Chapter 112: _The Hybrid Prophecy

"Odessa! Just the person I was looking for." Elder Davina had a smile on her face as she stepped forward and scrutinized me.

My eyelids fluttered awkwardly as I glanced around before turning my gaze back to her and plastering a smile at her. We haven’t interacted a lot but I knew she was chill compared to other werewolves.

"Uh, is there a problem, Elder?" I asked curiously, glancing one last time at the threatening text on my phone before I fixed my gaze on her.

She tilted her head, tightening her hold on her staff before she chuckled softly. "Dearie me, must there be a problem for me to see you?"

I joined her in chuckling, although mine was more forced and awkward.

I waited patiently for her to say something else but nothing would’ve prepared me for when she finally spoke up.

"Anyway, would you mind following me for a stroll back to my residence? We can have tea when we get there."

Oh...

I scratched the back of my head hesitantly before I eventually nodded in agreement. "Sure. I’ll love that."

I didn’t want to be rude...

Wth that, I tagged along with Elder Davina, walking beside her as we stepped out of the compound first before making a turn headed for her mansion.

"I like your spirit, Odessa." She suddenly blurted, causing me to glance at her with a raised eyebrow.

My face heated up with a blush as I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly before I responded. "Thank you, ma’am. But is there any specific reason why you said that?"

She paused when I said that, forcing me to stop as well as I fixed my gaze on her, dimming my eyes expectantly.

She scrutinized me for a while, making me feel exposed and like I was naked. Why the heck was her gaze so intense?

"Even despite all the allegations on your head since your arrival, you’ve navigated your way through it all without breaking." She finally said, but when I heard that, I couldn’t help but chuckle softly before shaking my head.

"No offense, ma’am, but I literally ran away yesterday after drugging the Beta with a potion," I said with a sigh, shaking my head. "If that’s not ’breaking’ I don’t know what is."

We continued walking, passing by a few lavish compounds with elite buildings and cars.

A few people walked past us and greeted Elder Davina while they gave me disdainful looks.

"The fact that you haven’t snapped at anyone bullying you or degrading you for whatever reason tells a lot, Odessa. Not to mention dealing with the Alpha King." Elder Davina said with a knowing smile, glancing at me. "Speaking of which, I don’t think he told you already but I know."

I furrowed my eyebrows, confused about what she meant by that last part.

She noticed my confusion and elaborated after scanning her gaze around and lowering her voice. "I know about the mate bond. The Alpha King confided in me."

My eyes widened with shock as I paused in my tracks, staring at Elder Davina wearily. If she knew about my mate’s bond with Kaelos, that would make her the only other person to know.

And if that was the case...

"Has Kaelos told anyone else?" I asked, causing elder Davina to glance back at me.

She squinted her eyes at first before shaking her head. "No, not that I’m aware of. He seemed really hesitant to tell me before he did. Not to mention, he’s made it clear that he doesn’t want anyone else knowing about it."

I nodded my understanding as we continued walking once again after Elder Davina gestured at me reassuringly.

As we arrived at Elder Davina’s residence, she led me to a cozy room on the top floor, with an open ceiling covered by a glass dome and plants surrounding the place, alongside a warm fireplace.

The aroma of brewing tea filled the air, and I couldn’t help but feel an unexplainable sense of comfort.

"Please, Odessa, sit down," Elder Davina said, gesturing to a comfy-looking carpet.

I sat down, feeling a bit more at ease as I adjusted my clothes. Elder Davina poured us each a cup of tea and handed me one.

"Thank you," I said, staring at the tea at first before taking a sip of the soothing liquid.

Elder Davina smiled and sat down across from me. "I’m glad we could have this little chat, Odessa. I must say, I’m intrigued by you."

I raised an eyebrow, curious about what she meant.

"Intrigued?" I repeated, smiling awkwardly.

Elder Davina nodded in response, her eyes observing me curiously. "Yes. The moon goddess has a way of bringing people together for a reason. If she could pair the Alpha King with a witch like you, that gives me hope about a prophecy I’ve been studying."

My heart skipped a beat as I listened to her words. Could she be talking about the same prophecy I suspected?

"What prophecy?" I asked, leaning forward slightly.

Elder Davina’s eyes glinted with excitement before she cleared her throat and continued. "One that speaks of a hybrid putting an end to the war. A being with the strength of a werewolf and the powerful magic of a witch."

I felt a shiver run down my spine. Could it be? Was I the hybrid she spoke of?

I’ve been thinking about this since this morning when I remembered an old prophecy that was told to me by my mother as a kid.

The prophecy was a cautionary tale about hybrids and their potentially devastating power. It talked about how a hybrid could change the course of the war, bringing either peace or world-ending devastation.

I didn’t think much about it before because I saw it as just a bedtime story all those years ago, but now?

Just as I considered revealing my true nature to Elder Davina, I heard approaching footsteps. The door to the room opened, and a figure stood in the doorway.
