StartNovelChapter 306: | Still Miss My Ex
Elder Rollins’s shoulders stiffened, and he looked at Dominic with an air of someone who was preparing for a
long fight. Rolling his shoulders, he said to Dominic, "And what do you mean by those words?"
"You know what | mean; in fact, every single one of you knows what | am trying to say here." Dominic had been a
member of the council for a very long time. Long enough to understand how to find his way in this labyrinth-like
hierarchy. However, at that very moment, he just couldn't summon the energy to lower his head, tell the man to
fuck off in his head and go on his merry way. "There were signs of shifters breaking into the town next to
Mistvile. Enough evidence proves that the intruders who entered the town were shifters—shifters who could drink
and suck blood—"
There was a loud, ricocheting bang in the conference room as Elder Pierson banged his fist on the table. He
glared at Dominic and stated, "What a nonsensical theory. Do you even believe what you are saying? Shifters
who can suck blood? There has been no evidence to prove that such a thing could even happen. You want us to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbelieve such a twisted story? Con, Alpha Cherith. You can do better than that."
The man rolled his eyes to assert his stance, but Dominic could see that flickering eyes of the man. So he was
either lying or trying to avoid facing the truth, and given how much he knew these elders, Dominic knew that
there was a very good chance it was both. He closed his eyes and sucked in another breath before saying, "I
have nothing to say if this is your stance, Elder Pierson."
Slowly getting to his feet, he glanced at the faces of the stubborn old men. Now he knew why Killian would
rather take on the title of a reckless, frustrating and infuriating alpha who would never understand the severity
of his position rather than coming to these stupid meetings. Because he too wished he could do the sat that
very moment. He exhaled deeply before pivoting on the spot and said to the rest of the elders, "I cannot
continue with this investigation. Since you believe that | am on the wrong trail, then you can look for someone
who will lead you to the right one. | believe that you have many to help you with that."
He then stormed out of the conference room without saying anything else to the elders. Tao, hot on his heels,
chased after him. He said in a hurry, "The elders will not like it. They will certainly see this as an act of rebellion."
"Then they might as well start doing that," Dominic gritted out. His teeth were clenched so tightly that he could
hear them grind. "I have done everything to make them see the truth, but they want to bury their heads under
the sand and ignore the warnings that | am giving them. Since that is the case, then they might as well look for
someone who will continue giving them false security."
Tao stared at him.
"What?" Sensing that his beta was looking at him, Dominic turned and looked at the man with a confused gaze.
"It’s nothing; you —seem to have changed," said Tao with a hint of awe in his tone. "You were always so—" He
frowned and continued with a subtle tone, "Disciplined. | have never seen you going against the council; in the
past, you would have ignored the truth just like the rest."
He would have; he would certainly have done that but—
Someone feels guilty. But unfortunately, it’s too late.
His beast scoffed within his head, and Dominic ignored him. It wasn’t too late; he could still investigate the truth.
As long as he could dig a bit deeper, he would know the truth. He would.
And when the truth comes to light, it would be just as he expected.
And what if it's not?
It will be.
Dominic snapped at his beast before marching down the corridor. He didn’t believe that he would miss
something so important; there was no way he wouldn't recognise Inez in the surveillance recording and yet
Luca's words still rang in his head.
What if it was never Inez? What if it was someone else?
No. There was no way that could be possible. He knew Inez; he would recognise her.
Are you sure about that? The voice of his wolf echoed in his head with a mocking jeer. As far as | know, you are
yet to realise the kind of woman our ex-mate was, you are a fool, Dominic Cherith. And you will soon realise it.
She is not our—
