"What for?" Inez asked as she turned on her feet and strode out of the lodge without looking at the man. She had no desire to stay in the room and let everyone ogle at her as if she were some rare breed of animal that needed to be studied. She just stood up for Killian because Edira reminded her of her mother.
Just like her mother, Edira seemed to be too used to coddling her grandson, but in truth, she was only trying to control his life in her own way. And Inez didn't know if there was something worse than someone trying to control a dominant shifter. Even she, as a half-shifter, felt too stifled under her mother. She wondered how Killian lived his life.
