Countdown 15 Departing From the Alpha (Evelyn) novel Chapter 90

Chapter 81 

“Hahaha!” She smiled to herself with tears still flowing down. A noble heart what a joke, she thought. More like a rag to be used for everyone’s convenience, more like an object used for one’s wishes and disregarded once it was no longer of use, a convenient person. 

Feeling defeated, she slumped down on the floor no longer crying, still admiring the roses in front of her. 

“Celia!” A familiar voice called from behind, just as she was at her lowest point. But she did not dare turn around. This person only saw her at her worst, injured then frail and now even crying. 

Embarrassed by her current messy state, she quickly used her hands to wipe the tears away as she felt him approaching her, but she could do nothing of her red eyes. She was frantically wiping when a hand reached her arm and stopped her from wiping again. 

“Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?” He asked worried and flustered not knowing what could possibly be the cause of her unrest. Had she been too frightened by his earlier darkened eyes? What should he do to make her not afraid of him anymore? What should he do, if she wanted to leave the palace because of him? 

Unaware of the million wrong thoughts inside this person’s head, Celia looked towards him ashamed. He had said the words she wanted to hear from her father. She saw in his eyes the care she wished she received from her family. 

At his gentle words, she said nothing at all, only kept on admiring his inquiring and worried face. Such beautiful eyes had frowned because of her. With just a look he tore apart her poker face and without realizing she found herself putting her arms around his waist hugging him and crying like 

she never cried before. 

She had been plagued by nightmares, when she fell asleep the previous night. But waking up after such a comfortable sleep now, she felt refreshed. In fact, since she left her pack territory this was the best sleep she had. So comfortable that she did not open her eyes yet trying only to cuddle some more in the warm bed with the smell of fresh flowers and a familiar comforting smell of musk with tinges of lavender. 

This was strange she thought, she did not have fresh flowers in the guest room so why could she qmell fresh flowers and musk? Trying to clear her mind, she hugged a bit more the pillow in her arms when she felt a soft moist touch near her temple. It almost felt as a feather like kiss. 

It startled her and she immediately opened her eyes and looked in the direction of where the touch caine from, only to look straight in the pair of deep blue eyes of his majesty. 

But this was not the most embarrassing thing. No, the most embarrassing thing was that when she moved so suddenly like that, not only were their eyes locked looking at each other, their lips had Jocked together also. 

moment 

She was so stunned that, even though their lips were still touching, she did not move back. She could not even breathe in this moment, and her heart felt like it would jump out of her chest any now. Not only because of this unfortunate accident, which was the smaller problem perhaps… but most importantly because his highness had not moved as well. 

After a few more moments of this immobile state, she suddenly moved back regaining her senses. Looking at her surroundings, she discovered that she was in his highness’s indoor garden and, until she let go and moved back, she had been cuddling in his arms sleeping. The comfortable pillow she had held was his waist and chest. 

Her face was flushed red. Why did she think she would be in her bed when she clearly went into the garden?! 

“I–I am sorry your highness I touched..!” She was trying to apologize, but she fell silent as she could not utter with her mouth that she had hugged and accidentally touched his lips also. 

“But I am not sorry!” He calmly affirmed looking straight at her.
