Chapter 303: The Female Alpha
Turned out that Scarlet was indeed correct. The path did lead them to the abandoned pack. Sheltered and away
from the town, the territory was hidden deep within a forest. Inez could see a few council guards walking around
the old territory and couldn't help but frown when she noticed the men moving around.
"Why—"
"The council doesn’t want the land to go into the hands of the Zealots," replied Scarlet before Inez could even
ask what the guards were doing there. She pointed to the only house that looked intact and new and stated, "So
they sent a few guards here to live and guard the borders lest the Zealots set this place on fire again."
"They have set fire to this pack?" Inez asked with a frown.
"Yup," Scarlet responded with a pop to the "p’. "You know how much those lunatics hate shifters. They cannot
deal with the shifter territories where shifters live. But that didn’t stop them from setting fires to the territories
that had been abandoned and ruined after a pack war or something of the sort. It was a classic example of
fearing the strong and bullying the weak.
"So can we just walk right into the territory?" Inez questioned again. God, she felt stupid for asking these
questions, but with Killian asking her to stay in the pack and not leave without a reason, she could only send
Scarlet to investigate the situation and the pack that was once under Alpha Ria, as she couldn't make so many
visits in just a few days with Killian worrying over her like a mama bear.
"Not exactly." Scarlet glanced at the guards before saying to her, "I bribed one of the guards, and he arranged a
little leeway for us to sneak inside and take a look around the alpha lodge. But only for a short while. Can't let
anyone catch us, or things might bectroublesfor us."
Inez had never seen or heard of a plan where so many things could go wrong at once. However, the burning
questions within her made it nearly impossible for her to turn around and leave. She wanted to see the truth for
herself. Whether the female alpha, the garage owner and his wife spoke of, was really Maria Siclair. The two
women walked past the thick cluster of trees and headed down the rocky trail.
This place smells weird, said Nerina. She had been silent till now, curiously looking around the territory, even

of a few houses that might have been burnt down to a crisp in the fire set by the zealots.
What do you mean by 'weird’?
There is a lingering magical energy—and it’s not friendly.
Inez frowned upon hearing Nerina’s response, but before she could question her siren about what she meant by
‘not so friendly energy’, Scarlet paused in her stride. "We are here," she announced in a low voice.
Inez raised her head and stared at the dilapidated building in front of her. The second her eyes fell on the run-
down house, Inez seemed to have returned to the days of her past. A memory, a rather old and buried one,
surfaced to the front as she walked closer to the stairs of the mansion.

Daddy!
A man so ethereally beautiful that the air around him seemed to be slowing down turned around and smiled at
little Inez. The worry lines on his face smoothed down as he did so. ‘My princess.” The man called back as he
scooped the young Inez up from the ground, sending a fit of giggles.
‘Dad, are you awake? Do you feel better? Mom said that you were tired after last night and fell sick. How can you
end up falling sick all the time, Dad?’ the little girl asked.” She must have been three or four years old because
she couldn’t see or understand the severity of the injuries of her father.
The man smiled at her and nodded, wincing slightly when the cut on his lips pulled due to his efforts to smile at
his daughter. 'l am awake—and | am not sick. Just tired. What about you? Are you hungry? Did you finish your
lunch?’ He asked, kissing his daughter on the forehead.

Her blurry memories turned refined,
and Inez sucked in a breath as she

"Inez, are you okay?" She snapped out of her thoughts upon hearing Scarlet’s voice. She turned and looked at
her sister, who was staring up at her with a concerned look on her face. "What happened? Did you see
something?"

"You saw her?" Scarlet asked. Nothing about this place rang a bell for her because she wasn’t born, but Inez was
already there - though young, she had seen and felt the horrors of having a woman like Maria Sinclair as her
mother.
Inez nodded, and Scarlet let out a string of curses.
