Alpha Markus and Celeste

Chapter 12

Chapter 12 – Celeste

Celeste P.O.V

I was so happy to know that Maya was coming with us. It felt like it would be less scary with someone I

knew there. Kara was still

sleeping after healing me for 3 days, but I could feel her soft purring every time Markus touched us.

We entered the house. I could feel people looking our way.

“Where are your rooms ladies?” Zack asked. I frowned. I didn’t want him to see where I slept.

“This way,” Maya said.

“Uhh, I’ll just go grab my stuff while you help her with hers,” I told Zack.

“Luna, I was instructed to go with you,” he reminded me.

“I’ll be fine. It won’t take very long. I won’t need help packing,” I assured him, “I’ll be done before Maya,

and I’ll meet you in her room.

He hesitated then said, “Yes Luna,” and followed Maya.

Tran over to the half bath that had been my room for the last 5 years. I looked at the items there. Was

there really anything I wanted

to bring with me? I needed the few clothes I had as I was still in the hospital gown. Thankfully, I was

thin enough that it circled me all the

way around. I pulled a bag I’d gotten from the kitchen on the way here. Carefully folded the 4 pairs of

outfits I still had left. Sadly, one of the two new sets was ruined the night of the full moon. I was looking

for my brush when I heard someone come up behind me.

“So the little b***h is finally alone.” I froze, recognizing Sandra’s voice. “You have some nerve, taking

what’s mine. Then pretending

to be a victim.”

“I haven’t stolen anything. I swear,” I said

“LIAR!! First you took everyone’s attention. Then you took my mate. I was supposed to find my mate

that night, not you. Alpha

Markus belongs to me.”

Theard Kara growling in the back of my mind – They already know the truth, let me have a go at her.

We shouldn’t. We will get Markus in trouble and you need to rest-I begged her.

She’s asking for it. She wants our mate. – Kara growled

“He is my mate, he never belonged to you,” I said. I felt my eyes begin to glow. This time it was me. I

was giving a warning.

Sandra blinked, shocked by my actions, then she growled and charged me, her claws extending from

her fingers.

“STOP!”I heard Markus command in his Alpha voice. Sandra could do nothing but obey. “You dare

attack my mate again? Do you know the penalty for attacking a Luna?”

“I should be your mate, not that worthless piece-“She stopped when Markus’ eyes glowed and then

turned black. His wolf roared

and the windows shook.

“You will not speak of my mate this way. Alpha Geoff, get this pup out of my sight before I take back

everything I said in that meeting.

” His wolf warned. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Alpha Geoff grabbed her by the throat and dragged her away, “WHAT THE f**k DID I TELL YOU?

STAY THE F**K AWAY FROM HER. ARE

YOU TRYING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED? WHY CAN’T YOU DO ANYTHING If*****g ASK OF

YOU? DISA-FUCKING-POINTMENT IS ALL I GET

FROM YOU.”

I looked back at Markus. His eyes were still black, “Where is Zack,” he growled, turning to Beta Gillian.

“I will find out Atlas. Can you please let Markus come back?” Beta Gillian said quietly, as if not to rattle

Markus’ wolf’s fragile

control.

Welped

“You were supposed to be with her! She could have been killed!!” Atlas roared. Everyone bowed their

heads and exposed their necks. I was unaffected, so I moved in front of Zack as Atlas approached,

worried that he would get in trouble. It made him halt his steps.

“It’s my fault,” I said, standing at my full 5’9″ height. I wasn’t about to let anyone get hurt because of

me.

“He disobeyed my order. He put you at risk. He must be punished. Please step aside little one,” he

growled, eyes still zeroed in on

Zack.

I needed to diffuse the situation. Instead of moving aside, I moved forward slowly. Gillian seemed to

hesitate, as if wanting to interfere, but I held my hand up to him. Asking him to wait. When I was within

reach, I touched his chest. Atlas finally broke the glare he

was giving Zack to look down at where my hand was on his chest. Without much ceremony, I was

grabbed and crushed to his chest. He inhaled deeply and after a few more whiffs, I felt his arms relax a

little more but they didn’t let me go. I saw Beta Gillian’s eyes wide with shock. Then he smirked and

winked at me. I pulled back after a minute, Kara was quick to grumble in my head with the loss of

contact.

“I’m sorry,” I said, “I told him to go help Maya. I don’t have a lot of stuff to pack.” I looked up and saw

that his eyes were back to

normal.

He sighed, “I would prefer that you have a guard with you at all times while not in our territory. It is not

safe otherwise,” He said with a pointed look. I blushed. “Zack, please load Maya’s belongings into the

car. We are leaving now. I don’t want to be here any longer than we need to. I will help the Luna.”

I looked back at Zack and mouthed “Sorry” to him. He looked at me and smiled in gratitude. A small

growt escaped Markus’ chest and I tried hard not to giggle.

“So, where is your room,” he smiled and I paled.
