My Salvation | ✔️

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

I stilled at her question, "One, Alpha Reed. Two, why do you want to know?" I asked, my eyes narrowing.

My fists were clenched until prickles of white showed on my hands. I was very tempted to punch her, but I didn't.

I wasn't sure if she was an enemy yet. What happened to her saying she was my friend?

She shrugged, "We're all friends, aren't we? We want to know each other better. I mean... how your mother passed away several years ago was a mystery. The council thinks she committed suicide, but I think there's a deeper reason behind it, don't you agree?" she asked, a sad frown forming.

As she asked, all the girls leaned closer to hear my answer.

Of course, they would be interested.

They weren't there, and I was.

"Look, I can't answer that. My father just passed away like, what? 2 days ago? I'm already suffering enough. You're overstepping boundaries for that, Odette. Keep going, and there will be severe consequences."

Odette seemed taken aback by my threat, her eyes wide as she frowned.

I sighed, looking at everyone else. "It's a game, but it shouldn't make people uncomfortable."

Vivian, Mela, and Serena put their heads down in shame, apologizing to me. Odette muttered an apology but didn't seem genuine as she rolled her eyes.

Yeah, it's suspicious.

That, or she's a two-faced bitch.

I thought as I attempted to erase the tension by asking, "So, how did your parents meet, Serena?"

Serena's color returned to her cheeks as she smiled brightly.

"Mom found Dad first because of his scent!" She exclaimed.

Vivian cocked a brow, "His scent? What did it smell like?"

She bit her lip, attempting to hide a chuckle, "He smelled like bacon. When Mom followed the scent into the pack house, she saw him chatting with the alpha, and their eyes met. The first thing she said was, 'You smell like a damn bacon, the hell?' to my father."

Mela rolled around in laughter, spilling the popcorn.

"Mmm, have to love bacon," Mela commented.

Vivian shook her head in disgust, "Not me. It's too oily for me."

Serena shrugged, "Anyways, mom can never get enough of him since of the Bacon smell."

Mela started wiggling her eyebrows suggestively, but Serena only rolled her eyes in return. Serena then asked Vivian what her first time was like with Corbyn, and so forth.

Mela was going to ask Odette how many porn shows she watched, but she didn't want to answer.

Finally, Odette moved to me and asked how my parents met.

Why was she so keen on asking me about my background?
