That would explain why Killian went so rigid and weird when she talked about Lyra with him. As someone who was mourning her mate even though he was alive, Inez could, to some degree, understand his pain.
"She was your sister?" Inez asked, picking up another detail that Nyx had let slide.
The woman nodded with a saddened sigh. "That's why me and Fenric were so unfriendly towards you. We thought that Killian had brought another woman to discredit and embarrass the memories of our sister. Though we are not against him moving on—he should at least find someone stable and imprint on her."
She paused and sighed heavily. "We are not against him imprinting but by sleeping with different women—" she trailed off, not finishing her sentence but Inez understood what Nyx wanted to tell her.
"You think he is mocking the memory of your sister?" Inez sounded out and the woman smiled at her embarrassingly.
