Chapter 25
Indeed she was faster than a car. After putting on her uniform’s boots that could withstand her
inhuman speed and force, she went out of the house swiftly.
A ride that normally took a quarter of an hour by car, was made by her in 7 – 8 minutes. She did not
even breathe heavily when she arrived.
Looking at the building for a second, as she cleared her mind overrun with thoughts, she walked
slowly this time, not stopping her feet until she reached the ballroom where people had already
begun to gather.
Generally, she was a presence that went unnoticed in her pack, but now her long wavy hair that
rested loosely on her back, her rosy pink healthy face that had become even more glowing, even the
choice of the maxi dress with the boots which was an unusual combination, and her body which
exuded authority, all of it combined made most of the people there turn their head towards her. Her iciness and cold demeanor adding to an already alluring charm.
“Is that Brianna’s sister? Wow she managed to show up? Such a snob, she did not even want to come
to her sister’s Luna ceremony.” Snorted one of Brianna’s girl friends.
I know! Brianna was quite upset about it. Apparently she had some exams and could not come. Please, she has jealousy written all over her face.” Said another mockingly.
They talked with small voices, but her keen hearing picked up on it. Was that what her sister said
about her? Why did she lie? It was unlikely they made it up, they were her best friends.
She did not move away from the front door and just checked inside. Today she would get to the
bottom of things. Not seeing anyone from her family from where she was standing or even smelling them, she thought to check inside the ballroom, perhaps they were a little further ahead.
But just as she placed a small step in front of her, the smell of citrus and vanilla enveloped her. It
smelled wonderful, making her wolf, Crescent, who was usually very quiet, unexpectedly active The
latter kept howling in her head happily.
She turned around slowly, already suspicious of what this meant, just as a handsome tall man
appeared in front of her.
“Mate.” He whispered. His face was quite confused, but a longing look could clearly be seen on it.
She locked eyes with him and indeed he was.

Mate.” She whispered back.
Celia, what are you doing home? You were supposed to come back 5 months later!” Her mother angered and panicked even more, asked quickly with a high pitched voice, interrupting the gazes, the two had directed to one another, intentionally or not.
“Yes, why are you back? Are you not taking the exams anymore? Isn’t it your dream to become a watcher?” Her sister Brianna also questioned her, her voice higher than usual, but with the same panicked tone. She was still trying to maintain her innocent façade.
In the past, Celia had permitted her childish and willful behavior, but it seemed she was taken for a fool. She could hear the mocking laughs from the girls that were Brianna’s friends.
It seemed her younger sister was informing everyone what exam she was about to take to redirect the thoughts of the people from the current problem. No girl had dared to take the exam, even though there were no gender restrictions, because no girl would be strong enough. Only a fool would try to compare herself with the most powerful of alphas.
She looked at both her mother and sister who were near her mate, without answering their questions. If she still did not understand what everything that happened meant, she would really not be qualified to occupy the alpha’s position. The puzzle finally fitted together. Their actions and the fact that her mate was actually holding her sister’s hand were the answers she was searching for.
“She had never wanted a mate before, but seeing him before her, she felt the mate pull. She was still having a poker face, but it did not mean that she was not hurt. In fact, the phantom pain she felt more than a month ago reappeared as she was looking at the both of them.
So indeed it had been the phantom pain a mate would feel when his mate cheated on him/her. It was exactly the same.
She had been a fool. They played her how they wanted, so much for being family, she thought. Even though she felt the pain because of her mate cheating on her… still it was not the reason for her anger. No, the main motive for her rage was her mother who constantly overlooked her and always prioritized her sister over her, and her sister whom she dearly loved.
Even though most of the times, she only felt used by Brianna, she had thought it was only childish jealousy from her younger sister’s part and never bothered to correct her. Her love for her sister should have been enough. The care she showed towards her, Celia thought mattered to Brianna. But the result was that she wanted to steal even her mate.
She was always used by them, she always had to give up things she wanted to do because of them, and now even her mate should become her sister’s?
