Alpha Markus
Chapter 40

Celeste P.O.V.

We walked towards the next platform. The mists swirled around us. Revealing another scene.

We were at Alpha Geoff’s office. The table was flipped over. A younger Alpha Geoff was pissed. He was red in the face. Beta Trevor was against a wall, looking scared.

“Everything we did for nothing. That b***h killed herself and her little b***h of a daughter is nowhere to be found. How did you f**k this up? You had one job, Trevor. Find her b***h of a pup while I took care of Alpha Cory and took her b***h of a mom as my Luna.”

“Alpha, we looked for her everywhere. She is either dead or they snuck her out before the fight began. We couldn’t even replace pictures. We found the Beta’s b***h destroying the phones and pictures in the Packhouse. There was nothing to tell us what the child looked like. None of the children we have in the dungeon match the age.”

“We have the council breathing down our necks and nothing to show for it. If they replace all these pups and she-wolves.….”

“Gamma Gabriel has everyone down in the old dungeons in the forest. No one knows about them. We can keep all the bitches there until the investigation is over. Then we can see if any warriors replace a mate. We can kill the rest. The pups can work the Packhouse until they get their wolves. Some of the warriors are having trouble controlling their wolves. They need mates.” Beta Trevor said and my eyes widened, knowing this whole thing was his idea.

“If they replace them, I will personally end your life in the most painful way I can think of before the council can even get their hands on me. Get the f**k out of my office and have someone fix this. Have Luisa come to my bedroom. That b***h will be good for something after all,” he growled.

“Alpha, if I may. I think it would be good for the warriors to see you with a Luna. She already has your pup. Perhaps..” Beta Trevor’s voice trailed off as he saw how angry his Alpha was.

“DO NOT TELL ME WHO TO CHOOSE AS A LUNA” Alpha Geoff held Beta Trevor by the throat against the wall.

He let Beta Trevor drop to the ground, before he exited he said, “I’ll mark the b***h after the investigation. I’m supposed to have wanted the Luna of that pack for mine anyway.”

He left and after a few minutes Luna Luisa walked into the room. Beta Trevor was still massaging his throat. “So….”

“He’ll mark you after the investigation is over,” he said, looking at her with l**t in his eyes.

“Perfect, that gives us a few weeks together” she purred.

“Why do you need to be Luna? Why aren’t I enough?” he whined as he tried to grab her.

“Our child will have an Alpha father. I will be Luna,” She held him back, “Don’t. He called for me. I am not risking him scenting you on me. I will be Luna.”

“But you said you would be my mate!”

“I deserve better. I will never again let anyone look down on me. Since we won’t be getting our price from Helios for that Luna b***h and pup, this is the next best thing.” She said.

“I’ll tell Alpha Geoff that Sandra is mine,” he challenged.

“You don’t have the balls,” she hissed, “You think he would spare you, or Sandra? Don’t you want your child to grow up to be Luna someday?”

“She could do that with me.”

“You’re pathetic. You can’t even leave the pack without Geoff’s permission. With me as Luna, I will change this pack for the better. Only I can control that beast. You and I will rule, and one day, we will kill him and take over the Pack. Trust me my love.” She cooed

“When”

“When I replace a way to take over every aspect of this pack. I’ll visit you tonight. We have a few more weeks to f**k before he marks me.” She said as she left the room, leaving a dejected Beta Trevor looking after her.

The mists swirled back over us. Kara, why do I need to know that Sandra is not Alpha Geoff’s child? – I asked.

I am not sure. I think some stuff will be easier to understand later.

We walked towards the next platform. The mists swirled around me and I waited as a new scene spread out around me.

We were once again inside Alpha Geoff’s office. Sandra was fuming and crying on the couch while Alpha Geoff was arguing with Luna Luisa.

“How does that b***h have a wolf? Isn’t she 17? How can you not know she has a wolf?”

“It’s not like I saw her be f*****g born” Luna Luisa growled.

“What the f**k are we going to do now? They are going to replace out that we kept the she wolves from the pack and that we kill them so we don’t have to feed them,” he growled.

“Don’t worry. Even if she talks, who’s going to believe an omega b***h. She has no proof”

“I want her dead! She stole my day. I was supposed to replace my mate! Not her! That Alpha is supposed to be my mate!” Sandra shouted

“Shut your trap useless pup! I already have to figure out a way for Alpha Markus not to demand punishment from you. Couldn’t you control your f*****g mouth for two days? You know the kind of mess you got yourself into? You beat someone in front of all the f*****g Alphas and none will protect you because you couldn’t f*****g grab one as a mate.” He growled at her and she shrank into the couch.

“That mutt is coming. Make sure you stay the f**k away from the hospital wing.” He said.

Sandra stomped out of the room as Markus came in.

“You wished to see us Alpha Geoff,” Markus and Gillian came in. Hostility rolling off both of them in waves.

“Yes, come in, come in. I would like to apologize on behalf of my daughter. She was not under the right state of mind. She had her heart set on replaceing her mate and was extremely disappointed. Had she known Celeste was your mate, I assure you, she would not have acted the way she did. You know how young girls are,” he chuckled.

“The problem here is that your daughter beat two innocent women that have done nothing but work hard for your Pack all weekend. They are also underage. That is fairly illegal.” Markus said, and I saw a vein at his temple pop. I could tell he was trying not to lose his cool. I could see his internal fight with Atlas to remain in control.

“Come now Markus, you know how it is with ranked wolves, we get a little over zealous with the help when we’re upset. We don’t need to involve the council over a temper tantrum.” He tried to wave it off.

I could see Mark’s fists at his sides, but Alpha Geoff seemed not to notice. Markus sighed. “I will not call the council to report the attack, however, I need some assurances.”

“Name them.” Alpha Geoff growled.

“Your daughter is not to get near my mate or Maya. She is not allowed on my pack lands unless she is invited or in an official capacity. She will address my mate as is deserving of her role as my future Luna. If you can guarantee me this, I will leave here in good terms, and not an enemy.”

“Done. I will make sure she never touches your mate again,” he said.

Just then, I heard Sandra shrieking and everyone bolted out of the office.

The mists swirled around us.

Why would Markus not press charges? She almost killed me. – I asked Kara.

He needs them to lower their guard. He cannot afford Alpha Geoff to go on the offensive. I think he was also afraid for the other girls, considering they are already disappearing.

Why did I need to know this?

Because you need to learn to choose your battles. It is important to know when to let something go in order to keep the peace or for a greater purpose. – She said as we walked out of the mist.

We walked towards the next platform. There were only two left before reaching the top. I could see the back of the woman sitting on a bench. Her hair was as black as the night and pooled on the floor. Her dress was white and shined like the stars against chocolate skin. I could not see her face.
