Chapter 76

They let her rest for a bit that day, but Salas was still worried about her so he returned to her room. just in time to see her walking and almost falling. With swift steps he reached her and, quickly held her in his arms to stop her from falling.

With his

his werewolf senses and speed he could have easily reached her in time to assist her by only reaching for her arm, it was not really necessary to keep her so close to his body. It would have also been the gentleman thing to do. But at that time his body reflexively moved on its own, not to mention that Sky also wished for nothing more than to hug her, so he held her against his chest tightly. Alright, if he was to admit, this had also been his wish, his yearning...

her

Feeling her body in his arms he felt complete and, although his face did not show it, when she raised eyes to look at him, the only thought in his mind had been how kissing her pink small lips would feel like.

He barely restrained himself, as he really did not want to scare her. How would she react if he gave into that feeling? Perhaps she would never want to see him again. So he only helped her to the bathroom and then informed the maids to bring dinner to her room. He at least wanted to be near her.

The next day, at breakfast, dark circles surrounded her eyes. An experience like the one she went through was not an easy thing at all, especially for a young girl like her. To kill someone for the first time and to also fight for your own life must have taken its toll on her, coupled with the wounds, her entire being felt frail. He was supposed to interview her after breakfast, to replace out more from her about the attack, but seeing her like that he could not bear to.

So he did the one thing he knew cheered up his mother whenever she felt upset, he took her to his mother's garden. There he also searched for a baby bunny from the small burrow inside the ground bringing it to her. Seeing her slight smile and the light in her eyes, he knew then that he made the right choice.

They walked around some more, as he saw her spirit would get brighter by the second. Knowing he was the one who made this happened, he could not be more pleased. He was also thrilled seeing her in the place that was the most nostalgic from his childhood, one of the few places that held happy memories of him with his mother.

But something unexpected happened when they arrived in front of his mother's most beloved flowers, the fairies' flowers. It was not his intention to check which color her touch would show, but perhaps liking them, Celia herself leaned towards them to touch one of the roses. He was just in the ▸ middle of explaining to her their meaning, when the color of her heart reflected on their previously

translucent petals.

After Husband's Betrayal, I Become Alpha's Heir

The blue was a color only meant for the royal family, no other werewolves could turn the petals of the roses to this color.

Dark blue color would only appear if he or his father touched the flowers and light blue only appeared if his mother, the mate of the king, touched them. Because of this his mother had often teased him as a child. She would always say she could not wait for the day the woman who would turn the rose petals light blue to appear for him as well.

As a quiet child he did not react to her words and always evaded her when she teased him of this, but in his heart he had always expected and yearned for the person who could turn the roses into the same color as his mother.

Seeing the beautiful girl bent over the flowers, smelling the blue rose with a tinge of red on her theeks, his heart rate went up. It almost felt like it would jump out of his chest.

He looked for so many years for his mate, he had checked all the packs one by one when he came of age. He was certain he would replace her, but over the years he had lost all hope. When he saw Cella at the airport that day, he felt for her what he never felt for another woman.

And when he saw her again at the academy, he fell completely under her spell. So as he saw her laying in her own blood, he felt his heart die with her, and only managed to revive when she woke up again. Sky, his wolf, was also mesmerized by this person. But strangely only by the human side of her. He did not recognize her wolf, so she did not feel like she was his mate in spite of such things.

His mother had told him that they would recognize each other at first glance. That there would be only one word which would come to both their minds, and their wolves' in that moment... "mate“. But sadly this word did not come to his mind, and he was certain it did not come to hers.
