~ODETTE

I made my way down the stairs and stopped at the kitchen once more.

"Is everything ready?" I asked.

Clara and the rest of the maids bowed to me.

"They all are, my Lady," Clara announced.

"Remember, when the ceremony begins, have the maids come in with refreshments that will act as starters before the main courses," I instructed.

"I understand, my Lady."

I released a shaky breath once more to push down the nervousness before heading to the hall where the Soiree was being hosted.

  • Claimed by my Ex's Ruthless Uncle   28. THE SECOND TEST

    ~ODETTEThe car was uneasily quiet but the silence was loud. I could feel Rafael's eyes on me as Gaius drove us to the goddess-knows-where. "Are you just going to keep staring at me like that?" I finally said when I could barely it no longer. My wolf stirred within me and I brought my eyes to him. His eyes were narrowed now as he studied me. As if doing that was going to be enough to unravel the meaning of me. "Just how much are you hiding?" He finally asked. I remained calm, I was not going to give anything away. "Nothing." He raised a brow at me. "You are a skilled liar. It makes one wonder what is really true about you." I smiled. "The world is cruel and little girls like me have to survive." "So you are admitting to being a liar." "There is nothing to admit, your highness," I answered immediately. He didn't speak again but his thoughts were loud. I was glad that I had intrigued him enough to have him thinking about me even when I was sitting right next to him. We drov

  • Claimed by my Ex's Ruthless Uncle   27. THE FINAL OBSTACLE

    ~ODETTEI released a heavy breath as I stood before the crowd. They were all cheering for me. One would not believe that these people had all been against me moments again. It was almost as if I had finally earned their love. "The last person who touched my heart like this. . ." The Alpha King continued as he watched me with what mirrored worship in his eyes. "Was the late Wolf Queen. My one and only Luna." Goosebumps scattered across my skin. I had never been recognized publicly like this— especially by the Alpha King himself. My body began to tremble with emotions I could not explain. "Well-done, Odette," he added before falling back into his seat. The lights had all come back on by now and I was glad to see that all the guests were getting served. I only hoped that the neutralizing herbs I had used wouldn't alter the taste of the soups so much that it angers the guests once more. I was about to walk away from the center when Layla cleared her throat. "That was a beautiful

  • Claimed by my Ex's Ruthless Uncle   26. THE PERFORMANCE

    ~ODETTEMurmurs and whispers filled the hall as they all turned to face me. If I paid close attention, then I might have probably heard what they were saying. Then again, I didn't have to hear to know what they were saying. I already knew it. They were restless and hungry. They were getting offended that their food hadn't come yet. "Bring out the food this instant!" Maria ordered. It was surprising that this woman still had the guts to yell at me despite having faced humiliation at the hand of the Alpha King. I took an intimidating step toward her, while keeping my face straight and impenetrable. "You seem to have forgotten your place, Maria. Might I remind you?" I demanded as I glared straight into her eyes. She widened her eyes at me before blinking multiple times. "I— I am s— simply doing my job. Pe— people have to eat and you are depriving them of food." I took another step forward and this time, it got to her so much that she took a subconscious step backwards in retreat

    ~ODETTEMy heart skipped two beats at the news. My wolf froze. "What do you mean by that?" I asked in a voice way too calm for the situation that I was in. "Come see for yourself," Clara said as she began to lead the way. I followed her without any objections. "I was just beginning to serve the food when one of the maids asked if she could eat something now. She was just done with the food when she suddenly started throwing up and writhing with pain," she explained. My eyes went wide. Someone poisoned the food. There was only one person who could do this. Layla.We walked down the corridors until we entered the one which led to the kitchen. I entered to see all the maids who had been working on the food just standing there in fear. There were different pots of vegetable soups ranging from turkey, muitton and even catfish. Lastly, there was white rice.Without waiting for Clara to explain further, I grabbed a small plate and a spoon to eat it myself. "My Lady! What are you do

    ~ODETTEI stared at the Alpha King in disbelief. Did he just stand up for me?Why would he do that?The entire hall fell silent and everyone waited for the Alpha King to give his verdict. "From the moment that host walked in and began to criticize everything Odette created today, up until the elders— who I must say that I am disappointed in— I came to a conclusion that you are all unwilling to see the beauty in what she has done here today!" The hall exclaimed. My shock grew. He approved of what I did here today?"There is absolutely nothing wrong with the arrangements here tonight," he continued. "In fact, I feel like it is a welcome improvement from the original colors that the Skull Palace has been using. She made us see that new things are exactly what we need. Perhaps, this palace is about to become more lively and fun to exist in!" He ended it with a big satisfied smile on his face. There was silence for a long while as everyone started staring at each other before one of t

  • Claimed by my Ex's Ruthless Uncle   23. SOIREE II 

    ~ODETTEThe hall suddenly exclaimed. Everyone scampered to their feet and my heart skipped. How was the Alpha King here? He barely ever showed up for things like this, only super important ones and this did not top any chart in terms of importance. Either way, I smirked at Adrian. "You were saying?" He gritted his teeth visibly and walked back to Camille. For someone already set to inherit the throne, he was way too desperate for it. I instantly walked away from Adrian and his family before hurrying over to the entrance. The rest of the ushers followed my lead and we stood before the Alpha King to welcome him. When I was sure that I finally had his attention, I made my move. "My Alpha King," I instantly bowed and went down on my knees. "It's an honor to have you grace us with your presence today." The Alpha walked up to me. "Arise child, you do not need to kneel before me. You are now a Skull, just like me and I am glad to see you safe and sound, after marrying my mad son." I
