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 tes. 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 d 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 y 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, wee 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! d 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 tes scattered down the middle of the giant dining
table. I took a bit of a few tes, 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 te.
He was not wrong. It wasn’t a typical eggroll. It seemed to be some sort of tex-mex variation with ck
beans, cheese, chicken and
jpeno. 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 tes 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
Cajun spices, creamy mashed potatoes with a drizzle of the same chicken garlic butter sauce, green
beans with bacon and brussels
sprouts. I noticed most tes were practically licked as they were picked up at the end of the course. I
even heard a few wondering about
seconds. I didn’t me them. In any other circumstance. I would have been running to the kitchen to
see if I could lick a spoon. Alpha
Geoff was puffing his chest at all thepliments as if he’d made it himself.
Theard an angelic voice as a door opened “Make sure everyone gets a saucer of cream” as people
made their way into the kitchen. I
was still staring at the door, hypnotized by such a delicate voice, when a te was lowered in front of

me. I resisted the urge to drool.
raspberries on top.
You gonna eat that’ i mind linked Gillian.
“You bet your ass I am. If the other courses are any indication of how good this is going to be, I can die
a happy man after I lick the
te,’ Gillian responded.
I’m your Alpha, I could make you?’ Itaunted.
‘My loyalty to you has a limit and it appears to stop atva cake,
Gillian said seriously after taking a bite of his dessert.
I smirked at him and then took a bite of my dessert. ‘Oh f**k, I don’t me you. I’d kill me too.
I didn’t say anything else as I just kept
eating dessert. Everyone seemed enraptured with eating the deliciousva cake. Thest of the tes
were taken off and everyone chatted pleasantly to each other. I could tell Alpha Geoff seemed to be
getting drunker and drunker as time went on. The other pack leaders started to feel ufortable and
one by one, they all started to excuse themselves and heading to their assigned guest rooms. It
was also obvious that Sandra kept trying to flirt with some of the Alpha’s. I wondered if she thought she
could nab the role of chosen
mate to an Alpha as a back up n in case tomorrow was a dud. I truly felt sorry for her mate. She
wasn’t ugly, but you could see there
wasn’t much between the ears and she was the daughter of the most disgusting person. I doubt there
was much to like.
“Please excuse us, it’s been a long journey. We will take our leave and rest for tomorrow. My
We made our way towards our assigned guest suites. I smelled the most intoxicating smell of honey
and strawberries and what I could only describe as a winter’s night. As stirred in my head and
started wagging his tail. They must be getting ready for tomorrow’s food, I thought, and kept going
towards the room.
‘We should try get some information from the kitchen staff tomorrow. Discretely. They all looked pretty
malnourished. We may be
able to offer them sanctuary in exchange for information.
Imind linked Gillian as we reached our rooms.
I’ll see what I can do tomorrow.’ He said.
