Markus P.O.V.
Text: Alpha, something is wrong with Luna. She seems upset. She won’t talk to me about it.
I wasn’t sure what was wrong. I couldn’t mind link so far away from me and her phone hadn’t arrived yet.
Let’s go to mate. What if she’s still injured – Atlas whined and we got in the car and drove.
Text: Alpha! Please tell me you’re close. The Luna just started crying and won’t talk. I don’t know what to do.*
Text: Omw
I practically ran the whole way to the store. My heart almost broke when I heard her sobs from outside the changing rooms.
‘She wouldn’t stop!’ she complained. Weve gone to 15 different stores and we spent so much money. I’m sorry. I couldn’t stop her. / kepta tally, I can return a lot of it later. Please don’t be mad.’
“How much do you think you spent today’ I was realizing why she was upset.
It was $6,783. I’m sorry. Please don’t be mad.’
I tried. I really tried not to laugh but it bubbled out of me, making me clutch my stomach. I had tears in my eyes when I was done laughing and Celeste was just looking at me with a slight smile but confusion still evident in her eyes. Her stomach growled and I laughed as I watched the beautiful blush that rose to her cheeks.
I had her wrap her arm around mine after I dismissed everyone. I took her to the food court. Although I wanted to take her to a fancy
restaurant, I remembered that she mentioned she never had take out food. Hled her to a fast food Chinese place then settled us in a
booth. The little noises she was making while eating the food were almost too much for me. I could feel my c**k twitch each time a little moan came out of her mouth. I didn’t trust myself to touch her right now. I just did my best to eat and not look creepy while I stared at
her.
“You’re barely eating,” she said. I took a bite of my food and grinned at her.
“I’m sorry I had a breakdown. I thought you would be mad at how much money we were spending. I guess I didn’t realize that money wasn’t important to you.” She frowned.
“But?” I asked
“We’ve never had control over our lives, food, money, clothes. We’ve worked for nothing and gotten even less than that. I will take this gift, but I need to pull my weight. I need work,” she said with a stubborn look on her face.
“You are the Luna -“
“Not for two months. I can’t not do anything for two months. I don’t want to be a burden. If I am to be Luna, I need to be productive. ” Her determination surprised me, but Atlas was just puffing his chest proudly.
