Chapter 222: The Worst They Can Do?
And there she was. The aether that had been twirling and swivelling around her rippled and faded in golden
glitter as Inez opened her eyes. Unlike the other sirens, she didn’t have better control over her magical abilities
yet. The second she lost control, it would disappear, but at least it got the work done.
"What are you doing here?" Inez questioned, taking Selene by surprise. The woman was sitting by the small pond
that was hidden deep in the forest. "Don’t tellyou cthis far to see the stars?"
She noticed that Selene’s hands were tightly clenched in her lap. From her tense shoulders to the hard gritting of
her teeth, Inez could see that something had happened when she and Laxus left her. Something that stepped on
Selene’s pride, and yet the woman couldn't counter because of her pitiful condition.
Inez sat down on the floor and started speaking, "You know, when | was a kid, my mother never tookto any
parties. | even missed that big quinceafiera—she toldthat | didn’t deserve it for being a monster."
"Monster?" Selene turned to look down at Inez, who nodded with a smile on her face.
"Yes", Inez looked at the sparkling stars in the sky and sighed. "Usually, shifters only take the properties of one of
their parents, but | was an exception. Somehow, | inherited the abilities of both of my parents. | was a shifter and
you know..." she trailed off. "My mom couldn't accept it; she couldn't believe that she gave birth to a freak. She
wanted normal, or as normal as she could get, when she didn’t — she lost her control."
Though people told her that memories would fade, and so would the scars, Inez didn’t quite believe it. How could
the scars of the past fade when she still remembered the berating words that her mother said to her?
"But that’s wrong!" Selene snapped with a frown on her face. "It was not your fault that such a thing happened.
You couldn’t choose what you are—if anything, it’s your mother’s fault for getting entangled with someone she
had no idea about." There was very little known about sirens. Thus, it wasn’t anyone's fault but Mrs Sinclair's for
getting involved with someone she knew nothing about.
"You are right," Inez agreed with her. She pulled her knees close to her chest and placed her hands on top of her

are in a wheelchair. You shouldn't let others guide your life, you know?"
Selene stiffened. In her understanding, she knew that Killian would have told Inez all about what happened
between her, Laxus and his brother. She knew that he would tell Inez about it, and she wasn’t against it, nor was
she unhappy about it. It wasn’t a secret to begin with.
She sighed and turned to look away before saying to Inez, "I know. It just feels weird. There was a twhen |
was held in reverence. Just like how Killian is at the moment. Everyone thought that | would be the first female
alpha of my pack and that Killian would followas my beta. But then all of a sudden..." She dropped her gaze
to her legs, which were as useful as a cotton ball in a blazing forest fire. "I know it’s not anyone's fault, but it's
still a bit of a change forto accept the sudden mockery and taunts from others."
"One day you will get better and then you can kick them all in their arse for causing you so much pain. It won't
happen tonight or tomorrow, but someday it will." Inez assured the woman and at the strealised the
burden that she was carrying on her shoulders. A burden that she wasn’t close to solving. "What you can do is
prove to these bastards that you are still the sSelene Sokolov. Even if you are no longer the huntress who
could kill several coyotes and foxes with one quick move, you are still the sperson. The scourage still
resides in your heart. If you run, then they will forget the glory that they had once spoken about with great
relish."
Selene’s eyes studied her carefully before she shook her head. She said, "I don’t know about that, Inez. The fact
that | succumbed to the lies of a man is enough to prove that | was a fool like every other woman."
"You were not a fool. You were alive. Only the dead will remain unmoved in the face of promises and affection.
And it's not like you believed the words that he said to you," said Inez. She paused and then added, "Why don’t
you try to learn something from your brother?"
