Meanwhile, Odile paced through the castle corridor with a jolly mood, even though everyone in the castle was very tense right now.
The story of Odette who escaped the barrier spread like a wildfire inside the castle, and Odile couldn't be happier, because that meant the bitch who dared to seduce her fated mate was no more, and she could freely mate with the Masked Alpha… once he accepted her, of course.
So far, the Masked Alpha had no intention to meet her. He went insane after Odette left, and was going back and forth around the kingdom to find a way to break the barrier so he could bring Odette back.
Usually, Odile would be angry seeing that her fated mate didn't care one bit about her. But after seeing how deeply in love this man was for Odette, she realized that she couldn't just 'seduce' the Masked Alpha in an ordinary way.
She had to do something devious to make sure the Masked Alpha would fall into her hands, even if he didn't want to.
