Chapter 67

She had never been close to men in her life, never had a boyfriend and she did not know what the appropriate distance between women and men should be. With the guys from the pack it was much easier to interact, she sighed. Either way a wider distance was better than the opposite, she finally decided.

Lest he sensed her blush, her heartbeat and her slight tremble at his touch were for a reason other than shyness. It would be embarrassing if he noticed her turmoil. She really did not understand why he had such an effect on her. Even if she had rejected her mate, he most certainly would have a beautiful and strong mate, she was nothing compared to that. Wait... why was she comparing?

She massaged her head bewildered of her thoughts, and tried to push these ideas out of her mind. A few seconds later, she removed her legs from the warm blanket, and tried to move to get up, she really needed to use the bathroom. They had told her she had a landline phone near the bed and should use it each time she wanted something, but she could do it herself. It only took a few steps until the bathroom.

She slowly positioned herself, with her legs dangling on the side of the bed, and propped her hands for support, but it was more difficult than she thought. She finally got up when the dizziness went away and steadied her feet.

She took one, two, three steps. The door of the bathroom was in sight, but she suddenly felt a numbing pain, before her feet gave out under her weight.

Her only reflex was to close her eyes tightly and wait for the pain caused by the fall. There was nothing to hold on to, even if she wanted to stop herself from falling. The expected pain did not come as she bumped into something and it was not the floor as she was still on her feet.

Her face was pressed into a hard chest, strong hands surrounded her waist holding her from falling and, as she felt the warmth of the other person, Salas's strong natural scent hit her nose.

"Why did you not use the landline? Your injuries are almost healed, but you are still frail, you could

still get hurt.” The soothing gentle voice scolded, but even his reproach of her actions held a tinge of

endearment.

She looked up to see him gazing straight down at her, really this man was too beautiful for words. Realizing the

s, one even more evident than before, she quickly lowered her eyes and tried

to steady her feet for him to let her go.

am sorry. I thought I could manage to walk. I am alright now. Thank you your highness." Celia apologized, but even though she slightly pushed her hands against his chest and tried to back away) he was like a stone wall.

"Where were you going?" He asked again, ignoring her attempts to create distance between them.

She could not openly push him away and could only reply hoping he would let go. He was the king... how could she dare be rude.

“I just wanted to walk a little. I am fine now, I can go back to the bed myself. Thank you!" She said trying to tell him with words that he should let her go, but he still ignored her attempts.

He looked behind him to the direction she was heading to and realized that she was too embarrassed to tell him she was going to the bathroom. He looked again at her and smiled a little although she could not see it, as she was still looking down averting his eyes.

He did not say anything more, just bent a little, put one hand under her knees and another on her back lifting her up.

With her legs swept from the floor, it felt like she was about to fall, so in a startle she extended her hands and quickly grabbed his neck

"Y-Your highness I.....” she wanted to say she could walk on her own, but there was no chance to. He walked fast and in seconds he had already closed the distance she was from the bathroom. With the door to it already opened, he went inside and gently sat her on the bathtub's edge, before he exited and closed the door behind him. Celia could not even utter a word of thanks or deny needing to use the bathroom. The embarrassment was too much by this point.

His highness had realized she needed to use the bathroom. He had also personally helped her there.... She couldn't be more ashamed than she was just now. Feeling all the blood from her body travelling to her cheeks, staining them a bright crimson color, she helplessly raised her hands to cover her whole face. But this action only had the opposite affect, instead of calming her, it had brought about

more unrest.

The hands that had been around his highness's neck were utterly infused with his wonderful smell. No, no... not wonderful, she immediately denied to herself, before again realizing her rudeness.

How could the highest werewolf not be wonderful? Of course he was... wait why did it sound like her thought meant something else? She pondered again... Her thoughts changing rapidly, that even the need to use the bathroom was forgotten.
