Alpha Markus and Celeste

Chapter 73

Chapter 73 – Markus

Markus P.O.V.

It’s been three days. Celeste is still freezing all of us out. She speaks the bare minimum to get her work

completed, then spends any free time in our bedroom watching TV with Melissa. It was torture to go up

each night. Not being able to touch her, seeing her nightsstand littered with used tissue, knowing she

cried herself to sleep. I was trying to respect her rules, but I was slowly losing my sanity. The only

words she directed to me every day was to ask if they had found them and then she would shut me out.

Even her appointment with Dr West, she had changed the timing of the last one so I had missed it,

instead asking.Dr West to give me a copy of the ultrasound and summary of what was discussed

during the appointment.

Melissa was my only source of information, since Kara was also freezing out Atlas. We were moody

and short-tempered with everyone. Melissa was only allowed to tell me that my Tuli was eating, but

also told me that she was now “more sad than pissed”. Everyone in the packhouse was miserable as

they saw their Alpha and Luna fighting.

Finally, not knowing what else to do, I asked Mrs Quinn and Marie to meet me at dad’s apartments.

They both looked sympathetic

when they saw me walk in.

“Please help me,” I just about cried, “I can’t do this much longer. I miss my mate.” I was past the point

of pathetic and both women took pity on me. They gave me advice on why my actions triggered

Celeste the way they did, and what I might be able to do to get her to

talk to me. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

I got back to my office and began looking at everything I might be able to use.

If this doesn’t work, I say we lock ourselves in the

room with her until she talks to us –

Atlas growled. Kara wasn’t speaking to him either. The few times he’d tried she would only open the

connection long enough to remind him of what she’d do to our manhood and shut him out again.

I was contemplating Atlas’ plan when Gillian burst through the door, Danny right behind him. They

looked pretty excited. “What’s

going on?” I say. Gillian put the phone down on the desk. “Evergreen you’re on speaker phone.”

“Good Morning Alpha. I was just telling Beta Gillian that I finally managed to make contact with Luna’s

distant family. They are willing

to meet next month. They are a bit remote, so the sooner we can get back to them, the better they can

prepare.”

“That’s great Evergreen. I will call you shortly with a response,” I said.

“Yes Alpha,” he said and hung up the call.

“Why wouldn’t you accept the invitation?” Danny asked. “You know Celeste already said we were

going.”

I sighed and reclined back in my chair. “Because I’ve already f****d up enough not telling her about

Sandra and Luisa. I’m not about

to make any more decisions on her behalf without-” The half open door burst all the way open and

Celeste walked in, flying into my

arms, tipping over the chair past the point of no return. I managed to grab her as we went down and

hugged her to my chest to prevent her from hurting herself. My head hit the back of the chair with a

whack and I saw stars for a second. The pain was not important though,

as I felt the rush of sparks dance down my entire body. Goddess I’d missed her.

“Are you OK?” I asked her. She smiled and dipped her head down to my lips. My reaction was

instantaneous. I felt my d**k hardening

at her soft touch. Four days sleeping next to my Tuli without being able to touch her had given me the

biggest case of blue balls in

history. I growled as I felt her tongue demanding entrance to my mouth.

‘Leave,’l mind linked my friends.

‘Way ahead of you,’ Gillian and Danny responded as I heard the door close shut.

The moment I heard the click, I pushed my hands into her hair, pushing my tongue into her mouth and

groaned. I love the taste of

her. She tasted better than the sweetest nectars, and I was starving for her. I let one of my hands

wonder down to her breast. She moaned and pressed against me. I couldn’t take the foreplay right

now. I needed to feel her, feel how her walls gripped my d**k. I slid backwards until we were out of the

chair. Her hands going straight for my pants button. She purred when my d**k sprung loose and then I

felt her wet folds cover the tip of my d**k as she positioned herself over it. I was grateful then that she

was wearing a skirt today. I swore lightly as she lowered herself on me, swallowing my shaft. My eyes

rolled to the back of my head as I felt her walls adjust to my size, her juices

coating my d**k and balls. She moaned as she started riding my d**k. I dug my fingers into her hips,

trying to slow her down. I would not

last long if she kept up the pace.

