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

growled at him and struggled to get to her mate.

“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 This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

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.

and closed the partition to give Celeste some privacy. I gently undid her zipper and removed her dress.

I put the pants on and as I was

putting on her shirt, I looked down at her flat belly. Our pup was growing in there. I leaned down to give

her stomach a kiss, my emotions

threatening to overtake my composure. Altas was purring in my head, a fierce protectiveness

emanating from him and me.

The partition opened and Dr West put some gel on her stomach and turned on the ultrasound machine.

I noticed that Gabriel and

Zack had filtered into the room.

“Alpha, everyone from the Blood Moon Pack is in the dungeons. We put silver chains on all of them.

Luna Luisa is requesting that

Sandra be taken off the silver shackles so she can heal,” Zack said.

“Take the silver chains off….in maybe another hour,” I said, and he nodded. He and Gabriel looked torn

between leaving to complete their duty and their concern for Celeste. “You can both stay. I know

Celeste considers you both friends,” I told them and visible relief and

gratitude flittered through their faces before they nodded and went to stand with the rest.

I turned back to Dr West as he fiddled around with the wand probe for a minute or two before he turned

on the sound. A strong heartbeat reached my ears, then Dr. West moved the probe slightly and another

heartbeat joined the first. Everyone was dead silent as they listened to the heart beats of the Crescent

Moon Heirs. My eyes were glued to the monitor as I saw what looked like two tiny beans. Twin pups –

Atlas wagged his tail and summersaulted in my head.

I felt Celeste stir and I looked down at her. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled as she looked up at

me. I bent down to kiss her with every inch of love I felt for her. She responded to my kiss with as much

fervor, before she felt the probe on her stomach. She

scrunched her nose at the monitor. I could see her trying to figure out what she was looking at and I

saw her eyes slightly unfocused as

she started having a conversation with Kara. I could tell exactly the moment she realized what was

happening. She gasped and looked at

me, her eyes tearing up and full of joy. I grinned down at her as her emotions went everywhere. Panic,

worry, love, protectiveness and

above all, joy.
