The Alpha King's Witch Bride Chapter 30: Nothing More Than An Agreement

After freshening up and dressing up, Caroline led to Elder Davina’s residence, as I requested.

The compound was large but also felt so simple. Or at least... That’s what it seed like at the surface.

Beyond all that, I could feel an influx of spiritual energy that made my hair stand on end.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get a deeper feel of the compound when Kaelos and his ’Alpha Council ’ spotted .

One of them, who’s apparently the Gamma, seed to hate for no reason other than the fact that I’m a witch while the other, the Delta, was the sa man who slapped back at my coven.

I already despised both of them after our little encounter, especially when they were trying to make a big deal of my dressing.

Anyway, after Kaelos led to begin my trials in the pack by first deciphering what happened to the maid who was killed and Beta Marcellus helped out, I discovered sothing vital.

"I need to go tell Kaelos all of this," I muttered to myself as I finally left Elder Davina’s backyard where so pack soldiers were already attempting to carry the girl’s body out of there.

I stared at them for a few seconds before heading for the exit to the compound.

"Wait."

I paused abruptly when I heard a voice calling back, causing to slowly turn around.

The owner of the voice turned out to be Elder Davina herself, who walked toward with her staff in hand, a calm smile on her face.

"Odessa Pierce." She muttered when she got to , her piercing eyes scrutinizing closely.

I gulped silently but managed to plaster a smile on my face as I bowed slightly in front of her.

"Good evening, Elder. I was just about to report my findings to Alpha King Kaelos." I said with a ek tone, trying to avoid her gaze.

Gosh, she seed like she wanted to get a look at my soul.

Anyway, she smiled knowingly before asking. "Don’t you an your ’husband’?"

Oh... Right.

I flashed the older woman a wry smile and nodded, turning around and attempting to leave.

Unfortunately for , she seed eager to hold back with a conversation and called out.

"Have you noticed anything... Odd while around your husband, Odessa?" She asked, causing to freeze.

Hold up one second... Does she know about the mate bond?

Curious to find out, I turned around and stared at her with dimd eyes before I responded. "Uhh... Sothing odd like what?"

She smiled, her eyes glinting with wisdom.

Or... That could also be drugs, I don’t know.

"I can guess that you’ve noticed sothing different about him that you’ve never seen in another man. Perhaps... A heightened sexual yearning?" Elder Davina remarked knowingly, causing my face to heat up with a blush.

What the fuck?

"Sorry to ask, ma’am, but are you psychic?" I couldn’t help but ask, squinting my eyes suspiciously. "Last night, you were able to say my na at the altar and I’m certain we’ve never t."

Suddenly, she chuckled, shaking her head with an amused smirk.

"No, I’m not psychic. I just know things thanks to the moon goddess and common sense." She said with a wink before she turned around, her robe blowing majestically behind her. "If you ever have any questions or if you notice anything odd, don’t be afraid to co et . I might be a werewolf but I don’t bite..."

She paused just then, glancing at from over her shoulder before she added. "... Well, mostly, anyway."

With that, she walked into her duplex, leaving standing out in the compound all by myself.

I glanced up at the evening sky and sighed before I continued heading for the Alpha mansion... AKA, my husband’s house.

On my way there, I spotted a few people, mostly elite mbers of the pack, who gave spiteful looks and murmured among themselves.

I beca self-conscious but chose to ignore them, instead thinking of other things of more importance.

For example... The possibility of my magic awakening after so long.

First, the light flickering during my confrontation with Celine was sothing that had never happened before.

I tried replicating sothing by casting a withering spell on a flower in the presence of Beta Marcellus but that had turned out to be an embarrassing failure.

"What am I missing?" I asked myself as I finally got into the compound of the mansion.

I walked past so guards wearing suits but they only gave disdainful looks when I walked past.

Pftt... And I’m supposed to be the Alpha king’s ’bride’?

Anyway, I navigated my way through the mansion and finally got to the last floor where the rooms and Kaelos’ office were.

Not bothering to knock, I placed my hand on the doorknob and swung the door open, eager to share my findings with Kaelos.

However, nothing would’ve prepared for what I saw next when I stepped in.

"Kaelos, I found sothing on the..."

I paused, my heart skipping a beat at the scene I saw.

Standing aggravatingly close to Kaelos was Celine who had one hand on his chest and the other hand caressing his head.

She turned her gaze to just then and gave a mischievous grin, causing to ball my hands into fists.

The conniving little bitch!

"Odessa..." Kaelos muttered, glancing first at Celine before he turned his gaze fully to .

His silver eyes flashed with sothing I could’ve sworn was guilt, causing my shoulders to relax at the thought that he sohow cared despite what I was seeing.

However, I soon ca back to my senses and shook my head when I ca to a realization.

Our marriage was nothing more than an agreent. A truce, a symbol of potential peace between two warring races.

I should’ve never placed any aning beyond that to it, not even for a second.

"I’m sorry for interrupting," I said with a slight bow, plastering a smile on my face as my gaze fleeted from Kaelos to Celine. "I’ll co back later with the information I discovered."

Without another word, I quickly stepped back and walked out of the office, slamming the door behind .

My chest burned with a weird mix of anger and hurt that threatened to consu as I stord toward my room.
