Chapter 22


    Markus Chapter 22 – Markus


    Markus P.O.V


    It’s been two days. Maya and Celeste were starting private tutoring lessons today after we found and


    vetted someone. I was still


    proud of her for wanting to get an education. We were still waiting for dad’s witch friend to be fully


    vetted. I wasn’tfortable with a


    witch knowing about her abilities, but there was no avoiding it. Celeste needed help only she could


    provide.


    Danny had arrivedst night but I let him take a hot shower and good night’s rest before I hounded him


    for any information that he


    had. Unfortunately, that wasn’t much. These traffickers were very good. They dealt with the


    transactions digitally with encryption and made things hard to track. I was surprised that they seemed


    to have such a sophisticated set-up. Alpha Geoff was a?oaf. It was hard to


    reconcile this level of sophistication with the man.


    “So….when do I get to meet the Luna? Or are you ashamed of me?” Danny asked.


    “I have always been ashamed of you, my friend.” Heughed. “She’s busy at the moment. She will be


    done around 4 and then she’s decided to cook you dinner.” I smiled, thinking about my little ball of fire.


    She was slowly opening up a little more. I knew it was hard for


    her. After living with a lie and being discarded for 12 years, it was hard for her to realize that someone


    could care for her. But As and I were determined to win over our mate. We had seen the interest in


    her eyes, we just had to nurture that interest and turn it into a raging fire that rivaled ours. We spent


    hours in my bed each night, ying 20 questions. I wanted to get to know her. I wanted her to know


    me. I knew I already loved her with every fiber of my being, but I needed to wait for her to catch up.


    As had a hard time reigning himself in while we made out in bed. Sometimes wanting to push


    forward and im her, but I reminded him of what she’d been through and he


    would settle down somewhat. It didn’t stop either of us from asionally squeezing her fantastic ass.


    “A Luna cooking? Should I prepare my anti-acids?”


    “Ask Gillian about her cooking,” I smirked. I was looking forward to her cooking, though I still thought it


    would eventually get to be too much for her. Gillian’s mother was also spending a few days a week


    helping her learn what her responsibilities of a Luna entailed. I


    was afraid it was going to be information overload soon.


    “Hmm, he’s saying he’s pre-requested seconds and is wearing his stretchy pants to dinner today. Is it


    that good?” He asked. I


    nodded.


    “OK, what else do we need to talk about that you couldn’t tell me over the phone?” He asked.


    Ileaned back in my chair, “It’s about Celeste and who she is.”


    “She’s the daughter of those people from the Sky Moon that got killed right? You already told me that.”


    Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Did I mention her blood line?”


    He frowned, “No, what about it.”


    I gave him all of the information my father had given us. At the end of the exnation he whistled,


    “Damn, you got one interesting


    mate.”


    “Tell me about it. She’s f*****g perfect.”


    “It sounds like the mighty 1-don’t-need-a-mate has been turned into man putty.”


    “When you meet her, it will make sense,” I assured him, “When you hear what she’s been through, you


    will admire her, and when you


    see what kind of person she is, you will vow to protect your Luna just like I have.”


    “Forget the man putty, you’ve fallen hard brother.”


    I smiled. “Just waiting for her to catch up in that department. She’s like this little ball of fire that isn’t


    used to someone caring for her.


    “Well, we both know I don’t know s**t about women, but whatever you need. I will tell her you’re a great


    Alpha and a romantic and


    s**t. You know, lie”


    Iughed.


    to stay on target despite his carefree personality.


    I sighed, “I am not sure yet. We have a couple of weeks before we have to decide. Alpha Rhett is


    decided to change his meeting to tonight when he heard Celeste was cooking.”


    “Well damn, now I’m curious.”


    “You won’t be disappointed.”


    “I’m going to go see my grandparents. Let me know when dinner is ready”


    ‘How’s it going, Tuli?’


    ‘Shhh, I’m trying to learn’ she said and cut the mind link.


    Iughed. Mate is dedicated. She will be an excellent Luna –


    As purred with pride for what seemed like the 50th time in thest


    week. Danny thought I was man putty, he hadn’t seen As talk about our mate.


    Still, I missed her already, so I casually passed by the makeshift ss room we had made from one of


    themon rooms in the


    Packhouse for her and Maya. I looked at her from the little window in the door. I couldn’t smell her from


    here, so I knew that I wasn’t


    going to distract her. Still, I was surprised when she looked out the little window and met my eyes. I


    grinned and waved. ‘Sorry, I will let


    you study.’ She just smiled and turned back to her tutor.


    I wondered back to my office and started doing some work. My assistant came in and gave me the


    things I’d ordered for Celeste. I


    can’t wait to give it to her.


    Two hourster, I smelled Celeste on the other side of the door. I heard a light knock. “Come in.”


    “I’m done with my lesson. I’ll be starting dinner in an hour but I just wanted to spend some time with


    you,” She said, blushing.


    “Come here,” I said, swiveling around on my chair so that she could sit on myp. I inhaled her scent


    as she wrapped her arms around me. I loved the fact that she was getting morefortable with my


    touch, “Are you enjoying all the lessons you’re having?”


    “Yes, there’s a lot more to being a Luna than I knew. Luna Luisa never seemed to do any of them and


    Mrs Quinn is very patient. She’s


    teaching me how to use herputer so I can ess all the stuff.”


    “Hmm, about that. I got something for you,” I opened the desk drawer and pulled out the phone and the


    help with your assignment and your duties. The phone is so we canmunicate if you’re ever off the


    Pack Grounds.”


    She blushed and kissed me lightly on the lips. Unable to stop myself, I pulled her closer and deepened


    the kiss. I gently requested


    ess to her mouth. She gave a tiny little moan that made my c**k hard and opened her mouth for me.


    Her sweet taste fueled my desire.


    She pressed herself forward, her heavy breasts pressing against my chest. It was my turn to moan as I


    moved my right hand from her butt


    to her luscious breast, pushing her shirt up along with it. I felt my c**k twitch, struggling against my


    jeans, when I felt her n****e harden


    under my touch. She grinded her s*x on my c**k as if on instinct. I shuddered. “f**k, we should stop


    before I take you right here in my


    office.”hated saying those words, but I knew she wasn’t ready. She pulled back and hugged me tightly,


    putting her head on my chest,


    and she sighed.


    “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that,” she said. I pulled her head upward to look back down at her.“I


    love every time you touch me.


    Please don’t stop.” She smiled and gave me a light kiss. “I’m going to go change and get started on


    dinner.


    dessert. Come taste test the custard if you have time.”
