The Alpha King's Witch Bride Chapter 131: Werewolf, Witch Or Both?

"Aha! So a witch did this!"

As soon as Gamma Zane said those words, all eyes went to him, seemingly contemplating. It was as if they all had one person and one na in mind, but didn’t dare say anything because of .

’As if Odessa is the only witch within a several-mile radius.’ Damon scoffed with disdain, most of his aggression directed at Gamma Zane. ’These people should use their fucking brains before I slash them out.’

Damon’s rage coursed through my body as a surge of power that made stare at my uncle with cold, distant eyes. I was already imagining slashing his head off his neck... But held myself back, hiding my anger under a calm expression.

It’s not as if he directly pointed fingers at Odessa anyway.

"As much as I would love it to be as easy as only a witch doing this..." Alpha Katherine suddenly spoke up, stepping forward and walking past Elder Davina.

She squatted to the ground, scrutinizing the body of the female victim a bit before she pointed at her head.

It was cut clean from the scalp, leaving her charred skull and mushy brain matter that was nothing more than putrid, foamy liquids, exposed.

"... How would we explain the claw marks on this body and several other bodies within that church building?" Alpha Katherine continued, glancing back at all of us as she stood up.

She did make a good point...

"Yeah, those look like werewolf claw markings to ." Another Alpha comnted, folding his arms in front of his chest as he stroked his black beard. "At first, I was considering if maybe the witch used magically made monsters. But nah..."

As helpful as their observations were, this all ant one thing.

"So what? Are we suggesting that the person who did this is sohow both a werewolf and a witch?" Celine asked beside , chuckling at the thought as she glanced at .

A cold shiver ran down my spine as I got uncomfortable and looked away from the bitch.

Unfortunately, everyone else seed to be picking up with her words now.

"So, like a hybrid?" Layla questioned just then, causing to ntally curse.

This was very complicated for because I knew only ONE hybrid, who happens to be my mate. She couldn’t be the one behind this... Right?

Just then, I raised my head and noticed Elder Davina staring directly at . She seed curious, scrutinizing with dimd eyes.

Upon seeing this, I tore my gaze away from her and cleared my throat before speaking. "Have we considered the fact that perhaps a witch and a werewolf were responsible for this? Maybe working together in so form."

Everyone else murmured, so of them, especially my uncle, finding the idea preposterous.

"With all due respect, Alpha King, on what planet would a witch and werewolf work together to carry out a massacre of such proportions?" Gamma Zane asked, but his question seed to be directed at everyone.

Layla, who had been silent all this while, chid in just then. "Maybe the werewolf had the witch hostage?"

My Delta scoffed in response to her words, instantly dismissing them. "Knowing witches, it’s more than likely that a slimy little witch held a werewolf hostage and forced them to do this to push their narrative of us being ’monsters’."

Before I could part my lips to speak, Alpha Katherine snapped at the Delta. "Oh, please, let’s be realistic here! What then do you say about the rogue wolves terrorizing this region and most of North Arica?"

And just like that, an argunt ensued, one side arguing that a witch was responsible while the other argued that a Werewolf was.

During all this, I glanced occasionally at Elder Davina, who had a knowing look in her eyes. The glint in her eyes seed like the gears of a machine spinning in place to co to a realization.

’Do you think she suspects Odessa is a hybrid?’ Damon asked in my head, but I didn’t have a response to that and kept silent as the argunt around died down.

Suddenly, just when quiet and calm had begun falling on the place and I could finally hear myself think again, Celine cleared her throat and stepped forward, her high heels echoing on the burnt floor.

"I’m honestly surprised that none of you are pointing out sothing important here. But oh well, it’s clearly up to as the Luna Queen to guide." She said with a proud smirk, parting aside strands of her hair and giggling.

Once again, almost everyone present glanced at because of her behavior, causing to sigh silently with frustration.

Why the heck were they looking at when she’s no longer my wife?

’That’s what you get for barely making the divorce public knowledge.’ Damon spoke with a mocking snigger as I clenched my jaw and watched Celine continue with whatever she had to say.

Once she saw that she had everyone’s attention, she smiled brightly and clapped her hands together.

"So where was I? Oh, right... Quick question. Why in the moon’s na was this attack made re hours after the Alpha King and his Council visited?" She queried, scanning her gaze around.

Everyone was dead silent after that question, the only sound being the occasional sound of predatory birds cawing or hooting in the night outside.

Well, damn... Why didn’t I think of that?

’I’m telling you, she’s on so GOOD drugs. Maybe that’s giving her inspiration to be smarter.’ Damon said with a serious voice, causing to scoff silently.

Celine glanced briefly at before she sighed, shaking her head and spreading out her arms.

"No answer, eh? Well, allow to enlighten you all." She remarked, turning around and staring at the two dead bodies. "To , it’s quite obvious that whoever did this is either a mber of the Alpha King’s Council OR..."

She paused, turning her gaze to directly, causing to ball my hands into fists.

"Soone close enough to one of the mbers or the Alpha King himself to obtain information."

The air beca thick with tension after that was said, and accusatory glances and stares were thrown around.

The implications of Celine’s words were clear to ...

’It’s either that the culprit is soone close to , like Odessa, since I told her a bit about the investigation...’ I thought to myself, pursing my lips. ’Or, the culprit is right here in this room, hiding among us.’
