Chapter 24: _Luna Celine
"You’re joking, right?" Odessa asked with squinted eyes as she got back on her feet. "How do you expect me to ’decipher’ anything in this case? For a crime that you know damn well that I didn’t–"
"But the rest of the pack will think you did it if we don’t prove them otherwise." I snapped, causing her to jerk back a little.
She gritted her teeth but kept silent, her violet eyes staring into mine with disdain burning in them.
But apart from disdain, there was something else.
Was that... Regret?
’Oh, snap!’ Damon sniggered inside my head. ’Does she regret our time together this morning?’
I clenched my jaw at the thought but didn’t let my irritation show, instead pointing a finger at Odessa.
"Listen. You’re a witch, whether powerless or not. You should have some knowledge on these things at least and be able to prove your worth to the pack." I pointed out, my tone a bit calmer now. "If you can’t even do that... Then the truce will be dissolved."
Odessa remained silent despite those words but she seemed visibly disturbed by the idea.
Ignoring that, I turned around and walked back to the Alpha council members and Elder Davina.
They swerved their gazes to me simultaneously, their eyes glinting with curiosity.
