Chapter 63: _Failed
"Sir, ma’am Odessa and the guards are here with the ingredients for the potions," Layla reported hastily from the other end when I picked up the call. "Also, the South American King just woke up. He’s asking for you."
Shit...
While I felt an odd sense of relief knowing Odessa was back safe and sound, I hadn’t expected that the concoction Elder Davina made for wolfsbane poisoning would work well enough to wake Alpha King Leonardo.
"Looks like you’re going to be busy." Celine suddenly muttered, forcing me to turn my gaze to her.
She had a mischievous smirk on her face, causing me to clench my jaw before I responded to Layla.
"Tell him I’m on my way." I blurted to Layla before I hung up, my gaze now fixed completely on Celine.
She took a few steps forward, causing me to physically recoil. That recoil only worsened when she stretched her hands forward to touch my face, but she didn’t seem to care about my reactions as she brought her mouth to my ears.
"I’ll get you back one day, Kaelos. My Alpha king." She said with a soft voice but instead of making me feel any sense of comfort, I felt a surge of irritation from deep within me.
With that, she gave me a wink and patted me on my cheek before she brushed past me and walked out of the alleyway like nothing happened.
I didn’t bother glancing back at her, instead hearing the sound of her stiletto heels echoing against the stone floor.
I raised my head and stared at the night sky before I sighed heavily.
