Chapter 99: _Another Secret To Keep
"I need to tell you something before we go in," I said solemnly to Odessa as we stood outside the gates of the Blood Oak pack.
She glanced at me wearily, arching an eyebrow before she asked. "Uh, okay. What’s that?"
I took a few steps forward, causing her to tense up as she stared at me with growing confusion.
When my mouth was finally a few inches away from her ear, I finally spoke what was in my mind.
"Under no circumstances can anyone find out about your... True heritage."
I felt how her body stiffened after I said that but I was sure she understood why I was saying it.
A werewolf and a witch hybrid was seen as an aberration of the natural order and hated by both races.
There haven’t been any true hybrids seen in over a century or so. If Odessa truly had a werewolf side... Then her life was in danger and she might not only be threatened by the werewolves but also her fellow witches and humans.
"I understand your worry, but seriously, Kaelos..." She suddenly let out a sigh, shaking her head. "The secrets are becoming too much to keep to myself. First, the mate bond, and now this?"
She lowered her head, making me clench my jaw as I thought about what to say. However, when I parted my lips to speak, a sharp pain shot through my body once again, forcing me to grit my teeth and clutch my right shoulder.
There was a slash mark there, dripping with blood that I thought was drying up. Supernatural attacks from other supernatural beings were hard to heal, even for my super fast Alpha King healing factor.
