It was unusual that the noisy person had not suspected him more, the teacher had not ask any more questions. He just left to bring the students to

his office.

The abnormal disinterested attitude of

Only later would he replace out that Gabriel had known all along his thoughts, when he would finally confess his feelings for her to his friend. The latter would keep on teasing him that he was aware from the moment he saw how Salas looked at her at the ceremony, and the teasing would be endless.

for her to come.

Waiting for them in his office, it felt like it took forever for her to

After what felt like a lifetime, the watcher students accompanied by Gabriel finally arrived outside in the hallway. Her specific scent and presence could be detected by him easily amongst the others. From the moment she stepped through the door he did not dare look up from his documents. He waited for them to take a seat and for his unrest to calm down, and only then did he leave his desk

and sat on the couch.

He started with the introduction, it was the logical thing to do and in this way he made sure that he would hear her voice. “Celia Blair” she said shyly, with a little stuttering trembling tone, but it only made her more adorable.

Her face that had almost no expression suddenly turned pink, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Her voice that said the name Celia, was more like a whisper, but it was sweet sending tingles to his heart. And the name Celia coming from her lips felt like little bells ringing, like a small song. Then when she finally looked in his eyes, he was doomed it seemed. He should have left immediately after the ceremony. He should have left and tried to never see her again because in this moment he felt like he willingly jumped into Hell, and there was no way up.

For the first time in his life he fell in love, and quite hopelessly so.

"Beep!"

Ever so slowly the heart monitor could be heard. A normal heart rate should be much faster than this, the interval between the heartbeats on this monitor was too long. Each heartbeat felt like the

last.

"Beep!"

Her entire body was covered in bandages, it was littered with cuts and bruises everywhere. Her face was pale almost white. Her lips were cracked, her cheeks had lost their color and her eyes showed no sign of opening. It was already three days ago that the attack happened, but she had not shown any signs of waking up.

"Beep!"

Her heart rate spiked again. Each time her heart beat, he felt his heart warm up, only to freeze when it took too long to hear her heart again. His entire being was focused on that sound.

He could not bother about anything else other than this. He had not slept since he found her, his normal clean look, was now changed to a disheveled appearance.

His hair that was previously always styled properly was now unkempt, his previous clean face was now darkened by the growing stubble and the dark cold circles around his eyes. The only thing he would do was just take showers, other than that he did nothing but move between the hospital and

his office.

Fortunately the hospital was also in the compound of the palace, so he did not have to move around too much. In this way, he would check up on her several times a day, and at the same time he could also investigate the cause of the attack. To dare trespass his forest and try to abduct his people was punishable only by death. Someone was clearly not so afraid of him anymore.

had been 30 years since the last war. At the end of it, everyone knew of his name and cruelty. They would just tremble at the mere mention of his name. He singlehandedly had massacred the same amount of rogues and other supernatural creatures as his army did combined.

Now they must have forgotten. He would have to make an example of the ones behind the recent attack. Most of the ones who had trespassed were dead and sadly one had slipped past the borders.

But he had found two while they were trying to leave the forest and were now currently kept for questioning before they were to be put to death. It would not be long until leads were found. An operation this daring would not be under the leadership of those present in the forest. Someone was clearly behind them.

Studying her face close to her side, as he found himself doing each time he checked up on her, he found she was still as lovely. Such a frail looking girl had managed to save every one of her pack members. She did not collapse even with wolfsbane in her system, which doctors were baffled about as the amount in her body was enough to kill two or three higher ranked werewolves.

When he had arrived at the castle the evening the attack happened, the smell of blood and fighting had enveloped him instantly. His heightened senses immediately detected a disturbance in the forest, so leaving no explanations to the assistants behind him, he transformed into his wolf and ran Jowards the forest.
