Caroline's POV
*****
The next day came quickly... Fortunately.
And with it came Alpha King Kaelos' speech to the world addressing the video of him killing his father.
Although Caroline observed the Alpha King and the way he handled a man who was subtly against his rule for a while... Her main focus was on Marcellus and Layla.
She stood on Odessa's balcony, squinting her eyes keenly. She noticed the way the two of them stood close to each other behind Odessa and Kaelos.
"That's... Odd." Caroline whispered, placing her hands on the railing of the balcony.
Neither of them said anything to each other or had any form of interaction. Not even a side glance.
Yet, Caroline couldn't shake off this ominous feeling that something was off.
'Do you think Marcellus got to her somehow?' Vilda asked her mentally, causing her mind to reel.
Got to her?
"Wait a minute..." Caroline's face paled as her lips parted. "He couldn't have possibly cast a mind manipulation spell on her. Right?"
