Chapter 169: _When Two Become One
"You visited Odessa and you believed her words?" I questioned Elder Davina, my voice filled with hesitation.
She nodded in response, tightening her grip on her staff. "Yes. And she’s hurting, Kaelos. Hybrid or not, she’s still your mate and I even found out you marked her."
I bit my bottom lip, looking away from her before I blurted. "That... Was a mistake. But what significance does the mark provide for an Alpha King and his mate?"
She paused, arching an eyebrow at first before she spoke.
"The mating mark between an Alpha King and his mate is more complicated than anything else in the werewolf world. It strengthens the mate bond to unprecedented levels, essentially making the term ’two become one’ quite literal."
Two become one...?
’This explains why you could feel our mate’s emotions at the ball.’ Damon muttered in my head just then. ’And also another reason why I still can’t believe you would believe Celine over Odessa.’
’I don’t believe Celine over anyone.’ I responded mentally, clenching my jaw. ’I’m trying to seek the truth here. Odessa’s closeness with Marcellus might’ve been suspicious... But all this isn’t adding up.’
Yes, it was weird that I had found Marcellus unconscious in Odessa’s room the night of her escape. But what was also weird was the fact that Celine just happened to get "footage."
"Anyway, whatever decision you come up with, all I can do is give you a gentle nudge." Elder Davina blurted, clearing her throat and smiling at me. "Good luck, Alpha King. And remember the moon goddess’ advice about you and Odessa."
With that, she turned away from me and walked into her residence, her robe flowing elegantly behind her.
