“I really do not understand how you managed to pass the exams to become a watcher?! Honestly, the alpha should have tossed you out of the ring back then!” Evan stated sighing, while holding his hand on his temple, massaging it. 

“What do you mean?” Asked Marcus quite upset, he had just done a good deed, but Evan still thought he was stupid. 

“Our alpha has been injured for several weeks now, would her parents visit just now? If they were truly concerned about her, they would have visited ages ago. Not to mention, though she is injured, 

ven to us she has replied from time to time. 

Not answering any of her parents‘ calls, means she is not close to them at all. Or have you forgotten how quickly she came from her vacation last time?” Evan explained to the confused Marcus. 

Only now Marcus realized that Evan was right, but what could he do about it? 

“Forget it. Anyway, our alpha can handle herself, it is not like she is in danger just talking with her parents, and also if she truly does not wish to see them, the guards would not let them inside. Just be more careful next time!” Evan tried to ease the pale man’s worries. 

At the palace 

Having rested like she never rested before, so comfortable and cozy, Celia slowly opened her eyes, waking up. Her eyes did not even accustom themselves with the morning light, before she widened them in surprise. 

She had previously thought that she would not get a wink of sleep, when Salas had pulled her in his embrace. But, not only had she slept like a baby, she was now, from her own accord, clinging on to 

him like, for lack of a better word, a monkey. 

Salas had his hand placed under her head, but that was the only part of his body that seemed to touch her from his will. She was the one who not only had her head rested on his hand with her face near his, but her hand was also sprawled on his chest hugging him, and her right foot was hugging 

his legs as well. 

She did not dare move, only checking with her ears if his breathing was even. Confirming he truly was still sleeping, she slowly raised her leg which, in her own opinion, was in the more compromising position, and placed it on her other foot, trying to not make any sounds. 

But, perhaps feeling the movement, he murmured a bit, shifting his face even more towards her

own. His curled long eyelashes were now right in front of her eyes, with his nose barely not touching hers, and his lips were also at a dangerously close distance away. 

She closed her mouth, which she had opened in fright a second before, afraid that even the air she breathed could be felt by him, waking him up. Then, with as much gentleness as she could muster, tried to remove her hand. But, she had barely clenched her hand’s muscles, lifting only a little bit her weight, when he placed his own hand on hers. 

Her first thought was that he woke up, but his eyes were still closed, still she froze not knowing how to take it back, without waking him up. She was too ashamed to be caught in this position. If she had slept curled up in a corner with him hugging her, it would have still been better. At least, he would be the one clinging, not her. 

Unfortunately, she did not need to consider more of what to do. His full lips were raising slowly in a devilish smirk while his blue eyes slowly opened, just in time to see her helpless face. 

“What are you doing?” He hoarsely asked, his voice with a tone lower because of sleeping. 

“Nothing your highness, I was just trying to take back my hand that you snatched away!” She quickly said, proud of herself for finding a proper reason for the hand that rested on his chest. 

“Really?” He asked playfully. 

“Yes!” She assured, trying to maintain her confidence. 

“Then I was also the one who placed your foot on mine. Such a heavily sleeper you are, not feeling both of those movements.” He asked, chuckling. 

Realizing he was always up, and felt all of her movements, she frowned upset, trying to snatch away with force this time her hand, not that it could budge as he held it. 

“Your highness, please let go!” She said upset and shy as well. 

“Salas!”
