My fever advanced even further. I went to get a drip today, so please bear with ... I am really sorry if the Chapter is not as exciting as you all hoped.

I told you. You will regret it, his wolf chid in his head, causing Dominic to purse his lips in silence. He didn’t need his wolf to remind him of sothing that he could feel in his bones. Ignoring the sobbing woman beside him, he marched inside the ballroom. He needed sothing, anything, to distract him.
"Dom? Dom!" Eve called out when she saw Dominic walking away without paying any attention to her. However, the man never turned around, nor did he pay any attention to her. Seeing this, Eve bit her lower lip. Her eyes flashed with hatred and anger. She couldn’t understand why Dominic just wouldn’t look at her. What was she lacking when compared to Inez?
I cannot waste any more ti. The elders asked to win Dominic’s heart — they told that this is my last chance, thought Eve while suppressing the hatred that was surging in her heart. The elders of the pack didn’t wish for Inez to beco the luna of the pack, as she was not a pureblood shifter.
Eve raised her foot, but before she could take a step, she heard the sound of soone chuckling behind her. Startled, she turned to look behind. She thought that soone was making fun of her, but when she turned her head, Eve didn’t see anyone standing behind her. In fact, she was quite alone.
A chill climbed up her spine, and she yelped, "Dom! Wait for ." Goodness gracious, don’t tell her there were ghosts in this pack; that would be terrible.
As Eve hurried inside, the smoky tendril that was reaching her shin was pulled back, and a second later, it disappeared in the darkness of the night without anyone noticing anything.
This incident, however, had little impact on the party that was going on inside the ballroom and even if soone had noticed the smoky tendrils, maybe they would have ignored it, especially with Inez gliding down the floor. The gown that she was wearing was beautiful to begin with, but now that it was under the shimring lights, it was showing its full potential. As she walked past the many decorative mirrors, Inez noticed the many jewels glittering under the dim lighting, making the gown look even more mysteriously pretty than it usually did.
The reason Inez had chosen this gown was that Tracy had spoken to her. She never had any intention to suppress all other won in the ballroom. She stared at her reflection and muttered, "I ssed up."
"No, you didn’t," said Selene from the sidelines. With Laxus pushing her, she glanced around the room, her eyes shimring with a hint of pride when the other female shifters stared at her with confusion in their eyes. It was quite certain that they were prepared to mock her, but couldn’t because they couldn’t find any flaw with her this ti around.
Inez glanced at the won who were staring at her. They looked quite upset that she had snatched the attention that was ant for them. "I don’t think they agree with you."
"That–"
Selene began, but before she could speak, a woman walked over. She smiled at Selene and said to her, "Selene! It’s a pleasure to see you after such a long ti. I was wondering whether you will co tonight or not. I an, it has been months since the two of us t."
Inez glanced at Selene, who was smiling in a relaxed manner. She knew that whoever this woman was, even if she was not Selene’s friend, she was harmless. Realising that Selene would be fine, Inez turned on her feet and walked over to the small table that had a few starters placed on top of it.
She picked up a small cracker with a piece of bacon and ranch on top of it and was about to take a bite when a man walked over to where she was standing. "Hi there, beautiful?"
The second the man finished speaking, Inez, who had taken a bite of the snack, choked.
"Oh my, I am sorry," the man with golden eyes gasped as he reached out to pat her on the back. However, the second he reached out to touch her, a hand shot out and caught his wrist.
"Anything I can help you with, Cody?" Killian asked as he let go of Cody. Even though he was smiling, Inez could see that there was sothing really off about the way Killian was smiling at the man. Like he was silently promising him that he was going to tear off the hand of the man if he tried to step further than he should have.
Cody rubbed his wrist. He looked at Killian warily.
"It’s nothing; I just wanted to—"
He was still speaking when Killian reached out and curled his arm around Inez’s waist possessively. Cody followed his actions and turned pale; he took one look at Inez and her beautiful face with a longing look in his eyes; however, before he could say anything, Killian growled warningly and that sent the man packing.
Once the man was gone, Inez turned and looked at Killian with an impatient look on her face. "What? I don’t like it when soone looks at you like they want what’s mine."
Inez should have snapped at him and told him that she was not his or anyone’s possession. The thought of a man putting any sort of claim on her should have made her cringe, but sothing about Killian made her all pliant against him. It must be her ho phase. It had to be. There was no way she was getting used to the man throwing his possessiveness around.
"It seems like you have been busy today?" Inez asked as she picked up the glass of wine from the tray of the server who was walking past them.
"Did you miss —"
"Alpha Sokolov."
