Markus P.O.V.
All of the Alphas seemed to be nice enough. A couple only knew broken English, but they seemed to
get along well enough with Celeste and Diego. However, all throughout dinner, I kept seeing Alpha
Josue eye f*****g Celeste and that wasn’t sitting well with me and As. Even Diego seemed angry at
his tant disrespect towards my mate. Celeste, however, seemed unphased. She was in quite a
happy
mood. She had prepared Gillian’s room while we were away.
“I can’t get over how much you look like your mother. Same rare beauty. Same nice curves,” he said,
and I growled.
“Same disinterest in you as well it seems,” Alpha Diegoughed as Celeste ignored his quips as she
continued to eat and the rest of the tableughed.
How are you so calm?’ I growled at her, not meaning to sound as harsh as I did.
She raised an eyebrow at my tone but sighed. spent years being verbally assaulted by the unmated
warriors in Blood Moon Pack. This guy is pretty tame even though he feels he’s bold for speaking to a

‘That’s my job,’ I grumbled.
‘The only thing we have to worry about is not letting him near Cam before the full moon.’
She said and I looked down to where
Gillian was sitting a few seats down. He was not eating and kept looking at the door every time he saw
someoneing through.
‘You told her where to go? ‘I asked her. She had talked to Cam earlier when she took her lunch. She
had told Celeste why she was
being forced to hide and Celeste had helped her make a n to meet Gillian in the maize fields. She
had even told Celeste that if she and
Gillian weren’t mate, she would consider epting him as her chosen mate. Celeste knew better, but
had told her if it was what Gillian
wanted, we would support it.
‘Yes, she’s very nervous. Looks like he is too. I hate not being able to tell him but Selene made me
promise.’
She sighed. ‘Did you talk
to Evergreen?’
‘Yes, he said he’s too close to finishing. He will catch up to us after the run.’
Weter watched our Beta and friend walk into the maize field alone.
Let her be his and he hers. I sent a quick prayer to Selene. I
believed Celeste when she said he would find his mate here, but we could not be 100% sure it was her.
We headed to the small stage that
they used for the runs. Alpha Diego gave his speech and then we all looked up as we waited for the
moon to reach the peak.
Celeste and I kept our eyes on our people. We were the only mated pair out of the 11 of us that came
down. Celeste thought maybe
Gabriel would find his mate so we were excited to see if it was true.
I saw a couple of people start smelling in the air, looking for that intoxicating scent that would be unique
to their mate. Celeste grabbed my arm and I looked at Gabriel. He had gone stiff. His eyes were
scanning the crowd a trying to sniff. “Mio,” said a woman standing behind him. Gabriel turned around,
“Mine” He growled as he grabbed her to him. I saw Celeste do a small shimmy and then Eddie, one of
the Spanish speaking guards we brought jumped onto the tform and in front of one of the daughters
of an Alpha. “Mine,” he growled as the Alpha stood in front of his daughter defensively. He looked from
his daughter to
my guard and rxed his stance and stepped aside.
Igrinned at Celeste and pointed towards him but she was looking at Diego, who was sniffing at the air,
scanning the crowd. He
seemed to smell his mate but couldn’t tell where she was. Suddenly, we saw a pretty female running
out of the Packhouse. “No aguante,
necesita-” she stopped as she sniffed the air. She started looking around and Diego was in front of her

in a sh.
“MIA,” he roared and she gasped. Her Alpha father cheered her on at the match.
Diego pulled her up to the stage before he announced it was time to shift. Everyone who hadn’t seen
her shift yesterday gasped and awed lightly at Kara while As stood proudly next to her. Her long
ck fur blowing in the light breeze. People began running when we
We were half way through the run when Otto and the pretty wolf he had shielded the day before joined
in. He fell in step with us with
Cam’s wolf running at his side.
I opened a link to him and Celeste, I’m happy for you brother.’ I told him and I saw Otto grin as we ran
got your room ready while you were away. Diego assured me it was sound proof,
Celeste added with a giggle.
“Thank you both, but we still need to have a conversation about how you knew,’
he said as we made our way back.
“All in good time,’ Iughed. Unless you want to spend tonight talking about that.’
47**no. She already marked me. I’ve waited too long for her,’ Otto answered and we allughed. I cut
the mind link off and we gave
our congrattions to Gabriel and Eddie and let them know they can skip their next shift to guard.
We wereing around the front of the Packhouse to shift back when I saw Evergreening out of
the doors. He must have just
finished the scanning. He looked tired. He handed us our clothes that we had left at the side of the
door.
“I finished the scanning. I will just need to…” he stopped and looked behind us. His eyes went wide and
we turned around as we saw a light brown brindle wolfing straight for him. I grabbed Celeste and
pulled her from the path as it barrelled into him as he growled”
Mine” under his breath.
We waited patiently, Celeste basically vibrating from happiness. She grabbed a shirt and shorts and
waited as the girl shifted back, but they remained on the ground until I cleared my throat. The pretty
she-wolf blushed and stood up, gratefully thanking Celeste as she
put on clothes.
“I won’t keep you guys long. I am very happy for you Evergreen and ehhh,” I said towards the girl.
“Valeria, Alpha” she said shyly.
“Valeria, wee to our pack” I said and turned to Evergreen. “You were saying you were finished with
the scanning but needed to
do something?
“Right, uhh. Yeah.” He said nkly and Iughed. “We have scanned everything. I just need to create a
workable database software
front for easy ess. It should take me an hour tomorrow.”
“OK great work. Get going! You have a lot of getting to knowing each other,” I said, and they were gone
before leven finished the
sentence.
