Inez came to a stop in front of the office door. She raised her hand to knock on the door but paused. Her hesitation wasn't due to the love she had for Dominic; it was because she knew that after today, she and him would walk on parallel paths that would never intersect.
However, the hesitation only lasted for a few seconds when her siren side reminded her of the pain that Dominic had brought to them. It was not just their friendship and bonds that were broken last night; he broke her pride and humiliated her in the worst way possible.
She could accept him pulling back from their mate bond but she could never and would never accept him breaking her pride.
With her teeth gritted, she knocked on the door.
"Come in," came the gruff response and Inez rolled her eyes. She knew that he had sensed her standing outside, thus the harsh tone. If it was Eve, there would be a subtle touch of softness in his voice.
