Chapter 302: Heading to Alpha Ria’s Territory
"I asked around," said Scarlet as she stepped out of the car. "The people of the town where you met the
mechanic tolda little about the female alpha that man and his wife spoke of."
"They did?" Inez followed Scarlet out of the car. She glanced around the town where she had cthe last time
with Tracy, and the worry in her heart eased a little. The town no longer looked as terrifying as it did on that
night; instead, it looked quite cute and vintage, with small houses scattered all over the land. Suddenly, an odd
sort of feeling, which she wasn’t used to but wasn’t unfamiliar with, trickled within her heart. It was an emotion
that she hadn't felt on her last visit to this town.
Nostalgia.
Like she knew this place but couldn't remember it anymore. As if she had once walked around this place—which
was fucking weird because Inez didn’t recall walking around this town in the past, like, ever.
It’s not weird considering that the last tyou were here, you were just a kid, her siren spoke within her. Her
voice was calm and soothing, but Inez didn’t dare to trust her, given that her siren was not even in control of her
own powers.
Her siren snorted within her.
Is it my fault? You have never acceptedas a part of you. Always ashamed. Always avoiding me. You don’t
even speak my name. If not for the fact that your wolf was incapable of assisting you at the moment, you
wouldn't even pay attention to me. If you had learned how to use your powers, do you think that we would be in
the situation that we are in at the moment? Her siren’s words left a lingering guilt within Inez.
Right. She had always avoided even accepting that she was part siren because her mother often called her a
monster and whatnot. Saying that she was not worthy enough to be a shifter because she also had a siren.
Because of this very reason, Inez had hardly learnt or even accepted her siren—no, Nerina. That was what her
siren was called.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtInez could feel Nerina’s happiness within her. Even though she hadn't done anything other than accept her and
call her by her name, Nerina was beaming with happiness with just that alone and that only made Inez even
qguiltier.
"Are you speaking with your siren?"
Scarlet’s voice broke through her thoughts, and Inez turned to look at her sister.
"Yeah, how do you know that?" She asked.
"You have this guilty expression on your face. Like you did something wrong," mused Scarlet. She wasn’t looking
at Inez but around the town as if searching for something. "Honestly, | wonder how it feels to have two forces
within your own body and head. | mean, | have Mila, and she alone is enough to keepoccupied all day long
with how chatty she is. | wonder how you haven't gone crazy with Nia and that siren of yours."
"Nerina". Inez relayed her siren’s nto Scarlet before she continued to speak. "And yeah—it’s really confusing
with the two of them yelling and screaming atin my head, but with Nia gone... it's quite too quiet." Inez
frowned, missing her wolf who had gone silent. She could feel Nia, knew that she was alive within her. But that
was it. She couldn't reach out to her. It was as if Nia was wrapped and hidden in a bubble. Inez could see and
feel her, but she couldn't reach her with the barrier separating her from her wolf.
She is just throwing a tantrum, huffed Nerina. What's the point of pining after a wolf who doesn’t even want you?
She is a shand embarrassment for all the sirens.
Except that she is a wolf and not a siren.
She is stuck with me. So she should know better. Men and wolves are not worth your trust—and even if they are,
you need to keep your heart protected. Never ever put your key to happiness in the hands of a man.
What about Killian?
Inez could feel her siren going silent before Nerina exploded. What about him? What about him? It’s not like | am
going to cry myself to death if he walks out on me. | am stronger than Nia and always will be. Don’t countin
the srank as her, alright?
Inez winced as Nerina’s voice drummed within her head. She pushed her siren back to the back of her head and
then glanced at Scarlet, who was standing in front of her and staring at the end of the road on the right. "What
are you looking at?"
"There is something wrong," replied Scarlet. She pointed at the end of the road, and Inez followed her line of
sight. "You see that? That old path had a signboard with all the streets marked the last t| chere, but now
there is nothing. It’s weird. who in the world would move a signboard?"
‘It was indeed weird,” agreed Inez.
Why would someone move a signboard?
She questioned, "Was that signboard important?"
"No," Scarlet shook her head. "Though it was indeed a landmark that | marked in my head, it wasn’t exactly
important. | know where to go."
She raised her foot and headed down
the road that spiralled down from a
modern one to a rickety and bumpy
forest path. Witpthidirfybushes, wild
olrifs nt gnarled branches
reaching out to smack them on their
faces, Inez felt like they were walking
down what she thought was a path
to the forbidden city rather than to an
old and abandoned pack. The
