Chapter 196: _Power Vacuum
Marcellus’ POV
*****
After getting rid of Celine on the night of the attempted coup, which also doubled as the night of the incident at the Charity Ball, Marcellus decided to take a break.
By a "break" he mostly just gave everyone the illusion that he was still healing from Kaelos’ attack on him during the Charity Ball, even though he had pretty much recovered.
The ironic thing was how Kaelos was now the one struggling to recover after Celine AND Gamma Zane stabbed him with silver daggers and he was attacked by traitorous pack soldiers.
Unfortunately, on the evening after the night of the Charity Ball, the Delta and the military advisor paid Marcellus a little welfare visit.
"Well, this is a..." Marcellus paused while sitting in his living room after Cullen ushered in Delta Axel and the Military advisor Jeremiah.
The two men, both at least in their late forties, wore blood red military uniforms with the pack emblem on their pockets.
Marcellus was drinking a glass of margarita when they walked in. Talk about bad timing.
"Sorry to interrupt your healing process, Beta." The Delta cleared his throat, glancing briefly at the military advisor before he continued. "But with the Alpha King still recovering from Gamma Zane’s attack, we need to discuss something."
Marcellus was about to take a sip from the margarita but then paused. He flicked his gaze briefly to Cullen who was standing behind the two men with a knowing smirk on his face.
