CHAPTER 139: A SIREN’S RAGE (2)

Inez laughed. She said to him, "Is this because of what I did? Are you taking revenge on me by getting on my nerves because I covered you with pig blood?"

"No," he shook his head and stated in a calm voice, "You will pay for that little prank, bubbles, but not now. I am a lot of things, but I will never make use of someone’s vulnerabilities against them."

And that’s what made him different from Dominic in many ways, thought Inez with a hint of admiration in her eyes. However, she didn’t have the time to appreciate his kindness. She sucked in a breath and turned her head to one side. She said to him, "That’s very noble of you, but you need to go."

"Why?"

Her siren side lunged to her surface when that slow, languid drawl unintentionally seduced her. Before she could stop herself, the truth had left her lips, "Because you are forgetting that I am a siren! Do you even know what kind of rage a siren would feel when they are angry?"

At first, Killian was stunned by her outburst, but then he realised what she was saying and suddenly his eyes darkened. The air slowly started to charge with sexual tension that had always lingered around the two of them. It had never crossed the line, but it had been there, subtly reminding them of the attraction that they had been refusing to see.

"You should know this. There is a reason why sirens are used and treated as slaves. Why are they kept downtrodden and furious?" she continued. "That’s because the more heightened their emotions were, the more their desires surged. The driving force for a siren’s lust is their anger. That’s weird as fuck and I know that many look down on us because of this. Because we use others as if they are our slaves."

"I don’t want to use you like that, so you better go." Or she would really use him like the other women had used him. She had seen and understood Killian enough to know that the man was a good person. He had given her a place to stay, even though Dominic had passed out the order that no one was allowed to give her a place to stay.

He was a true protector who cared for his pack and family.

He wasn’t as vain and arrogant as she had thought. He had much more emotional depth, even if he didn’t show it. He was ... a kind man.

And what was even more tormenting was —

"Don’t look at me like that," said Inez as she stepped away from the man. Her siren purred within her as she felt satisfied with the hungry look that Killian was giving them. That sensual gaze soothed the burn and pain that they had received at the hands of Dominic.

Killian smiled at her. "I didn’t even say anything."

As he spoke, he moved toward her, and she immediately stepped away from him. Her eyes flickered as she could feel her body heat up. Every time he took a step, she would backpedal.

Seeing this, Killian stopped, as he didn’t like the sight of her stepping away from him. And so the two of them stood where they were with the raw and intense sexual energy pulsating in the air.

"Just leave me alone." She couldn’t stay close to him, not when her body was reacting in a manner which Inez didn’t have the slightest control over.

But the man stayed put. He stayed still, with his steel-grey eyes staring at her. Once in a while, his eyes would turn an electric blue, as his beast lunged to his surface.

She could feel her siren reacting to the presence of his beast. It wasn’t good; she could feel her consciousness drifting and being replaced by a need so fierce that she felt scared because of it. Inez had never felt like this before, not even when she realised that Dominic was her mate.

"I told you that I am not going anywhere," said Killian as he crossed his hands behind him. He was still smiling as he spoke in a slow drawl, "Not because I want you with the same intensity as you want me. But if this is the kind of comfort that would make you stop hurting yourself, then I am willing to give it to you." His beast rumbled in delight when Inez’s siren surfaced and looked at him with that intense gaze. "Come to me, my siren."

Inez felt her siren trying to break free of the restraints that she had placed on her. It was clear that the siren wanted to go to the man who was the answer to all of her questions. Really, really wanted to. But Inez held back. Because using him would not be good. What was more, Killian was like one fucked-up drug. If she got her hands on him, he would make her feel really good.

So good that she would forget all the pain that she was suffering from.

But that would also leave her desiring more. She knew that it would only make her look even more stupid and reckless. She needed to hold back. This was what Inez knew, but the man looked so tempting that she didn’t want to hold back.

And —

Would he have the intense desire for her if he saw her naked? Inez didn’t think so. Her skin was covered in scars. Scars that her previous pack and friends had given her. Killian had seen countless beautiful women. As if her mind was inclined to make her climb down the rabbit hole, it reminded her of the woman whom she had seen in the sushi restaurant.

She would never be able to match a beauty like that.

Her siren, however, felt insulted. Her body might be covered in scars, but her beauty surpassed every other woman.

"Come here," said Killian like a devil determined to make her commit the deadly sin. "It will soothe both of us. We can finally have what we want, Inez."
