Odessa's POV
*****
When Kaelos got on the stage and gave his speech, I watched with pride, joining the people to clap.
However, there was tension in my mind, especially after I got yet another ominous text from the anonymous number.
"Smile for the cameras, little witch." That was what the text read.
I forwarded it immediately to Kaelos, trying to silently give myself hope that this meant the person didn't know of my hybrid nature. Wait, no, it's not a "person".
It's CELINE. And I'm dumb for thinking anything else.
When Kaelos joined me and we discussed our next move, the auction segment of the ball was interrupted after a video that caused a shiver to run down my spine was played on the projector screen.
It was a video of Marcellus and me on my balcony, the night when I tried to escape. I was tense, sweating as I wondered where it was going... Until we kissed.
Marcellus and I kissed in the video!
