Alpha Markus and Celeste

Chapter 65

Chapter 65 – Celeste

Celeste P.O.V.

I groaned. My feet hurt, it felt like someone had taken sandpaper and rubbed them raw. I felt weak and

my whole body felt like I was

on fire. I tried to stand up but my hands were tied together with silver cuffs. My shoes were missing and

the back of my feet did indeed

look like they had been rubbed raw. I tried to stand up but was so nauseated that I fell back down and

threw up.

“Oh, the b***h is finally awake. It was only a little wolfsbane. I had to drag you all the way out here

myself,” I heard a voice say from

behind me. I turned to see Sandra waving a gun around. I frowned, a gun would hurt me, but it was

nothing I couldn’t survive. As if

reading my mind, she said, “I wouldn’t think about running, the gun is full of silver bullets.” She pointed

the gun at me.

I tried to mind link but the silver cuffs were preventing me from doing it. The wolfsbane was preventing

me from talking to Kara, but

I could feel her whimpering while she tried to heal….my stomach? I looked down. I couldn’t see any

wound there.

“My mate is going to tear you to pieces if he finds out what you’re doing Sandra,” I said, trying to

reason with her. I could hear

howling from a distance. I couldn’t tell how much time had passed since she jumped me in the

bathroom, but I knew they were already

looking for me.

“Your mate? YOUR MATE? He should have been MY MATE!” She growled at me, “Why do you get an

Alpha mate? I’m the Alpha female. You’re just a f*****g slave. The goddess made a mistake. She must

have. Alpha Markus was supposed to be mine,” She growled as she

waved the gun at me.

“You might still find your mate. Maybe he just wasn’t able to attend your party?” I was trying to buy

some time. She looked pretty deranged. I looked at my surroundings and I could tell we weren’t even

off the Pack grounds. She really didn’t think it through but maybe

that was a good thing for me.

She growled and shot at the ground in front of me, “I found my mate. He was a lowly f*****g servant

from another pack. I killed him

the moment I knew. I am of Alpha blood, I do not have a common mate,” she looked behind me and I

saw the body of a young man a couple hundred yards away looking up at the moon, a large pool of

blood stained his chest. She killed her own mate? How could

someone be so greedy that they would kill half of their soul because they wanted an Alpha?

“No, I will not have a common mate. I will kill you. Then when Markus finds your body, I’ll tell him I got

here too late and I killed the

man that murdered his mate. While he grieves, I will make sure that he takes me as his chosen mate.

The way it should have been from

the start. I tried to do it before the ceremony, hoping it would be me instead of you, but you were never

alone in the mall. That stupid

giant warrior was always with you. No matter, we can have another one. A better one,” she said, and I

realized she was just

demented.

“Markus will never take you as his mate” I said calmly.

“Yes he will!” She said as she hit me with the gun across the face. I felt the stinging of her hit and I

tasted blood in my mouth. I

growled and charged into her. Wolf present or not, I was no longer the same omega she had picked on

and beat for 12 years. I struggled as I rolled off her. These damn cuffs were making things hard. I used

my burning feet to kick the gun out of her hand. Thank god for the

slit in the dress. She grabbed my foot and I screamed in pain as her claws dug into my legs as I fell

forward. She tried to scratch my face

and I put my feet under her and pushed her off. She shrieked and picked up a branch off the ground

and charged, but I moved out of her

way as she swung and fell forward.

I could hear the growls growing near and I screamed “I’M OVER HERE” towards the forest. I didn’t

realize how much that distraction cost me until I turned back in time to hear the gun go off. It was like it

happened in slow motion. I saw the bullet leave the gun and I released a stream of fire toward Sandra.

Before the bullet could hit, I felt something barrel into me. I landed on the floor with a thud and I heard a

whine come out of the dark brindle wolf that landed next to me. I heard a loud scream from the

distance. Sandra was shrieking in front of me, her body on fire. I heard more wolves approaching but

all I could see was Dash receding from the silver and leaving Danny’s face as he transformed in pain.

He was breathing shallow. I pushed him to his back and saw the bullet wound on his side, very close to

his

lungs. I didn’t know how to get the silver out of him. I didn’t know how to help him. I just put my hand

over his wound and cried.

“Celeste, it’s OK,” he wheezed out with a cough.

“No, you fight. Maya needs you. We need you. You f*****g fight,” I said using my Luna command as he

started losing consciousness. I felt Kara through the silver cuffs push forward, flowing strength through

me and I broke the silver cuffs off my hands. As soon as I did, I felt

Kara push forward.

“GET THE PACK DOCTOR HERE NOW,’ she screamed through the mind link.

Kara, we have to heal him. – I told her.

I don’t know if we can Celeste. Only Selene decides who we can heal.. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

she whimpered.

We have to. We can’t take him from Maya. –

sobbed.

Ok. You start praying to the moon goddess. Maybe she will let us. This is going to take a lot. We need

our mate. –

She said.

‘Markus! I need you. Help me help Danny,’ said through the mind link. “I’m right here baby. What do

you need. Tell me?” He said behind me. I turned and briefly saw a bunch of our warriors holding a

half-burned and soaking wet Sandra, dragging her out of the river.

“I need to heal him, but Kara said it’s going to take a lot of energy, just help us. Hold us. We have to get

the silver out,” I turned back

to Danny, who was unconscious now. His heart barely beating. I put my hands over his wound and

started praying. Please Selene, don’t take him from Maya. Please don’t let him die protecting me.

Trepeated over and over. I ignored the cry of anguish coming from Maya as she arrived and saw her

mate. I ignored Markus barking for Gillian to restrain her and Maya growling to get to Danny.I even

ignored as

Markus told everyone to leave, as I felt my hands begin to glow.

I sobbed a thanks to Selene and felt Kara and I pouring everything we could into Danny. I opened my

eyes as I felt my body lift. Danny

and I were both floating about a foot off the floor, Markus’s hands on top of ours as he also began to

glow and I realized we were pulling

from his strength. I saw as Danny groaned as the bullet slid out of his wound and fell to the floor. There

was a small drip of silver coming

out of his wound as we pulled all the poison out of his system. The stream hissed as it burned his flesh

on the way out. I could almost see

in my mind how his body was slowly healing. I heard him cough and groan and then I heard Atlas in my

head.

‘That’s enough, Tuli. He will live. We’ve healed him. He can finish healing on his own. It will hurt the

pup,

he said as he removed our

hands from Danny. We all dropped to the floor with small thuds and I saw Maya fall next to Danny as

he struggled to sit up, his wound still

bleeding. I sent up a silent prayer of thanks to Selene before I felt myself faint.
