Alpha Markus and Celeste
Chapter 83
Chapter 83 – Markus
Markus P.O.V.
All of the Alphas seemed to be nice enough. A couple only knew broken English, but they seemed to get along well enough with Celeste and Diego. However, all throughout dinner, I kept seeing Alpha Josue eye f*****g Celeste and that wasn’t sitting well with me and Atlas. Even Diego seemed angry at his blatant disrespect towards my mate. Celeste, however, seemed unphased. She was in quite a happy
mood. She had prepared Gillian’s room while we were away.
“I can’t get over how much you look like your mother. Same rare beauty. Same nice curves,” he said, and I growled.
“Same disinterest in you as well it seems,” Alpha Diego laughed as Celeste ignored his quips as she continued to eat and the rest of the table laughed.
How are you so calm?’ I growled at her, not meaning to sound as harsh as I did.
She raised an eyebrow at my tone but sighed. spent years being verbally assaulted by the unmated warriors in Blood Moon Pack. This guy is pretty tame even though he feels he’s bold for speaking to a Luna this way. I have learned reactions only elicit more
comments. This guy just wants to get a reaction from the mated Alpha. Don’t play into it. He can’t touch me, and even if he tried, Kara
and I would destroy him’
‘That’s my job,’ I grumbled.
‘The only thing we have to worry about is not letting him near Camila before the full moon.’
She said and I looked down to where
Gillian was sitting a few seats down. He was not eating and kept looking at the door every time he saw someone coming through.
‘You told her where to go? ‘I asked her. She had talked to Camila earlier when she took her lunch. She had told Celeste why she was
being forced to hide and Celeste had helped her make a plan to meet Gillian in the maize fields. She had even told Celeste that if she and
Gillian weren’t mate, she would consider accepting him as her chosen mate. Celeste knew better, but had told her if it was what Gillian
wanted, we would support it.
‘Yes, she’s very nervous. Looks like he is too. I hate not being able to tell him but Selene made me promise.’
She sighed. ‘Did you talk
to Evergreen?’
‘Yes, he said he’s too close to finishing. He will catch up to us after the run.’
We later watched our Beta and friend walk into the maize field alone.
Let her be his and he hers. I sent a quick prayer to Selene. I
believed Celeste when she said he would find his mate here, but we could not be 100% sure it was her. We headed to the small stage that
they used for the runs. Alpha Diego gave his speech and then we all looked up as we waited for the moon to reach the peak.
Celeste and I kept our eyes on our people. We were the only mated pair out of the 11 of us that came down. Celeste thought maybe
Gabriel would find his mate so we were excited to see if it was true.
I saw a couple of people start smelling in the air, looking for that intoxicating scent that would be unique to their mate. Celeste grabbed my arm and I looked at Gabriel. He had gone stiff. His eyes were scanning the crowd a trying to sniff. “Mio,” said a woman standing behind him. Gabriel turned around, “Mine” He growled as he grabbed her to him. I saw Celeste do a small shimmy and then Eddie, one of the Spanish speaking guards we brought jumped onto the platform and in front of one of the daughters of an Alpha. “Mine,” he growled as the Alpha stood in front of his daughter defensively. He looked from his daughter to
Igrinned at Celeste and pointed towards him but she was looking at Diego, who was sniffing at the air, scanning the crowd. He
seemed to smell his mate but couldn’t tell where she was. Suddenly, we saw a pretty female running out of the Packhouse. “No aguante,
necesita-” she stopped as she sniffed the air. She started looking around and Diego was in front of her in a flash.
“MIA,” he roared and she gasped. Her Alpha father cheered her on at the match.
Diego pulled her up to the stage before he announced it was time to shift. Everyone who hadn’t seen her shift yesterday gasped and awed lightly at Kara while Atlas stood proudly next to her. Her long black fur blowing in the light breeze. People began running when we
complete.
We were half way through the run when Otto and the pretty wolf he had shielded the day before joined in. He fell in step with us with
Camila’s wolf running at his side.
I opened a link to him and Celeste, I’m happy for you brother.’ I told him and I saw Otto grin as we ran
got your room ready while you were away. Diego assured me it was sound proof,
Celeste added with a giggle.
“Thank you both, but we still need to have a conversation about how you knew,’
he said as we made our way back.
“All in good time,’ I laughed. Unless you want to spend tonight talking about that.’
47**no. She already marked me. I’ve waited too long for her,’ Otto answered and we all laughed. I cut the mind link off and we gave
our congratulations to Gabriel and Eddie and let them know they can skip their next shift to guard.
We were coming around the front of the Packhouse to shift back when I saw Evergreen coming out of the doors. He must have just
finished the scanning. He looked tired. He handed us our clothes that we had left at the side of the door.
“I finished the scanning. I will just need to…” he stopped and looked behind us. His eyes went wide and we turned around as we saw a light brown brindle wolf coming straight for him. I grabbed Celeste and pulled her from the path as it barrelled into him as he growled”
Mine” under his breath.
We waited patiently, Celeste basically vibrating from happiness. She grabbed a shirt and shorts and waited as the girl shifted back, but they remained on the ground until I cleared my throat. The pretty she-wolf blushed and stood up, gratefully thanking Celeste as she
put on clothes.
“I won’t keep you guys long. I am very happy for you Evergreen and ehhh,” I said towards the girl.
“Valeria, Alpha” she said shyly.
“Valeria, welcome to our pack” I said and turned to Evergreen. “You were saying you were finished with the scanning but needed to
do something?
“Right, uhh. Yeah.” He said blankly and I laughed. “We have scanned everything. I just need to create a workable database software
front for easy access. It should take me an hour tomorrow.”
“OK great work. Get going! You have a lot of getting to knowing each other,” I said, and they were gone before leven finished the
sentence.
“Well that was a surprise. We came for information and we found mates for 4 of our pack,” Celeste said brightly.
“Yep!” I said popping the p. “So…what do you want to do?” I asked as we headed back inside the Packhouse. Most people had
retired, or were eating again after the run. Alpha Josue seemed to be looking for someone while he had a woman in each side of his
arms.
“He’s still trying to find Camila,” Tomas said from behind, “I’m about to go break it to him that she’s officially unavailable. I saw her
heading inside with your Beta. She’s already marked,” he smirked. “I’m glad to know she’ll be in good hands, I hope it’s OK if we visit on
occasion.”
“Of course, you are always welcome,” I said.
“Now I gotta get a passport visa,” he sighed as he headed towards Alpha Josue.
guided Tuli towards our room, a sudden thought occurred me, “How are we getting all of our new pack members home without
immigration papers?”
“Oh, I’ve already prepared for that,” Celeste said, and I looked at her in surprise. “I already knew that Gillian might have a mate here,
so I had Evergreen get in touch with a Werewolf contact at US immigrations. As long as they have a birth certificate, we just have to take them to the US embassy in Mexico City the morning before our flight. They will issue them permanent residency identification before we leave. They are expecting us at 9am. Once we get home, they will get a letter for the US Citizenship ceremony.”
“OK, that’s impressive. I didn’t even think to prepare,” I said, and she smiled as she walked in.
“That’s why I’m the Luna and you’re the Alpha,” she teased me and I raised an eyebrow. “How about we go for number 6,” she said as
she walked into the bathroom, tossing the clothes to the side. It took me all of 5 seconds to figure out what she was talking about before
“Good Morning,” I said to the table as we walked in. I had called a meeting of all the warriors and their new mates. “We will try to
keep this brief as we’ve got 1 day to make some decisions.”
I sat at the table with Celeste sitting by my side, chewing on some dried beef stuff she had called machacado. It appeared to be one
of her cravings.
