Inez stiffened as she raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. The all-too-familiar scent washed over her, and it took all her control not to lunge at the man and slash his throat from his neck. Yeah, that was how badly a siren took rejection. Her eyes met those of Dominic, who stared down at her.
"Are you okay?" Dominic reached out to hold her.
His reaction towards her was instinctive, as the fragments of their bonds still lingered between the two of them. Inez sighed and stepped backwards. They had no future together anymore; there was no reason for her to entertain those broken fragments.
Dominic's eyes darkened when the woman stepped away from him. He couldn't understand the irrational desire to lock the woman up. She was not his mate; she was Killian's woman, and even if she shared many similarities with Inez, it didn't make her Inez. Even her scent was all wrong, and yet he couldn't help but be drawn to her.
