Chapter 138
The weekends were a time they spent together deepening their bonds, going out to the city for a ride and some fun. Now it meant they could only see her from Monday to Friday. But, considering how much time they spent training and learning in that time, they would not have any time to socialize and just hang out with her. So their mood was sour, especially Jake’s, he had taken it the hardest.
She had explained to them a bit that there were unavoidable circumstances that kept her in the palace before, and that was also why she should still go live there. But she had not explained too much, and they also did not pry because of her introvert personality.
Seeing her off to the door, the pack members were returning to their rooms a bit upset, and no one had the mood to go play outside. Jake even more so, as he had felt a man’s distinct smell on her the time she returned, a familiar smell that he knew the king possessed.
The smell was so mixed with her own strawberry one that it did not seem like it was just from meeting him briefly in the palace. At that moment, it sent an alarm to his mind, but he had refrained
from showing such emotions on his face.
Still, it did not mean he did not feel hurt in his heart. He had been the one to see her first, he had
been the one to discover her loveliness first. But he knew for a fact that she respected a lot the mating bond, and she would never accept his feelings, not that he tried to show them openly to her, he was scared to break the friendship they currently had.
He was scared of her rejection, because of a possible mate that existed out there for him. He was
certain that Celia no longer had a mate, he had sensed it had to do something to why she had
returned quickly to the Academy before. And confirmed it, when he had inadvertently listened to a small part of a conversation she once had on the telephone with her brother. A secret he had never told anyone.
But even though she no longer had a mate, she would never accept him, the one who had not met his:
mate yet. And even if he did and he rejected his mate for her, it would make no difference. It would
most likely incur her despising him, rather than accept him.
He was unfortunately in a deadlock. He could not win against the king, who at least had no mate for
a hundred years, and was unlikely to have one at all, as perhaps something happened to his mate
before he managed to find her, and Celia would not have a problem being with him.
As such, the king was already in a more of an advantageous position then him.
He sighed opening his bedroom door, his heart hurting because of the helplessness of his situation.

closing the door as he entered, the image that appeared in his eyes stunned him out of his unhappy houghts. He was so surprised that he could not even react to the unexpected thief, Could he call her
lef? He thought.
What kind of a thief would wear lolita gothic styled clothes and sit comfortably in the middle of the bed chewing bubblegum. She even had a pair of headphones on her ears and was entranced by the music, singing along with it with her eyes closed.
Had someone actually lost a kid, and she found her way to his room accidently? But his room was obviously locked before.
Still looking at her, a ball of fur tapped his little paw on her leg, trying to get her attention. Only then did she finally open her eyes and look towards the door, after seeing the small cat pointing towards M
The small beauty frowned at Jake’s appearance. She was as confused as him, to see him in this room.
“Who are you?” She asked.
A question Jake believed was one that he should have been the one entitled saying, not her.
“I am a student at the Academy. But who are you? And why are you in my room?” He returned the
words to her.
“Ohhh… Did I enter the wrong window? My mistake!” She giggled, getting up from the bed.
The cat sighed and swayed its head from side to side, following her towards the window.
“Didn’t Waning say Celia’s room was on the third floor, second room on the right?” The petite
woman asked herself, as she took the letter out of her pocket.
She was as ditzy as ever, the small cat thought, but did not voice her thoughts.
“Ohh it was the left!” She replied to her own question and was about to exit the opened window
when a hand pulled her back.
“Who are you? And why are you looking for our Alpha?” Jake asked upset and wary of the person.
“What has it got to do with you?” Asked the woman, a little annoyed at the fact that she could not budge the tall man’s hand, and remove her hand from his grasp.
“What do you mean what has it got to do with me? You entered my dorm room, and now you are the one asking questions?” Jake asked angered, getting closer to the small witch.
