Chapter 37 – Markus
Markus P.O.V.
It’s been two f*****g days without Celeste. I hadn’t slept. I hadn’t eaten. Every time I closed my eyes I flash to the look of pain in
Celeste’s eyes as she was coming up the steps. The whole evening was a disaster.
Thadn’t caught the undertone of Marcie’s talk, but apparently Celeste did and so did Kelly as I explained what happened through the
dinner. She called me an i***t and stalked off after I finished telling her what happened at the restaurant. She had joined the search for
Celeste and would only occasionally mind link me to remind me that I was an asshole who hurt her friend. I didn’t know what to do. I had
been caught off guard by Marcie’s kiss. I always knew that she wanted more from me, but I had never been interested. I was friendly because the chef made amazing food. I didn’t expect her to make a move on me, especially considering I had brought what I made sure
to point out was my mate.
When I saw Celeste turn and run, it took me a second to react. I ran after her but by the time I was out of the restaurant, I couldn’t see
her. I followed her scent and found pieces of her dress around the corner of the restaurant. I shifted and Atlas tried to catch up to her but
Kara was fast and we both realized that she was much faster than she’d led on. We lost her scent in the woods. She had looked to be
headed to the Pack grounds, but when I reached the borders, my guards at the gate said she hadn’t been by. I had sent every guard and
Marcie and now he was ready to rip her to shreds.
‘Anything?’l mind linked Gillian for the 500th time as I searched the area she’d taken off from to see if we could pick up her any sign
of which way she went.
‘Nothing from the trackers yet,’ Gillian said. It was 11 at night and i knew they were all exhausted. Wherever Celeste was, she didn’t
want to be found. I would spend another night without her.
‘Call them all back to rest. They can start back up again tomorrow, I told him. ‘Yes Alpha, he said. I could feel the sadness in his voice. Everyone loved Celeste.
‘Hey man, you coming back?’ Danny asked.
‘No, I need to keep looking!
“You haven’t eaten or rested in 2 days.’
I need to find my mate.’
‘How are you going to do that if you pass out?
IAM NOT GOING BACK TO AN EMPTY ROOM. I NEED TO KEEP LOOKING,’
my voice and Atlas mixed together through the mind link
unable to keep the raw emotion from my voice.
Danny sighed in my head, At least come back and grab a bag of food. Maya will get something ready for you and for Celeste when you
find her.’
growled and began running
‘Fine, but have it ready by the time I get there or I’ll keep going without it. I’m not wasting my time,’
towards the Packhouse.
I arrived at the pack gates. They were instantly opened as I passed by. I tried not to notice the looks of pity and sympathy from my guards as I passed by.
“Alpha?” Maya said tentatively as I walked towards her. I hadn’t shifted back to human form in 2 days. Atlas nodded for her to
continue as he picked up the bag. I noticed that she had put some clothes in the bag. A dress that smelled like Celeste. We inhaled her scent like a drug. Whimpers coming from Atlas. “Have you considered she’s not in the area?” she asked as Danny came and put his arms around her. Atlas turned away from the sight. It hurt too much to see the love they shared, knowing ours was in tatters at the moment. I
