Chapter 79


    Chapter 79 – Markus


    Markus P.O.V.


    The next couple of days passed by fairly quickly. Evergreen joined us the next day, in the evening. He


    went straight to the room, came back out, took my credit card to buy some generators and has only


    wifi withdrawal. He was short tempered and keeps checking his phone only to grunt and put it back


    down.


    It turned out that there already was the technology to digitize all of the books and journals in the room.


    They would be scanned and


    a digital copy of the journal would be stored for future reference, but a software would also extract the


    document’s writings and pictures


    and not only would it create a typed script of the page, but could trante it to whatevernguage you


    needed. An index was being generated for easy search function as each document was being


    scanned. It was quite impressive, but we were all scared to let him know


    lest he call us all primitive brutes and shut the door on our face. Again.


    Gillian came and sat next to us as we talked outside a couple of hours before lunch, “Someone will


    have to go grab him at lunch


    time. I have been barred from the room for the rest of the day.”


    Diegoughed, “What did you do? Last night, I was asked to leave very politely but firmly after I thought


    the machine was broken and


    he told me that he’s not a miracle worker. He can only get so much amp out of the generators and he


    doesn’t understand how someone


    can live without Netflix.”


    “I am apparently not to be trusted after he discovered I mibeled a page under another index,” Gillian


    grumbled, “It seems the only one that can do no wrong is the Luna. He’s all rainbows and sunshine


    talking about possible pup names with Celeste before I got kicked


    out.”


    “I am beginning to understand my cousin has that effect on just about everyone she meets. Tomas


    hadn’t gotten his mom toe


    into the Pack grounds in almost 5 years and she’se to thest two dinners,” he said.


    “She is fiercely protective of her loved ones and they her. Everyone that gets to know her loves her. But


    man, wait until you’ve been


    on the other side of her temp-Oooh h-hi love. How’s the scanning going?” I said as I saw hering


    out of the Packhouse with a ss of


    lemonade. Everyone at the table was smirking at me.


    “On the other side of my what, Markus?” she asked casually, not moving from the door.


    ‘Help me,’l mind linked Gillian as my mouth bobbed open and closed.


    I’ve already taken s**t from one moody wolf today. I don’t need to add hormonal pregnant she-wolf to


    my day,


    Gillianughed.


    Celeste raised an eyebrow and was waiting for me to answer when Lupe’s bike came out the rows of


    maize. She walked up to Celeste


    and led her inside. They were beginning preparations for tomorrow’s full moon. As three other packs


    wereing, their small numbers


    just made sense when trying to find their mates. I sighed with relief as I saw her retreat when I heard


    her in my head, If you think talking s**t with the guys about your mate is something I’m going to forget,


    you’ve got another thinging, my love. Payback is a b***h!


    groaned as the guys startedughing. “Are you in the dog house, cousin?” Diego saidughing, “The


    big mighty Alpha, scared of a tiny she-wolf.” I noticed only the ones without mates were doubled over


    “Yes, well, if I show up at your suite tonight asking to hide me, you better f*****g open the door,” I said


    as I looked back at the door.” can’t wait to hear how you guys put your tails between your legs when


    you find your mates.”


    One of the older mated malesughed at that and tipped his beer at me. “Every male thinks they can


    handle a woman until they get


    mated to one. I always enjoy watching their faces fall as they realize who the weaker s*x actually is.”


    Diego’s eyes zed over. “Intruders at the river,” he said as he stripped, shifted and started off. We all


    followed suit.


    The mountain had mostly one way in and one way out, but asionally, someone managed to find an


    underground water river that


    provided them with a water source. It took a lot of strength to fight up the river in order to make it to the


    only climbable entrance to the


    Packgrounds. Diego told me it always made for either an easy capture or a frightening fight. Anyone


    who could make it up was either


    ‘Markus!’ Celeste’s voice came into my head.


    I’ll be fine Tuli. I need to help,’ I answered her.

    I heard her sigh in my head, making my heart clench, I know. Please be careful. I love you.’


    I love you more. See you in a little bit, I said as I heard the fighting and cut off the mind link.


    We followed Diego’s wolf Tenoch down into a cavern. The growls of the other wolves echoed through


    the cavern but what surprised


    me was the cking of what sounded like staves.


