Chapter 114
“Is it a bad time? Should I come back later?” Gabriel asked, scratching with his hand the back of his
head.
She hurriedly let go of the embrace at the sound of his voice, embarrassed of her actions.
No stories available.
The loss of the warmth of her soft body against his, made Salas frown in annoyance, as he looked towards the “disturbing factor“.
Was Gabriel really his friend? He knew he had suffered for the last hundred years because he had. no mate, if he saw the scene of them in an intimate setting, shouldn’t he have quietly left them alone?
What Salas was not aware of, was the fact that he had also prevented or interrupted Maria’s and Gabriel’s time together many times in the past, with all kind of different requests that had lessened the time he could spend with her. And Gabriel had held a bitter grudge in this regard.
Of course, the official version, if someone were to specifically ask him, would be the fact that he interrupted them because he was worried about their health.
Satisfied with his little revenge, he approached them more with a warm innocent smile, after closing
e door behind him. He had maintained his warm expression, even in Salas’s obvious anger and stare that seemed to be able to blow a hole through him.
“Are you alright Celia?” Asked Gabriel, going for the less aggressive one of the two.
“Yes I am alright.” She replied hurriedly. Though truthfully, the wolfsbane in her veins was not completely 1
yet and she was feeling under the weather. It was only because the interaction with Salas had caught her off guard, and so she did not pay any mind to how she was feeling. But Gabriel’s question reminded her of the fatigue and pain.
“What happened to you?” Salas asked, remembering she was dressed in patient clothing. As the joy of finding his mate overclouded his mind and the fact she did not have obvious injuries on her, he had previously omitted this particular fact, but looking closer at her she did have a slightly paler face with small dark circles around her eyes, he had not noticed before as he felt she was beautiful no matter what.
“Ahh… it was nothing important!” Celia said, dismissing her current state.
was not nothing. She helped your treatment against the wolfsbane. Just like you previously

helped her. Really, you and Salas as well, you both have to say these things clearly. You are too Innocent, even though you are the highest ranking werewolves currently.
It seems to me you are also in need of a teacher in shamelessness, Celia!” Gabriel said with
conviction.
Really, the best way to have a firm grip of the other’s heart was for that person to be aware of all the things you did for him or her, but it seemed to him that both of them did not take advantage of such facts, Salas had also not informed her before what he had done for Celia when she was injured. They, perhaps, could have avoided all the drama….
“A teacher in shamelessness?” Asked Celia not understanding one bit of his last phrase.
Gabriel coughed, realizing his blunder.
“Ohh… I misspoke, I only meant it is shameless of us, if we do not inform his highness of everything that has happened while he was unconscious!” Gabriel rephrased his words to give them a different meaning, trying to cover his mistake.
“Wait, does it mean you did the transfusion for me, why did you? You could have died!” Salas said, his anger raising. He remember just how numbing the pain of the wolfbane was when her blood had entered his veins, not to mention he had no preexisting problems at that time.
“He was completely healthy and he still suffered for days after. But for this delicate woman to also go through such an experience…
“It was the only solution!” She gently answered, refraining herself from also adding that she could not watch him die.
“Who said so? I could have regenerated myself, there was no need for you to go through it! Did you tell her about the treatment, Gabriel? Or was it the doctor? Who was the culprit?” Salas asked angrily, looking towards Gabriel the whole time, even though Celia was the one who had answered his question. It was like no matter what she said or did, someone else would be to blame.
Gabriel stayed quiet, afraid that anything he would say would incriminate him. Salas looked like he was about to murder the one who had put her in jeopardy.
“Your highness, you are contradicting yourself! First you said that I could have died, and now you say you could have regenerated without help.” Celia sighed as she eyed him changing her gentle one to a sharp one, then she continued to admonish him.

“It was your fault that you could not keep yourself safe, even though that should have been your first priority, now you blame the innocent people who helped you?

Neither one of them are to blame. Gabriel did not know what the treatment was and the young doctor was under your command and could not speak of it, even if he wanted to.
I was the one who ordered the doctor to tell me what he did for me and made him do the same for you! If you want to punish someone then punish me!” Celia said raising her voice, while she hmphed
upset.
