Alpha Markus and Celeste novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7 – Markus 

Markus P.O.V. 

I wanted to go ask the cook to run away with me. I could imagine eating this all my life. These last two days were worth the trio just

for the damn food. Putting up with Alpha Geoff’s pompous ass was irritating, but the moment I would put the food in my mouth, Atlas

would just start wagging and running around like a mad wolf. For a grumpy wolf, he sure seemed to enjoy the cook’s food.

I looked at Gillian with a little bit of jealousy. He’d gone to see if he could find anyone willing to talk to us and came out with a second

helping of eggs benedict. Now it was lunch time and he was still eating like he’d missed breakfast. Lucky bastard.

‘Stop being madi got more food than you did. What else could I have used as a cover?’

He mind linked me when he saw me look at

him eating the Philly Cheese steak.

‘You could have shared. It’s not like you got anything out of the girls,’

I said.

‘Yeah, those girls look simply terrified. I don’t think they believe we can protect them. The only one I didn’t get a chance to talk to

‘Sounds like you’re smitten

I teased.

‘She is pretty, but not for me. I will wait for my mate. I could tell it wouldn’t be her.’

‘You can tell without the full moon?’ I asked, genuinely curious.

My mom always said you should be able to feel some sort of pull towards your mate, some sort of attraction. Full moon or not. They are chosen for you at birth, so it’s always there. You can feel it to some extent. The Full moon just helps the bond snap into place!

‘Hmm. Interesting,’ I could feel Atlas listening closely. His behavior lately was a little weird, but I figured he was just on edge from

being in enemy territory.

I don’t think we’re going to get anyone here to help. He’s got everyone scared for their life,

he finished.

I sighed, ‘Yeah, I was afraid of that. At least we get two more outstanding meals out of this trip.

I smirked.

“Yeah. I can’t wait for dinner.’

‘Dude, you literally have lunch in your mouth right now and you’re thinking about dinner?’

Ilaughed at him while taking a bite of my

own fish tacos. They were so good. I was eyeing another plate that seemed to not have an owner. I know there were extras, so I chose a