    We arrived in time to see two men fighting against 6 werewolves. They did not smell like werewolves


    themselves, but they also didn’t smell human. They smelled like….more. It was hard to describe. They


    had inhuman strength. They were wearing nothing but a loin cloth. Their copper skin glittering with


    sweat and water. 3 werewolves were in their human form, fighting with sticks, trying to make


    openings for the wolves to strike. Somehow, it didn’t seem like they were winning.


    I waited for Tenoch to do something so we could follow his example, but then he surprised me when he


    shifted back into his human


    form.


    “It’s them. Go back! He must have figured out Celeste is here. It’s the only reason they would attack.


    The borders are safe but


    Huitzilopochtli has ways around the mountain. Go protect your mate. We’ll handle these guys.”


    Otto, As and Zack’s wolf Perseus turned around with As’s roar. We were half way back when I felt


    Celeste’s panic and anger,


    making As push to run faster.


    I saw only one man in front of the Packhouse surrounded by wolves. I circled around towards the front


    doors of the Packhouse. I couldn’t see Kara outside, which means Gabriel must have kept her inside


    as I could not see his wolf out here either.


    ‘Celeste?’ I mind linked him.


    ‘She’s in the records room. Evergreen, one of their warriors and I are guarding the door.’


    ‘Good. Keep her there,’ I said.


    She is fighting us Alpha,’ he said.


    ‘Tie her down in the room if you have to. They are here for her,’


    I told him and cut off the mind link.


    ‘Tuli, stay in the room,’ I begged her.


    ‘Markus I can fight,’s he said.


    ‘No, the pupse first. It is just one man. We can handle this,’


    As answered for me.


    ‘You can’t expect me to hide while you’re in danger, As,’


    she growled, and I could feel her struggling against someone.


    You can and you will. I will not risk the pups,’ he shut the mind link after that, hoping she would heed


    his words and we turned our attention to the man in front of us. Aside from the light somewhat modern


    clothing he was wearing, he looked exactly the same as in the pictures we found in the books.


    “Entreguen a loba de que peleo contra mi. No tengo pelea con ustedes. E pagara los pecados


    de sus ancestros.”


    ‘Give me the she-woll, descendant of the one that fought against me. I have no quarrel with you. She


    must pay for the sins of her


    ancestors,’ Mateo’s voice came into my head.


    As growled. One of the wolves shifted back, Diego’s mother walking to the front.


    “Has echo suficiente da?o. Pide perdon a tu hermana. Deja a tus hermanos en paz. Nadie aqui a


    peleado contigo Huitzilopochtli.


    Vete en paz, y nadie te atacara.”


    ‘You’ve done enough harm. Ask your sister to forgive you. Leave the rest of your siblings’children to


    live in peace. No one here has fought against you. Leave in peace and no one will stop you’- Mateo


    Huitzilopochtli roared and rocks fell from the sides of the mountains, “Entonces moriran todos por solo


    una perra.” he said and a


    turquoise staff appeared in his hand.


    ‘Then you have chosen death. All of you will die for one bi-woman,


    Mateo stuttered and didn’t finish the original wording, knowing


    it was Celeste he was speaking of. Everyone growled at that. The male wolves took a tentative step


    forward while most she wolves took a


    step back. The staff began glowing red. The bottom of the staff began undting.


    ‘What’s the n Markus?’ Gillian asked, as Otto moved in front of a she wolf. There was no doubt in


    my mind that this was Cam’s


    wolf.


    As answered. I could sense


    Wait for the pack to make a move. We cannot attack on our own. We can’t coordinate an attack,


    frustration from everyone through the mind link.


    “Suficiente,” Huitzilopochtli said, and I saw in horror as a wave of lighting left his staff. It was directed at


    Mrs Rodriguez, but


    thankfully a wolf barreled into her side and the lighting hit the rock behind her, leaving a scorched mark.


    Everyone rushed the god of sun and war. You could hear growls and whines of pain as we tried to


    make it under his turquoise staff. He wasn’t the war god for nothing. I saw as wolves were sent flying


    by the force of his staff. asionally, you could smell the burnt flesh


    as they were hit by the rays emanating from it.


    ‘We have to get the staff away,


    growled at my pack. Find an openi-‘ I was interrupted as there was a st that seemed to go in every


    direction as if a bomb had gone off in the center. We all hit the ground at once. Some of us fairing


    better than others.


    “Suficiente! La perra o muerte” He screamed.


    ‘Enough! The woman or death,’- Mateo groaned into my mind as he struggled to stand.
