Alpha Markus and Celeste novel Chapter 14

Celeste Chapter 14 – Celeste 

Celeste P.O.V. 

Thadn’t been outside of Blood Moon Pack in almost 12 years. I only vaguely remember my parents’ lands. I felt a sense of wonder and

appreciation at Markus waking me up to see the grounds. The beautiful river reminded me of the river behind my parents’ grounds.

There was a beautiful gate with CM in the front of a bridge that seemed to be the only way in. As we drove, I saw several wolves running

on either side of the black SUV. Some would howl playfully at us. When we got to the Packhouse i marveled at the size. It was easily 3

times bigger than the one at Bloom Moon. It stood 6 stories high. It was pristine white and beautifully landscaped grounds. As soon as

Markus let me out of the car, he wrapped his arms lightly around my waist. I was still not used to physical contact, so I was tempted to

freeze at the touch, but his scent and the warmth his touch provided had me practically melting against him.

“Welcome Home,” he whispered and my heart stirred in a way it hadn’t in over a decade. Just then, I saw some pups running towards us yelling for me followed by some frazzled parents behind them. I bent down to take the pictures they offered me. They were of a girl

with a moon on top of her head.

She appeared to be glowing. I assumed that it was supposed to be me, as they didn’t yet know what I looked like. Their gift moved

me and I was on the verge of tears. “Thank you. I love them so much,” I said.

“Come, let me give you ladies the tour,” Markus said as Maya got out of the car that had just pulled up behind us.

We walked through the double doors and I almost gasped. The foyer was giant. There were about 6 doors to either side.

“To the left you will find the common room, rec room, and formal dining room. The right has the kitchen, and the dining area.” We walked through the right side door and this time I couldn’t stop the gasp that came out of my mouth. The kitchen was twice the size of the one at Blood Moon Packhouse. If I thought the kitchen equipment there was up to date, I was sorely mistaken. This kitchen had walls

of cabinets, two refrigerators, one walk-in freezer, a giant pantry. There were three ranges with ovens, and two rotisserie ovens. I could

see out the doors to a range of grills. I turned to look at a smiling Markus, “I take it you like the kitchen?”

Igrinned. “This is amazing! You could cook for an army in here!” I said.

He laughed. “Well, we feed about 300 people a day from here. Come, you can come play in here later and I’ll introduce you to the

cooking staff. Let’s keep the tour going.” I took his outstretched hand.

“The first floor is mostly common areas, offices and where staff live. The second floor is for guests. Third floor is for High Ranking

guests and extended family. 4th and 5th floors are for my Gamma and Beta. The top floor is ours.” I blushed at the word ‘ours’.

“Do you not house warriors here?” I asked “Warrior quarters are in the building next to us,” he answered.

“Alpha,” I heard Maya hesitantly, “where will stay?” she asked.

“For now, you will stay on the third floor. After you’re settled into Pack life here, we can discuss you moving somewhere else. I would

imagine the transition will be easier for you both if you do it together,” he said.

I couldn’t help it. I was so moved by his thoughtfulness that I hugged him.

For someone that doesn’t know how to receive physical contact, you sure don’t seem to be able to keep your hands off him – said smugly.

Are you seriously complaining? – asked.
