Chapter 17: _The Lion’s Den
Odessa's POV

I stared out of the window, my hand on my jaw as I thought about everything that's happened within the span of a day.

From my interaction with Celine and her mother to the altercation with that bitter tomato vendor at the marker, and then finally, the Beta telling me about 'trials' I'll have to prepare for.
What trials?
No one told me about any trials.
"Beta Marcellus?" I couldn't take the silence and called his attention with a somber tone.
He glanced back briefly before he placed his attention back on something on his iPad. "Yes, Dessa. Anything you have in mind?" He asked.
Dessa?
