Chapter 93
Fortunately for them, they were far behind in the ballroom, having their table located with other smaller packs.
Rayan looked star struck, Celia seemed even more beautiful than the last time he saw her. Under the twinkling light of the chandeliers, her manner, her beauty and her overall appearance was nothing but elegant. There was longing and love in his eyes, but also confusion.
Why would Celia appear at the arm of the werewolf king?
The way the king held her arm as he entered, showed care towards her. He walked slowly to accommodate her long dress and his gaze never left her. He would recognize that gaze anywhere, it was the gaze of a man in love.
If it was not for the fact that the opponent was the king, he would have already ripped his head off. He could not go and fight for his mate, but a low small growl still rumbled in his throat.
At the same time, Brianna had only briefly looked towards Celia, before turning her eyes to the most handsome man she had ever seen. His highness was the embodiment of the ideal man.
Moving her gaze between the two of them, she kept her fingers clenched in her palms, with blood threatening to come out because of the force. She already had Celia’s mate, she was finally supposed to surpass her.
Even though Celia was a watcher and had a higher ranking in society, in terms of romance at least, she was supposed to be the winner. She had Celia’s mate, an Alpha of the pack, but the latter now appeared at the arm of the werewolf king.
Her eyes were
were filled with hate, but she was still convinced that Celia had such an honor only because she was part of the watcher students, the first watcher female.
“Don’t be nervous. I am here with you!” Salas encouraged Celia with a small voice, feeling a sligh tremble on his arm. She was nervous when she heard the announcement before walking inside the ballroom.
Feeling a bit more at ease because of his thoughtfulness, she inhaled a deep breath and nodded.
“You can all raise your heads!” Salas ordered with a stern voice.
Only then, the numerous alphas, betas, lunas, council members and other invited guests dared to Jook up to see his partner. Some looked only a little to satisfy their curiosity, while other stared more.
intently, but there was not a single person who did not at least steal a glance,
Please enjoy yourselves this evening and be at ease! Although tomorrow we will talk serious matters, tonight we are only a large extended family!” Salas continued as a greeting to all of them, before heading to his own table.
As the king, his table was the one in front of the room. At the same table also sat his most closest
associates. As such, at the table, the ones who followed behind Salas when he entered, also sat plus
the head councilman and the second in command council member.
The next ones were occupied by the other council members. Then followed tables of members of other packs, with the closest to the king’s table being the most powerful of werewolves and members of the strongest packs,, Getting further away from the king’s table sat the weaker alphas and members of the weaker packs.
As a true gentleman he pulled Cella’s seat and helped her get comfortable and only after pulled his
own seat and sat.
“Your highness! It has been some time since we last saw each other!” The head councilman affirmed
with a small smirk on his face.
“Has it? I do not think it has been that long Emery.” Answered nonchalant Salas.
It has indeed your highness. In fact I had some urgent matters to discuss with you, but did not manage to find you at all. Even when I came to the palace, I was obstructed to come to your personal quarters. Not to mention I have not even been able to get in touch with you on the phone. Did the guards not at least mention my visit?” The councilman continued with his questions, unfazed by
Salas’s lack of interest.
“Really, Emery?” Salas asked like he was surprised, but his voice was actually monotone.
“I was not aware you had tried to visit me. I was under the impression you were just touring the palace, since the guards informed me you were accompanied. And you know my personal quarters are not available to the public for sightseeing. Next time call in advance if you are coming to visit
Salas replied calmly, with the same expressionless face.
The head councilman was baffled, he tried to prick Salas, but there was no chance to do so. Not only that, he had even called the attempt to introduce Yvonne to him, as a sightseeing tour. The lady was right next to him at the moment. What if she felt disrespected?
The councilman peaked to the blond blue eyed beauty that was sitting at his right, but no evident emotion could be seen on her face, other than pure interest towards the king. She was even slightly *squiling,
Since Salas had sat, she had followed every step and move he made. She did not even bat an eyelash or turned a gaze towards Celia.
