Chapter 352: Madness

Inez felt a familiar discomfort in her throat while sitting on the ground.

She could feel her siren stirring harder within her, wanting to rush to the aid of her mate. On noticing the scales on her arms, she hurriedly covered them with the fabric of her clothes. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Gilderoy stared at Killian. He slowly turned to look at the woman behind him, who was staring up at Killian as if he were her knight in shining armour. Suddenly, everything clicked into place, and the guard’s smile turned a bit stiff. "Are you talking about this woman?"

"Do I look like I am talking to you?" questioned Killian, his voice dripping with lethal calm. "Even if you are a fool with a clogged nose as sharp as that of a little boy, you could have smelled the scent on her, right? Whose scent do you think covers her?"

Gilderoy seemed so small now, oppressed under the weight of the lycan heir’s dominance. He was nearly prostrating, as feeble as her and Scarlet, with the restraints tied around their wrists, as if he were not a half-blood vampire at all. "There was...there was indeed a scent, Alpha Sokolov."

"And?"

"I don’t think it belongs to anyone special." The words came out in a splutter, as if speaking was causing Gilderoy physical pain. Maybe they were causing him pain. However, clearly, he didn’t seem to understand the situation he was in at the moment. "But Alpha Sokolov, this woman is the culprit who killed Alpha Remy’s mate."

A laugh cut through the silent clearing. It was not a pleasant sound, and Inez could only wince as she realised how pissed Killian was; it nearly made her soul baulk at the tone.

"Fascinating." Killian stepped forward, and Inez could finally see his face again. It was closed off now, so cold and distant, as if he were a block of ice. Cold and detached—like speaking to the dead instead of living, breathing people. Every word that he spoke was punctuated with a step toward Gilderoy. "The mighty guards of the council are so fucking incompetent that they couldn’t even distinguish between the scent of an ordinary wolf and the alpha of the lycans. The heir of the royal blood. Not only that, you even captured my mate, trying to force a crime on her head, that she hadn’t even committed? You are either really foolish or really daring; there is no one in between."

"Perhaps, we should rediscuss the education and training of the guards here. Clearly, my man, your nose...it needs some retraining..." His blood-covered shoes came to a stop in front of the man, the one who had tried to break her arm just a few seconds ago. "Or did you simply choose to ignore the scent that was lingering over her because it was easier to blame her rather than dig through the pile of evidence in front of you?"

"Worse..." He glanced at Inez, whose clothes were in tatters, and his beast rushed to his surface, a rabid growl erupting through his lips. "You tried to touch what was mine. Never thought that there would be a day that a man would be stupid enough to try my bottom line by touching my mate."
