Chapter 68: _Can’t A Girl Catch A Break?
Odessa’s POV
*****
After the chaos that ensued from the attack by that random witch, with Marcellus taking the hit of a magic arrow that was aimed at me and the South American Alpha King being poisoned by wolfsbane, I was tasked once again to prove my worth.
Much to the obvious displeasure of Kaelos, I went to the Blood Oak woods alongside a few guards sent to protect me.
My main mission there was to gather the necessary ingredients for a potion meant to cleanse Marcellus’ system from the corruption of the magic arrow and to remove the wolfsbane poisoning from Alpha King Leonardo.
But unbeknownst to the pack soldiers who escorted me to the woods, I gathered a few extra ingredients that had no business with my current mission.
"Hurry up!" One of the pack soldiers yelled out with an agitated voice as I squatted to pluck a peculiar-looking red flower.
But I ignored the man, scrutinizing the flower closely.
My lips soon curled up into a smirk. This was the last ingredient I needed for another little... ’project’ I have in mind.
"How sure are we that she’s not somehow affiliated with the witch responsible for the attack?" Another pack soldier said with a low tone but apparently, it wasn’t low enough since I could hear him.
At that point, I kept the red flower in a pouch I’d carried along with me where I kept other ingredients.
