footsteps and raised her head just in time to see Inez, who was looking at the sight in front of her with a confused look on her face.

"Good morning, Inez." Nyx smiled at her, even though she was a mess.

Inez looked at the remnants of food that were sticking to her clothes and nodded at her before greeting her back, "Good morning, Nyx."

Her eyes turned to look at the submissive wolf, who looked like he was about to cry.

She was about to ask what was going on, but before she could say anything else, she heard Nyx say, "I am glad that you are feeling good enough to come out of your lodge. I thought you were going to lock yourself up in the lodge for a few more days. It s good to see you." noveldrama

Inez turned to look at the woman with confusion in her eyes. She doubtfully asked, "Why would you think that?"

"Because you spoke in favour of that witch," replied Nyx, her chin tilting up slightly as she reminded Inez of what she had done a few days ago. Hearing her response, Inez s face turned slightly pale. Even though she had meant no harm, it could cause her a lot of trouble. She wondered if the pack members would start doubting her, just as the mate of the witch who was now locked up in his lodge.

Nyx smiled at her. "Don t worry, Inez. Everyone has forgotten about that incident, as many days have passed. No one will talk about it anymore. So you don t have to worry about others doubting you."

And yet this woman was bringing up the matter that was supposed to have already passed. Inez pursed her lips and didn t say anything.

She could only glance at the submissive wolf and then turn to look at the woman who was still smiling. "Then I am glad that I don t need to worry about being targeted " Fenric snorted as he turned around on his feet and headed inside the main lodge. "Anymore than I usually am," she added loud enough for the man to hear.

Fenric paused and glared at her before turning to stride right into the lodge.

Nyx, on the other hand, turned to look at Inez with a sweet smile on her lips. She reached out and held Inez by her arm before saying to her, "What brought you here? I hope you are here to have breakfast. I missed your presence in the dining area. If you hadn t come today, then I would have come to your lodge. You are such a doll to get along with." She praised Inez.

But that only made Inez more awkward, as she was not used to being praised, and yet something about Nyx s praises made her feel a bit thrown off. Unlike Killian, who made the butterflies in her stomach flutter, Nyx made the butterflies in her stomach curl up.

"I am not here to eat," Inez explained. "Killian I mean, Alpha Sokolov asked me to come here."

She received a message from Killian earlier in the morning in which he asked her to come to the main lodge; if not, she would have stayed in her lodge. She didn t like the idea of being glared at first thing in the morning. However, this was a command given to her by the alpha.

No matter how much she would have loved to go against Killian, Inez knew better than to question the authority of the alpha of the pack.

When Nyx heard that it was Killian who called Inez, her eyes flickered and her smile hooked downwards for just a few seconds before she hitched it right back. She then said to Inez, "Oh, you received that message too? It seems like Kill has taken you as a member of the pack. This is good; usually, he takes a lot of time to warm up to new members. You have no idea how many wolves, lycans and other shifters want to get in our pack, but he never lets them join."

"You must have some special skills as a healer for Kill to pay so much attention to you?" Nyx asked curiously as she stared up at Inez, who was taller than she was.

"I am just your normal healer, Nyx," replied Inez while trying to calm down her thumping heart. She couldn t let the woman notice that there was something wrong with her expression or that she was lying. Fortunately, her grandmother had taught her to keep her heart calm in times of danger.

Thus, Nyx didn t notice anything even with her shifter senses.

When she didn t hear the answer that she wanted, Nyx was a bit disappointed, but she didn t show anything on her face. She could only say, "Is that so? I wonder what made Kill accept you then?"

After speaking, she paused and exclaimed, "Don t get me wrong. It s not like I am saying that you have nothing to offer. I just think it s a bit weird and, well... I am a curious person."

Inez smiled without saying anything.

"I can t get into the website."
