Alpha Markus and Celeste

Chapter 36

Chapter 36 – Celeste
Celeste P.O.V.
Thad never been to such a beautiful restaurant. We were about 20 minutes outside of the Pack grounds. The Restaurant had this old
soul feel to it. Something straight out of the romantic books I loved to read. The restaurant was divided into a main level on the left and a
raised level on the right. There was low light all throughout, making the dark wood and brick of the walls look intimate and romantic. We were led to the raised level. I could feel several people looking our way as we passed by. I could only imagine it was because Markus was Alpha. I was surprised it was empty, with only one table by the open balcony set up for two.
“Do you like it?” Markus asked as he led me to the balcony and wrapped his arms around my waist from behind.
“It’s so beautiful,” I said. From the balcony, we could see the start of the forest and the river a little ways out.
“Markus! I’m so happy to see you! Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?! I would have joi-” A very pretty blonde stopped, finally
noticing me. She took in the arms Markus had around my waist and raised an eyebrow. I already didn’t like her.
This b***h is looking at our man like she wants to eat him –
Kara growled in the back of my mind.
“Marcie!” Markus said and I could tell he was uncomfortable through the bond. “I thought you had returned to your father’s
restaurant in Italy.”

“Oh, I could never stay away from here for too long. Too much history.” She batted her lashes seductively. I cleared my throat.
“Where are my manners? Marcie, this is Celeste, my soon to be Luna. Love this is Marcie, an old friend,” he said.
“Oh Markus, don’t make me feel old. I’d like to think I am more than an old friend,” she said, deciding to ignore me.
“Nice to meet you,” I said politely, putting a hand possessively over Markus’ arms on my waist and extending the other to shake her
hand.
“I’ll let the chef know you’re here. I take it you want the usual?” She asked, ignoring my hand.
“We’ll have two tasting menus, if you don’t mind. It’s Celeste’s first time here.”
“Of course. I’ll have someone come over with drinks,” She walked off with a smile to Markus, still ignoring me.
A pretty brunette comes and pours us some wine. I can’t take my mind over the familiarity of the ‘Marcie’ but I don’t want to ask the question. Markus has lived a life before me. I know this, but I’m having trouble reconciling what Marcie insinuated in my head and my
heart.
“Tuli, are you OK?” He asked, “You’re very quiet.”
I smiled and took a drink of wine, “I’m fine.” He looked concerned but didn’t push.
We ate through the sampling menu. It was delicious. I was beginning to enjoy the dessert and my date when I heard her coming up
the steps again.
“Markus, how would your little girlfriend like to see the chef? I’m sure she’d love to talk to someone that can cook,” she
smirked.
Markus frowned slightly, finally catching her tone. “Celeste is actually an amazing cook, but love, would you like to talk to the Chef?”
He asked.
I was still trying not to be rude, so I said, “Sure, I can ask him what that last ingredient in the souffle is. I can’t figure out if it’s anise or
fennel,” I said, getting up. I expected Markus to come with me, but Marcie held him back.
“Stay a moment, we need to catch up,” she said. Markus looked at me as I was led out by a waitress with a frown on his face.
