Chapter 106: Confrontation
Inez woke up with a jolt when she heard the continuous ringing of the doorbell. With a frown, she raised her head
and looked around the room, her gaze drifting over to the sky that was still dark, and the furrow between her
brows turned even deeper. She wanted to sleep a bit longer, and the sudden and annoying ringing of the
doorbell had changed all her plans.
So it was not a surprise that she was not in the greatest mood when she woke up.
She jumped off the bed and then climbed down the stairs before crossing the main hall of the lodge and opening
the door. "What!?" She demanded sourly while looking at the man who was ringing her doorbell as if his life
depended on it. "What do you think you are doing by ringing my doorbell at this blazing hour?"
"It seems like you are not a morning person," Ajax remarked with a chuckle as if the entire thing amused him.
It might be amusing to him, but it was not to her. She narrowed her eyes and questioned, "Just what do you think
you are doing here?"
The man crossed his arms in front and stated, "It’s nothing much. It’s just that Ally has accused you of sending a
mamba into her lodge."
Inez’s eyes flashed when she heard his response. Though she had expected this, Inez still felt slightly annoyed.
The two of them had only bickered a few times, and yet that woman wanted her life.
‘I hope that she was bitten,” Inez thought scathingly. However, she didn’t voice out her thoughts and questioned,
"And why would she accuse me? | was not even in the pack, and even if | was, | am still learning about the layout
of the pack’s territory. How am | supposed to find a mamba and even send it to her lodge?"
Ajax lifted one shoulder. He admitted that Inez did have a solid alibi, but Ally was adamant and wanted to
confront her. To avoid another tantrum, Edira asked Killian to let the two women sort it out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat was worse was Ally being supported by Fenric and Morrineth. The two of them were supporting her and
kept pushing Killian to bring Inez to Ally’s lodge, saying that Inez needed to clear the charge before she could
continue living in their territory.
It was a serious accusation, and there was nothing that they could do to protect Inez, not without sending out
the message that Killian didn’t care about the life and death of his packmates in the face of the beauty of this
new pack member.
An alpha led by his nose, all because his mind was flooded with lust, was not the leader that the pack members
wanted.
"You should still head down," said Ajax. "This is a serious accusation and requires your presence for you to clear
your charges."
"Charges?" Inez scoffed with an eye roll. "That woman woke up suddenly and started yelling that | sent a mamba
to her lodge when | was out of the pack for the entire evening, as you already know. What defence? It is clearly a
ridiculous claim to smear my reputation and nin front of the packmates."
"She doesn’t like me, and this is clear from the very day | cto this pack." Inez pointed out.
"I do understand and believe me, neither Killian nor any of us thinks that you did it." Ajax raised his hand in the
air because he knew that the accusation was too serious and it had put Inez in a rather defensive and offensive
position. He didn’t blher for lashing out at him.
Inez didn’t quarrel with him. She knew that Ajax was only doing the formalities. In the end, she was an outsider
while Ally was their pack member. She had never had any hope from Killian or the rest to treat her as one of their
own; thus, Inez didn’t feel bothered by their actions.
It would have hurt if she had held skind of hope towards them, but she didn't.
"Let’s go." Inez let out a sigh and asked Ajax to step aside such that she could step out of the lodge.
Ajax raised one of his brows, but he still stepped to one side. Inez walked out to her porch, where she turned and
locked the door behind her. Her actions were calm and not the least bit hysterical, which made Ajax frown, and
he questioned, "Aren't you upset?"

The rumours that were circulating outside weren't pretty, and it made Inez look bad.
Rubbing the back of his nape, he muttered uncomfortably, "Fuck. Why does it look like we fucked up bad?"
Inez didn’t care about his musings. She continued to head down the cobblestone path that was embedded with
seashells and soon arrived at the lodge where everyone was waiting for her, Ajax following after her.
