Alpha Markus and Celeste

Chapter 22

Markus P.O.V

It’s been two days. Maya and Celeste were starting private tutoring lessons today after we found and

vetted someone. I was still

proud of her for wanting to get an education. We were still waiting for dad’s witch friend to be fully

vetted. I wasn’t comfortable with a

witch knowing about her abilities, but there was no avoiding it. Celeste needed help only she could

provide.

Danny had arrived last night but I let him take a hot shower and good night’s rest before I hounded him

for any information that he

had. Unfortunately, that wasn’t much. These traffickers were very good. They dealt with the

transactions digitally with encryption and made things hard to track. I was surprised that they seemed RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

to have such a sophisticated set-up. Alpha Geoff was añoaf. It was hard to

reconcile this level of sophistication with the man.

“So….when do I get to meet the Luna? Or are you ashamed of me?” Danny asked.

“I have always been ashamed of you, my friend.” He laughed. “She’s busy at the moment. She will be

done around 4 and then she’s decided to cook you dinner.” I smiled, thinking about my little ball of fire.

She was slowly opening up a little more. I knew it was hard for

her. After living with a lie and being discarded for 12 years, it was hard for her to realize that someone

could care for her. But Atlas and I were determined to win over our mate. We had seen the interest in

her eyes, we just had to nurture that interest and turn it into a raging fire that rivaled ours. We spent

hours in my bed each night, playing 20 questions. I wanted to get to know her. I wanted her to know

me. I knew I already loved her with every fiber of my being, but I needed to wait for her to catch up.

Atlas had a hard time reigning himself in while we made out in bed. Sometimes wanting to push

forward and claim her, but I reminded him of what she’d been through and he

would settle down somewhat. It didn’t stop either of us from occasionally squeezing her fantastic ass.

“A Luna cooking? Should I prepare my anti-acids?”

“Ask Gillian about her cooking,” I smirked. I was looking forward to her cooking, though I still thought it

would eventually get to be too much for her. Gillian’s mother was also spending a few days a week

helping her learn what her responsibilities of a Luna entailed. I

was afraid it was going to be information overload soon.

“Hmm, he’s saying he’s pre-requested seconds and is wearing his stretchy pants to dinner today. Is it

that good?” He asked. I

nodded.

“OK, what else do we need to talk about that you couldn’t tell me over the phone?” He asked.

Ileaned back in my chair, “It’s about Celeste and who she is.”

“She’s the daughter of those people from the Sky Moon that got killed right? You already told me that.”

“Did I mention her blood line?”

He frowned, “No, what about it.”

I gave him all of the information my father had given us. At the end of the explanation he whistled,

“Damn, you got one interesting

mate.”

“Tell me about it. She’s f*****g perfect.”

“It sounds like the mighty 1-don’t-need-a-mate has been turned into man putty.”

“When you meet her, it will make sense,” I assured him, “When you hear what she’s been through, you

will admire her, and when you

see what kind of person she is, you will vow to protect your Luna just like I have.”

“Forget the man putty, you’ve fallen hard brother.”

I smiled. “Just waiting for her to catch up in that department. She’s like this little ball of fire that isn’t

used to someone caring for her.

“Well, we both know I don’t know s**t about women, but whatever you need. I will tell her you’re a great

Alpha and a romantic and

s**t. You know, lie”

I laughed.

to stay on target despite his carefree personality.

I sighed, “I am not sure yet. We have a couple of weeks before we have to decide. Alpha Rhett is

coming by later on,” I smirked, “He

decided to change his meeting to tonight when he heard Celeste was cooking.”

“Well damn, now I’m curious.”

“You won’t be disappointed.”

“I’m going to go see my grandparents. Let me know when dinner is ready”

‘How’s it going, Tuli?’

‘Shhh, I’m trying to learn’ she said and cut the mind link.

I laughed. Mate is dedicated. She will be an excellent Luna –

Atlas purred with pride for what seemed like the 50th time in the last

week. Danny thought I was man putty, he hadn’t seen Atlas talk about our mate.

Still, I missed her already, so I casually passed by the makeshift class room we had made from one of

the common rooms in the

Packhouse for her and Maya. I looked at her from the little window in the door. I couldn’t smell her from

here, so I knew that I wasn’t

going to distract her. Still, I was surprised when she looked out the little window and met my eyes. I

grinned and waved. ‘Sorry, I will let

you study.’ She just smiled and turned back to her tutor.

I wondered back to my office and started doing some work. My assistant came in and gave me the

things I’d ordered for Celeste. I

can’t wait to give it to her.

Two hours later, I smelled Celeste on the other side of the door. I heard a light knock. “Come in.”

“I’m done with my lesson. I’ll be starting dinner in an hour but I just wanted to spend some time with

you,” She said, blushing.

“Come here,” I said, swiveling around on my chair so that she could sit on my lap. I inhaled her scent

as she wrapped her arms around me. I loved the fact that she was getting more comfortable with my

touch, “Are you enjoying all the lessons you’re having?”

“Yes, there’s a lot more to being a Luna than I knew. Luna Luisa never seemed to do any of them and

Mrs Quinn is very patient. She’s

teaching me how to use her computer so I can access all the stuff.”

“Hmm, about that. I got something for you,” I opened the desk drawer and pulled out the phone and the

laptop. “The laptop is to

help with your assignment and your duties. The phone is so we can communicate if you’re ever off the

Pack Grounds.”

She blushed and kissed me lightly on the lips. Unable to stop myself, I pulled her closer and deepened

the kiss. I gently requested

access to her mouth. She gave a tiny little moan that made my c**k hard and opened her mouth for me.

Her sweet taste fueled my desire.

She pressed herself forward, her heavy breasts pressing against my chest. It was my turn to moan as I

moved my right hand from her butt

to her luscious breast, pushing her shirt up along with it. I felt my c**k twitch, struggling against my

jeans, when I felt her n****e harden

under my touch. She grinded her s*x on my c**k as if on instinct. I shuddered. “f**k, we should stop

before I take you right here in my

office.”hated saying those words, but I knew she wasn’t ready. She pulled back and hugged me tightly,

putting her head on my chest,

and she sighed.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that,” she said. I pulled her head upward to look back down at her.“I

love every time you touch me.

Please don’t stop.” She smiled and gave me a light kiss. “I’m going to go change and get started on

dinner.

dessert. Come taste test the custard if you have time.”
