Killian glanced at the woman. He curled his lips before asking, "What’s wrong? Are you worried about a little competition? Don’t worry. We can play fairly." As he finished speaking, he winked at Nyx, whose face turned cold.
"Why would I be in love with a woman like her? I was just worried that you were thinking of making a latent Luna," scoffed Nyx. Her face, which was filled with smiles when she was with Inez, had turned cold as she ripped the mask off her face. "That would be embarrassing. Compared to her, I would love having my sister as your Luna."
"Unfortunately, the world doesn’t run how you want it, Nyx," Killian drawled. Noticing something from the corner of his eyes, he smiled at the woman in front of him and said to him, "From now on, you better not enter my lodge as you please. The next time you please your mother for the passcode, I will have your entire family locked out. Do you understand?"
He then placed the glass in Nyx’s hands before walking past her. As he walked out, he heard the sound of something breaking behind him and curled his lips in a small smile. He climbed down the stairs and, upon reaching the last flight of the stairs, he saw his mother standing at the base of the stairs.
She seemed to be saying something to Grandma Edira in rapid motion, which Killian didn’t quite catch, as he was not interested in whatever Molly was saying.
The second Killian stepped down the last stair, and Molly wheeled to look at him. Her eyes were blazing with anger as she snarled at him. His beast snarled back, as he didn’t like a lycan weaker than him showing an attitude. However, Killian smiled calmly. He said to his mother, "Did I not do what you asked me to do?"
"Don’t play with me, Killian," said Molly; his eyes flashed with anger and disappointment. Oh, how she wished that in that accident, the child in her belly would have died rather than her perfect son. If he were here, then he would have never treated her in the same manner as Killian. "What did you say to that poor girl? Her sister just called me. She is furious! She told me why I bothered to make this arrangement when you were not willing. She asked me how I could be so daring as to insult the Drakos family?"
"The poor girl has been crying in her room, and no one can comfort her. Just what did you say to her? I only asked you to take her to dinner and bring her back!" Molly questioned in an exasperated tone.
"I did just what you asked me to. I brought her to a nice sushi place for dinner. It’s just that the girl and I have really low compatibility," replied Killian in a calm voice.
"Sushi? I asked you to take her to a candlelight dinner!" Molly stated through gritted teeth.
"I like my food a bit raw," Killian fired back. "I mean, what’s wrong with eating sushi? Miss Jules should get used to living in a lycan territory. Since she has realised that she cannot do it, let her be."
When Molly heard his response, her nostrils flared up. She was sure that the man was lying to her; after all, she knew that Jules Drakos was not the kind of woman who would lose her temper over something so simple. Killian must have done something that he was not telling her. From Serafina’s stance, it seemed like the woman was really angry and no longer looked as enthusiastic as she had in the past over this reunion.
Molly didn’t understand where she went wrong with Killian; she obviously tried to make him just as perfect as her late son, but this son of hers turned into a monster. She didn’t know what to do with him anymore. Now she wondered if there was a woman left in this world who could tame this beast.
This was because she had met with Jules and accepted that the woman was really smart and kind. If Killian couldn’t get along with her, Molly wondered if he could get along with anyone.
"If that is all, I have many important matters to attend to." Killian was still smiling, but his eyes were ice cold as he turned on his feet and headed out of the lodge.
Seeing this, Molly turned to look at Grandma Edira. She said to her, "You see that? That boy doesn’t even listen to me. His mother. If this goes on, then no one will pay attention to me. They will take his actions as permission to disrespect me."
Nyx stepped down the flight of stairs and smiled at Molly before saying to her, "Don’t worry too much, Aunt. Even though Kill blames you for the things that you have done in the past, he wouldn’t let you get insulted by others," said Nyx, ignoring the paling complexion of the woman. "As for the match that you are worrying about, you can let the young woman attend the birthday party we are arranging for my mother and Grandma Edira. This way we will be able to smooth the relationship between the two families."
Though Molly disliked the fact that Nyx had brought up the old incidents, she was indeed convinced by her suggestion. She nodded, and the frown on her face smoothed as she said to her, "You are right. Maybe there is still a chance for the two families to work out their differences."
When Grandma Edira heard her response, she frowned and couldn’t help but say, "You should stop when you still have time." Her gaze fell on Molly, and she sneered coldly. "I don’t know why you are trying to become his mother, Molly."
"I am not becoming his mother; I am his mother."
"Are you?" Grandma Edira sneered and returned the question to Molly, whose face turned pale.
