Chapter 108

The only way for us to know, what they did back then, is for doctor Young to be given permission!" Gabriel said, he was also under a higher ranking werewolf's order, so could not expressly say for her to rescind the order, he could only insinuate it.

“I give you permission to tell us of the treatment you did on me doctor!” Celia said not asking for more explanations, using her alpha voice. She was deeply concerned to know the severity of his highness's injuries, but it was more important to act fast rather than replace other details, for the time being.

Having gained her consent, the doctor started to explain her previous treatment.

His highness had risked his life to save hers, the treatment the doctors did implied a transfusion between two werewolves of the same rank. The shared blood halved the burden on one body suffering from wolfsbane and thus allowing its own regeneration to start.

It was not in any way a risk free solution, on the contrary, it could have killed him. The wolfsbane in her system was capable of killing several normal werewolves.

As Gabriel explained, his highness was quite lethargic for several days because of the treatment. It was such a dangerous way that the doctors had previously tried to discourage his highness from doing it himself. But he did, regardless of his own life.

He demonstrated his love through actions, without trying to gain anything from her. If not for the current situation, she doubted she would have ever found out. He had prohibited anyone from speaking of it after all. He never even mentioned to her the fact that she lied about the existence of her two wolves, or the fact that her rank in the documents was a false one. He had maintained the lie

for her.

He was also so worried about her that, even though he was suffering from the wolfsbane in his body, he still visited her every day and stayed with her for several hours, each day.

Touching his white pale face that did not react to her touch, her heart felt heavy. Big teardrops were flowing from her eyes, seeing his condition. The strongest of werewolves was so frail in her eyes right now, that she could barely control her trembling.

Waiting in his room for the doctors to start their treatment, as she gave her consent to them to perform the same procedure, she was remembering the brief conversation she had with Gabriel, after the doctor went to gather the other doctors.

Celia, do you know? Even the previous queen did not hold the same rank as his highness's father.

unexpectedly, you do. You have the same rank as our king. That particular fact and the fact that hihighness fell in love with you at first sight, what do you think it means? Gabriel asked her

eriously.

“Ehhh, why are you asking me this and why now?” Celia asked surprised. She did not understand why Gabriel talked about this with her, especially now when his highness was injured. She was also embarrassed that he knew of his highness's feelings towards her

“You are a smart person, but quite naive and foolish, in regards to his highness or perhaps you are trying to be. Do you not think you could be his highness's mate?" Gabriel asked, still maintaining his

serious face.

"But teacher, I already have a mate!" Celia replied confused.

"You have one? Who?" Gabriel asked surprised.

"It does not matter who, as I have already rejected him, but the fact remains I can't have another one. A werewolf has only one mate for life!"

"Yes that's true, a normal werewolf indeed has only one, but you are not a normal werewolf, are you?" Gabriel rhetorically asked her, looking straight into her eyes.

“And let me ask another question. Did both of your wolves suffer when you rejected your mate?"

The question left her thinking, only Crescent at that time reacted to her mate, but Waning did not. She had thought that Waning was probably also suffering, but Waning never mentioned it expressly.

"I can see that you realized something, am I right? In fact only your fourth ranked wolf suffered, the first ranked one did not, as your first mate was not hers. What if indeed his highness is also your

mate?"

“But Waning has never mentioned it, she would have wanted her mate.”

"Celia, since the moment his highness laid eyes on you, he fell in love with you and even his wolf Sky, likes you a lot. His highness mentioned to me before, that they both feel you are their mate, but only your human side. I know that Waning does not come out a lot.

If she never came out when you were with his highness, it is likely that she does not know, or perhaps it could be she has another reason. Now is not the time to ask her, but I am begging you to

do so afterwards.

Do you

know, Salas is the most skilled warrior, he is the strongest of us all! Even if the wolfsbane was toxic, normally he should have been able to evade the bullets, but he seemed out of focus and disturbed by something since he arrived at the borders. I initially thought it was because of the

ogues, that he was upset because of them, but the more I reflect on it, the more I think it is because
