Chapter 38


    Chapter 38 – Markus


    Markus P.O.V.


    “What the hell?” I whispered as I saw the love of my life levitating from the burnt bed. Her entire body


    was covered in mes. She


    was radiating so much heat. The mes licked at the bed below her, yet they didn’t spread. She didn’t


    seem to be conscious, yet her eyes


    were open and her pupils had been reced by fire.


    She is our Aztec goddess – As whispered in awe and love in the recesses of my mind. I didn’t


    disagree, but I was concerned for her.


    The amount of heating from her was not normal and I was afraid she might be hurt. Now that I was


    close, I could sense the drain on her body. Had she been like this for 2 days? I worried. I slowly


    approached her, afraid of getting burned but willing to do whatever was


    needed to keep our mate safe.


    We were made for her. It will not hurt us – As assured me.


    How do you know this? – I asked.


    Goddess Selene made us for her. To protect her and love her. We wouldn’t be able to protect her if her


    fire hurt us.


    OK / trust you. Here goes. – Isaid as I reached out tentatively through the mes. They licked and


    danced on our hand but didn’t


    burn. I put my hand on her face, caressing it. Her eyes snapped to us.


    Mate – Kara and Celeste said into my mind. Her body stopped burning and she fell downward. I caught


    her in my arms. She curled


    into my arms and inhaled my scent. I held her tight, my face in her hair. Her delicious scent soothing


    every part of my soul. She was


    sleeping. Her heart beat was strong, and her body was back to normal temperature. She was naked


    and dirty from her run. It was clear to


    me that she had indeed been in this suspended state of burning since she left us two days ago. The


    kind of power that it took to maintain


    that kind of burn must have been giant.


    I sat down on the floor for a long time. Just holding my mate, my goddess. The most important piece of


    my life. I let my hands roam her body, relishing the feeling of the bond sparks that I had missed so


    much. Hearing her sweet little moans of contentmenting from her mouth as she slept. Once I was


    sure she wouldn’t disappear from my arms, I got up and walked with her to the bag and picked up the


    phone Maya had dropped in there. It was hers. It was getting close to 4 in the morning. I dialed Danny.


    He picked up on the first ring.


    “Alpha,” he said tentatively.


    “She’s here. Can you send a car to pick us up?” I said.


    “I’ve got the car ready. Maya and I will see you there. Is she alright?” he said, relief evident in his voice.


    “I think so. She was floating in a ball of fire. She’s asleep now.”


    “Ball of fire?” Danny said incredulously.


    “Ball of fire. If I hadn’t seen it myself, I would not believe it either. My Tuli has got a hell of a lot more


    power than we thought,”I


    said.


    “We’ll be there in a sh. Make sure you eat,” he said, and hung up. I picked up the shorts and wiggled


    them on as best as I could with


    Celeste in my arms. I then dressed Celeste as best as I could, but she wouldn’t let go of my neck so I


    had toy her on a couch with her


    arms wrapped around my neck as I slipped the dress up through her feet. Not that I wasining, I


    didn’t want her to stop touching me. I went to the steps of the mansion and ate a couple of sandwiches


    Maya had added to the bag and a couple of protein bars. I drank


    some water and managed to get her to drink some water, though she didn’t wake.


    An hourter, one of our SUVs approached. I got up with Celeste still sleeping soundly in my arms.


    Maya, Danny and Gillian got out of the car. All looking relieved. Maya had a fuzzy nket that she


    draped over Celeste and I returned her phone. Feeling the nket around her made Celeste snuggle


    further in my arms, putting her head into my chest, making a noise of happiness that had my heart


    soaring.


    “We need to find out more information about her lineage. There’s no way there’s no record of the


    abilities in her line,” Danny said as


    we drove back to the PackHouse and I described to them how I found her.


    answered.


    “What if we’re looking at this from the wrong angle?” I wondered out loud. All three heads looked at me


    as I caressed my hands


    through the hair of an unconscious Celeste, trying to brush some of the knots in her hair. “We’ve been


    trying to follow her lineage but


    what if these abilities only follow the women? That’s much harder to track and much easier for there to


    be no mention of abilities. Think about it. How often does a Luna need to exert power in front of outside


    packs?”


    Gillian’s eyes widened with realization, “That makes sense actually. Otherwise, these abilities would be


    possessed it. We’re not known for being bashful of our power.”


