Chapter 80 of "The Alpha King's Witch Bride" unveils a new twist: Chapter 80: _Going To Get A Headache "They call him the ’True Lord of the North’."... See what happens!

Chapter 80: _Going To Get A Headache "They call him the ’True Lord of the North’." The female Alpha said solemnly. I glanced around at the other Alphas who remained silent even though their facial expressions and the tension in their eyes told me that they had a lot to say about this ominous figure. "The true lord of the North, eh?" I mumbled with a snigger, shaking my head as I rubbed my chin with the fingers of my right hand. "So, someone’s trying to start an uprising and take my position? Is that what you’re saying?" The female Alpha parted her lips, uncertainty in her eyes before she nodded. "That seems to be the case. We don’t know much about him but we know that these rogues place him on a pedestal." I dimmed my eyes while turning to Damon in my mind. ’Well, what do you think?’ I asked him. However, he didn’t seem bothered at all by the news and spoke dismissively. ’I say we fish out and kill as many of this guy’s followers as possible. Or simply send out a bounty hunt for his ass. It’s not much of an issue, to be honest.’ He has to be kidding. Not much of an issue? ’What do you think other people will think if I become complacent while someone else out there is using my title so freely?’ I queried, clenching my jaw. My father had never gotten into such a situation during his reign... The most that would happen back then would be a few protests from Alphas here and there. And each time, he either resolved things with them diplomatically... Or slaughtered them and anyone who as much as smiled at their ideas against him. I knew this because the man had made sure to make me involved in every process of his rule for as long as I can remember, exposing me to war, gore, and the harsh realities of this world. He saw it as a privilege... But it was one of the reasons why I loathed his ass even in his death. Anyway, Damon grunted in my mind before he spoke. ’Then just send out word to all the Alphas in the region and tell them to heighten their security or something. You can’t baby them all the time. And besides...’ He paused, causing me to arch an eyebrow. I already had an idea of what he was going to say next, but I simply waited since the conversation had only taken a few seconds so far. ’... We have more important matters to attend to. Like a certain mate who you said you’d make efforts to be more vulnerable around.’ And there it is... I shook my head before I focused my attention back on the Alphas. "Has any of the packs reporting this managed to capture a rogue at least? Or recognize anyone?" I questioned, folding my arms in front of my chest. Unfortunately, the middle-aged Alpha among them shook his head before speaking up. "No, Alpha King. A few have tried but these rogues are ruthless. Some have resorted to even killing themselves when captured." A shiver ran through my body as I thought more about this. If they were killing themselves then that was a bad sign. It meant these rogues believed in their leader so much that they could kill for his cause. These rogues could prove to be a much larger problem than I first thought but I didn’t panic. I turned my gaze to my assistant, Layla, who had been standing beside me silently all this while. This was supposed to be a private conversation but I trusted her enough to stay there. "Layla, please make a call to the notable Alphas around the United States borders and Canada and Mexico as well. Tell them to connect to the Alpha line for a virtual meeting." Layla nodded before she grabbed the landline on my desk and began making a few calls. . . After Layla had gotten to the Alphas of the districts I mentioned, a virtual meeting was held with the Alphas in my office also attending. The meeting went smoothly with all parties stating the severity of the situation with the rogues around their respective packs and also listing losses and casualties. The fact that there were already casualties was a cause for alarm but I remained calm as we brought forward several ways to deal with the rogues and tighten security. The meeting ended up getting dragged till the evening after which I dismissed it. The Alphas who came to visit walked out of my office, leaving me and Layla alone. "I think I’m going to have a headache," I muttered to myself, rubbing my forehead and sighing heavily. Meanwhile, Layla made herself comfortable by sitting on one of the chairs in front of my desk. "Should I go get you something, sir? I know a recipe for relaxing tea." She offered politely. But I scoffed, shaking my head before I shoved my hand under my desk and brought out a bottle of whiskey alongside a glass. "This right here is my ’relaxing tea’," I said with a snigger, causing Layla to smile awkwardly as I opened the bottle and poured myself a glass. However, just when I was about to take a sip from the glass, there was a loud knock on my door, causing my eyebrows to furrow into a frown. I glanced at Layla who quickly stood up and walked to the door. She checked who was at the other end before opening it, revealing Odessa’s maid, Caroline, who had a frantic expression on her face. I went on high alert just then, slowly dropping the glass of whiskey as I arched an inquisitive eyebrow. "What is it? How’s Odessa?" She fiddled with her fingers, glancing back at Layla who urged her with a silent nod. Eventually, she let out a sigh before she spoke. "F– Forgive me, Alpha King. I take full responsibility for not being there to watch her. B– But... But ma’am Odessa..." I squinted my eyes, slowly getting up as my mind went through so many worst-case scenarios. None of them were good. Without waiting for the maid to compose herself, I bolted out of the office, stepping into the hallway before I headed to Odessa’s room in quick strides. My heartbeat seemed to increase with the tension until I finally got to Odessa’s room. When I swung the door open, I was surprised to meet Marcellus on the ground, unconscious with an empty glass of wine a few meters away from him. My lips parted with shock as I raised my head and scanned my gaze around the room. My jaw ground with anger at that moment. "She’s not here?!"
