Alpha Markus and Celeste
Chapter 66
Chapter 66 – Markus
Markus P.O.V.
I heard two shots and screams sounded from behind me and then in front of me. Atlas ran faster. As we arrived, I saw Celeste ripping
off her silver cuffs and suddenly we heard Kara send a mind link to the entire pack. I was relieved to see them relatively unhurt, but then saw Dash shift back into Danny, a wound on his side, and panic set back in. I was rushing to them before I heard her mind link
Markus! I need you. Help me help Danny’
“I’m right here baby. What do you need. Tell me?” I told her as I dropped to her side.
“I need to heal him, but Kara said it’s going to take a lot of energy, just help us. Hold us. We have to get the silver out.” I wanted to argue with her. I didn’t want her to put herself at risk, but I held my tongue. I knew this could be the difference between Danny making it
through.
Kara knows. She knows about the pup. She said the goddess told her when Celeste was given the wolfsbane. She’s been healing the
pup. She said she can pull on us to heal Danny. We can’t break contact
– Atlas said in my head. I put my hands over hers on top of Danny’s
wound.
I saw Maya’s wolf, Esmeralda, arrive and quickly shift back to Maya. “Gillian hold her,” I said, and Gillian grabbed onto Maya as she
“Everyone out. Head back to the packhouse and secure the prisoner. No one is to remain here but Gillian, Maya and the pack doctor.” I commanded as I started feeling Kara pull on my energy. Celeste’s hands began to glow and then we did. As the pull of energy got stronger, Celeste and Danny floated about a foot off the ground as I stood behind them, making sure my hands didn’t break contact. I watched as a silver bullet slid out of his wound and the silver that had already made it into his blood stream began to dribble out. I started feeling really tired and felt as Kara started to slow the pull of energy, but Celeste hadn’t stopped.
‘That’s enough Tuli. He will live. We’ve healed him. He can finish healing on his own. Stop, It will hurt the pup,
Atlas growled. I felt joy
coming from Celeste for a split second before a feeling of exhaustion took over. The glowing stopped and I felt her faint.
“Dr West,” I growled and the doctor rushed forward, using the stethoscope on her flat stomach to check on our pup. After a bit, he
got up and nodded to me.
“Strong heart beat Alpha. She likely just needs rest but I’d like to monitor her at the Hospital.” I nodded at him before he moved over
to Danny, who was still bleeding, but was conscious and alert.
After getting checked out, Dr West said he could walk back to the Pack Hospital and he would stay there to make sure that there was
no more silver in his system.
“Gillian, please tell the Alphas and the council that we will still be meeting first thing in the morning after Celeste wakes. Let them
know what has happened tonight and that the Blood Moon Pack is officially at war with Crescent Moon for attempting to kill my Luna.
They will remain in the cells. I want them in silver cuffs and chains all night. Anyone from our group that needs to see Celeste can come but they have to be quiet. She needs to rest.”
“Yes Alpha,” Gillian said as we walked into the hospital and I placed Celeste gently down on a bed. Danny refused to leave Celeste and
my side, so they brought in another bed and monitors for him. Maya was at his side, growling at anyone that suggested she move away
so they could get him hooked up. Eventually, the nurses gave up and moved around her as they worked.
Kelly, Rhett, Mrs Quinn, Dad and Marie all filtered into the room with Gillian.
“Some of the Alphas wanted to push the meeting to tonight but I explained that was impossible as your place is with the Luna. Councilman Matthias helped. They will meet us at 10am,” he reported.
Dr. West came into the room with a monitor. He paused at seeing how many people were in his patient room but sighed and
continued his work. I think he realized this wasn’t a fight he would win. He moved the monitor towards Celeste. He looks at her still in her dress and goes to the hanging room partition.
