The Alpha King's Witch Bride Chapter 98: What Is She?

Kaelos’ POV

*****

As soon as I shifted into Damon, I bolted through the woods, heading straight for the area where Odessa’s scream had co from.

I was so fast and my body so large that the trees in my path got crushed into nothing but splinters of wood that flew around like shattered glass.

My mind was a ss, my teeth bared as I thought about Odessa. Now that I’d shifted into my wolf— this beastly form that I had terd a harbinger of chaos and destruction for so long, I could only think of one thing and one thing only.

I’ll rip apart anyone who touches her!

With the speed of my shifted form, it took Damon and only a few seconds to get to the area where Odessa’s scream had co from. When I spotted her tied to a tree and being molested by a rogue wolf, I snapped.

Long story short, I didn’t know when I slaughtered every last werewolf present in that camp until there was nothing but blood and organs littered everywhere.

When I managed to shift back into my human form, however, Odessa revealed sothing mind-boggling.

"What do you an you think you’re a werewolf?" I queried, arching an eyebrow as I tried to catch my breath.

Apart from the chaos and his wildness, shifting into Damon usually affected physically once I shifted back to my human form.

Not to ntion the fact that my body was covered in fresh wounds and scratches inflicted by one or two of the rogues.

Anyway, Odessa lowered her head, while raising her arms to cover her chest. It was then that my gaze fell to her chest and my jaw clenched.

The bastard who had molested her before I showed up had ripped the upper part of her dress, leaving her chest exposed apart from a fragile-looking bra.

"Hey..." I brought my right hand to her chin and forced her to look into my eyes as I scrutinized her face.

Right there, etched on the side of her face, were hand prints, signifying that she’d been slapped.

Seeing this, I gritted my teeth, a guttural growl escaping my mouth before I glanced back.

Unfortunately, it seed the leader of the group had found a way to escape before I could get him.

’Let’s go after him. He shouldn’t have gone too far.’ Damon suggested, sounding excited after I let him out for the first ti in years.

I scoffed, shaking my head before I responded ntally. ’And leave Odessa here? Yeah, I’ll pass.’

Speaking of which...

It had happened so fast, but I rember hearing a sonic wolf howl co out of Odessa’s mouth.

And I didn’t know if I was imagining things but I could definitely sense sothing different about her.

"It can’t be..." I shook my head with disbelief, bringing my right hand to her face and fondling it closely. "H– How is this possible?"

Odessa’s eyelids fluttered, her face heating up with a blush as she shook her head. "I’m as confused as you are. I’m certain none of my parents were werewolves and even if they were, why now? Why is my wolf awakening after so long?"

Her wolf?

I dimd my eyes, tilting my head before I spoke. "Your wolf? What are you not telling ? C– Can you hear a voice at the back of your head? As if it’s a part of you?"

Odessa’s eyebrows furrowed into a frown before she nodded. "Yes, actually. The voice keeps saying she’s my wolf. What could all this an? Am I even still a witch?" She brushed her right hand through her hair, breathing out in exhaustion.

I felt bad for her and all she went through and also for all the confusion, but I didn’t forget what she put through by trying to escape.

"We’ll get more answers once we get back to the pack," I muttered, grabbing her right wrist before attempting to drag her with .

However, I paused when I heard sobs in a corner, forcing to squint my eyes as I turned my gaze to its direction.

Oh right... There had been a human woman who was left captive, but I didn’t pay her much attention when I was fighting against the rogue wolves.

"We can’t just leave her here." Odessa suddenly blurted, forcing to turn my gaze back to her. "B– Besides, why the rush? It’s not as if I’m–"

"You’re needed back in that pack!" I interrupted her, groaning with frustration.

Odessa jolted in shock after my outburst, her eyes quivering with fear and as she looked into my eyes.

I let out a sigh when I realized that I might have overreacted a little.

I brushed my right hand through my hair and gritted my teeth as the few slashes from the rogues started stinging with pain once again.

"I don’t know about you but I’m going to escort this woman back to her settlent before I co back with you to any pack." Odessa’s voice suddenly beca cold but resolute as she eyed .

However, just when she turned away from , attempting to head to the woman, I grabbed her hand again, causing her to groan with frustration.

"Wait..." I whispered, letting out a sigh. "I’ll accompany you."

.

.

It took us just within ten minutes to get the human woman in front of her little town where she lived with other humans. The place seed isolated but I didn’t have enough ti to scrutinize it as I grabbed Odessa and took her back to the pack.

Navigating our way back to the pack seed easier than finding Odessa, especially since she was surprisingly able to keep up.

Each ti I occasionally glanced at her, I sniffed closely, trying to see if I would be able to catch the scent of a werewolf. Yet, I couldn’t sll that and only picked up the scent of a human.

Her witch scent was slowly coming back after whatever she took wore off, but there was still one question at the back of my mind.

What is she exactly?

When we finally got to the outskirts of the Blood Oak pack, the night sky still illuminated by the moon, I held Odessa’s shoulder and stopped her from moving further.

"I need to tell you sothing before we go in," I whispered, scanning my gaze around cautiously.
