Chapter 27
All Ethan can do in this moment is wait for Celia. He can watch the wheels tum inside her head from behind those beautiful eyes of hers. He will wait up until the day and time of the event for her answer because how likes her so much.
He’a always watched Celia from afar when she first joined the hospital as a medical intern. She was so nice and, despite being of lower ranks compared to the other noble she wolves who were at her level, she persevered through the hardships and bullying they put her through.
He always knew that her work would shine through at the end of the day. Celia is massively talented and it is something that Ethan adores so
much about her.
The first day they spoke, It was an accident. Ethan had accidentally bumped into Celia while leaving the break room. He had spilled his coffee all over her scrubs.
If it were any other wolf or noble Healer who worked at the hospital, he would have been ripped to shreds, yelled and screamed at inside the break room for being so reckless. Celia, though, laughed it off and told him that it was okay, that the scrubs she was wearing are easily replaceable and that it is not a big deal.
From the beginning, she has always been kind to him and others. Ethan just wishes that he can pay it back to her so she knows that there is someone out there who loves and adores her, someone who wants to take care of her.
Ethan looks down at Celia with big and hopeful eyes. She blinks at him, trying to process the question he just asked her. Cella diverts her gaze for a brief moment, which makes Ethan’s heart flutter with anticipation.
He knows to not expect much. She can say no and he will be quick to accept it. Ethan knows that her feelings lie with Soren despite him causing her such devastating heartbreak not even a few minutes ago.
How could she say yes to him anyways? It’s not like Ethan is the Alpha King like how Soren is. He holds no noble title or rank and instead works in his father’s hospital.
How can Ethan compete against an Alpha King?
Ethan’s offer is unexpected and yet there is no fanfare in my heart, no butterflies that erupt in my stomach nor are there any fireworks that are being set off in the back of my mind.
My body doesn’t react to Ethan or his offer like it does whenever Soren is around me. Whenever he looks at me, my body erupts into dramatics, always fawning over him and his handsome appearance, my heart beginning to race when he comes near,
Ethan, on the other hand, doesn’t make my heart race. He has always been a good friend to me and has been so dependable during our friendship. He has a kind and helpful soul that is admirable, really, and any woman would be so lucky to be his partner.
Me, though? I don’t think that’s me.
Lily has always pushed the idea of us getting together, always mentioning to me that Ethan has a crush on me and that he’s always looking at me. I never believed her, though, and dismissed it as friends just looking out for other friends. Nothing more, nothing less.
Ethan could be a good choice of a chosen mate, though. I know it may be a bit too early to be thinking about this, but the thought doesn’t leave my mind as I stand here, staring at him like my brain has completely stopped working.
Ethan is dependable. He is kind, caring, and always has a comforting smile on his face. I know that if I were to go to him with anything that is bothering me, that he would immediately know what to do and how to fix it.
He has helped me out many times in the past.
With times in the hospital where the she woll Healers have ganged up on me, he always stood up for me and told them that mu for itself and that it does not matter that I don’t have a rank like them.
