Alpha Markus and Celeste novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 – Markus
Markus P.O.V.
Celeste has been sleeping for almost 16 hrs. Breakfast came and went, as did lunch. I was starting to get worried when I finally felt
her stir in my arms. I had spent the morning in our office, trying to catch up on some of the pile of work that had been building up while ! searched for her, but I could not stop myself from checking on her every ten minutes, making sure she was still there. I left the door between the two rooms open so I could hear her heart beat steady and her breathing deep. Barking at anyone that came in and tried to make noise. Finally, at 2,1 had given up on work and crawled into bed with her. Holding her as lightly as I could without waking her, but
close enough to make sure she couldn’t get up without me.
Her breathing changed, she snuggled further into my chest and then her beautiful eyes finally opened. Her sleepy smile broke every
bit of will in me to let her choose to allow me near her, and I started kissing her with all of the emotions I had felt in the last three days. I
kissed her head. I kissed her eyes. I kissed her nose. I kissed her mouth. I tried to kiss her neck, but she grabbed my face and pulled my
head back up to hers. She looked into my eyes and I saw as one of her eyes glowed yellow and the other turned black, before she crashed her lips onto mine, pushing me onto my back as she straddled my chest, never letting go of my face. She finally came up for air. She looked at me while we caught our breath and she removed her dress over her head. She then slid down my chest and released my hard, throbbing c**k. She grabbed it with her hand and gave it a lick from my balls to the top of my shaft, making me throw my head back and
groan. She pulled my c**k into her mouth and took it to the back of her throat. Once she had licked my c**k wet for what felt like a
glorious eternity, she positioned herself on top of me, guiding my c**k to the entrance to her core. We both moaned as she lowered
herself onto me.
This is what I needed. To feel her love through the bond. To feel her becoming one with me. To be inside her. To know I owned her
heart, as much as she owned mine. To know that everything that had happened hadn’t broken what we had. She bit her lip as she started
riding my c**k, looking down at me with hooded eyes. I slid my arms from her hips up to her breast, letting her control the speed. I
kneaded her breast, loving the reactions it elicited from her. When she dropped her head back in ecstasy, I felt my hips buck under her,
my c**k twitching as her walls tried to milk it. She gasped as I grabbed her hips and lifted her slightly, suspending her there as I drove my
hips upwards to sheathe my c**k into her dripping p***y over and over. She started moaning non stop and I knew she was close. I was
close. She dropped her body onto my chest and nipped at my neck as I felt her orgasm shake her walls around my c**k. With a moan,
drove into her a few more times before I also found my release.
We stayed like that for a few minutes as we caught our breath.
“I love you,” she said into my neck. I gripped her hips and wrapped my arms around her.
“I was scared that you would never come back to me,” I admitted. She lifted her head and searched my eyes. I felt her guilt crash into
me and tears drop from her eyes. I kissed the tears away.
“I’m sorry Markus. When I saw her kissing you…all I could think about was how much better she looked at your side. How much you
deserved someone that was beautiful, poised, educated. Someone that had no baggage as your Luna. It hurt so much to feel like maybe you would be better off with someone like her,” She said as she tried to remove herself from on top of me, but I gripped her tight to me,
flipping us over in the bed instead, so that I was on top of her.

“Are you crazy? From the moment I met you, all I’ve been able to think is how lucky I could have been to be paired with someone as
strong and amazing as you. Have you any idea what you have overcome? How strong and amazing you are?” I was almost yelling at her and when her eyes went wide I just crushed my lips to hers, letting my love and admiration for her flow through the bond. “If anyone got screwed in the mate department it was you. I’m nothing but your average alpha. You are my Aztec goddess.”
She squinted her eyes at that, “How did you know that?”
“Know what?” I said, full of confusion.
“That I come from an Aztec blood line.”
“I didn’t. It’s something that Atlas keeps telling me you are,” I said, feeling the smugness from Atlas in my mind, “Are you?”|
She nodded, “I went on this trip. Vision? I don’t know how to describe it. I had a visit with Selene. There’s a lot I have to tell you.” She
said and sat up, caressing my hair in her lap. I listened to everything she saw while she was suspended in fire, which she didn’t know she
had done. My eyes went wide as she told me of the visions on each of the platforms. At first, I would have argued that it was likely just a dream, but she had information she should not know about. My eyes went even wider as she told me about us and sharing powers, while trying to ignore Atlas’ “I told you so” dance while prancing in my head.
After she was done, I was sitting up on the bed in front of her, mulling over everything she had just told me when suddenly, remembered something Rhett had told me long ago. I suddenly got up and ran to the office and grabbed my cellphone. I was dialing by the time I jumped back onto the bed, making her give a tiny yelp. I put the phone on speaker phone.
“Markus, I was about to head for dinner. How can I help you?”
“My apologies Rhett, I was wondering if I could ask you a question about something you had mentioned to me a long time ago about a member of your pack. I have Celeste on speakerphone.”
“Ummm…..sure?” He said hesitantly.
“You once told me you had a hospice pack member in your Packhouse that had been there since your dad was Alpha,” I said and Celeste’s eyes finally went wide as she realized what I was doing. “Is he still alive and can you tell me a little more about him.”
“Why are you asking?” He said.
“Please, I will explain in a little bit. Can you tell me about him?”
“He isn’t really a pack member. My father’s Beta found him near death in the river as they felt someone come into the pack grounds
without permission. He has been in a coma for the last 12 years or so. We could never find out who he is or where he came from.”
“Uncle Lucian,” Celeste whisper yelled, grabbing my arm.
“Is he still in your care?”
“Yes, but he has never woken up in the last 12 years. Who is uncle Lucian?” He asked. I nodded to Celeste to answer.
“My father’s Gamma. The one that saved my life the night my parents died. He jumped in the river to try to find help but I never saw
him resurface.”
“You think that’s who is here?”
“Yes!” she said and nodded at the phone as if Rhett could see him.
“Are we able to come see if it’s him this week?” I asked.
“Of course, but even if he is, he hasn’t come to. He is stable, asleep, so we have never been able to bring ourselves to let him die, but
no one has much hope of him ever waking up. We just do what we can and feed him through an IV. I wouldn’t be a good friend if I didn’t
warn you not to get your hopes up.”
“We understand. I would just like to be able to thank him for saving my life,” Celeste said.
“Let me know when works for you.”
“Thank you my friend. We will be in touch.”
“I’ll bake you cookies!” Celeste squealed at the phone. I heard Rhett chuckle before hanging up. As soon as the phone clicked off,
Celeste jumped in my arms. “Thank you!,” she said. I held her in my arms for a moment before I heard her stomach rumble. I
chuckled.
‘Celeste is awake. We’ll be down for dinner,’ Ilet Maya, Danny and Gillian know.
“Come Tuli, let’s shower and get some food in you,” I said and she jumped off the bed and ran to the bathroom door, stopping at the
entrance and looking back at me with a sultry look.
“You coming?” she asked as she moved into the bathroom, leaving the door open. My c**k twitched and I moved off the bed to
follow.
