Celeste P.O.V
I was so happy to know that Maya was coming with us. It felt like it would be less scary with someone I
knew there. Kara was still
sleeping after healing me for 3 days, but I could feel her soft purring every time Markus touched us.
We entered the house. I could feel people looking our way.
“Where are your rooms ladies?” Zack asked. I frowned. I didn’t want him to see where I slept.
“This way,” Maya said.
“Uhh, I’ll just go grab my stuff while you help her with hers,” I told Zack.
“Luna, I was instructed to go with you,” he reminded me.
“I’ll be fine. It won’t take very long. I won’t need help packing,” I assured him, “I’ll be done before Maya,
and I’ll meet you in her room.
He hesitated then said, “Yes Luna,” and followed Maya.
Tran over to the half bath that had been my room for the last 5 years. I looked at the items there. Was
there really anything I wanted
to bring with me? I needed the few clothes I had as I was still in the hospital gown. Thankfully, I was
thin enough that it circled me all the
way around. I pulled a bag I’d gotten from the kitchen on the way here. Carefully folded the 4 pairs of
outfits I still had left. Sadly, one of the two new sets was ruined the night of the full moon. I was looking
for my brush when I heard someone come up behind me.
“So the little b***h is finally alone.” I froze, recognizing Sandra’s voice. “You have some nerve, taking
what’s mine. Then pretending
to be a victim.”
“I haven’t stolen anything. I swear,” I said

“LIAR!! First you took everyone’s attention. Then you took my mate. I was supposed to find my mate
that night, not you. Alpha
Markus belongs to me.”

Theard Kara growling in the back of my mind – They already know the truth, let me have a go at her.
We shouldn’t. We will get Markus in trouble and you need to rest-I begged her.
She’s asking for it. She wants our mate. – Kara growled
“He is my mate, he never belonged to you,” I said. I felt my eyes begin to glow. This time it was me. I
was giving a warning.
Sandra blinked, shocked by my actions, then she growled and charged me, her claws extending from
her fingers.
“STOP!”I heard Markus command in his Alpha voice. Sandra could do nothing but obey. “You dare
attack my mate again? Do you know the penalty for attacking a Luna?”
“I should be your mate, not that worthless piece-“She stopped when Markus’ eyes glowed and then
turned black. His wolf roared
and the windows shook.
“You will not speak of my mate this way. Alpha Geoff, get this pup out of my sight before I take back
everything I said in that meeting.
” His wolf warned.
Alpha Geoff grabbed her by the throat and dragged her away, “WHAT THE f**k DID I TELL YOU?
STAY THE F**K AWAY FROM HER. ARE
YOU TRYING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED? WHY CAN’T YOU DO ANYTHING If*****g ASK OF
YOU? DISA-FUCKING-POINTMENT IS ALL I GET
FROM YOU.”
I looked back at Markus. His eyes were still black, “Where is Zack,” he growled, turning to Beta Gillian.
“I will find out Atlas. Can you please let Markus come back?” Beta Gillian said quietly, as if not to rattle
Markus’ wolf’s fragile
control.
Welped
“You were supposed to be with her! She could have been killed!!” Atlas roared. Everyone bowed their
heads and exposed their necks. I was unaffected, so I moved in front of Zack as Atlas approached,
worried that he would get in trouble. It made him halt his steps.
“It’s my fault,” I said, standing at my full 5’9″ height. I wasn’t about to let anyone get hurt because of
me.
“He disobeyed my order. He put you at risk. He must be punished. Please step aside little one,” he
growled, eyes still zeroed in on
Zack.
I needed to diffuse the situation. Instead of moving aside, I moved forward slowly. Gillian seemed to
hesitate, as if wanting to interfere, but I held my hand up to him. Asking him to wait. When I was within
reach, I touched his chest. Atlas finally broke the glare he
was giving Zack to look down at where my hand was on his chest. Without much ceremony, I was
grabbed and crushed to his chest. He inhaled deeply and after a few more whiffs, I felt his arms relax a
little more but they didn’t let me go. I saw Beta Gillian’s eyes wide with shock. Then he smirked and
winked at me. I pulled back after a minute, Kara was quick to grumble in my head with the loss of
contact.
“I’m sorry,” I said, “I told him to go help Maya. I don’t have a lot of stuff to pack.” I looked up and saw
that his eyes were back to
normal. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
He sighed, “I would prefer that you have a guard with you at all times while not in our territory. It is not
safe otherwise,” He said with a pointed look. I blushed. “Zack, please load Maya’s belongings into the
car. We are leaving now. I don’t want to be here any longer than we need to. I will help the Luna.”
I looked back at Zack and mouthed “Sorry” to him. He looked at me and smiled in gratitude. A small
growt escaped Markus’ chest and I tried hard not to giggle.
“So, where is your room,” he smiled and I paled.
