Countdown 15 Departing From the Alpha (Evelyn)
I Become Novel 28

Chapter 19

"I am sorry, I did say that. But for your circumstances I have to. I have no choice but to let them know.” Gabriel apologized, as his eyes finally found the phone, and he had already lifted it from his desk.

"I do not allow it. Do as Celia said. Put the phone down now."

He was in the process of dialing his phone, when the sound of a higher ranked wolf boomed inside the room. It instantly froze him, stopping his body just as he was about to press dial. Being the only two people in the room, Gabriel realized the commanding voice came from none other than her first ranked wolf, Waning, it was a superior alpha's power.

Much like his highness's wolf, when her wolf roared all were obliged to listen, so he could only bow obediently, showing his neck in submission as he reflexively put the phone down. It had been the first time a candidate wolf made him submit. His rank was only below the werewolves that made up the Council, nonetheless, he was easily made to do her bidding.

"You will declare our rank as being 3rd. You will not speak of Celia having two wolves, and you will not check my abilities further. Do not test me pup!" The clear and imposing voice continued ordering unbothered.

છે.

Pup, he was called a pup. He would have laughed, if it was in another situation, but the beauty before him could not be offended.

"Yes, as you command." Was the reply his body instinctively gave, regardless of his free will.

As Waning retracted her suffocating aura, only then did Gabriel sit upright again, just in time to see Celia's black eyes turn to their normal chocolate color.

"I am sorry. She is not usually willful. She only does whatever I ask of her normally. It was not my intention to command you. She has never used this voice on anyone before.” Celia exclaimed apologetically, as she regained control of her body. She could not deny inside her mind that she approved Waning's actions, but it was still awkward to face the teacher. She had actually commanded a famous werewolf that she had heard stuff of legends about, a person in direct subordination to the king of werewolves... and Waning had even called him a pup.

“Well, she is your wolf. She will act on her own, if she feels your safety is threatened." Gabriel stated helplessly, and sighed as he continued.

"Fine, I promise I will not say anything. Well I cannot say it, even if I want to. The command of a higher ranked wolf can only be retracted by said wolf or another high ranking one. So unless his

highness asks me expressly if you have two wolves, or your exact rankings, I will not divulge them."

Thank you." She said finally relieved her secret would be kept hidden.

"There is no need for thanks." Really no need he thought to himself, he did not do it on his own accord after all.

"Can I ask, how exactly do you have two wolves?" Gabriel curiously inquired.

"I do not know how or why. When I shifted for the first time, at the age of thirteen, I felt the change of my body happening two times, and as a result I gained two wolves. But why such a thing happened to me, I have no way of replaceing out.

My grey wolf, Crescent, also does not know the reason, and Waning keeps herself suppressed most of the times, as her aura could easily be detected, unless she stays hidden deep within my mind. She does not interact with me often because of this reason, only if she deems I need her help.

But I did ask her once if she knew the reason, and she did not say anything, so I will not ask again. She will choose herself, whether to tell me or not.” Celia explained honestly.

"Fine. Perhaps we will learn in time. We will be seeing each other more anyway in the future, in classes and during your watcher duties. We will talk further, if we replace out more." Gabriel resigned stated.

"I have not taken all the exams to be a watcher yet, so ...." She tried to express her worry, but did not manage to speak further, because he interrupted her.

“A first ranked werewolf, and you worry about not passing the exams? Hahaha... Gabriel finally laughed, resuming his usual carefree face from before she was tested.

"Do not worry, we will see each other in the future. Please tell the next candidate to wait 10 minutes

before entering. I may not look like it, but I need a break.” He continued to say, finally gesturing for

Celia to take her leave.

She nodded and exited the room.

Once alone, Gabriel slumped on his chair a little drained from the previous aura and tension. Ohhh how he wished he could tell his good friend Celia's rank. She could possibly be Salas's mate. He was already 100 years old, but he still had not found her. Surely the king of all werewolves would be the only befitting of a female mate of her rank, his equal. If she was not his mate, then no other

werewolf could be.

With this in mind, he checked her file again, she was 22 years old and had never left her pack's Jerritory. After Husband's Betrayal, I Become Alph
