Chapter 14: _Holding Back
Kaelos POV
*****
I had faith in Beta Marcellus and trusted him to keep a close eye on Odessa while I handled other matters.
Other matters like this bitch, Celine, and her mother giving me a headache the morning after my wedding to my so-called 'witch bride'.
"Anyway, Alpha King, could we take our discussion somewhere private?" Madame Greyheart spoke with that aggravating voice that I'd grown to hate.
I glanced at Odessa and then briefly at Marcellus who gave me a discreet nod before I turned my back on them and waltzed away, heading to my office upstairs.
Unfortunately, I could hear Celine and her mother following behind me, and I had to keep myself from lashing out or losing control.
"You didn't respond to any of my calls or texts, Alpha King." Madame Greyheart began when we got to the stairs.
I didn't even bother glancing back at her before I responded plainly. "We're at war, Madame Greyheart. My assistants are always busy sorting out calls of the most importance to avoid neglecting issues that need urgent attention."
Or, in simple terms, I was ignoring her ass and couldn't care less if she jumped off the grand canyon or something.
Anyway, we walked past a few maids as I navigated my way to the last floor where my suite, my office, the Luna's office and rooms, and my private study were located.
