Alpha Markus and Celeste novel Chapter 5

Markus Chapter 5 – Markus 

Markus POV 

The Territory was big. Almost as big as ours. But while our territory was well maintained and full of life, animal and werewolf, the

Blood Moon territory looked as cruel as its Alpha. A lot of dead undeveloped wilderness. After crossing the territory lines, it was still

another half hour before we actually saw any signs of civilization.

The Packhouse was big. I knew they kept most of their unmated warriors in there, which were a lot. I saw a giant tent filled with

warriors and food. There were a few young females running around refilling beverages and picking up discarded plates. I growled when I

saw men pawing at their bodies as they passed by. I could see a few warriors that were sitting to the side. All seemed to be growling at the

same disrespect. None seemed to want to get involved nor did any of them seem to try to make conversation with anyone. They must be

the guards of the other Packs. I was glad to see when one finally punched a drunk warrior that was pawing a terrified girl as I pulled

around to the front of the Packhouse. At least I knew they would protect the servants if they got too out of hand. As much as I wanted to squeeze the neck of the handsy warriors, I knew I needed to play it cool. 2 days. We just need to be civil for 2 days. We would be out of here first thing on the morning after the full moon run.

My guard/driver opened our door. ‘If they cross a line with the girls, you have my permission to beat them to a pulp. Call for me, I will

make sure you’re not touched. I trust your judgement,’

Tmind linked my 3 guards.

They all nodded at me as they heard someone at the door. “Alpha Markus, welcome to the Blood Moon Pack. Everyone is sitting down for dinner. I’ll escort you to the dining room and let the kitchen know you’ve arrived.” A fairly small female addressed me with a bowed head. I took her figure in; she looked to be skin and bones. I sighed internally. I knew my conscience, my wolf, and the bigger

picture were going war with each other the entire time I was here.

“Thank you,” I said, following the small omega to a giant dining room. There were two seats close to the middle of the room, “Alpha Geoff, thank you for hosting us,” I managed to say with a pleasant voice. I could feel my wolf growl in my head. Neither of us liked this

man.

“Alpha Markus! Glad you could join us. May I present the guest of honor for tomorrow and the reason you’re here. My daughter

Sandra.” He motions to a girl to his left hand side. I bow my head in her direction as she tries to shoot a sultry look my way. We sat in our tables and exchanged greetings with the rest of the men at the table. Everyone was already eating appetizers from plates scattered down the middle of the giant dining table. I took a bit of a few plates, though I must admit that it all looked pretty appetizing. I bit into a bacon wrapped scallop that seemed to be topped with some sort of creamy substance on top and had to suppress a moan. The taste exploded in my mouth.

“Oh wow” I heard Gillian say as he bit into what seemed to be some type of eggroll. “This is amazing.” He motioned for me to try the

one I’d loaded on my plate.

He was not wrong. It wasn’t a typical eggroll. It seemed to be some sort of tex-mex variation with black beans, cheese, chicken and

jalapeno. My eyes wanted to roll into the back of my eyes. I dug in then, not bothering much with the chit chat except to agree with people that were praising the food. I managed to nab a few of the remaining egg rolls as the appetizer plates were taken from the table with a few disappointing grunts from the men at the table. Not that there was much left. I wasn’t the only one that enjoyed the

food.

The main course was simple and yet I could swear it was the best damn thing I have ever tasted. It was a Garlic butter chicken with
