"Why would I run away?" Inez glanced at the woman with a raised brow. "I have done nothing wrong." She then turned to look at Killian and questioned, "And what's the matter with you, Alpha? It's the middle of the night. I was peacefully sleeping when I was dragged out of my bed. I hope that you have a very good reason for your actions."
"I am not a morning person," she added with a growl.
"And neither am I." Killian hated that he was putting her through such an ordeal. He knew that Inez was already reluctant to trust his pack members and pack and now that feeling was only going to get even stronger.
