Countdown 15 Departing From the Alpha (Evelyn) novel Chapter 113

Chapter 104 

Celia walked again, allowing him to still hold her hand. 

The drive on the way back was a quiet one. Neither one said a word until they arrived at his personal office. Reaching the door, he invited her inside. 

They sat in silence for the first few moments, each on a different couch. Although they were sitting 

face to face, she still did not dare look in his direction. 

Salas had felt her stiffness and did not talk, he was waiting for her to put her thoughts in order. On the way back, he had replayed the situation with the alpha, and realized exactly what he had said at that time. So he did not want to rush her, but he still felt anxious because of what she wanted to say. He had called her his, even if it was in a moment of not holding control of his wolf, she must have realized his meaning. 

“Your highness I would like to return to the Academy. Please give me your permission to do so!” Celia requested permission after some time. 

Salas looked towards her, inspecting her face. She seemed tormented of something, and he felt it was not because of her studies. She was rushing to get away from the palace, rushing to get away “from him. 

“Why?” Salas asked her, as calm as he could be. 

“I am healed already, so I must return. I will fall behind the others, if I don’t restart my studies!” She reasoned stuttering. 

“Celia you are a bright student, you would be able to quickly regain what you have missed. This is not the reason why you are trying to leave. Why do I get the feeling that you are trying to get away from me? Have I offended you in any way?” Salas asked, a frown was deeply settled between His 

brows. 

He was trying to figure her out, but he could not understand her emotions. So the best thing he thought of was to ask her frankly. 

“No, of course not, your highness!” Celia immediately denied, but her heart was thumping loud, he had figured out she was trying to hide from him. 

“Then what is it? Is it because I intervened earlier? He was trying to hurt you, how could I watch him do that. How could my heart bear for even a strand of your hair getting hurt?” Salas stated, he had Jajd his heart honestly and told her exactly what he thought.

Again he had made her heart a mess. It had been so many times he had done it. At first, she thought he was that way with everyone, but he only acted that way around her. The words he used around her, his way of speaking felt like she was someone special to him. With other people he acted more mechanically, less human. 

“I…” Celia stuttered again, unlike her usual calm self. He had the ability to turn her stoic and expressionless personality into a stuttering fool, into a new person. 

Was it intentional on his part or was he trying to toy with her? She was tired of questioning herself 

and him. 

“Your highness I really just want to return.” She said resolutely. 

Why do you…” Salas started to say and for the first time in his life he was stopped by someone from speaking. Being the king, nobody was permitted to overstep him. 

“Your highness, please don’t care of my affairs from now on! Please just let me leave!” She simply pleaded, feeling like someone who was defeated. She had even forgotten the royal protocols, because of the chaos in her mind. 

“Why should I not care for your affairs?” He asked with a normal voice, but he was notably upset. 

“I have to handle my own problems. They are not worthy of your highness’s time! Even previously, ould have handled my problems by myself. Because of me, you even left the ball earlier than intended.” She explained worried. 

“They are worthy if I say they are!” He replied firmly, he was getting more and more sad and upset! Even Sky had become agitated. They were both feeling as though she kept them at bay from her life, even from the issue of her mate. Could she still have feelings for that bastard, even though she rejected him? 

“Your highness, why do you care?” She asked with her voice getting hoarse, she felt like there was a lump blocking her throat. 

“Do you really not know why? Have I hidden it so well that you do not know?” He asked trying to keep a calm voice. 

“I… How can I know?” She answered stuttering. How could she not realize at least a little bit his reasons for treating her this way? She had denied it to herself, but deep down, no matter how Clueless she was, she felt he treated her different from other women. 

“Celia you do know. Or have I not made my intentions clear enough? Should I say it in words?” Salas asked one more time, he felt that if he did not speak truthfully with her tonight, she would avoid him in the future, and he would not be able to talk again privately and openly. 

57.6% 

Celia I like you. I like you how a man likes a woman. Is this reason appropriate enough for me to 

care for your affairs?” Salas continued looking straight into her eyes. 

Chapter 105 

Celia was captured by his gaze, by his eyes that were telling her he was speaking the truth. He was breaking all the walls she had built around her heart. The walls she made to make sure nobody would hurt her again, like her family had. 

What if you have a mate somewhere?” She voiced her reasonable worry, a perfect excuse to reject his feelings. 

“I am a hundred years old already and I still have not found a mate.” Salas dispelled her reason with case, not telling her the suspicions he held, as she was not aware he knew of the existence of her two Wolves. Whenever she wanted to tell him herself, then he would speak of this. 

He was also sure of his feelings towards her. Whether she was his mate or not, he felt he would not be able to feel for another woman what he felt for her and she also now had no other mate. 

“What if your feelings are temporary?” Her thoughts were turning jumbled by the second, as she was searching for her words, her heart thumbing louder and louder. 

“They are not. Would they be, considering you are the first woman to move my heart in a hundred years?” Salas replied patiently, trying to clear her doubts. 

“You are the king and I am a simple…” She started to say getting distressed by the second. He was replying too fast to her words, and thus she could barely keep up with finding other reasons. She had never thought the discussion would come to this, so even more so did not know what reasons to refute him with. 

“The first female alpha of a pack of watchers is not a simple werewolf.” Salas denied firmly, not liking the fact she tried to say she was just a simple werewolf. 

“What if the Council or someone else opposes because I am not your rightful mate?” She remembered the woman that the elder tried to match the king with. Her heart hurt thinking of that woman, but she could not let it show on her face. 

“I am the king, I would never let anyone oppose. I would never let someone harm you!” Once again he refuted, cursing in his mind that old man. He had been afraid that Celia would think of him as a frivolous person because of that woman. And now lo and behold, she really did think of this. 

Her tongue was tied and her mouth could not utter more words. What could she say more? He was sealing every reason she had given. And he probably would have sealed other reasons, if she thought of more.
