Chapter 315: Secrets Unveiling (3)
"lI am not," Inez refused right away. Her hands were clenching her lap as she tried to calm down the fear that
started to surge within her. The last thing she wanted was someone to recognize that she was a siren in this
godawful prison.
"You are his daughter. Even when you look like your mother, there is still ssemblance that you share with
your father."
"You are mistaken." Inez firmly refused to admit that she was the daughter of a siren.
"There is no denying the truth, my dear. You look so much like him that anyone who has seen him once can see
the resemblance between you and your father. Your eyes, especially; they have so much vulnerability at the
stime," he rubbed his thumb and forefinger together with a pondering look on his face. "Just the right tinge
of seduction. They are just like your father’s." He crawled over to where the two sisters were sitting and winked

for them, right?"
Inez pursed her lips, trying to ease her hammering heart behind her ribs. The dungeon was filled with all kinds of
twisted criminals. Could she even trust this man? Especially when he was unhinged enough to massacre his
entire pack? Though he had a valid reason for that, it was still terrifying. The man tilted his head to one side and
mused, "What a surprise. How cno one realised that you were a siren? Your blood sings too loud. Even now,
| can feel it. Siren blood. His blood." He lifted his head and stared straight at her. "Your father’s."
Her pulse started hammering. "You knew him?"
"I watched him rot, slowly and painfully." The man’s voice cracked with bitterness. "The female alpha who
claimed him swore that she loved him. She wanted to chain the storm without realising what she was even trying
to do. However, she soon realised that a creature of the sea could never be restrained. So she chained him,
determined to break him, crumble him until he gave in to her. And for a time, she almost broke him."
Scarlet’s eyes went wide when she heard the words of the man. "Mom..."
The prisoner's eyes flicked to Scarlet, and he hummed. "You must be her half-sister, right? | saw that woman fall
right in front of my eyes. So | know that you two cannot be related to the sfather." Clicking his tongue, the
man sighed. "What a poor thing. He was such a kind man, an odd one out of all. Sirens are usually more
unrestrained and chaotic. | remember that he was brought to your mother as an offering for an alliance. He was
supposed to stay just for a week and leave, but shifters’ greed doesn’t really know bounds, does it?"
And Inez felt her rage leaving the bounds as well. A strange emotion coursed through her veins, where she could
feel the molten fury bubble. She had never thought that she was capable of murder, but at that moment, she did
have the intent to harm someone. The anger within her skin threatened to consher. The rage was so alien
that Inez wanted to break open the bars of this cell and then throttle her mother to death. Her own mother and
she would happily watch her die at that very moment.
Scarlet studied her with a frown.
She shook her head at Scarlet, letting her know that she was not going to lose her temper. That she was still in
control. For now. Her shoulders were square, and her stance was like that of a snake that was inches away from
poisoning someone to death.
"My mother is an omega," Inez told the man, wanting to know more of what happened between her mother and
her father.
The man shook his head slowly. "Ah, she was never an omega. At least not by birth. After the praise and fof
your father and his ethereal beauty scattered all over the lands, another one came. A witch, with eyes like those
of winter and a heart full of desire and hunger. She wanted him, too, you see? Could not stand the fact that your
mother claimed him. So she cursed her. Stripped her of her strength. Made her an omega. Unfit to lead, unfit to
fight. Humiliated her with the worst kind of humiliation, all because your mother touched your father in a way
she shouldn't have."
Inez’s throat tightened. "And my dad... what happened to him?"
