Chapter 157: _Illusion Of Festivity
When I was finally able to grab Odessa away from Marcellus, I noticed something strange.
The mate mark on her neck was glowing faintly. The more confusing part was when Odessa admitted that she could feel my jealousy while dancing with Marcellus.
But then she went ahead to reveal something that had me stumped.
"Five days ago, I got an anonymous text telling me that the whole pack will know my secret today. Celine threw this Charity Ball TODAY." She said in a panic after I asked her what was bothering her.
An anonymous text? And she didn’t let me know about it.
’Hey, give the girl a break. She probably didn’t want to stress you out with all the work you’ve been doing.’ Damon muttered in my head, but I nearly snapped at him.
’Stress me? THIS right here, telling me about some anonymous text and the possibility of my ex-wife being the one who sent it is the real stress.’
I sighed as the lights in the event hall dimmed down and only a single spotlight remained shining on the stage.
I glanced at the stage and spotted Layla signalling to me discreetly.
It’s time for me to give an opening speech for the Charity Ball...
"I’ll deal with Celine later." I blurted to Odessa, clenching my jaw. "But for now, stay put and don’t do anything stupid."
