Countdown 15 Departing From the Alpha (Evelyn)
I Become Novel 20

Chapter 11

As I said, I don't think she will accomplish anything, but there is also no downside about it. At most, she just sticks with the training and 6 months later she comes home and resumes her life. Or perhaps, interacting with so many people she could replace her mate."

Daniel thought about it and his mother was right, even if he felt there was more to his mother's

actions, there were no reasons for his sister not to follow her dream. He had thought that replaceing se

mate might alleviate the burden on her shoulders. But realizing her dreams, without interference from Brianna and his mom, was also alright.

Until her flight, Celia's time was full. Preparing to leave the next day for a trip that would last 6 months was not easy. She did not manage to leave the house, even for a quick run. Her brother was

the one who went and bought other necessities she still needed.

She was aware nobody had confidence in her, but the fact they let her go to the Academy still

warmed her heart. Perhaps her mother did not do it for an ulterior motive, she did talk with her some time ago. Her mother was not a fair person, but she was still her biological mother. Surely she

would wish her well.

After only a brief sleep, having most of the time occupied by the packing, she was driven to the

irport by her brother and mother. Strangely, she had not seen her sister since yesterday at breakfast, but she could not blame her. Brianna had never been separated from her for so much time before, so maybe she was upset with her for leaving. She would call her later to sort it out, she

mumbled to herself.

She always took care of Brianna and sometimes she felt like a second mother to her. She would leave her alone for a while to sort her emotions. Brianna was already 20 years old, an adult. She needed to start taking care of her own problems.

“Take care of yourself, alright? And remember, we are your family no matter what. In 6 months, if you succeed in passing the exam and enrolling for the course, I will be proud of you. Otherwise, I will still be proud of you for trying." Her mother wished her, hugging her one last time.

The long flight ended and she arrived at her destination's airport. Grabbing all her luggage, she waited at the entrance for the car to pick her up. Her mother told her there would be an escort from the Academy.

Soon, a black SUV stopped near her. From it, a middle age man descended, and scanning the

rrounding, as he could feel her wolf scent, he came directly to her.

Hello! I am the designated driver from the Academy. Are you Miss Celia Blair?” The older man

asked respectfully.

She nodded and politely greeted him.

Smiling. he grabbed the luggage from her hand, and helped her store it in the trunk.

As the man took the driver seat, she also ascended the car.

In all his years of driving potential watchers, watchers and teachers at the Academy, he had never seen a girl trying for the exam. Normally, a watcher was as strong as an alpha, and alphas were only males

He was intrigued, when he was asked to pick her up from the airport. Was the person he had to drive a foolish one, someone who dreamed big, or did she have the actual capacity?

Although he did not show it on his face, he was amazed. The person in front of him actually exuded the aura of a watcher, not a potential one. She felt like a person who had already completed the

education and was in fact a full watcher.

This happened because, unknown to Celia, she was starting to loosen her barrier and some of her actual power was now in plain sight. Experiencing the unknown pain for the last couple of weeks had taken its toll on her body.

lus, back at the pack she always tried to suppress her power as she could not be as powerful as the Alpha. It would be seen as a challenge to his leadership, so from the age when she defeated the rogues she learned to create a wall around herself, hiding her power. This was also and advice Clarissa had given her, but now it was not necessary to do so.

Driving for a few hours, she silently looked outside the car. It was the first time she was in human territory. It felt strange seeing in real life the images she only saw on TV. She was nervous about the future, she knew she was strong, but what if she was not strong enough.

In complete silence, her mood kept swinging from joy to uncertainty and nervousness.

Arriving at the Academy, the driver stopped in front of its tall iron gates, and waited to be givenc permission. A guard in a black uniform with quite a big built approached the car and, seeing the driver nodded, before opening the gates.

The inside of the Academy was huge, she thought. From the front gate to the building she was supposed to arrive at, it took another 20 minutes.

On the way, different kind of huge buildings were aligned. There was a modern and old feel to them Dause of evident renovations. These were buildings that had been build hundreds of years ago,

not one was new. The layout of the Academy had not changed since its construction, it was only

maintained as the time went on and renovated as the technology evolved.
