Chapter 192: _Final Verdict
There was a deafening silence after my last declaration. The coven elders glanced among themselves, but this time they didn’t seem to speak with words.
They were clearly having a conversation mentally.
I got agitated and was about to call them out on it when Odessa’s voice suddenly echoed in my mind.
’Kaelos, as much as I appreciate you for speaking up for me, I don’t want to escalate things. You’re trying to make peace beyond this truce, remember?’
Oh, yes. I remember all too well.
But back then, I never imagined that the "witch" I would pick as a symbol of the truce through marriage would turn out to be my mate and a Hybrid.
Things are different now. Much different.
’The continent loves pointing fingers at easier targets and you’re the easy target in this case.’ I said with a plain tone. ’You were pregnant during that fight with Lucinda, Odessa. What if something had happened to our unborn child?’
The fact that we were expecting a child after all these things were happening simultaneously was crazy to me. For starters, I never imagined that I would have a child with a witch.
Talk less of a Hybrid.
Just thinking about how important and powerful the child could become made me increasingly nervous.
