Countdown 15 Departing From the Alpha (Evelyn) novel Chapter 104

Chapter 95 

She was also the prime candidate he had chosen from many others, and an heir born from her would be as strong as one born from Celia, so he prevented her from leaving. 

Not to mention, she could be used to test Celia’s feelings towards the king. The feelings of lady 

Yvonne could be seen clearly, but Celia’s face was unfortunately, as expressionless as the king’s. 

Salas showed some indication through his actions somewhat, but he could not tell from her so far. 

Salas did not say anything about what councilman Reynolds said, so lady Yvonne ended up remaining at the same table as them. 

For the first part of the night, Celia had greeted and was introduced to many strong alphas. 

By being at the king’s table, she was also included in conversation each time someone came to greet the king. 

Her position as an alpha of a pack of watchers, made the alphas respectful towards her. She would be one who, one day, could possibly pay a visit to their pack. By establishing some friendly relations now, if there were some problems and investigations later, perhaps she could lighten their sentences or at least judge fairly. 

She was also respected because she came arm in arm with the king, and the king was known to respect strength. Although some might have suspected a deeper connection between the two, most were in fact sure she came as the king’s partner because she was the first female watcher. 

It was not that they thought she did not suit him, quite the contrary, most alpha and luna pairs at the ball thought they were a perfect match. They made a beautiful picture together. 

The problem was the king, he was already a hundred years old and he had never had a lover before. Perhaps they were accustomed to him being by himself. 

“Celia, I believe your parents should also be here tonight. Do you want to go meet them?” Salas asked near her ear, when there was a moment of peace. 

She flinched at the mention of her parents, she knew she had to meet them, but she did not want to see them yet. She had thought she would go briefly to their dormitory, but only to reject Rayan and quickly leave. 

Thankfully, she did not see them for the first part of the night, because for one they were seated at quite a distance away. For two, by using her werewolf sight she could spot them if she tried to, but 

Che did not want to. 

No stories available. 

Meeting them in the presence of the king, meant that she had to act civilized to them and actually treat them as her parents. She was not one to wash dirty laundry in public, so she would have to act courteous towards them. By doing this, would they take advantage of her again? Would they use her to get closer to his highness? Before she would have said no, but now she knew better. 

Fortunately, it seemed they still had the decency to at least respect the king. They had attended previous balls before and knew of the royal protocols, one of the protocols being that they could not come to the king’s table uninvited. 

Only stro 

strong alphas, that had been leading packs for a long time, and had a previous connection to the king, could come near the table, without the king giving them express permission to do so. Her parents were betas, so they had even less right to come. Of course, it was another matter, if they claimed they came to meet their daughter. 

“No, I do not want to meet them right now your highness. Thank you for asking! I will do so in a private setting later on!” Celia replied grateful. 

Salas nodded and did not insist on it. He did not know how the relationship between Celia and her family was, but he could see in her eyes that she truly did not wish to meet her parents. 

“Alright, if you change your mind let me know.” Salas briefly said, then resumed talking with another alpha. 

It had not been long after his question, when an uninvited person that did not seem to know of the royal protocols, still came.