    “Speaking of power. Does anyone have a lighter? I have a theory to test,” Danny looked confused but


    handed me a lighter from the


    glovepartment. Maya was sitting on hisp since Celeste and I were taking up the entire back


    seat.


    I flicked on the me, took a breath and then put my hand over it then quickly removed it as I felt the


    sting of the me. “Ouch”


    said, and Celeste whined slightly in her sleep.


    “Alpha?” Maya looked concerned for my mental health, “Did you forget fire hurts?” her confusion at my


    actions was so genuine that I


    had to chuckle.


    “Fire bad,” Danny smirked.


    “I was checking to see if I was immune to all fire or just Celeste’s. The only way I managed to calm her


    out of her state of fire was by touching her. Her fire didn’t burn me. In fact, it seemed to like me. It was


    jumping on my skin like it wanted to y,” I exined.


    “That kind of makes sense. If she’s immune, since you’re fully mated, you should be too,” Danny said,


    “Never heard of though. Kind


    of badass.” I smiled at his words.


    Celeste was still sleeping when we pulled up to the Packhouse. Hints of pink and orange were starting


    to spread across the sky as the


    sun began to rise. Gillian told me he had let everyone know that we had found Celeste. They all had


    our mate. She had be loved by everyone in the short time she’d


    been with us.


    ‘The Luna is sleeping, you will have to be quiet. She is fine. I thank you for your concern,’


    Imind linked them as I gathered Celeste in


    my arms as I got her out of the car.


    I saw each and every face light up as they saw her in my arms as I passed by them and they bared


    their necks in submission to show


    their love for their Luna.


    ‘Damn, that’s something you don’t see every day. Bowing at a Luna who isn’t even awake


    Gillian mind linked me, Danny and


    Maya.


    ‘The Pack loves her.’ I was proud of my people and my mate.


    ‘We should have woken her up to see this. She should know we love her as much as she loves us,


    Danny said.


    I took a video, Maya giggled.


    ‘You are so smart baby,’ Danny said huskily.


    ‘Aaaand that’s my cue to go to bed. Good night Markus. I’m d we got our Luna back,


    Gillian said, and I saw him yawn.


    “Good night brother. Maya, can you please let the cook know we won’t be needing breakfast but to


    leave some snacks outside the

    door? I’m fairly certain Celeste will be hungry when she wakes up, but I don’t think she’ll wake up


    before lunch time. I could feel her drain, she will sleep a long time. I know I will.’


    ‘Will do. Good night Alpha.’ She said as she let Danny carry her up the stairs. None of my friends had


    really slept much while Celeste


    was gone.


    I carried Celeste to the elevator and pushed the button for our floor. I sighed as we started going up. I


    looked down at her in my arms


    and I felt all of my emotions of thest 2 dayse crawling out of the box I put them in while I looked


    for her. The tears were flowing


    down my face as I finally made it into the bedroom and Iid her down gently in the bed. I removed my


    shorts and put on some boxers


    and crawled in after her, pulling her to my chest. I cried silently as I just held her. I had never been so in


    love and so scared that I had lost her. A small pessimistic part of me had shown me a life where I


    wouldn’t hold her in my arms again while I looked for her. It was not a life


    We can’t lose mate. We will not survive her loss. –


    As whined in my head.


    You did not lose us. Celeste needed to heal her heart. Not from you, but from the life she’s led. She


    knows you did not betray us. But


    she doubts her own worth. We have talked to Selene. There’s a storming, but as long as we are


    united, we will OK. We are special.


    Not just us, but you and As. Our bond goes deeper than most. We have shared so much and we will


    share more of us soon. The


    stronger our bond, the more invincible we will be. Celeste has suffered so much, it is hard for her to see


    just how special she truly is


    sometimes. You have done so much to heal her heart and mind. Just show her how much you love us


    and she will do the rest.


    – Kara’s


    voice came through into my mind, soothing our soul and raising so many questions I knew we would


    get no answer to. The moon


    goddess Selene does not make mistakes. We were made for them and they for us. We had to trust the


    bond.


    We won’t let you down – Mine and As’ voice said back.


    I know you won’t. We were made for each other. We are strong. –


    Kara and Celeste’s love flowed brightly into us and for the first time


    in 2 days, I was able to fall asleep while inhaling the wonderful scent of our mate.