“Well that was a surprise. We came for information and we found mates for 4 of our pack,” Celeste said
brightly.
“Yep!” I said popping the p. “So…what do you want to do?” I asked as we headed back inside the
Packhouse. Most people had
retired, or were eating again after the run. Alpha Josue seemed to be looking for someone while he had
a woman in each side of his
arms.
“He’s still trying to find Cam,” Tomas said from behind, “I’m about to go break it to him that she’s
officially unavable. I saw her
heading inside with your Beta. She’s already marked,” he smirked. “I’m d to know she’ll be in good
hands, I hope it’s OK if we visit on
asion.”
“Of course, you are always wee,” I said.
“Now I gotta get a passport visa,” he sighed as he headed towards Alpha Josue.
guided Tuli towards our room, a sudden thought urred me, “How are we getting all of our new pack
members home without
immigration papers?”
“Oh, I’ve already prepared for that,” Celeste said, and I looked at her in surprise. “I already knew that
Gillian might have a mate here,
so I had Evergreen get in touch with a Werewolf contact at US immigrations. As long as they have a
birth certificate, we just have to take them to the US embassy in Mexico City the morning before our
flight. They will issue them permanent residency identification before we leave. They are expecting us
at 9am. Once we get home, they will get a letter for the US Citizenship ceremony.”
“OK, that’s impressive. I didn’t even think to prepare,” I said, and she smiled as she walked in.
“That’s why I’m the Luna and you’re the Alpha,” she teased me and I raised an eyebrow. “How about
we go for number 6,” she said as
she walked into the bathroom, tossing the clothes to the side. It took me all of 5 seconds to figure out
what she was talking about before
“Good Morning,” I said to the table as we walked in. I had called a meeting of all the warriors and their
new mates. “We will try to
keep this brief as we’ve got 1 day to make some decisions.”
I sat at the table with Celeste sitting by my side, chewing on some dried beef stuff she had called
machacado. It appeared to be one
of her cravings.
“We need to know if you have all discussed who is going where. Usually, this isn’t too big a task, but as
we’re in a different country and scheduled to leave tomorrow, it’s a bit of an urgent issue. Have you all
decided?” I asked them.
“Yes Alpha,” most of my men responded.
“Alright, shall we go around the table?”
“Alpha Markus, before we continue, if I may,” Cam asked. I nodded at her encouragingly, “None of us
have been outside of the
country before. How are we going to get to the United States? We can no longer just walk through like
our parents used to.”
“Ah, well I asked that too, but Luna Celeste has figured that out with Evergreen over thest week. We
have an appointment with the
US conste tomorrow morning where we will meet a werewolf contact there. Anyoneing back
with us will need their birth certificate. You will be issued permanent resident status. Once we’re home,
you will receive an appointment for a citizenship
ceremony.”
I looked around the room as the couples discussed things together. Cam spoke up first, “I wille
with Gillian.”
“I will also travel with Evergreen. We discussed thisst night,” Valeria said, smiling shyly at Evergreen.
I turned to Eddie and Gabriel.
“With your permission, Alpha, I would like to stay,” Eddie said, “Maritza’s father is due to step down and
her brother is about to
be Alpha. They have no Beta and her brother has offered the position to me as the mate of his
oldest sister,” he said.
“That is eptable, Eddie, though I’ll be sad to see you leave the pack. You are a good warrior. Your
new pack is lucky to have you. We can talk after and figure out what we need to ship down to you.”
He nodded, “Thank you Alpha”
“Alpha, Brenda has a few questions before she decides,” Gabriel said. I had noticed they were the only
mated pair that had yet to
mark each other.
“Of course,” I said.
“Would I be able to continue being a warrior in your pack. Our previous Alpha and other Alpha’s around
here will not let women work as warriors,” she said tentatively, looking over at Gabriel. I wondered if
they had discussed this and she just needed confirmation before
she epted him.
“If that is your wish, we encourage women to pursue what they want to do. Luna Celeste had an idea,
but we will respect whatever decision you make regarding your career,” I told her and nodded at
Celeste to continue. She blushed as she was in the middle of
munching on her beef.
“Well, I would like Gabriel to remain as my guard, but as Luna, we will have to travel on asion for
Pack business. I don’t like the idea of separating mates, so I thought, if you were up for it, you could
train to be the twins’ official guard once they are here. That way, you could travel together. In the
meantime, you can train and do whatever you need. Take on assignments as you see fit,” she
said.
Brenda’s face remained nk, giving nothing away. “You would trust me to guard your pups?” she
asked.
“Of course. You will be training until I give birth and I know the moon goddess would not have paired
you with Gabriel if you were not as fierce and loyal as him,” Celeste answered without hesitation. She
had observed her throughout the week and I had been keeping an
eye out yesterday. People respected her as a warrior. One of the few female warriors in the Pack,
which meant she had earned it.
A smile slowly formed on her face, “I would be honored to be the twin’s guard. Yes, I ept,” she said,
but she was looking at Gabriel,
not me.
“I’m going to assume that answers my questions as well,” I said, trying to hold in myugh, “You two
may go. Gabriel, take today off,
“Thank you Alpha, Luna,” he said, grabbing Brenda’s hand and practically flying out of the conference
room. Everyone chuckled at
that. It was clear they were about to goplete the mate bond.
“Well, shall we go have breakfast?” Celeste said brightly, “Evergreen, can you show us your front-end
user software before supper?
Diego might need a bit to y with it so he can use it properly.”
“Yes Luna. I will have it ready before lunch,” he said as we all headed towards the dining room.
