Alpha Markus and Celeste

Chapter 10 – Celeste 

Celeste P.O.V 

Icould smell food, bleach and that strange cologne of pistachios and figs and wet earth as well as other smells that were not as

dominant. I tried to move my arm, but my side hurt, so I opened my eyes instead. I saw Maya with a group of men around a small table. It

looked like they were eating and chatting amicably. I could tell we were in the hospital, but this room looked different than what I would

expect it to look like. It was almost homey. There were comfortable chairs, blankets and a laptop about. I felt the man with his back to

me stiffen and turn. I was met with the most wonderful grey eyes.

I felt Kara sigh contently in the back of my mind. She sounded exhausted.

Are you doing Ok? -I asked with a little concern.

I am fine. It just took a lot of energy to heal you. I just need a nap. Be nice to him, OK?

I will try. You rest.

The man stood up and approached me like a weary man waiting for the rabbit to be spooked. He was tall, at least 6’3” tall and muscular. The plain white tshirt was tight around all the right muscly places. His broad chest tapered down to a small waste and I could almost see the v line at leading down into his jeans.

sitting at the table got up and left the room. “My name is Markus. Do you know where you are?” He asked.

“Hos-Hospital,” I said. My throat was so dry, it was hard to talk. Markus provided me with a glass of water. It soothed my throat as

gulped down the entire thing.

Maya ran past him and gave me a hug. “I was so scared you wouldn’t wake up. You saved me!”I patted her back awkwardly. I was not used to this kind of contact. I looked back at Markus. He was smiling softly at me. I tried to return the smile, but I am not sure it came out

as nice as his. Smiling was another thing I wasn’t used to doing. I noticed the rest of the men then. They were all standing from the table.
