Chapter 85 – Markus
Markus P.O.V.
Danny almost got rejected and somehow Celeste made everything better. She helped him and Maya figure out the misunderstanding. Now, my childhood friend was expecting a pup. I walked over to Celestë, whooping for Danny. I dipped my head and
gave her a giant kiss. She smiled slightly dazed back up at me. I wondered if she knew how proud I was of her.
Daniel was still in shock. Nothing but love and shock evident in his eyes. He pulled back slightly from Maya, lifting her face with his
hands tenderly until she met his eyes.
“Is this true? Is my pup in there?” He asked her. She nodded and the biggest smile formed on his face. He grabbed her face and
kissed her over and over and my heart was overfilled with joy. He suddenly threw his head back and howled. Gillian and I threw our heads
back and joined him.
“I’m going to be a dad. I am having a pup,” he said as he grabbed Maya, lifting her up bridal style, and carried her over to the front of
Packhouse. “I’M HAVING A PUP,” he yelled as she laughed.
“I’m going to spoil you rotten. I am never letting you walk again,” he said as he carried her back inside.
“Danny, I have to walk,” Maya said.
“Yeah Danny, weren’t you the one that said I was being over protective of Celeste when I found out she was pregnant? You said
she-wolves have been having pups for thousands of years. Give her some space or she’ll tear out your nuts and feed them to the Pack,”I
teased my friend.
Danny growled back in response, but there was 0 heat behind it. “Danny, why don’t you just go schedule an appointment with Dr. West so he can determine if Maya will require any special vitamins so she can carry the pup safely.” Celeste said, and he seemed to think on it before he nodded and turned back towards the door.
“She can walk Danny,” I yelled after him.
“Not until Dr. West says she can,” He screamed back on his way out the door.
I snickered at his response. “Well, I need a nap after that,” Celeste told me. I looked down at her and then lifted her into my arms and
“Your wish, my command,” I smirked down at her and she rolled my eyes, but I saw her smile.
“I hope you like your new digs, Camila! We’ll connect after dinner,” She called over my shoulder, yawning at the end.
“Thank you Luna,” she called.
“Everyone, I’d like to introduce you to several new members of the pack. Camila is our new Beta Female. Brenda is mated to Gabriel
and will be the twins’ guard. Valeria is mated to Evergreen, both of whom will take up permanent residence in the Packgrounds from now
on. I hope you all welcome them warmly. Eddie also found his mate and has chosen to join her Pack to be their new Beta. I wish him all
the luck and blessings of the moon goddess.”I waited for all the welcomes to be done.
“Now, Danny and Maya have an announcement” I said, sitting down at the dinner table and letting them take the floor.
“Maya and I are having a pup.” Danny said, puffing his chest out. There were many congratulations and a fair number of quiet chuckles as many of them had already heard him yell it through the packhouse repeatedly before he also yelled it out the open car
window on his way to tell his grandparents.
“Our pack has been many times blessed over the last couple of months. May Selene keep smiling down on us. Let’s eat!” I said.
We started digging into the steak and mashed potatoes that Mrs Wriley had cooked for us, when one of the staff came walking in with a bottle of siracha and cubed pickles. She set it in front of Celeste, who took it and enthusiastically mixed it with her mashed
potatoes. She looked up and noticed everyone was looking at her.
“What?” she said as she put a spoonful of the weird mixture into her mouth.
down.
It’s not that weird is it?’ She asked me via mind link.
I grinned at her, took my fork and tried it. I did my best not to show my reaction when the heat and vinegar hit my tongue. “It’s pretty
good,”I lied.
“You know I can feel you’re lying to me, right?” Celeste laughed, but at least she started eating again.
Way to take one for the team – Atlas approved of our sacrifice, though I could feel my stomach rolling over on itself already.
After dinner, Celeste, Camila and Maya went into the conference room to meet and talk about their Pack responsibilities, how things
work and what’s been happening.
Danny, Gillian and I went into our almost finished office. We needed to design a space for all of us to work. Now that the ranks had
filled out, the offices needed to be reconfigured. Again. We decided that we would turn my and Celeste’s new office into the conference/meeting rooms. We would knock down some of the bedrooms on the third floor. Only Dad and Marie occupied that entire
floor now and their large apartment was at the end of the west wing. We were placing the offices at the end of the east wing.
None of us wanted separate offices, so we decided to set up a large office area with 3 double desks for each of us. Across from it, we
would set up two mini conference rooms for project planning as needed. We also figured we’d surprise the girls by creating a day care room of sorts for our pups. We were just finalizing rough plans for it when the entire packhouse went dark. The emergency lights turned on and I heard the newly installed shutters begin to close. A loud speaker could be heard advising all women unable to fight, pregnant
women, children and seniors to make their way to the Packhouse. The three of us ran out of the office and were met by Celeste, Maya and
Camila coming out of the conference room. Gabriel, Brenda, Zack and George showed up and stood around the girls defensively.
Celeste tried to say something but the blaring was so loud, all I saw was her lips move. I opened a communication to my warriors.
Grabbing Celeste close.
‘What is going on? Who breached the border?’ / asked.
‘We’re not sure Alpha. We haven’t seen or felt anything cross the borders,’
