Countdown 15 Departing From the Alpha (Evelyn) novel Chapter 76

Chapter 67 

She had never been close to men in her life, never had a boyfriend and she did not know what the appropriate distance between women and men should be. With the guys from the pack it was much easier to interact, she sighed. Either way a wider distance was better than the opposite, she finally decided. 

Lest he sensed her blush, her heartbeat and her slight tremble at his touch were for a reason other than shyness. It would be embarrassing if he noticed her turmoil. She really did not understand why he had such an effect on her. Even if she had rejected her mate, he most certainly would have a beautiful and strong mate, she was nothing compared to that. Wait… why was she comparing?

She massaged her head bewildered of her thoughts, and tried to push these ideas out of her mind. A few seconds later, she removed her legs from the warm blanket, and tried to move to get up, she really needed to use the bathroom. They had told her she had a landline phone near the bed and should use it each time she wanted something, but she could do it herself. It only took a few steps until the bathroom. 

She slowly positioned herself, with her legs dangling on the side of the bed, and propped her hands for support, but it was more difficult than she thought. She finally got up when the dizziness went away and steadied her feet. 

She took one, two, three steps. The door of the bathroom was in sight, but she suddenly felt a numbing pain, before her feet gave out under her weight. 

Her only reflex was to close her eyes tightly and wait for the pain caused by the fall. There was nothing to hold on to, even if she wanted to stop herself from falling. The expected pain did not come as she bumped into something and it was not the floor as she was still on her feet. 

Her face was pressed into a hard chest, strong hands surrounded her waist holding her from falling 

and, as she felt the warmth of the other person, Salas’s strong natural scent hit her nose. 

“Why did you not use the landline? Your injuries are almost healed, but you are still frail, you could 

still get hurt.” The soothing gentle voice scolded, but even his reproach of her actions held a tinge of 

endearment. 

She looked up to see him gazing straight down at her, really this man was too beautiful for words. Realizing the 

s, one even more evident than before, she quickly lowered her eyes and tried 

to steady her feet for him to let her go.

am sorry. I thought I could manage to walk. I am alright now. Thank you your highness.” Celia apologized, but even though she slightly pushed her hands against his chest and tried to back away) he was like a stone wall. 

“Where were you going?” He asked again, ignoring her attempts to create distance between them. 

She could not openly push him away and could only reply hoping he would let go. He was the king… how could she dare be rude. 

“I just wanted to walk a little. I am fine now, I can go back to the bed myself. Thank you!” She said trying to tell him with words that he should let her go, but he still ignored her attempts. 

He looked behind him to the direction she was heading to and realized that she was too embarrassed to tell him she was going to the bathroom. He looked again at her and smiled a little although she could not see it, as she was still looking down averting his eyes.
