Chapter 104: _Three Lords, One Witch

Marcellus’ POV

*****

When he got back to his residence after leaving that spell on one of the Alpha King’s guards, Marcellus snapped his fingers, causing music to begin playing around the living room from the speakers.

It was pop music that caused him to dance and move to the beat, a cheery grin on his face.

Odessa was out of the pack and her darling Alpha king had chased after her. He was slowly spreading chaos and mistrust through the pack and coming closer to completing his mission for the true Lord of the North.

Everything was turning out good and he felt the need to loosen up and just have fun— especially since he got knocked out by Odessa earlier tonight.

"Well, someone looks extra excited tonight." Cullen’s voice echoed around the living room, causing Marcellus to turn his gaze to him.

His assistant had his arms folded in front of his chest and walked toward him with curiosity in his eyes. "Well, don’t keep me hanging. What did you do this time?"

Marcellus’ grin increased as he revealed all the latest happenings from tonight to Cullen.

However, when he was done, Cullen had a confused expression on his face as he waved his right hand in front of his face.

"Wait, so the witch is also out of the pack? And you aren’t curious to know where she went or anything?"

Marcellus scoffed, waving his right hand dismissively before he spoke. "Dude, who gives a rat’s ass about that? Besides, Lord Ryker wanted to have her for personal reasons anyway. This was just an easy way of her going into his grasp."

Cullen parted his lips for a few seconds before he shook his head. "So, you’re saying you’re done with that silly obsession you were having over her? That you... No longer have any interest in deciphering her secrets or whatever?"

What the heck was the lad yapping about?!

Marcellus rolled his eyes but before he could say anything, he felt someone trying to reach him telepathically, causing him to stop his dancing.

He turned off the music with a simple wave of his hand before he answered the telepathic call.

’Marcellus. I’ve got news.’ Lord Ryker’s voice echoed in his mind just then, causing Marcellus to dim his eyes.

’My lord, what’s the update?’ he asked, glancing at Cullen before he headed upstairs.

When Marcellus got to his chambers, he walked up to the balcony and stood there, placing both his hands on the handrails as he waited for Lord Ryker to continue.

’I’ll be quick with it. Odessa Pierce is a true hybrid and her wolf has awakened.’ Lord Ryker said so casually in the telepathic link.

However, as soon as Marcellus heard that, his eyes widened with shock and he was sure that if he’d been drinking something, he would have spat it out.

As if that first information wasn’t enough already, Lord Ryker continued. ’The rogues who I positioned in the Blood Oak woods have been slaughtered by Kaelos. He’s on his way back to the pack as we speak.’

Just then, Marcellus scanned his gaze down on the pack, squinting his eyes.

It was already midnight and the pack was dead quiet, apart from a few pack soldiers who patrolled once in a while. Mandatory curfew for the werewolves has always been during midnight even after the truce.

Anyway, Marcellus soon caught sight of Odessa and Kaelos close to the Alpha mansion, with the latter holding the former close despite the blood and mud sticking to his body and bare chest.

Marcellus’ eyes twitched with anger as he glared at them despite the distance.

Why was he angry though? Was it because they were back to make things more difficult for him again? Or was there something else at play here?

Marcellus groaned, using his fingers to rub his forehead before he responded to the true Lord of the North.

’They have already gotten here, my Lord.’

Lord Ryker was silent for a few seconds before he spoke. ’Well, that took shorter than I expected. Anyway, keep a close eye on Odessa, now more than ever. And whatever you do, make sure you increase the people’s mistrust of witches and Kaelos’ rule.’

With that, the telepathic link was broken, causing Marcellus to sigh heavily as he shook his head.

"So, they’re back already, huh?" Cullen’s voice spoke up from behind him like a phantom just then, causing Marcellus to clench his jaw. "Well, damn. So much for your celebration."

Marcellus turned around and flashed his assistant a sarcastic smile before he stretched his hand into the room and used telekinesis to levitate a bottle of vodka to his hand.

"Kaelos and his mate became a whole lot more interesting," Marcellus remarked as he opened the bottle without pouring its contents into a glass.

He instead drank directly from it, sighing with satisfaction after taking a huge gulp.

"The powerless witch has actually been a true hybrid all this time. And now Lord Ryker has assigned me to keep an eye on her."

Cullen’s eyes widened with shock as he brought his gaze to Odessa and Kaelos again.

"A true hybrid?" He nearly exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief. "And we’re sure that she doesn’t use magic? That’s she powerless–"

"We aren’t sure of anything, Cullen. That’s the thing." Marcellus remarked with a sigh, gulping the bottle of vodka again. "Which is why I’ve been tasked to watch her."

There was a long silence after that as Marcellus watched Odessa and Kaelos walking into that mansion from this distance.

For whatever reason, especially after the new information he had, seeing Kaelos holding Odessa so close made him get irritated.

If she truly was a hybrid, then her bloodline in the future was sure to be powerful.

Marcellus couldn’t help but imagine what having children with the powerless witch— now hybrid— would feel like.

"Now, this is some interesting telenovela-level shit." Cullen suddenly sniggered beside Marcellus just then. "Three Lord’s after one witch. Who’ll finally get her in the end?"
