Chapter 231: _Enemy Among Them
Marcellus’ POV
*****
While Odessa and Kaelos were probably out there enjoying their field trip in Mexico, he was stuck here in the Blood Oak pack dealing with the fallout that came after the riot.
Well, to be fair, he’s the one who manipulated the people to turn the protest into something violent and chaotic, but hey... He was bored.
A little death here and there never hurt anyone— well, except for the people it did hurt.
After the riots, Marcellus, Elder Davina, Layla and High priestess Althea were standing just outside the Alpha King’s mansion.
It was nighttime, and there was still simmering tension left from the riot. Everyone present had solemn expressions on their faces and was silent for a while.
Until...
"I called the Alpha King and informed him of the riot." Layla began, clearing her throat. "He said he’ll handle it when he and the Luna Queen get back."
"Handle it?" Althea repeated as she gestured at the compound gates. "Look at that. Do you see the blood at the gates?"
All eyes went there and indeed, the blood of the guards and civilians who had been close to the compound gate during the riot still lingered like dry paint.
