Countdown 15 Departing From the Alpha (Evelyn) novel Chapter 11

Chapter 2 

That was the main reason she thought it was probably her fault that she was not too close to her mother, or her family better said. But she could not help it, she was a person of few words and, as the years went on, she closed herself even more, 

Not that she would ever complain. This was her family and, even though they had not shown her that much love, she was also not ignored or treated badly. She felt them not too close to her, but not too far as well. And she did love them, even if she did not verbalize it, and only showed it through 

her actions. 

The best proof was that, even though she felt horrible at the moment, she still forced herself up from bed to prepare breakfast for the lovely girl, who was pouting at her with her arms crossed. 

The petite girl in front of her, with her curly long blond hair, small face, beautiful blue eyes and pink small lips, waited impatiently, the consistent tapping of her foot being a clear evidence of this. 

“I am up. Sorry, I did not feel well and did not manage to get breakfast started yet. What do you want to eat?” Celia asked her, while she was already tying her hair up in a ponytail and checking the wardrobe for a change of home clothes. 

want a fruit salad, pancakes, a warm cocoa and ummm…” The girl paused momentarily, thinking 

what else to eat. 

“Ohhh and also, could you make some cupcakes? I brought some to the picnic with my friends last time and they loved them. You know, the ones decorated with fondant flowers.” She finally stated. what she wanted, turned around and went to her room, not bothering to wait for her sister to agree to her request. Celia loved her little sister so there was no need for Brianna to beg for a request. 

The latter only had to state it, and she would do it. Looking at the back of the beautiful young woman who was hurrying away, Celia shook her head amused, with the corner of her mouth tugging up in a small unnoticeable smile, as she selected her clothes. 

Checking for some comfortable ones, she frowned when another cramp hit her abdomen. Her face was already full of sweat beads since the cramps started, now even more water droplets appeared 

on her small face. 

the clutched the clothes in her hands and waited for it to pass, barely managing to move her feet. towards the corner of the bed to sit for a while. 

“I am sorry Celia. I am trying to fix it, but it seems that I cannot heal the pain in your abdomen.” Her wall, Crescent, said worried of the pains that she strangely could not stop. 

5.1 

Maybe we should….” Crescent barely started to say another solution, before Celia interrupted her. 

It’s alright I can manage. Perhaps the pain will go away when I move around.” She knew her solution, but felt it was not that big of a pain and would most likely subside on its own. 

It was better to just bare the pain until it went away itself, rather than risk someone finding out about her. The risk was not worth it. And anyway, she was resilient enough. The only problem was that the pain was unusual, as she had no prior health problems. Not that she ever had any, she had not suffered from even a cold, since she was born. 

Her wolf wanted to continue to reason with her, but they had respected each other since they first shifted at the age of thirteen. If one needed help, she was never polite. She only had to state what she wanted, and it would be done. 

“It was a mutual understanding between them, even without the use of words. If Celia wanted 

something, Crescent knew that she would say it, without the need to be convinced. 

The cramps indeed passed after a little while, and without another minute’s rest, she got dressed, before making her way downstairs. 

“Celia! You are finally up.” Her mother stated sternly, almost losing all her patience. 

“Yes. I am sorry. I will get breakfast started.” She apologized, while she was quickly tying the apron. en her waist before looking for the ingredients. 

“Alright, just hurry up! Daniel will be coming down soon, he has training early today. Also, don’t forget to pack some lunch for him as well. I don’t know how long the training lasts.” Her mother informed her, while she was taking her car keys out of her purse. 

“I will be gone for about four–five hours. I am having lunch with Abigail today and I’ll also do sorte- shopping.” She continued explaining, not asking in the slightest about the paleness on her daughter face. Not that she had looked at her enough to notice it. 

Celia nodded in understanding, and turned around to put the pancake mix in the batter.
