<h4>Chapter 89: _Find Her!</h4>


    Kaelos’ POV


    *****


    "Where is she? Where is Odessa?!" I snarled, sniffing frantically around her room as I stepped inside.


    Marcellus groaned as he struggled to get up from the floor to no avail. Odessa couldn’t have knocked him out by herself unless... Someone else did and then kidnapped her.


    Either that or she poisoned him.


    The only way I could find out would be to wake Marcellus.


    "Marcellus? Marcellus, wake up, man!" I growled, squatting to the ground and shoving his body to wake him up. "Where’s Odessa? She’s nowhere to be found!"


    Marcellus groggily opened his eyes as he stared at me, his breathing finallying back to normal as he sighed heavily.


    "I– I’m sorry, Kaelos." He muttered, grunting before he sat up and rubbed his forehead. "She... She drugged me with a potion. I’m sure of it. I was here hanging out with her and we were taking some wine when I felt a pain in my stomach. The next thing I knew, I was on the floor struggling to breathe."


    I gritted my teeth as I tried to wrap my head around his exnation.

    Meanwhile, Damon sniggered in my head before he spoke yfully. ’Oh, they were hanging out, eh?’


    I clicked my tongue before I berated him mentally. ’Knock it off, Damon! We need to find that stubborn mate of ours.’


    To my surprise, Damon’s yful tone disappeared and was reced with a serious one as he snapped.


    ’What? Do you think I’m not worried about her? If I had my way, I’d say you just let mee out so we can find her faster. You know our tracking skills are much better when I’m out.’


    I clenched my jaw but didn’t say anything in response as I stood up from Marcellus’ side, brushing my hand through my hair.


    Shifting into my wolf was ast resort that I hadn’t used in a long time for good reasons.


    The wolf of an Alpha king was a beast far more powerful than any other werewolf or Alpha. But as for Damon in particr... He was a harbinger of pure chaos.


    Even after all these years, I still found it hard to control his insatiable bloodlust whenever I shifted. He was part of the reason why people imed I feasted on my enemies...


    Just then, La ran into the room, scanning her gaze around before she focused her attention on me.


    "She escaped," I said bluntly, grounding my jaw before I turned my gaze to her. "Inform the Gamma at once and let him know that I want as many pack soldiers as possible out of this pack searching for her."


    La seemed hesitant after I said that, causing my eyebrows to furrow into a frown as I tilted my head.


    "Have you gone deaf or mute, La?" I queried, unable to control my anger anymore.


    She lowered her gaze, her body trembling slightly with fear before she cleared her throat and spoke.


    "B– But, sir, wouldn’t sending out our menpromise the safety of the pack? Especially after the attack from that witchst night and the murder of the pack doctor’s wife."


    My eyes twitched with frustration before I flung my arms into the air. "Well, it’s not as if the pack soldiers were of any use during those situations! So let them put themselves to use now!" I roared, my voice thundering and causing the room to shake.


    La took a few steps back, her eyes quivering with terror while Marcellus kept on grunting on the floor.


    Even without Damon, my Alpha King powers were still pretty terrifying to the average werewolf.


    "Kaelos, you have to calm down and keep a clear head." Marcellus suddenly blurted, forcing me to turn my gaze to him.


    He slowly got on his feet, shaking his head while rubbing his forehead.


    "I’m sure any witch capable of knocking me out with potions would be able to take care of herself out there just fine."


    I shed a sarcastic smile at him before I responded. "She took you by surprise, Marcellus. There’s only so much the element of surprise can do out there. Especially if..."


    I paused, tensing up as my gaze went to her room’s balcony.


    I walked past Marcellus, heading to the balcony and cing my hands on the railing when I got there.


    I nced at the moon first before my gaze fell to the ground. I concentrated, sniffing into the air and relying on the blowing night wind to catch her scent.


    Eventually, I was able to catch her scent and got a visual imagination of what happened and how she escaped.


    She seemed to have headed out of the mansion through a car and then drove toward... The main gates of the pack.


    "She’s gone out of the pack already," I said with a tense tone as I nced back at the room where La and Marcellus stood and stared at me with concern.


    "I don’t give a rat’s ass about what you said earlier. A few hours should be enough for the pack soldiers to head out and search for her." I blurted, my voice rising with each word before I finally added. "Find her!"


    Without another word, I turned my gaze away from them and jumped out of the balcony, the night breeze blowing against my body until Inded on the ground.


    I grunted, drawing in a deep breath as Damon howled inside me.


    ’Are you still sure you don’t want meing out?’ He queried, his tone filled with uncertainty and devoid of his usual yfulness.


    I shook my head as I kept on walking but I added mentally. ’Just give me a little boost once in a while. She shouldn’t have gone far... I hope.’


    With that, I sprinted, heading to thepound gate.


    The guards there gave way without saying anything, although their faces were filled with confusion as they watched me bolt out of thepound.


    "Kaelos!" A female voice suddenly yelled out from within thepound, forcing me to pause just then.


    I nced back only to see Celine scurrying toward me, clutching her dress as she did.


    "M– My Alpha king." She breathed out when she got in front of me, ignoring the cold look I gave her. "Where are you running off to? You haven’t had dinner yet and it’s getting–"


    Before she could finish talking, I lowered my head to meet her gaze, watching as her eyes widened with surprise when my face was mere inches away from her.


    "Stay out of my way, Celine."


    My warning was simple but clear and I didn’t bother saying anything else as I continued running, picking up speed until I was sprinting just a little faster than an average wolf.
