Countdown 15 Departing From the Alpha (Evelyn) novel Chapter 126

Chapter 118 

That was also the case for his mother, who was a gentle and caring person, so he knew that it was in Waning’s and Celia’s instinct as the queen, to act and help others, even if it could harm them by 

doing so. 

I know from the history class from school that… whenever the king met his mate in the past, the mate would be marked almost immediately…” Cella said even slower and a little stuttering, with her cheeks burning red. 

It was a very embarrassing thing to say herself, to discuss about the marking, but what if Salas Would want to do the same? If he wanted then it would be a problem, so she wanted to be fair and explain herself first. She had already said everything else, might as well get everything out in the 

open. 

“Yes, that is correct. More so than the average werewolf, the king, following the will of the Goddess, marks his mate immediately after finding her. 

This is a tradition from a long time ago, it is to prevent or at least diminish the number of rejections in the werewolf kingdom, as the king sets the example for his subjects. 

“The 

The will of the Goddess implies free will, so there is no law in regards to forcing the mates together. But if the king marks and immediately recognizes the legitimacy of his queen, then the subjects will have no choice but to do so with their respective mates. 

Of course, there are still idiots, every now and then, who deny their mates.” Fortunately for me, Salas added mentally. If Rayan had recognized and marked Cella, before he found her, then it was possible that there was nothing he could have done to take her away. 

In this regard, he was very lucky that Rayan was an idiot. He dread of what could have happened… what if Rayan had been someone who waited for his mate and, at the winter ball, he had come with Celia holding his arm, while she was pregnant with his pup. 

He might have lost all his sanity and gave into his ruthlessness. Perhaps all the guests at the ball would no longer be alive. 

Realizing his thoughts had trailed off, he immediately tried to recollect himself. 

Anyway Waning would not have let that happen… he hoped, but still to protect Crescent, he could not know to what extent she was willing to sacrifice herself and Celia. 

But why are you asking me? Do you not want to be marked?” He continued, showing a hurt 

expression on his face, an expression he could not hide, even if he wanted to. An unmarked mate… was she still not certain of creating a proper bond with him? 

“It is not a problem if whether I want to or not… You see, when I discussed with Waning, she said. that even if Crescent is dormant for now, a major increase in power could still damage her. The marking would certainly make us stronger, and Crescent…” Celia tried to explain. 

“Do not worry, I can wait until her problem is solved, then I will mark you. Alright?” Salas interrupted her and immediately assured her. If it was not because she did not want to be marked, then he could wait a little longer. 

He had waited for decades, what difference would a little more time do? Especially, since she was now with him. It only meant that he would just have to do something else to keep the flies away. 

“Is it really alright? Won’t the Council have a problem with it? I could see that at the ball, the head councilman was trying to introduce lady Yvonne to you.” Celia asked worried. 

“The Council has hoped for the longest time that I would find my mate. It was just that after eighty years of searching, they gave up on finding the real one, settling for the next best thing, a strong werewolf to bear an heir.
