Alpha Markus and Celeste

Chapter 64 – Markus
Markus P.O.V.
We made our way back and retrieved our clothes before we shifted. I wasn’t going to be wearing the jacket of my suit or the tie for
the rest of the evening. I put on my shirt and I was buttoning it up when Celeste pulled me down by the shirt and crashed her lips into
mine, making me stumble into her and I had to grab her to stop us from going to the floor. I quickly crushed her body to mine and
growled as I pushed her to the back of the stage. My hands went to her ass as I lifted her to me. She couldn’t wrap her legs around me as
her dress didn’t allow her that much movement. Instead, she wrapped the one leg on the side that had a slit on her dress and leaned her body into mine, grinding up against my hardening c**k as I shoved my tongue in her mouth, tasting her. I couldn’t get enough of her. If
this dress was not a gift from her mother, I would rip it off and take her.
Markus, we can’t start eating without you or our Luna, so don’t be thinking you can play hooky,’
Gillian teased over the mind link.
Igroaned and pulled away from Celeste. “I want nothing more than to make sweet sweet love to you, but I’ve just been advised we can’t play hooky to our own celebration dinner,” I told Celeste as I pulled away, trying to adjust my clothes. Celeste giggled and blushed and then turned around, sweeping her long hair over her shoulders for me to pull up the zipper that went down her glorious ass. I pulled it up slowly, letting my fingertips brush up against her skin. I felt her shiver. I grabbed her by the waist and led her to the table. I noticed Kelly sitting next to Rhett looking like they were in their own little world.
‘Enjoy the party, they will be with us the rest of the night,
told my warriors who were still standing near the girls.
‘Thank you Alpha,’ they responded and went to join their families and friends in the celebration.
I switched my attention back to my little seductress, ‘You didn’t tell me Kelly would be Alpha Rhett’s mate,’ Iscolded my Tuli.
She laughed, I didn’t know it would be her. Selene just told me all of our close friends and allies would find their mates. That the
mate bond will make them strong and happy. That this will help us in the struggles ahead.’
‘Wait, does that mean that Gillian will find his soon too?,
Tasked, excited for him. I know even though he put on a good face, he
wanted nothing more than to find his mate.

‘Yes,’ she said mischievously, but didn’t elaborate.
‘Tuli, do you know who Gillian’s mate is.
I asked.
She shook her head as one of the children from the Orphanage came over and gave her a red wild flower that must have been on
one of the teddy bears and put it in behind her ear. ‘All she gave me was a hint and I’m not sharing,’s he told me as she bent and gave the
little boy a kiss. She looked back up at me and smiled.
Keep smiling like that and I’m going to say damn the rules and take you upstairs,’ said and she blushed, but before she could respond, they began serving our food. We were all chatting amicably, except for the Blood Moon Pack. They were mostly by themselves near the end of the table. Sandra, however, was flirting with every possible member of the table that didn’t have a mate. Even the kids avoided their area of the table as they ran around with their toys, playing together and playing with a few Lunas.
I looked over at Celeste. She was eating with a lot of energy, practically wolfing down her food as she chatted amicably with Alpha
Troy and Luna Kiara, who looked a little more relaxed as she played with a 4-year-old little boy who had lost his parents in an attack a
couple of years ago. I made conversation with a few of the Alphas. A couple of Lunas even noticed the decorations and mentioned how
novel of an idea it was to use all-natural decorations for the Harvest Moon. I mentioned the fact that the food was to be donated to a
local food bank and a couple of them complimented us on such a creative idea. It wasn’t until the party was thinning out that I requested all of the Alphas for a meeting tomorrow morning to discuss some matters before they left back to their Packs. The councilmen already knew that I had requested a meeting before coming.
I saw the Blood Moon Pack all make their way out of the party and towards the Alpha’s suite. I mind linked one of the warriors to
keep an eye on their actions. If they tried to leave before the meeting tomorrow, I would need to move the meeting to tonight, so I was to be informed if they tried to leave. I grabbed Celeste and led her to the dancing floor as a slow song began. I wrapped my arms around her
I led her back to the table and we started to chat with a few people. I was in the middle of a conversation with Alpha Nickolas when I felt Celeste’s arm on mine and she whispered that she would be going to the bathroom. A couple of minutes later, I felt Atlas suddenly start pacing in my head, growling lowly.
What’s going on with you? – I asked.
I don’t know. I can’t link Kara. It is like she’s gone to sleep. I don’t like this Markus, go check on mate. –
He said.
I instantly looked to my left and noticed that Celeste still wasn’t back from the bathroom. Both Maya and Kelly were still at the table so she hadn’t taken anyone with her. I tried to link her but I couldn’t connect. I rose, starting to feel panic. I excused myself and almost ran towards the bathroom. She wasn’t in the guest bathroom, but there was a long line. If she needed to go, she would have gone up to
use our bathroom or go use the staff bathrooms. I hurried towards the staff bathrooms first.
I could smell her down the hallway along with a sour scent around the bathroom area. I pushed the door open to find all of the
toiletries from the sink on the floor. There had been a struggle. I let Atlas forward so that we could share his enhanced senses. I went back
out of the bathroom and sniffed. Atlas growled as we recognized the sour smell to be Wolfsbane. Celeste’s smell went a bit past the
bathroom. We walked three steps and kicked the door open. There were two smells here, Celeste and someone else. I looked around the
items in the room to realize what was happening. I went to the open window to see one of Celeste’s shoes right below it.
I opened a mind link to the entire pack. ‘THE LUNA HAS BEEN TAKEN. SPREAD OUT AND FIND HER. SHE WAS TAKEN A FEW MINUTES
OUT FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PACK HOUSE. THEY CANNOT HAVE GONE FAR. FIND AND BRING OUR LUNA HOME.’
I heard the howls
from inside and outside the Packhouse as my pack began to search for their Luna.
Topened a mind link to Gillian, Danny and a couple of guards. Gillian, inform the Alphas and council that Celeste is missing. She was
taken out of Sandra’s room. Guards detain anyone from the Blood Moon Pack.’
‘Yes Alpha,’ they all said as I made my way to the Alpha Suites. I was climbing the stairs two at a time when I felt someone pulling at
my mind link.
“Yes?’l growled.
‘Alpha, we have to find the Luna, Dr West said. I paused.
‘That’s what I’m trying to do, Igrowled back. This was a waste of time. I cut the mind link but then immediately felt Dr West pulling
