Countdown 15 Departing From the Alpha (Evelyn) novel Chapter 53

Chapter 44 

The pack members did not say more to the girls, as they took their seats at a window table, ignoring Lisa who also sat silently, seeing the brisk manner in which she was talked to. 

Not too long during the meal, Lisa found another target for her questions. She saw that Celia was unusually quiet and did not interact so much with the other guys, but still they kept including her in to their talks and each one treated her very well. 

“Celia, could you tell me how is it that a girl as frail as you, managed to defeat so many strong Alphas. It baffles me that you defeated all the gentlemen here and you can all still get along so well.” Her face adorned with a smirk, and an evident sarcasm in her voice, indirectly she implied that Celia had used her charms to take the leader position. 

In fact, this is what she really thought. She imagined that the beautiful girl before her had actually convinced the nine guys, sitting around her protectively, to help her during the test. She could see that even in the mall, where Academy rules were no longer necessary to be applied, Celia was always placed in the middle of the guys, and they catered to her each time they could. If they did not help her, how was it possible to not only pass the test, but also take the leader position? 

Celia did not reply, not that she did not want to. She did not have time, because at almost the same time the guys answered for her. 

“It is none of your business.” Was in some way or another the general response from them, it only differentiated slightly for each one. They did not try to answer anything more, answering would only seem like making excuses for her, and why was it necessary to do so in front of a no name girl. 

Beside sooner or later, as a watcher, her power would be revealed by itself. And actions spoke better 

than words. 

EXTRA. A day in the Council’s life 

The headquarters of the Council 

“Has everyone arrived yet?” Asked preoccupied the leader of the Council, while at the same time kept his concentrated gaze on the files in front of him. He hadn’t lifted his eyes at all since he had started working. 

The stern looking older man was currently reading some important documents received from watchers in missions from all around the world. Usually at 

this time not a single soul dared interrupt – him, other than his highness. In fact, right now he was reading about the exile of an Alpha from a mid–high ranking European pack. It was not a child’s play to dismiss a leader of such a pack, as such 

26.7% 

his agreement to the report the watchers had sent to the headquarters was absolutely needed. 

But concentrated as he was, he wouldn’t forget about the meeting focusing on a particular subject. That matter was of utmost importance, It preceded every other problems by leap bounds. 

“Yes, they are waiting for you in the conference room. The last person arrived just 5 minutes ago His assistant replied immediately, while bringing another stack of files for the elder to check 

Hearing his answer, the head councilmember briskly took his eyes off from the documents, before. turning his sharp cold gaze to the professionally dressed young man. Having been his assistant for almost ten years already, how could the lad not know his priority right now? Had he turned sloppy because everything was going too smoothly?
