The Alpha King's Witch Bride
Chapter 109: _New Attitude

Chapter 109: _New Attitude

When I was done bathing, I stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body.

As I tried applying some lotion to my body, Caroline began speaking about something different from the events at the Blood Oak pack.

"So, you and the Alpha King..." Caroline muttered, giving me a wink and causing me to glance at her. "I mean, it’s kinda cute how he came to rescue you and didn’t... Leave you for dead or something. I don’t know, I expected him to give some kind of punishment and I got a little worried."

I pouted my lips, shaking my head before I responded. "And? What’s your point?"

I didn’t realize how blunt I sounded until I noticed the awkward expression on Caroline’s face as she scratched the back of her neck.

"M– My point is, maybe he cares about you. Not just as a symbol of some truce but something more."

I raised an eyebrow even though I was getting a little nervous deep down. If anyone could possibly connect the dots between the true nature of my relationship with Kaelos, it could very well be Caroline.

And that could prove to be a problem...

"I don’t think I know what you’re talking about, Caroline," I remarked, brushing my hair with a hairbrush. "Kaelos might very well never change and I’m learning to live with that already. No big deal."

I said that in real life, but in my head, I felt like I had said something that made me want to claw at my skin.

Anyway, just when Caroline walked toward me and the mirror I was sitting in front of, a knock sounded on the door, causing me to raise an eyebrow before I turned my head to the door.

Who could be knocking so early in the morning? It couldn’t be Kaelos since he left not too long ago.

So... Was it Marcellus perhaps?

"I’ll go get it," Caroline said, rushing from my side and heading to the door.

However, when she opened the door and saw who it was, she gasped, causing me to swerve my head to the door as my eyebrows furrowed into a frown.

"Uh, Caroline? Who is it?" I queried, clutching the brush in my hand tightly and fearing the worst.

After what I faced at the Blood Oak woods, I wasn’t willing to take any chances.

"Pardon me, Luna Queen. G– Good morning." Caroline greeted someone just then, causing my eyes to widen before I squinted them and dropped the hairbrush.

I fixed my gaze on the door now and watched as Celine strutted into my room in a beautiful emerald green day dress and had on light makeup on her face for once.

Oh, was she getting into her ’soft girl era’ already?

"Odessa..." She stepped forward, her gaze scrutinizing me from head to toe. "So, the rumors are true. Not only did you manage to escape the pack last night but now you’re back."

I balled my hands into fists, glancing at Caroline who stood close to the door awkwardly with a lowered gaze.

Well, if she was going to chicken out, I’m definitely not standing for this bullshit today or any other day.

"Good morning to you too, Luna Queen Celine." I greeted her with a slight bow and sarcastic tone, clutching the towel around my body closely.

"Whatever you think about any rumors is correct. As you can see, I’m in the middle of dressing up and getting ready for the day so I don’t have the strength for whatever this is."

Celine’s eyes widened with surprise while Caroline had a proud smile on her face and gave me a thumbs up from behind her.

Well, at least she was my hype man.

Anyway, Celine stared at me for so long that I began scratching the back of my hair awkwardly, thinking that this was soon about to be a conversation about secret desires.

I mean, maybe the real reason why Kaelos’ bitchy ex wife has been so obsessed with me is because she secretly wants kitty cats and not wolves.

’Girl...’ my wolf suddenly muttered in my head, causing a slight smirk to curl up the corner of my lips.

It was nice having a voice in my head so similar to mine.

"I like your new attitude. It suits you." Celine suddenly remarked, giving me a curt nod and causing me to frown.

What the fuck?

"Anyway, I came here to confirm the rumors and also, to inform you of a party I have planned." Celine continued, glancing back at Caroline briefly before she brought her gaze back to me. "It’s an event for the nobles of the pack, meant to... Raise more awareness on the war and its impact on both sides."

Huh?

I fluttered my eyelids with confusion, a little lost.

"Uh, is it a ball or something?" I asked, even though I was still basically confused about why Celine would give a rat’s ass about the war.

She seemed like the kind of person who would want the war to drag on until my kind, witches, are wiped out.

"Yes, it is," Celine responded plainly, parting aside some strands of her hair. "I plan to inform Kaelos about it once he’s back from his little mission in the woods. I mean, it’s already in the planning stage and preparations are being made, but still."

I nodded, feigning interest while all I could wish for was a way to get out of this weird ass conversation.

Luckily, Celine seemed to be done and clapped her hands together before she flashed a smile. "Anyway, I just wanted to let you know. More information will be brought to you if there are any. Good luck, witch."

With that, she proceeded to turn around and walk out of the room, shutting the door behind her.

When she did, Caroline quickly turned her gaze to me and I brought mine to her.

"We’re thinking the same thing, right?" She asked me and I sighed, a wry smile curling up my lips as I nodded.

"Yup." I blurted, clicking my tongue. "She’s up to something."
