Chapter 154: You’re Not His Mate... Right?
"Mind if I join in?"
"Uh..." I fluttered my eyelids, staring at Marcellus’ piercing green eyes. He was scrutinizing me, waiting for my response to his request.
’It’s just a dance, right?’ I thought to myself, plastering an awkward smile on my face.
However, Sirena thought differently and immediately howled in protest. ’It’s not just a dance. We’ve barely had a chance to stick close to our mate because that bitch is hoarding all his time.’
Oh... Kaelos!
I glanced at him and Celine and saw that he had already begun withdrawing his hands from her, while she giggled and whispered more things to him.
The tense expression on Kaelos’ face told me that he was beyond uncomfortable and agitated.
"Dessa?" Marcellus called my attention again, his voice oddly suggestive. "Come on, it’s just a dance. The Alpha King wouldn’t mind. After all, you aren’t his mate, right?"
A cold shiver ran down my spine after he asked that question. I glanced around and spotted a few people glancing at us with furrowed eyebrows, causing me to get self-conscious.
’What the fuck was that statement about?’ Sirena nearly exclaimed, but I ignored her, drawing in a deep breath as I reluctantly grabbed Marcellus’ hand.
When I did, I turned my gaze to Caroline and nodded subtly, tilting my head and signalling her to still keep an eye on Celine.
