Chapter 122: _Couple’s Counseling

Odessa’s POV

*****

The figure standing at the entrance of the room Elder Davina and I were having a conversation in turned out to be Kaelos, who had a pensive look in his eyes.

However, I watched as his eyes softened as soon as he saw me, causing me to blush. Well, until I heard what he had to say.

"I need you for something, Odessa. Now."

I blinked, my lips parting at first until I felt the love bubbles swirling in my stomach disappear in an instant as my eyebrows furrowed into a frown.

"And what could that possibly be?" I queried, folding my arms in front of my chest as I glanced back at Elder Davina.

I watched her give me a subtle wink before she raised her cup of hot tea and took a sip, smacking her lips with satisfaction.

I felt annoyed and turned my gaze back to Kaelos who was about to speak. But before he could, I beat him to it with a question.

"When were you going to tell me that Elder Davina knew about our mate bond? That you told her?" I asked, dimming my eyes and gazing straight into his piercing eyes.

I watched the frown lines on his forehead crumple as he raised an eyebrow and glanced at Elder Davina.

"Hey, don’t look at me except if you’re seeking a couple’s counseling session." Elder Davina said with disinterest and I heard her standing up and grabbing her staff.

I sighed, shaking my head before I walked past Kaelos, strutting out of the room and navigating my way through the residence.

"Well, don’t just stand there! Go after her." I heard Elder Davina yell urgently at Kaelos but I ignored that as I climbed down the stairs.

When I finally got outside, I took a deep breath and was about to walk out of the compound entirely when a hand grabbed me from behind.

I gasped, swerving my head back only to see Kaelos staring at me with confusion.

"Why the heck are you upset now?" He asked with a flabbergasted tone, making me feel like some ’drama queen’.

Well, I’m not!

Just then, in my head, my wolf coughed awkwardly. ’Actually, you are. Quite literally.’

My eyes twitched as I ended up blurting out physically. "Shut up, fur face!"

However, I soon realized my blunder and covered my mouth with my right hand before raising my head and blinking at Kaelos who had an amused expression.

"Well, ouch." He sniggered, taking a few steps forward. "You’re getting feistier by the day. Has someone forgotten that they’re still expecting punishment tonight for their attempt to escape?"

My face heated up with a violent blush and I felt like sinking into the ground at this point.

"I wasn’t talking to you, perv!" I snapped, waving dismissively as I rubbed my forehead with my right hand. "It’s this annoying wolf in my head. She can even hear my thoughts and I feel like I have no privacy."

I grunted, gritting my teeth but my wolf didn’t get the message that she wasn’t needed right now.

Gosh, that sounded so fucking weird. ’My wolf’? What has my life turned into under the span of one bloody night?

’Maybe this way, you can get closer to Kaelos by letting him teach you how to control your werewolf side.’ my wolf said teasingly, causing me to clench my jaw. ’You’re welcome.’

I sighed, shaking my head while Kaelos chuckled.

"I see your inner wolf is also the annoying type. I guess she and Damon will get along pretty well." He remarked, causing me to furrow my eyebrows at first.

But then realization dawned on me and my eyes widened with surprise. "You named your wolf? Werewolves do that?"

I mean... It made sense now that I think about it. If all inner wolves were like mine, then they were pretty much sentient and intelligent.

"Well, most werewolves do that. It’s complicated." Kaelos said, rubbing his chin before he waved his hand dismissively. "Now are you done with your previous temper tantrum so I can show you what I wanted to?"

The bastard just had to ruin the mood!

I eyed him from his head to his toes before I shook my head, folding my arms in front of my chest.

"Temper tantrum, eh? Kaelos, you told Elder Davina about you know what all this while and didn’t see it fit to tell me. Someone else who isn’t your annoying self knew about this overwhelming bond, and you kept that from me."

He parted his lips, his eyebrows crumpling at the corners but I didn’t give him the chance to explain anything.

"I’ve contemplated telling Caroline for so long because I felt... Alone. We talk about almost everything together, except the true nature of my relationship with you. And she’s a werewolf too and she’ll be able to–"

"Alright, you win!" Kaelos interrupted, yelling out with a grunt as he rubbed his forehead with his right hand.

I was stunned at first, fluttering my eyelids at him until he continued.

"I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about Elder Davina. You can tell Caroline as well... As long as you can guarantee that she’ll keep it a secret anyway."

I was taken aback, almost speechless. Kaelos saying ’I’m sorry’? Was I dreaming?

After managing to regain my composure, I nodded with a small smile curling up my lips. "Y– Yes, I can. I trust Caroline so much and it’s so–"

"Anyway, now that we have that out of the way, it’s my turn to rant." Kaelos interrupted me once again as he shoved his right hand into the inner pockets of his suit.

My eyes twitched and I felt the urge to slap him and walk away, but I was too focused on the excitement I felt at the thought of finally having people I could relate my relationship life with.

Kaelos finally brought out what he wanted to show me, which happened to be a plastic bag with a strand of hair inside it.

I blinked with confusion at first but that turned to bewilderment when I heard what he had to say next.

"I want you to track down the person who owns this hair. It’s Tonka. From last night."

My skin crawled with disgust and a chilling fear gripped me when I remembered the rogue werewolf from last night, causing me to take a step back subconsciously.
