"I don’t know who told you that I would love to hear your whiny little opinions. But the truth is that the level of fuck I am giving to you at the mont cannot be any lower," said Inez with a sigh. She hoped that Evelyn would understand how tired and exasperated she was with her antics but this woman always had a screw loose when it ca to Dominic.
"You think you can talk to like that just because you have hooked up with Alpha Sokolov? I am telling you that you need to lower down on that arrogance of yours, sweetie." Evelyn flicked her hair behind her and continued, "You might believe that you can charm just about any alpha, but the truth is that you cannot. Dom just sees you as the substitute of his runaway mate. The one who broke his heart and is probably shacked up with soone else. But that doesn’t an that you have the chance to step between us. The two of us are solid."
Inez rolled her eyes to the sky. She had a bunch of things she would have loved to hurl at Evelyn but she knew that there was no point in talking sense with Evelyn. The girl was simply allergic to sense.
And talking about arrogance? Inez couldn’t believe that such words were coming out of Evelyn’s mouth.
"Then what are you scared of?" said Bree, wondering what had happened at the Venus pack for Evelyn to go cuckoo like this. She had always been unhinged in a way, but now she was simply out of her mind. Possibly, she was told that she needed to get Dominic’s mark or get out of the way for soone else; the elders of the Venus pack could be brutal at tis.
Inez was quite glad that Killian didn’t have those old fools trying to muddle the pack and its policies.
She tilted her head to one side and crossed her arms in front before saying to Bree, "If you are solid, then there is nothing that you need to fear because your ’Dom’", she quoted with her fingers. "Will never get attracted to . Not like I am attracted to him either; in fact, I will be quite happy if you keep him away from . That will be so helpful."
Evelyn’s face reddened. "Do you think I don’t understand won like you? You might be saying these words but the truth is that you are attracted to him; I can see the way you are trying to hook him up. I saw it; I saw how you were eyeing him the last ti."
Really, this again?
Inez let her gaze briefly flick up. Heaven, you have to help .
"You an to say when I was glaring at him for bothering ?"
The bitch moved forward as if she were about to slap the shit out of her and Inez caught her hand just in ti.
"Back the fuck off," she warned Evelyn. Her voice was filled with danger and nace.
The female swallowed. "You cannot hurt ."
"Yes, I can. This is not your territory, and even if I did hurt you, my alpha will protect . And no one will be there to defend you because you are acting like a fool," Inez bit out. "You ca up to and cornered like you wanted to attack and then let your blind possessiveness and jealousy run rampant. You cannot just barge in here and slap in my own territory. Even if others get to know about this incident, your alpha will be the one to apologise for your actions."
Inez then pushed the woman away from her.
Evelyn started rubbing her arm, all the while glaring at Inez. "No one will accept you at the Venus pack. They didn’t accept his true mate because she was weak and no one will accept you either."
Though Inez did feel a subtle pang in her heart, that was all she felt. Maybe now that she had a ho with Killian, she no longer cared about what the Venus pack or her mother thought about her. They can all go to hell as far as she was aware.
"I am glad to hear about the power dynamics and lack of freedom and respect that goes on in your pack but once again, I have no intention of going there," said Inez.
"I don’t believe you," Evelyn spat.
Conscious that the woman was losing control of herself, Inez lifted one shoulder. "I doubt that would change the course of mt life but you do you. Wohhoo." She raised one hand in the air and cheered for Evelyn.
But just as Inez turned around to walk away, Evelyn caught her by the wrist and eyed her carefully. "You—are you really not Inez? You speak and act just like her."
"I am not," said Inez a bit too quickly. She didn’t realise that Evelyn had been paying attention to her in the past to the point where she knew how she talked or how she behaved. It was weird knowing that her enemy was paying attention to her. "And even if I were, how would it matter? Like you said, your pack will never accept her, right? So, why bother?"
"Oh, it matters," said Evelyn, looking at her with a glint in her eyes, which made Inez frown. She stepped back as the woman stepped forward. "Because I tell you one thing, Lyla. Dominic had always been really, really awful at sharing things. Even when he was a child, if you are what I think you are—then I think you will understand what I am trying to say. Even if Dominic had refused to claim you, he would never let anyone else have you."
Her eyes flicked to the mark on Inez’s neck and she added, "And if you imprint on soone, you will be signing their death warrants."
"Okay, you are done." ignoring the way Evelyn’s voice fell over her body like a scratchy blanket that rubbed her in all the wrong ways, Inez turned to walk away but just as she had taken a step, the woman behind her rushed forward and pushed her off the balcony.