She looked down at me, her eyes glowing and she shook her head, her infinite curls falling over the

sides, “Don’t stop. I need you,” she whispered to me and I lost the last threads of my control. I picked

her up slightly and slammed her back onto my shaft, earning me a gasp and a moan of pleasure

rippling through Celeste. I couldn’t look away at the look of pleasure that was on her face. f**k, she was

gorgeous. I started feeling my balls tighten and I could feel through the mate bond she had reopened to

me that she was close too. I pulled her down to me, her face on the crook of my neck, giving me

access to hers. I drove into her faster and faster as I started to suck on my mark on her neck. She bit

my shoulder as she screamed my name and I exploded inside her. Holding her tight to me.

We laid there on the floor for a few minutes. I was relishing in being able to have her body close to

mine again, feeling the bond sparks, when she started to move away. I held onto her and looked down

at where her face was on my chest, “Don’t leave again please,” ! pleaded. I couldn’t do it anymore. I

couldn’t be away from her. I felt like a part of me was missing for the last 4 days. She kissed my chin

and rolled over to where she was laying beside me. Her hand on my chest, drawing small circles on it.

“I’m sorry,” I said, looking up at the ceiling, “I should not keep things from you. I was worried about the

stress on the pups but

instead, I just made it worse. We work better together.”

“I’m sorry too. I was hurt and angry, but I took it too far. My hormones are all over the place. I was

coming to talk when I heard what

you said to Gillian and Danny,” she answered.

“When is your next Dr appointment” I asked, not wanting to dwell on the past 4 days. I had my

soulmate back and I would do whatever I needed to make sure I never lost her again.

“30mins.” she said, looking at her phone. “Will you come with me?”

I turned on my side so we were facing each other. “I wouldn’t miss it.” I kissed her nose.

“I want to cook tonight. Creamy Tuscan chicken with saffron rice,” She said as I helped her up from the

ground. We adjusted our

clothing.

“That sounds amazing. Do you need someone to help you?” I asked.

“No, it’s fairly simple.” I tried to stand up my chair again but the back leg was broken. Celeste blushed

when she saw, “Sorry, I was a

little too eager,” she giggled.

“It was old anyway,” I said, mind linking the assistant to order a new one. “Come, let’s go check on our

pups,” I grabbed her by the waist and we headed to the Packhouse. I saw several people’s faces light

up seeing we were no longer fighting. “So, shall I tell Gillian we accept the invitation to head to

Mexico?” I asked.

“Yes, maybe by the time we get back, the elders will have captured Sandra and her mom,” she

answered wrapping her around my

waist too. It felt so right. Atlas was wagging his tail again in the back of my head and I could tell he was

talking to Kara too.

We arrived at the Dr appointment. Dr West seemed happy with the progress of Celeste’s weight and

blood tests. Celeste laid down

and lifted her t-shirt to reveal her stomach. Seeing her tiny bump made me feel so much joy as I held

her hand and waited to hear those

wonderful strong heartbeats again.

“The pups look to be growing quite well. They will be large, something normal with Alpha pups and

since you’re both of Alpha lineage, we can expect that bump to grow quite large before the end of the

pregnancy. Given your small frame, we might need to discuss bed rest as we near full term, but we will

cross that bridge when we come to it. Other than that, everything appears to be going great. Keep

eating as you are, we are seeing very positive results,” he smiled at us, “Next week, we should be able

to tell the stx of the babies,

unless you want to speed things up with a blood test.”

“We can wait?” Celeste said as she looked at me to confirm

:”As long as the three of you are happy and healthy. We can definitely wait,”I told the Doc.
