‘Tuli?’Markus hesitantly mind-linked me after dinner as we sat in the living room.
‘Hmm?’
‘We need to question the prisoners. I would prefer you get some rest, but I won’t stop you if you want to be there.’
‘I need to be there Markus. We need to put an end to this once and for all.’
‘You will need to let us do what we need to, mate. It won’t be pretty. We can’t show hesitation,’Atlas answered back.
‘I understand, Atlas. Do what you need to. I just have some questions of my own.’
“Markus, we need to have that conversation with Danny’s contact,” Gillian suddenly broke the morose silence of the room.
“Okay. Phone call first, then we head to the dungeons.” Markus sighed, getting up. This was everyone’s queue to clear out of the room. Markus, Gillian, and I started heading to the office.
“I‘ll be there in two minutes,” Danny said, leading Maya toward the third floor.
‘Maya, do you wish to be a part of this? I could talk to Markus,’ I asked her. This was as much her fight as it was mine.
‘I don’t think it would be wise. I am not as strong as you, Celeste. I don’t have the stomach for what is going to happen in the dungeons. I would just be a distraction,’she answered weakly.
‘There’s nothing wrong with that Maya. You have a kind soul. It’s good that you won’t let anything stain it. That is what makes you the perfect balance to me as the gamma female,’I assured her. ‘Why don’t you check on Milly and the twin? Do you know what his name is? I want to visit him tomorrow.’
‘It’s Malakai. He is one of Mrs. Wriley’s grandchildren. His mom works at the pack house too. They often help her.’
‘Go see him. Make sure he’s okay. Tell him we will cook him whatever he wants because he was so brave,’I said.
‘Yes, Luna. He’ll be over the moon. He devours everything you make.’She chuckled.
Danny walked into the office a few minutes later.
“Is she going to be okay?” Markus asked him.
“Yes. She’s a tough cookie. Plus, our luna is keeping her busy,” he said, smirking at me. Markus looked at me, a confused question in his eyes, to which I shrugged.
“Of course, she’s going to be busy. She is officially my gamma female in two days. We have duties, and as Danny said, she’s a tough cookie. She can handle it.”
‘Thank you. Having a sense of purpose is just what she needs. She’s been unhappy without anything to do,’Danny’s voice flitted through my head.
‘She just needs to be reminded of how important she is to everyone sometimes. I am glad she has you, but sometimes being told you are enough by someone other than the person who was made to love you makes a bigger impact.’
‘Well, let me be the one to tell you today that you are an amazing luna, and we are all the better for being in your life,’he said, making me smile.
“If you’re done having private conversations with my mate, can we get the call going? We have some unpleasant business to complete today that I prefer not to push to tomorrow,” Markus said with a raised eyebrow as he noticed the glazed looks on Danny and me. I couldn’t help but laugh as I slid my arms around him from where I sat on his lap. His jealousness was cute. Danny blushed and started to dial his contact’s number on the landline so he could put the call on speakerphone.
‘Do I want to know why Danny is blushing?’Markus asked as the phone rang.
‘Just chatting about Maya and he told me I was amazing… you know. Normal things,’I teased.
‘So you’re going to leave me with those words without context? Do you hate Danny so much that you would let me kill him today?’he asked.
‘A little jealousy never hurts in the bedroom,’I purred
‘It hurts Danny,’he grumbled before we heard Gillian’s cough. Someone had answered the call and was waiting for Markus to respond to a question.
Danny tried to cover a laugh with a cough as we realized we’d been caught. Gillian, it seemed, took pity on Markus and mind linked him the question because Markus cleared his throat and answered.
“Yes, we have them in the dungeons. We are about to interrogate them but I believe the information you have may help steer the interrogation in our favor?” Markus asked hopefully.
