Countdown 15 Departing From the Alpha (Evelyn) novel Chapter 14

Chapter 5 

That was the reason why the tracker and patrol werewolves would only be in wolf form on the job. 

Strangely she did not feel any difference between the wolf form and the human one for the most part, but even then she was still inclined to think it was only an anomaly. 

That was what she thought until one day when, as she went to the forest for a run, she was surrounded by 3 rogues that had breached the borders, at the young age of fourteen. 

She was terrified in the mist of the savage and mad creatures that she could hardly identify as werewolves. Their unfocused eyes, their sharp fangs that protruded from their mouths, with saliva that flowed uncontrollably from it, their clawed hands… their entire appearance made them seem more like creatures from horror stories, rather than werewolves. 

She was just a child at that time and, as she was thinking about what to do, her wolf took control of her body for the first time. The human side of her being, Celia, exchanged places with the wolf from inside her mind, becoming only a spectator. 

Watching then how without even shifting, her body swiftly ripped the 3 rogues to shreds, she realized her assumption of being an anomaly was wrong, she was indeed stronger than a normal werewolf, but for what purpose she did not know. 

Fortunately, she did not need to mask her scent in that place to keep her secret. Just when she was panicking on what to answer the patrol werewolves, who would likely come running to seek the intruders, a witch flew by. 

The witch had a bubbly personality and, without even asking her what happened, cast a spell to remove her presence from the surroundings. Clarissa never asked her anything more than she wished to let her know, so she still remained her friend after all these years. Even at the moment, they regularly exchanged letters, and was the only one who knew of her strength. 

As she was lost in her thoughts, her hazy mind suddenly became clear when she felt another sthig in her heart, before it completely subsided. She was aware that the only kind of pain to keep on repeating to a werewolf without an actual cause, was phantom pain. There was no other answer for 

the unfounded ache. 

But still she was reluctant to think it was phantom pain… phantom pain only occurred to werewolves that had met their mates, and one of them denied the bond, mating with others. The pain would be inflicted on the cheated partner each time his or her mate had intimate contact with another werewolf. Even a kiss was enough to trigger phantom pain.

As Celi 

Celia had not met her mate, it was impossible for her recurring ache to be this kind of pain. 

She sighed as the pang passed, and decided to not think of the matter anymore. Making the dresses, she had neglected her other chores and it was already running late, it was almost time to start cooking for dinner. 

At the same time, Brianna was offering cupcakes to her friends. Everyone had a piece of the different arranged colorful sweets, but the girls kept on looking at their pieces, not daring to start eating them. They were so cutely decorated and not one cupcake resembled the other. If they did not know her better, they would even assume she had bought them. 

“As always, you make the best desserts.” One of her friends acknowledged smiling, while she was 

smelling the fruity scents of her piece. 

“Hehehe… thank you for the flattery, but they were very easy to make. I cannot take your compliment.” She bashfully replied, with a tinge of red dying her cheeks. 

“Ohhh you… always so modest! If the cakes were easy, then what about the dress you wear? You do not know, how I envy your skills.” Another girl pouted, finally daring to cut a small piece of her vanilla and blueberry cupcake. 

“Really, if I was your older sister I would be ashamed! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean to insult her, but to be outshined by the younger sister all the time… I would not be able to take it. Not to mention, you shifted at 20 years old, just fit to be the Luna, but she only managed to shift when she was 21 going on 22, almost two years longer.” Another girl added, already eating her piece and eyeing 

another one. 

Brianna did not bother to deny the insults, as she was enchanted by the words “just fit to be the 

Luna“. If she had denied it, and said the one who baked all the delicious cakes was her sister, the one
