Chapter 161: _Magic, Chaos And Marcellus
Marcellus’ POV
*****
Okay, he knew Celine was up to something diabolical from the start when she first invited him to this charity ball. But what he didn’t expect was for her to implicate him in the process of bringing down Odessa’s reputation.
The night had been going smoothly, too, and he even had a dance with Odessa where he was able to probe her and spot the glowing mate mark on her neck.
So she and Kaelos had taken things to the next level already, eh?
Unfortunately, when Celine hijacked the event and played a video of him and Odessa kissing on her balcony, he knew something was off.
That video was fake as fuck, but it was realistic and compelling enough to the unsuspecting onlookers. He has to admit, the editing was good.
Too good.
That alone told him that it wasn’t the work of technology... but of magic. But who did he know who could cast an illusion spell so powerful and deceitful that it could even affect an Alpha King and witches?
Meanwhile, Kaelos didn’t hesitate and ended up attacking him, flinging him around like a rag doll and pummeling him to the ground until he felt every bone in his body shatter.
Marcellus felt like he was losing his breath as he tried to stand against the brute strength of the Alpha King while holding back from retaliating.
