_Toying With Them

Marcellus' POV

*****

After Regina confronted him, he was more... Enlightened.

Was he scared of what the true Lord of the North could probably do to him? No. He's his right-hand man, the most powerful among his hybrids.

However, with her words still ringing in his head, he placed more importance on his mission in the pack, especially the one surrounding one peculiar powerless witch.

On the night after Regina's visit, he got into the Alpha's compound, walking into it casually.

"Good evening, Beta." The guards greeted him when he stepped into the compound.

He simply nodded his head with a cheery smile that disappeared as soon as he walked past them.

Keeping the facade of the 'nice Beta' every fucking day was a hassle.

'All right, first off on my agendas for tonight. Getting my hands on that grimoire.' he thought to himself, scanning his gaze around.

None of the guards were watching him.

Excellent.
