Countdown 15 Departing From the Alpha (Evelyn) novel Chapter 105

Chapter 96 

Salas looked towards Celia and then to the person in front of their table. The petite blond person had her body bent in a reverence. He did not say a word to her and only gestured for her to rise. 

Brianna did not wait a moment longer having gained permission and, proud of herself, approached even more the table. 

She waited for a few seconds, thinking that his highness would speak to her, but he did not say a word, nor did anyone else at the table, for that matter. 

Celia even less, thought to say something. She was thinking that if Brianna had the audacity to play a game of sisterly love, then she should play it by herself. 

Having all the eyes of the high ranking wolves on her, she felt intimidated and quickly spoke again. 

“Sister I have missed you dearly. I did not know you would participate at this ball, were you trying to surprise me? If so, I was truly surprised. 

Really, you have not called home in so many months. We were so very worried about you! 

“Since you came to the Academy until now, why haven’t you contact us?” 

Brianna stopped for half a second, like she was choking because she was feeling overly emotional. Then she continued. 

“I know that all that mattered to you always was to fulfill your dreams, even leaving before my Luna ceremony, but you should still contact us sometimes in your free time.” Brianna stated aggrieved, with eyes filled with tears that were threatening to fall. 

Just like always, Brianna was determined to gain the upper hand. If she posed herself as a victim first, then no matter what Cella said, it would only seem tacky. It would make everyone around her think that she was trying to make excuses. 

Brianna was also trying to let everyone know that her sister was not at all the kind of person she appeared to be, having kept her participation a secret from her family. 

Celia was still listening expressionless but, inside her mind, she thought that in the time she did not. sée Brianna, it seemed her acting rose up a notch. Well either way, she did not mind or get upset because of Brianna’s ramblings. 

Celia slightly coldly smiled with no affection on her face and was about to answer her sister, but 

After Husband’s Betrayal I Become Alpha’s Heir 

Gabriel cut her words and spoke first. 

Were you very worried about your sister?” He asked surprised. 

He wa 

her teacher and was, along with her pack members, present every day at the Academy with Celia. He had never seen her receive any phone calls from her overly worried family. 

One could say that, because Gabriel was with the students most of the times during classes, he did not know if she received phone calls during breaks. But Cella had been hurt and was in a coma for many days, If he included the exercise t 

in the count, then her family had not called her for more than three weeks. If one was truly worried about a person, then he or she would call first. 

He had also heard a bit from Jake, when he pondered on whether to let her family know of the injuries, that Celia had a strained relationship with her family. 

Jake had not said it in so many words, as Celia had not said anything bad about her family, but 

something was strange for sure. Jake told him that she had ended her vacation on the same day she went home, even though she was previously very enthusiastic about returning to her pack territory. 

So one could draw their conclusion from that. 

And if those two reasons were not sufficient, then the reason Gabriel gave Brianna next, was sufficient enough, as he continued speaking not letting her answer the first question. 

“Since the time she left home and until now, did your worry for your sister lessened or heightened in 

particular? Gabriel asked cryptically. 

Brianna frowned at the unknown man’s intervention, but she knew that at the king’s table there were only important officials and so could not ask him why he intervened. She could only carry on 

her act.
