Countdown 15 Departing From the Alpha (Evelyn) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 78 

“How is this possible? Both wolves would recognize each other at first glance.” Gabriel frowned confused. 

“That was what I knew too. But Sky said he does not recognize her wolf. Still my head is only filled. with thoughts of Celia. Am I going crazy?” Salas finally admitted dejectedly. 

“Wait a minute, you said wolf not wolves. Do you remember what I told you in the conference room at the hospital?” Gabriel said enlightened, and as if realizing something gestured with his hand as he raised two fingers, showing the number two. 

“She has two wolves not one. Which one did Sky not recognize? Gabriel asked as if to confirm his suspicions. 

“It was a grey wolf with tinges of black.” Salas conveyed Sky’s description. 

“That is her 4th ranked wolf. Did he not contact a white bigger wolf also?” Gabriel questioned again, his words filled with more hope each time. 

“No. He said he only felt a grey wolf’s presence.” Salas replied pensively, as Sky assured him there really was no other presence inside her wolf’s chamber. 

“The white wolf is 1st ranked, but she keeps herself hidden deep within Celia’s mind. We must make Celia bring out Waning then you can check again!” Gabriel reasoned. 

“We cannot do that.” Salas firmly denied. He did not even wait for a second to think before he 

replied. 

“Why not. Don’t you want to find your mate?” Gabriel frowned not understanding Salas’s thoughts. The man had always wanted to find his mate, why was he so stubborn now? 

“I do, but I do not want to force Celia. Sky may not have sensed Waning because she keeps herself too deep in Celia’s mind, but Sky is in plain view in my own. Waning must have felt him. If she truly was his mate, why still keep herself hidden.” Salas explained briefly. 

“We can ask her when she is in the open. Or what… will you keep on waiting?” Gabriel tried to convince him again. He was surprised by how calm Salas was. His friend had searched high and low for his mate, now with the opportunity in front of him he did not try to do anything. Was he afraid of getting his hopes up for nothing and was that why he did not dare act? 

He sighed when Salas did not answer, but still left something for Salas to ponder over. 

Whether she is or not your mate, you should find out. Wasn’t this what you have been waiting for ‘all this time, even keeping the Council at hay with regards to another woman? Salas, if you wait longer someone else might act faster than you. 

Gabriel stated with one last reason and without referring to who, Salas already knew that he was referring to the overly worried beta from before. 

She tried to cut the conversation with Jake as short as she could. Earlier his highness had been angry at him coming to the palace. Normally the palace was only opened for official visits, so he must have been upset about students coming and going as they pleased. Perhaps he thought that as Jake visited her, others would follow as well, which breached the security and the protocols. 

She made Jake promise not to come anymore. Moreover she would only be staying about a week or p and she also received her phone and could contact him freely in the future, so there was no need 

to 

Leading him to the door of the palace she said her goodbyes, and wanted to turn around to go to her room. Despite being a patient she walked quite a bit and was actually feeling tired, but she only made one step when Jake unexpectedly stopped her. 

“Alpha. I am truly glad you are alright, I don’t know what I would have done if something happened. to you.” He said and did once again what he had wanted to do when he saw her entering the king’s 

process. office. He hugged her with all his strength, even forgetting her wounds in the 

She was stunned by his familiarity towards her, but considering how close they had gotten these past few months, she did not stop him, she only gently patted his back with her hands.
