Chapter 89

Ally stiffened. She turned to look at Killian, who stood behind the two of them.

"Kill! Look at what she is doing," Ally whimpered while looking at the lycan. She hoped that the man would come to her help and stop Inez from hurting her any further.

Killian walked over to where the two women were standing. He glanced at Inez, who was holding the woman by her neck and said to her in a low voice, "Will you mind letting her go?"

"Not at all." Inez dropped the woman as she flung her away from herself. "I can only feel sorry for her."

Ally scrambled to her feet and then tried to pounce on Killian, only for the man to step away from her and dodge to one side. However, Ally s momentum was way too intense, and she couldn t stop herself from hurtling down to the ground.

"Kill!" Ally shrieked as she pushed herself off the ground and turned to look at the man who stood behind her. "Did you see what she did to me!?"

"God, do you have to be so loud?" remarked Killin, his face slightly scrunched as if listening to Ally s screams physically hurt him. noveldrama

On the other hand, Ally didn t seem to feel any embarrassment. She jumped back to her feet and rushed to hold Killian s arm. Like a whining child, she swung by his arm and complained with a pout, "Kill, just look at her. She attacked me; if you hadn t come here, then she would have killed me."

"And what a relief it would have been," Killian commented loud enough for Ally to hear.

"Kill!"

"Alright, enough," Killian snapped. He pulled his hand away from Ally and said, "I heard most of the conversation between the two of you, and I know one thing for sure, Ally. Inez was not wrong in attacking you."

Ally s mouth dropped open, and even Inez was stunned when she heard the man s response. She thought that he would certainly blame her, but the man seemed much more reasonable than she had expected.

"How how can you support her?" Ally adopted a heartbroken voice, which was no worse than her yelling. "No matter how much you like her skills in bed, do you really have to embarrass your packmate like this? Have you forgotten the good memories that we shared, Kill?"

Killian continued while ignoring her sobbing, "Inez s attack was justified."

"How!?"

"Because," Killian tilted his head to one side and smiled, "Because she supported and respected the orders of her alpha. I remember telling you and the rest of the pack that they are supposed to treat Inez with the due respect that you need to show a packmate. Why is it that when it comes to you, you seem to have forgotten what I said to you?"

He paused before adding, "Or do you think that my words are not damned to be listened to and acted on?"

Ally s face was set ablaze due to the embarrassment that she was feeling at the moment. She stammered, "But she...she is somewhere she shouldn t be? What if she is here to spy on something?"

"And she would spy on what? The prisoners who are waiting for their deaths?" Killian offered with a raise of his brow. "Ally, I will not accept another round of disrespect from you. When I say something, you are supposed to listen to me; you are not supposed to pretend that you have heard what I say and then contradict me the next second."

"I understand, alpha," Ally bowed her head and agreed. But as she walked past Killian, she turned and glared at Inez. Her glare meant retaliation and this was something Inez knew all too well.

Once she was gone, Killian turned to look at Inez and remarked, "Should I be surprised that you have made your first enemy?"

"You shouldn t."

"Have you forgotten what I told you, bubbles?" Killian asked with a long-suffering sigh. "Ally might be dumb, but she s still a lycan. Getting her on the bad side won t do you any good."

"So you want me to lower my head and let that woman bully me?" Inez asked with her fingers clenched tightly into fists. "I have had enough of it in my old pack. I am not going to live like that here, too."

"I never said that." Killian s black eyes stared at her in curiosity as if he was already wondering what had happened to her in the previous pack, which made her so resentful. "I am just telling you to be careful. If you cannot avoid a fight, then you can let me know; I will help you."

Inez narrowed her eyes. "I don t need you to protect me."

"Of course you don t," Killian agreed; however, his lips were curled up in a smirk as if she had told him a joke that he found amusing. "By the way, Ally is not wrong. What are you doing here? Little Red Riding Hood lost her way in the woods?"

Inez tried not to show any emotion on her face. She had no idea whether the man whom she saw just now was her father or not. Thus, she could only nod and agree with what Killian said to her, "You are right. I came out on a walk but ended up coming down this winding path. I had no idea that it was not allowed to come here. If I had, then I would have never come here."

Killian found her words amusing. He snickered and said to her, "Do you know what lycans are excellent at?"

"Theft?" Inez responded with a frown.

"Lies," Killian corrected her. "Not only can lycans lie with their eyes closed and get away with it, as we are known for pulling tricks on others, but we can also catch a lie no matter how perfectly it was spoken."

He took a step towards Inez and lowered his upper body such that he could whisper in her right ear, "Now "
