Inez looked at Tao with a smile, even though she could feel her heart beating faster. She knew Tao well enough to know that just like Dominic, he was also suspicious of her identity. Inez was not surprised, as she knew that Tao was smart enough not to be fooled like others. However, she only took a moment to gather her thoughts and calm her heart before smirking.
"I think you need to get your eyes checked, mister," Inez spoke in a believable voice. "I might be many things, but I am not his mate." She tipped her chin at Dominic, whose expression was blank. "Now if you two gentlemen will excuse us—"
She had just taken a step away from the man with her arm still resting on Killian's when Dominic lost his temper and yelled, "Get away from him."
He didn't know why he did it or what made him do it, but he still did it. With his beast lunging to the surface, he snarled at Inez. He said to her, "Don't touch him."
